Mr Postman, sir;

Read an article about a South American terror bird that used low-frequency sound (the article intimated) to “locate prey.” Imagine a six-foot sonar-guided razor-beaked appetite that can jog along at 35 mph and thinks you just might fill that terrible, terrible hunger in its craw.
Shudder.

Cod pieces are back in fashion? Who knew?

I'm a huge fan of Smilodons, but my heart (and other internal organs) belongs to the terror birds.

Hello.

Stasis bubble.

But it was MY retcon.
Plus, is stayed canon for decades, so I am not alone in that.
These days, the retcon cycle is about 18 months.

Precisely, except those powers come and go like the tides for poor old supes. I hear he can no longer fly, and he’s really just a big solar capacitor. Whoot? Before that, all of his powers were a manifestation of some kind of super telekinesis.
I understand that writers may want to “put their own stamp” on their work,

Yeah. No.
Marvel can screw around with its characters as it sees fit (as can Fox), but for me, Wand and Pietro will always be among the children of Magneto, mutant infants their mother died to keep from their evil father.

The Yellowstone superpocket is getting ready to blow. Head for the next planet, everyone!

I suspect it is because the artist has no idea what a female’s body would look like. Liefeld does not translate to 3D very well, you know.

As a side note, Ultron rips off ClaueKlaw’s left arm, but in the comical books, Der Klaw was usually missing his right arm, IIRC.
Course, it’s been a while.

Hydra never found the Inhuman Day Spa. SHIELD were the clever boots who tracked Goggles back to Sangra-lala.

True, but a better synecdoche would be to call it a “keycard,” and leave the string out of it.

Ach. Misuse of the language by a majority of people does not make it correct.
Did you know that most people say, “I could care less.” when the expression (and their intent) is “I couldn’t care less.”?
And so forth.

No, he chose a blue and grey key card, handed it to Coulson and said, “the color of that lanyard goes with your suit” or words to that effect.

I agree. She did mention that she had seen “just a list” turn into a pogrom way too many times to let her people be “indexed” by the gummint, even if it is Agent Adama selling the snake oil.
Registration is, in fact, the tool of oppressors. It does nothing to “help” the registrees, and little to assuage the paranoia of

Can some tell the writers (or Patton Oswalt) that those things he delights in handing out are not “lanyards”?
Lanyard are the strings the things hang on. The things are keycards, or passcards, or IDs, or some other similar description. But the lanyard is merely the string.
