As a parent of a younger millenial I can tell you that most of my friends, and I, pay for our kids cellphones well into their 20s. It’s easier to keep them on a family plan, and when they have the means, they often stay on the family plan and just start reimbursing their parents because it’s way more affordable that wa…

wasn’t that in Hunger Games? I think Lorde covered it.

I always thought it was for the same reason that Superman is depicted with blue highlights. The limited scope of comic book (inside pages) printing (esp 20-30+ years ago) meant that jet black hair looks flat and blocky unless you add a contrasting color highlight to give it motion and shape.

Dude is channeling some serious Larry Hagman there, no? Just me? ok.

They still have amazing sculptors, CAD is just a starting place. But my original point is, that’s probably why they sometimes struggle with characters from older properties. Also, as an artist who sometimes works on LFL related stuff, I can personally attest that both Carrie Fisher and Mark Hamill are notoriously diffi…

I don’t think that’s their process publicly, but I know that any licensed product from Marvel Studios or Lucasfilm, or Disney in general, is going to be provided the CAD of the actor for the sculptors to start from and the amount of time spent refining that sculpt beyond the provided CAD would be determined by the…

One had 3D scans provided by the studio, the other was filmed before that technology was available?

Legends had an 18 episode season 3, that’s about standard now, no?

yup, and Dean Cain played Kara’s adopted father. It all goes back to Noel Neill, the original Lois Lane. She appeared in both 1978 Superman and Superman Returns. I think that’s where the tradition of bringing back Superman alumni began.

Doesn’t Slater play her adopted Earth mom on the show? I’ve always liked how the Superman franchise repurposes its veterans. There’s a nice continuity in that. 

Fair enough. Admittedly not a snake motion expert. Thanks. That kind of makes sense.

what snake moves like that? I’m guessing there’s a person to the right off camera lowering the snake into the field of vision of the camera. Someone’s trying to go viral with this foolishness.

Didn’t Roseanne make a similar “joke” about Susan Rice? She’s got a track record and she’s full of shit.

xylitol is some evil stuff. I’ll take a good old-fashioned dum dum lollipop any day over the stomach cramps and headaches from that toxic crap.

Aw, now I want them to play Dick Van Dyke and Mary Tyler Moore in an SNL skit or a dream sequence, or something. You’ve planted that picture in my brain, damnit!

That toy has been made before, though. And it’s a far smaller scale. Wouldn’t justify the HasLab/crowdsourcing platform.

I actually like that that Canary doesn’t look like the rest of the lot, which all ready very quickly like security cameras to me. A Canary on a bookshelf kind of looks like a bluetooth speaker, and the black housing camouflages it in a dark room. If anything, I’m not crazy about the small glowing light under it, which…

Hasbro has been doing better at marketing to all kids. I know it’s a younger demographic and not as cool as BP but their Baby Alive marketing is really inclusive.

The code for the OxyLED under cabinet lights does not appear to be working.

Speak for yourself. I was invested when Peter’s mom died at the beginning of the first movie. I was invested when we realized why Yondu didn’t turn Peter over. I was sad when Yondu died, and I was weepy when he got a Ravengers funeral. Also, when Rocket breaks down about how he was created/tortured, that felt…
