While I agree that production should be restarted, the F-22 is Air Force, not Navy and Marines. And as noted it’s an air-dominance fighter, not a multirole platform like the F/A-18 and F-35. Its also EXTREMELY expensive.

HAHAHA at F-35s replacing the A-10. That may be the funniest April Fool’s joke I’ve seen all day.

“This leaves significant capability gaps against emerging threats...”

I thought one of the stupidest was the thing with the pears taking over DeviantArt. I mean what. The. Fuck. Am. I. Looking. At.?

Maybe. It’s honestly largely a fanon attempt to reconcile some inconsistencies, and was never stated in the books. However given that mood CAN affect physical health in real life — IE people suffering depression are more prone to illness, etc. — it certainly has some scientific basis. And Laura was certainly suffering…

Cuts by adamantium don’t affect a healing factor like that (evident when Logan and Laura fought in Target X, and her fight with the Old Man in All-New Wolverine). You’re thinking carbonadium.

Well, it’s not coming from Laura herself, but the books establish that she usually heals faster than Logan since she’s not constantly fighting adamantium poison. However because of her youth it can fluctuate with her emotional state. IE when she was still cutting herself those wounds tended to take longer to heal than…

There was a shot framed to visually reference Bonebreaker’s classic design torwards the end.

The vehicle Laura stole for the third act was an old Ford Bronco, around a ‘72. Looks like she was running pretty well for a 50 year-old beater.

An oath that the first time they were called to fight AGAINST Sauron they broke. It wouldn’t be the first false oath in literature (or Tolkien, for that matter). And it’s clearly established WHY they fulfill it when called out by Aragorn; it’s the only way they can redeem themselves and find peace.

Keep in mind that the material in the HoME works are of dubious canonicity, as many of them contain concepts that Tolkien either abandoned or reworked. And a LOT of Tolkien scholars take issue with Christopher Tolkien’s later work.

Actually they were evil even BEFORE they died, as they worshiped Sauron prior to the War of the Last Alliance, which is what led them to betray Isildur and refuse to fight rather than honor their oath to Gondor.

Celebrimbor is DEAD. His ass went to the Halls of Mandos, meaning he would be INCAPABLE of being in Middle-earth to possess the corpse of a dead Gondorian Ranger.

I love the part where it’s established up, down, and sideways throughout the Lore that ghosts and spirits that linger in the world after death are INVARIABLY, ALWAYS, NO EXCEPTION ***EVIL***. Oh, except for the wraith of that Elf which is POSSESSING A DEAD MAN.

Because it’s not like the first game already took a big steaming shit all over the Lore.

Actually, the character she’s playing DOES use Caucasian bodies in the original source material.

Of course, all of this ignores the fact that in the original manga and anime, the character she’s playing DOES use Caucasian bodies most of the time. So Scarlett is a perfectly appropriate casting choice.

Ah, I never got into the “social” servers, just wasn’t my thing.

Yeah, I’ve played on a few NWN2 PWs, and it helps when you can “Fade to Black” and skimp over the details.

The sad thing is Trump was the best the Republican Party had to offer.
