Honestly, about 80-90% of the people playing this game would have NO IDEA WHATSOEVER who Pauline is (even *I* barely remembered the character, and I grew up in the 80s).

“and the true power of the Master Sword awakens.”

So sick of this glorified Call of Duty reskin. I’m still waiting for an ACTUAL X-Wing game.

So what if it’s not across the entire line? It’s STILL an event.

Death of X and Inhumans vs. X-Men both released before Civil War II even finished (partly because Bendis can’t get shit done on time, and inserted an extra issue of padding on top of that). DoX #4 released November 23rd, and IvX #0 was released the following week. Civil War II didn’t wrap up until December.

By not having my head up my ass like you, and actually engaging with other readers.

Marvel’s problems can be chalked up to:

You know how many of that were built? None. Zip. Zero. Zilch. Not as a full-sized mockup, and certainly not a prototype.

Carrier-borne aircraft have RADICALLY different requirements from land-based machines. You simply can’t take the F-22, throw it on a carrier, and call it a day.

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.
