Forgive my confusion. Is the glut of IIIs, now unsellable, just a big miscalculation by manufacturers of how quickly cars would get sold?

I don’t think that’s the message they intend, but it’s fair to say it’s the message some people are receiving.

The regulators work?

I have eight episodes of Legends saved up. I watched to the big crossover and it hasn’t made it off the bench since. I kind of wonder if they moved it earlier in the week after The Flash because its ratings suggested weekly superhero fatigue. I certainly noticed the least-compelling show was last.

Changes of clothing are how we tell who the regular people are. Superheroes and supervillains have costumes. :)

Almost anyone with powers is introduced doing evil. You can’t really do a villain-of-the-week show and indulge a lot of moral gray area for villains. Can’t really have a rogue’s gallery if the introduced metas are evenly distributed across the good-evil spectrum. And people love the themes of “power corrupts” and…

I worry that audiences will see this as a Guardians rip-off, and one that’s not funny-weird but just weird-weird. I’m sure this only got made because Guardians happened, but I fear it would have done better if Guardians — and Jupiter — hadn’t happened.

I don’t know, all of those things sound like standard fare for a romance novel, or young adult fiction aimed at girls before it was widely acknowledged that they might like to be empowered on their own and not through a savior-prince.

Depends on how certain the seller is that they’ll get nothing for it later.

There’s generous and then there’s predatory. And consider the percentage of these subprime loans that are not buying a manufactured good but are paying for money. How fucked up is our economy, for the people participating in it, if a large chunk of their money is spent on money?

Something everyone here seems to forget? Did you really think I’d forgotten it? Should I conclude that you’re forgetting that enthusiasts who want a nimble RWD sports car don’t consider a tall AWD sedan equivalent? Or are you casting aspersion on people who want more power by implying they’re fixated on the number of…

So your experience is such an infinitesimally small part of their total usage that calling it anecdotal is generous. You get that’s why I’m making lighthearted fun of your statement, right? Yeah, it’s probably true that most people mostly don’t use the capabilities they say they had to have, but occasionally the…

I’m pretty sure the stupidity of the photos is why she posts them.

That’s likely a bonus for getting Opel into financial shape such that it’s attractive to a buyer.

It’s not funny when you know how much they make selling loans.

The India seems like either poor communication — the government wrote one thing but meant another, and manufacturers truly didn’t know that not only would they be unable to build IIIs beyond April 1, but dealers would be unable to sell them — OR, manufacturers counting on the government blinking, i.e. they knew IIIs…

How do you prevent giving those loans? Even if you could get a law passed that further regulates car loans — say, forbid underwater loans — car dealers would start packaging personal loans for the difference, or push home equity loans.

You can’t count the number of times someone’s asked you for a cheap car and ended up with something expensive because they “needed” room and wanted a sunroof, yet you know there’s never more than one person in it, never any cargo, and 99% of the time the sunroof is closed?

Sometimes it’s like Jalopnik staff don’t read their own headlines (never mind articles):

Never, because they’re a sham. But even if they weren’t...
