I mean you read his letters and it becomes abundantly clear he was on a downward trajectory even before Fear and Loathing made him a big deal.

This would have to either be embellished or depressing.

There are plenty of volumes of no-longer-canonical extended universe books out there for you at least.

The trailer for E8 strongly suggests Kylo blows up her ship in his off-brand Tie fighter.

It’s rather morbid to tease something like that.

The lesser Hemsworth brother managed to convert a flamboyantly bisexual woman just last year.

So if that is her orientation it’ll probably adjust itself soon enough regardless.

It’s unfortunate that he’s was so taboo in that political climate that his one attempt at a young adult novel - which was actually really good, nothing mindblowing but immaculate for what it was as opposed to his more grandiose works which always have some kind of fatal flaw involved - was completely overlooked.

Well there you go then.

They learned from the best!

COMIC SPOILERS DONT YOU MISS SPOILER TAGS

If they follow canon the dream is a premonition and Rick endures something near the end that ages him rapidly.

I mean, in Kings world thats Maine in general.

Can’t believe it occurred to me just now after thirty years that he’s basically doing Lovecraft in a adjacent state.

This thread wouldn’t be complete with or without them.

Back when a was a Marvel fanboy reading these books I put together all these pieces before most anybody. Pity the Stephan King Cinematic Universe appears to have stumbled at it’s tentative beginning, there’s potential to actually surpass the source material that all the best franchises arguably have.

Remember Eyes Of…

Au contraire mon frère.

Like I said, it certainly played a role in opiates becoming the leading cause of death among people under fifty. But I spend a lot of time with people half my age - Afgan powder is as availible and fashionable as marijuana was back in my day.

I just find it hard to believe that Afghan heroin is on the rise in the US no matter what state say.

Well, experts who can put together coherent sentences are in disagreement. And it seems really unlikely the US would misdirect the world into believing it’s facilitating trafficking by way of military occupation.

You’ll be hard pressed to find a declared US conflict that didn’t turn out to be deliberately manufactured in hindsight or at least invite skepticism. The gulf of Tonkin incident, the Maine or the Lusitania - even back at the start John Adams himself was arguing in court that the redcoats were getting framed in Boston.

My suggestion was that Hunt was likely playing a game of his own trying to exert influance beyond the grave. He wasn’t taking orders from anyone at that point.

Little agreement = Disinformation

The isolation was more calculated than that. Feel free to read the book.

I did refer to Hunt’s confession as disinformation, you know.

The exit wound being incongruous with Oswald’s position is nothing if not clear and simple, as was his isolation prior to being silenced.

One of the things I found most crippling about the book is how it seemingly paints almost everyone around him at odds with what he really wanted to do, and that simply wasn’t the case.

As I acknowledged, popular imagination has played as much of a role in obscuring the truth as deliberate disinformation. And one cannot deny that there has been a good deal of that disseminated from the highest levels of power - Hunt’s deathbed confessional comes to mind, among many other things.

There are a number of…

Jesus. I do hope you’re getting paid for this sort of thing.

For all that sheer volume you aren’t addressing the primary issues of the contrary accounts and mortality rates of witnesses or the adversarial relationship he ultimately had with the state department and CIA, along with the men he initially “chose to…

That’s one way to look at it - another would be that there was a botched attempt to create the illusion of Soviet involvement which was aborted when evidence came to light that Oswald was in the big easy when he was supposedly visiting the Soviet embassy in Texas. Seems rather extraordinary I know, but not as…
