Wow, I forgot just how much he was in Xena! (Seriously though, never seen him in a role I didn’t enjoy him in.)

Having lived through the 80s I respectfully submit you are wrong in one regard. Yes this is not “political correctness” but the term originates in the 1930s, rose to common usage in the 70s and came to fall into its current usage in the 1980s. (The first book dedicated on the matter was published in 1987.) It was very…

This is not political correctness, that’s a very specific term. This is called being a kill joy which is something different. Please try not to politicise something that’s not political (it’s just dumbassery).

Having met people who worked for WWE all the way back to when it was WWF this does not shock me. Vince’s lawyer said it best “exploitation”. That’s what they do, they treat their talent like garbage and exploit them until, in some cases, they die. It’s really messed up. The McMahon family are really gross and I hope,…

I quit mainstream comics back in the 90s during Age of Apocalypse, there were so many event comics and so many short run one shots or revamps that I got burnt out. I’ve been trying to get back into it via digital form but it’s feeling the same way. There doesn’t feel like there’s a cohesion to the universe any more.…

No they’ll end at the end of book 6 while books 7 through 9 are really a sequel and a distinct story so they can be left off without impacting the story of the first six books.

Has Georgia and her dad Peter been in it yet? A real Doctor Who family jamboree.

Well, time will tell, here’s hoping it’s a satisfying conclusion. You’ll have to forgive me as I’m running low in hope lately.

Honestly I saw this in the first four issues and I was of the opinion I did not like what he was serving. Xavier’s flaws in the past were largely an issue of the era in which he was written, the child soldier aspect with the original second X-Men team lineup wasn’t really understood at the time. The entire medical…

So... he went full Venture Brother then. It was bound to happen sooner or later.

Let’s be fair, when you deconstruct even classic Xavier there’s a firm “are we the baddies” element to him. Aside from using child soldiers after his first team gets killed there’s also the element of Legion and the ethical breaches that encompassed. What redeemed them was the underlying message of inclusivity and…

Hey if the US was cool with Project Paper Clip why not the new Mutant nation? /s

One of the things I find... uncomfortable about the new X-Men reality is Charles’ apparent cruelty. Unlike the real life examples this was a child who was differently powered and was entirely unaware. The way he discards him in a single monologue is kind of heartless. Meanwhile when Kitty died he fought and fought to…

Thanks, so yeah, could cut either way. I really want to see the story where they search for Ezra. It’d be cool if he’s in the show because that means they could introduce Thrawn as a big bad. I want season 3 to be Thrawn vs. The Mandalorians soooooo bad. He has a grudge, they helped make things go so bad for him during…

Those giant projects were set in motion by Sheev before he died. In several comics and trans-media productions it states he had assets in the Unknown Regions. In the Lando comics it shows he was shipping Dark Side artefacts off planet to the Unknown Regions (presumably his creche where his clone is). Unfortunately we…

So the First Order are the Proud Boys of Space? I wonder if they beat each other while naming Space Cereal as part of the new Storm Trooper initiation program? (Also, some of this is addressed in the books.)

In the timeline no it doesn’t it’s coalescing in the Unknown Regions and wont be a proper force for a little while yet.

I don’t really feel we can blame the Outer Rim so much given they were never really a part of the Republic. They were essentially left to rot under the thrall of industrialists and crime syndicates. They weren’t abandoned by the Republic they were never cared for by the Republic (and the Jedi frequently found…

Question, I’m still trying to get the timeline down, does this happen before or after the end of Rebels. If it happens after then we may see Ezra, if it happens before then we know she’s going to get through this okay.

You are telling me he had no control over public health policy? He had no control over the way funding was spent to fight diseases at the federal level? He had no control over public health education? Nancy was busy appearing on Different Strokes to talk about how drugs are bad, he couldn’t dedicate a sliver of that…
