Because it makes his face look more skeletal and intimidating. He’s obsessed with death, he likes looking as much like a harbinger of the grave as he can.

Let me get this straight: Small businesspersons whose livelihood depends on selling comic books say that Marvel has pivoted away from the core audience to chase a new demographic and it’s costing them sales, and that makes them “assholes”? How dare they want to stay in business and make money! Didn’t anyone tell them…

You mean Lucas couldn’t be bothered to get real Banthas and just dressed up elephants in costumes instead? That’s lazy as hell, especially after going to all the trouble of filming on location on Tatooine.

Umm, what the fuck are you talking about? There was no Death Star in Empire Strikes Back, and in Return of the Jedi the Rebels did not have nor did they need detailed plans. All they needed to know was that there were massive open sections of half-constructed superstructure they could fly small craft through and hit…

If you’re running a combustion engine of some sort, yeah. Star Wars vessels run on reactors and there’s plenty of mass they can use in them just by picking up hydrogen and space dust and such.

I wonder how many times he was tempted just to motorboat those things while thinking of redheads...

This is not merely assassinating the characters, it’s setting them on fire before they’re completely dead and then pissing on the corpses.

That is fucking stupid as hell. Luke in the OT was YOUNG. He was maybe 18 in the first film, absolutely a late teenager wanting to go off to college (the Academy) and begin adult life. When he goes with Kenobi, it’s the first time he’s ever left home. When we catch up to him at the beginning of ESB, he has had no Jedi…

Yep, all of this. Same thing is happening on the Star Trek side of things, the old fans being brutally and UNNECESSARILY thrown under the bus. There’s no reason for it, it’s not needed to destroy the old fanbase. All they had to do was tell good stories based on the old, but it seems they don’t know how to do that.…

WOW. That’s so intense, that final scene in the empty bedroom the loving couple is never coming home to, with their picture on the wall of a happier moment never to be repeated... ouch. Right in the feels.

“We’d be instantly brainwashed to be unable to see that event”. Maybe so, after all if reality were to be reformatted it stands to reason we’d be reformatted along with it.

Which is an interesting answer to the proposition that time travel is impossible because we have never seen history be changed. Well, how would we…

The Wiccan Goddess is basically Mother Nature or Gaia. She is the sum of all life on Earth, and whether She created life or life created Her is something of a chicken and egg question.

That’s a theory with exactly the same amount of empirical evidence as any other, aka none whatsoever. It’s cool if you choose to think that, but be under no illusion that it’s any more valid than any other speculation and conjecture.

You can’t prove anything using a book alone. Everything written in that book could be entirely fictional, or much could be inaccurate or maybe there’s a few facts in it and a lot else that was made up or distorted. Where’s your evidence that the claims in the book are true, besides the book itself saying so?

And what? If we accept at face value that “the quest to discover if there is a God and what the true nature of that God is” is a vitally important thing, what then? How do we proceed on this quest? Surely it can’t be done by delving into mythology, because primitive people didn’t arrive at those concepts by…

What exactly is stupid about the alien panspermia theory? There’s nothing logically impossible about it or counter to the known laws of physics. We don’t have any particularly strong evidence that it happened here, no, but we don’t have any against it either.

Think about this. We, right now as relatively primitive we…

It’s effing stupid, is what it is. Blaming the heroes for the damage is like blaming your army for the damage caused in fighting off an invasion. If the people think that’s bad, how do you think they’d like it if the defenders never showed up? They’d be a hell of a lot worse off, and maybe they’d all be dead.

Take for…

Better yet, a more serious crossover with the Urban Dredd, playing on the contrast of two extremes. MC1 is fascist and resource-strapped and overpopulated to the point of being a hellish place to live, a conservative / libertarian nightmare of horrific inequality and brutal injustice, while MC2 is the opposite. It’s…

You forgot the part about radical feminists screaming “All heterosexual sex is rape, because the imbalance of power in the patriarchy means a woman can never truly give consent! Every expression of male sexuality of any kind is sexual harassment, which is defined so broadly that you might never know you committed the…
