It’s not the religion that makes you stupid; it’s the stupid that makes you stupid.

So...Blue Force Ghost Ashoka?

Don’t forget the security forces to make sure the folks sent to make a place for their masters don’t decide they should be the ones to profit from the fruit of their labors instead...

Unless, of course, the “off-world” colonies are even worse. In which it becomes a play to bleed off “excess” population.

I think there’s a “one green person per property” limit in the MCU. Drax, after all...

You say that, but if she throws that tiara, those spikes are going to mess someone up.

She moved to New York. She’s tougher than that. ;)

Can’t see the phone, but at least I can see the stupid boat.

Wait, “Ministry of Self-Reliance”? That sounds almost like a North Korean thing. Something’s up with that, I’m sure of it...

I suspect it’s going to be part of the ongoing theme. Like I say, I’m wanting to see more now to find out where this is going, and that’s the first time I’ve said that about anything in a good way for a long time now.

This clearly calls for heroes...to protect the world from devastation...

I dunno...as critical as I recently was and am of Marvel’s recent moves, in this case it actually seems to work. It feels so far like a rather dry satire, of West and East both and what happens when they meet. (I’m getting a “see what happens when you try to be something on someone else’s terms” vibe so far. I’ll be…

The irony of which is that they’ve been doing the exact opposite in the MCU. Which has basically been printing money for eight years now.

Not even an issue. I hated the whole Thunderstrike Thor thing (also note the “unworthy” ass-pull from an assinine crossover used on Odinson, I could go on...). Was never fond of John Walker!Cap. And both of those were without the predecessors getting retconned into Bad Person For Plot Purposes.

The multiplication of these various heroic legacies makes business sense as it broadens demographic appeal and seemingly suggests new directions for film adaptations as actors age or opt out of their roles.

As a poster whose avatar is an Elder Sign, I approve of this graphic.

The cast of Dallas circa 1980 says hi.

I know, I know, it’s just, after the whole Red Wedding fiasco...

[WARNING: Yeah I know but potential SPOILERS I can’t believe I have to do this for a 23 year old book but that’s how it rolls SPOILERS]

My prediction: Puns.
