On brand for the subject matter as it were?

Right?  Guy seems like an insufferable prick.

It’s implied. But you can play on my lawn all you want, it’s basically just a weedy beach anyway.

It’s nuts, man. Full-on personality and archetype at this point, because “THEY” might feel uncomfortable for a few passing seconds. You could beat their skulls in with a shovel, and the quivering brain fragments would laugh at you in unison. Just fucking GONE.

Oh man this thread almost feels like old AV Club

“Do Not Ask Again For 7 Days” is the biggest lie of at least the past decade.

Honestly it might have been during the surgery and the effects were still going. I do not have a super clear memory of the timeline, for obvious reasons. Whatever the case, “scary perceptual side effects” sounds like a pretty accurate description of what I was going through.

The funny part of that whole “family won’t speak to him” thing is that both parties are supposed to be good Christian people. This is the point most people note that Rodgers is not married and has only had celebrity girlfriends that could very well be beards. He has had the whiff of brimstone around him for quite a…

Yeah, pretty sure *I* starred you there.

I starred you, just because.
:^)

As a Packers fan, it’s been bizarre to watch Rodgers go down the tinfoil hat rabbit hole over the past few years. He was always measured in what he said, which I always took as him trying to sound smarter than he actually was. But now I wonder what crazy he was careful not to say, because he has no problem saying it…

Lots of relatively benign, somewhat crunchy, nominally centrist types took hard right turns during the pandemic. It broke a bunch of brains.

No, that’s my point. I remember an extended interview with him from 5-7 years ago that touched on a ton of subjects. It might have been Pete Holmes’ podcast?

It's "going to bullfights on acid," dammit!

Many years ago in a convention J Michael Starzinkski, the guy who created Babylon 5, was asked how fast a Starfury, a space fighter from that show, could travel. His response was that it goes at the speed of plot.

Don’t look to comics for logic or internal consistency. Sometimes, Batman can hold his own against Superman.

Sometimes, Batman gets his ass handed to him by a guy who’s really good with kites.

So the major publishers will occasionally publish guidebooks that attempt to quantify “these are the specific superpowers that this character has” or “this is the official ranking of the 10 strongest superheroes in our universe, including how large of a difference in strength there is between #1 and #2, #2 and #3,…

No. It doesn’t mean anything. Superheroes are as strong as the writer needs them to be to work in their story. And the moniker of the “one of the most powerful” are as prescient as marketing needs them to be.

there are “street level” heroes, like Luke Cage, Daredevil, etc. That is where Echo belongs. I was unaware of her Phoenix powers, which sound ridiculous. “We don’t know what to do with this character. I know! Give her Phoenix powers!”
