Palpatine is the name of the main bad guy in the Star Wars movies, a career politician who was secretly an evil Sith Lord. In the prequels we find out that he got himself elected to the leadership of the Galactic Republic by creating a series of false crises, and then created a clone army to deal with those crises,…

Interuniversal alien. Get it right, dammit.

It’s an anthology series, not a serialized show.

What If...is not about retconning or correcting, it’s literally just asking “hey what if this happened? Weird, right? Anyway, see ya next time.”

The episode doubled down on Killmonger being a villain because he IS A VILLAIN. They assume that anyone watching this has probably seen Black Panther and understands his motivations, and if not, they pretty clearly recap them here even if they don’t have time for a deep dive. (Side note - I’m most interested in the…

he arrives just outside the country’s forcefield with Klaue’s help before killing the South African for saying some boring, racist nonsense about Black people being savages. In a graceful gesture of diplomacy, Killmonger brings Klaue’s body to a group of Dora Milaje once he’s within the border,

This isn’t even weakened (live attenuated) like polio. It isn’t even a dead virus like flu. It’s just instructions to make a protein that occurs on the virus.

What If stops short, however, of really giving Killmonger a chance to make the case for his crusade—the episode ends up doubling down on framing him as a villain as it comes to a close, which is a curious choice.

No... I did.

“This argument is particularly weird for several reasons”

And yet some more who don’t want to be beta testers and are waiting for version 2.0

The answer to (2) is usually yes, as the U.S. government has sued John Does and Jane Roes in the past. I seem to recall that other online harassment, cyberstalking, and swatting have been prosecuted that way.  I would expect the answer to (1) to be “it depends on the Terms of Use” that users agree upon.

You have precisely illustrated my point. Your enlightened centrist view is that a few hundred to a few thousand children dying of a preventable disease is perfectly OK.

part of this case is that there are parents who's kids cannot wear masks due to health issues, and then there are parents suing who rightfully cite the open transmission that is happening because they've banned masks so 1 person in the whole school wearing a mask doesn't make a damn difference if the air is a soup of…

Unless, of course, you happen to be gay.

As a father of 3 very good girls, I appreciate your effort towards inclusivity. 

Even that wouldn’t have worked out, because there would still be a paradox. The way this timeline plays out, Christine’s death turns Strange into the Sorcerer Supreme and causes him to go back in time to change things. If he managed to arrange everything just so, and changed events so that they completely matched the…

After interacting with hundreds of dogs, I’m come to a shocking conclusion.

Especially that corgi in the first picture. Look into its eyes, it’s absolutely starving. Why, it looks at if it hadn’t eaten in hours.  

This was a super cool and interesting read -- educational distractions from work for the win!
