That is a very long way of saying that Marvel only made Kamala a mutant because Fox owned the X-themed licensing rights*. Once the rights reverted, it was obvious she was going to get shuffled over to the far more interesting corner of the Marvel universe.

Kamala went from being the most popular and visible Inhuman character (low bar, but still) to being on the fast track to only showing up in the background of scenes in B-team X-books like New Mutants

The death was rubbish.

It’s 10 steps backwards.

holy cow, yup, over 1500 suppliers for this f35. Its like I make a screw, you make a bolt and lets see if it fits or have the same quality..

They still use parts from 50 companies these days ? They used to do that in the olden days to keep things a secret and found out things don’t fit..

You eject in the middle of nowhere, and are lucky enough to land where you can find a house or business, with phone lines that are not secure.  Of course you call 911, because trying to reach someone on an AF base adds lots of time to the process.  As an ambulance dispatcher, I was taught to remind people to always…

In my part of the country, 911 operators are badly overpaid with mandatory very long hours since they can’t get enough staff, and it’s likely that they are poorly trained as well. I dispatched for a volunteer ambulance corp with ‘standardized’ training, and there were odd gaps in that training (years earlier I was…

Marine aircraft, Marine pilot.

What on earth are you talking about. The ambulance was not for the aircraft, but rather for the pilot - who is a human being and not some fucking piece of classified technology.

How bad was the failure that he felt the need to eject

We may find out from prelimiary accident report whenever it’s released (or leaked which then turns into another investigation on the snitch like when that other F-35 hit the back of the boat).

Man I miss when AV Club would actually do the worst costume round ups instead of just being paid to shill for whatever.  This sort of thing used to get roasted, now I’m being told “Hell yeah, go buy a bunch of White Castle, dress as a White Castle billboard, and head to a party to shill some White Castle.  Thank God I…

I’ll never understand why people pay money to advertise for corporations. It’s like volunteering at Wal-Mart.

“The roots of these trees often showed an impaired ability to photosynthesize...”

Roots photosynthesize? I thought that was the leaf’s job.

it sure was the “most Star Wars” this show has ever been, because there was barely a lick of original thought to it. i’m sorry, but Tennant-droid saying “a long time ago...” took me right out of it because i pulled a muscle rolling my eyes. and i must again point out that a show called “Ahsoka” featured Ahsoka for…

What is the Fox legacy exactly...is this just code for this film being chock full of redundant cameos...

If you haven’t read Michael Piller’s Fade In, about the many, many, many travails of writing this movie and getting it to the screen, do yourself a favor and track it down (it’s unpublished, but easy to find online).

Yikes... I love Frakes and I trust him, but I felt like Disco finally grew up in the 4th season. The story ended up being all about going to strange new worlds, seeking out new life and new civilizations, solving a problem with brains instead of pew pew... it’s going to be a bummer if we roll all that progress back.

It’s Tuesday, time for another Costco Stan article on The Takeout!
