“Hi, I’m Nick Fury. Now, you might not have heard of me, but that’s primarily because I’m a spy. I’ve kept my identity secret through four alien invasions, one of which the general public never even found out about, as well as multiple wars, the takeover of American intelligence by ex-Nazis, the destruction of an…

“But people really care about the truth and will believe it when facts are presented!”

Agreed. We already live in a world with too much of our population disbelieving in actual facts and proof. It's not a stretch for people to think Spiderman a menace despite much evidence to the contrary. As Beck said, "people will believe anything"

That seems logical, but given the whole movie was a commentary on #fakenews and that people don’t logic any more (since the rise of birtherism, at least) that wouldn’t be convincing to everyone.

It would be an okay look if it’s revealed that the rest of the Skrulls are also terrible (or there’s also a group of Skrull extremists out there), and Talos’ group was a good bunch, who now have to fight alongside the humans against the evil Skrulls.

Minor pushback - the paper guys making fun of their young intern is one thing for establishing the fact that everyone is playing to 80s stereotypes. Mike not apologizing is a tenth grader not knowing how to be a good boyfriend. But the absolutely terrible lines between Hopper and Joyce (and between Jonathan and Nancy),…

Yeah, “Girls are like, another species, man!” is exactly the kind of WAY profound thing a middle school boy would say.

Mental Health issues and how much of an impact they have in people lives seems to be a major blind spot for way too many Kinja writers

“We have to talk about Bruce. What is the point of Bruce? What, one might ask, use is Bruce? He has no personality beyond “loud, crude, and insulting,” and now that he’s in the command of the Mind Flayer, he need never have a personality again. So why does he exist? Why bother to have Jake Busey play this braying,…

“Hey! Capitalist American pig-dogs! Look over thereski!”

Other players are angry that the Drifter NPC threat is interfering with actual players making war on one another.

it’s kinda 2010 fratty isnt it?

Another guess. The game is starting to stagnate in terms of political power. The rise of Player based super powers is really limiting the the number of battles being fought. Mind, there are still a ton of fights, but it is BEGINNING to slow down.

Some people have called for server reset, but that would be a drastic…

God I love reading about Eve. It’s got the best story of any MMO, ever, because everything about the game is real and impactful. What a masterpiece.... That I will never play.

There’s a bunch of jock bro types over at the Eve office, coding department...

Think you’re right on the money there. Initial ships were scouts, what’s happening now is the actual beginning of an invasion proper. 

That was my general thought, though the tricky aspect is that invasion usually indicates an external force, whereas it seems the Drifters have just been hanging around in the normal game space for a while. Then again, I could see it being that the Drifter ships previously seen were just scouts, and this attack is the…

This. I love reading about EVE and it sounds super-interesting, but it also sounds like a huge investment of time, which I simply don’t have. I eagerly await the day I retire so I can finally pick it up.

Little do EVE players know that their game actually exists as a layer in a 4X game, and CCP is finally reaping the consequences of years of ignoring researching Diplomacy upgrades. 

This game is really interesting to watch from afar but I can’t even remotely seeing myself having the time or energy to keep up with everything required to understand and actively participate in.  Perhaps pre-parenthood I would have gone at it with gusto.
