Sort of.

When they originally announced Blades, they talked about how it came out of R&D into cross-platform gaming. They described a game where someone could be sat at work on their cell phone, playing against someone at home on their PC. It is coming to Switch because that’s the point. That’s why the game is free, that’s why…

That was my kneejerk reaction as well. The helmet is a little different, though: it seems to be all one piece (rather than a hat and a mask), and Seventh Sister didn’t have a glowing red eyepiece. She also appears to have a standard double-bladed lightsaber rather than the helicopter kind.

Something I realised a while back, and now can’t unsee... did you ever see the Lost in Space movie, with Gary Oldman and Matt le Blanc? There’s a scene in that where Space Joey activates a tactical helmet that swooshes up from nowhere to completely cover his face. It’s one of a few memorable moments from an otherwise…

If anything, the coven’s ritual cannibalism and practice of signing their names in the Devil’s book are more akin to the rhetoric of witch hunters in early modern Europe

I use these!

I use these!

You could always go with the Jason Todd approach: let Batman catch you trying to jack his tires, and he’ll make you his new sidekick.

That’s the problem with the way the legal system “works”. It is a giant network of “If they can do it, so can I,” which creates all manner of loopholes. It is the difference between what is “right” and what is “correct”, which is an unfortunate byproduct of trying to force an objective approach (the law) to something…

Counterpoint: what if the time loop doesn’t get broken?

TBH, he’s closer to (classic comic book) Oliver Queen in real life than he gets to be on the show. They’re trying to steer towards it the last season or so, but they swapped out a few important Oliver Queen fundamentals for Batman ones back at the beginning, and the result is like using quorn instead of meat in a…

He feels a lot more like Plastic Man, who essentially has the same powers. Former crook, similar attitude, similar humour, etc. The Arrowverse has a habit of adapting Character B because they weren’t allowed to use Character A (see: Ray Palmer building an exosuit at first, because they weren’t allowed to use Blue…

I think the issue here is not that Wizards of the Coast is choosing not to be inventive and different, but rather that this is a guided campaign that takes place in the Forgotten Realms setting, and they feel beholden to work within the parameters of what was there before. They aren’t trying to reinvent the wheel,…

What about it is exactly the same? The article says that they proposed on the same continent - as in Africa. They didn’t propose in the same country. We don’t know any of the specifics beyond that either, because they (understandably) did it somewhere private, away from prying eyes.

The fact that you think of him as a singer is kind of a pro, though? Genie’s songs tend to feature big spoken/rapped sections... finding a well known actor who can pull that off, with a recognizable voice that’s clearly distinct from Robin Williams, and whose ethnicity is different enough from the main cast that you…

That’s the thing, though: they don’t want to replicate Williams’ performance, they want to be as different to it as possible. Will Smith’s voice is recognizable, and it’s recognizably different from Williams. Yeah, the Genie is whimsical at times, but he’s also sassy, confrontational, and loud - all things that Will…

I don’t think it’s that they’ve cast “a black man” necessarily. He’s a known name, his voice is recognizable, he’s known for comedy roles and for music (a lot of Genie’s songs have rap-esque sections), and he’s “different enough” that it won’t feel like someone trying to copy/mimic Robin Williams. He’s not necessarily…

The tricky thing with Miles Morales is that his origin story involves Peter Parker having been Spider-Man. Using Miles would be easy in a self-contained Sony movie, but Marvel Studios has a bigger picture to worry about.

That’s where blaming Congress for everything comes in.

That’s something that I (as a Brit) find both frustrating and fascinating. America is adamant that it is not a Christian nation... except that it’s one nation under God - in whom you trust - where everyone gets sworn in on the Bible.

I don’t think it matters what you swear the oath over.
