They sold the script to Warner along with Assassins and Bound. In 1994. 1 year after Lee died. He was never considered for that role.

Add in American exceptionalism and a penchant for smug contrarianism among a certain dumber-than-they-think population and what do you get

My understanding is that the T’au were retconned into a more nebulously moral group after players complained that they were too unambiguously good for 40K. I guess alien space commies who don’t shoot first was just a bridge too far.

I mean, I know what you’re saying, but the Imperium gets the lion’s share of the mechanical attention, and more importantly, the promotional art for most of the franchise has the fascists look like this

We had less freedumb then. Now we have so much freedumb we might drown in it. To death.

In Oregon, this guy would be at risk of losing his medical license. In Florida, he gets put in charge of public health.

This man has done more schooling than most people. He is an actual doctor with bonafides. Having said that, he is an ignorant Coon with verbal diarrhea that will get more ignorant people killed with his nonsense because he is a doctor. He should have his certifications revoked once the evidence in a few months shows…

The drones were littered about everywhere after the battle for study.
Killmonger evidently only managed to wipe the murder of Stark footage.
