I feel like a lot of the retcons or moves in the Dawn of X books have been in service of forcing them to find new directions. Like the fact that mutants can’t REALLY die anymore means you can’t pull a shock death out of your hat (hell, they killed Xavier as a first beat and then treated it like a routine thing to fix i

I had completely forgotten Lube Man even existed until just now. Even in memory, he’s a slippery character.

$60 for 3 action figures. I wish the price was as retro as the costumes!

I think that image is from an actual event that happened in the early 2000s, not concept art from a possible movie:

Maybe I misread Extermination #5, but I thought the idea was that the present adult X-Men retained the memories of the Original 5's adventures, even if the Original 5's memories were wiped back in the past so they could continue their normal track. So Iceman should still be gay in the present? Yeah?

John Mulaney is one of the more popular standups out there today. If you haven’t heard of him, that might speak more to your lack of pop culture awareness than a lack of fame on his part? Not that you have to know every standup that’s ever existed, just feels like one of those weird “if I don’t know it, it doesn’t

The car chase through the city and the kitchen fight both felt like they better utilized all the “fun with being big and small” tricks than the first one.  But that’s just me!  

This could finally be the fulfillment of the “it’s all connected” promise that Agents of SHIELD was originally sold on!  Not that that’s an indicator of quality or whatever by itself, but it’d be cool to see a real attempt at a shared movie/TV universe.

AT&T seems to be doing the same sorta deal for the new iPhones...buy one, get $700 off a second.

I assume they’re just throwing everything at the wall to see what sticks, because wasn’t Sterling K Brown in it for like 5 minutes total? The strongest contenders here feel like costume design, cinematography and “All the Stars,” because the soundtrack had the added cultural cache of Kendrick Lamar that might push it

The point that he’s overplaying wokeness is fair, but he was famous long before the Janet Jackson incident.

You know what a good excuse would be to bring together all the “dads” again? A funeral! You might be on to something.

I like Bendis’ writing. He’s good at engaging and responding to fans online and is always willing to give advice to aspiring creators. I think he’ll do interesting things in the DCU.

Take this story, swap Jubilee for some of the New Mutants, and boom: scariest movie ever.

I regularly dream about the good ole days of Toy Commander on Dreamcast.

The Inateck Transmitter deal...I just tried to snag it on Amazon, but it was saying the promo code has expired. Is there a different one or is that just dead?

I liked Uncanny #600, I just hate that I went from that right into Extraordinary #1...as a big Cyclops fan, it was like “hey, he might finally get to be respected again among the other X-Men”...and then in Extraordinary, it was right back to “what Scott did” talk. CHEAP SHOT, MARVEL.

Ah, see I was just tapping the left side of the touch pad and was getting super frustrated that it was the party menu instead of the normal Pause menu like in the main game. Didn’t even think to just hold it down longer. BACK IN BUSINESS, thanks!

I have the dumbest of complaints about it, which is that I couldn’t figure out how to get back to the main game once I was in MGO. Like I was running around in my “base” area and I swear there wasn’t a way to hop a chopper or whatever and get back to it. I had to close the game fully and restart. And I couldn’t find

Is that the Regal City North? I spotted the new Star Wars pod the other day and I wanted to try it, but it was like 30 credits or some weird thing and I couldn’t figure out how many $$$ that translated to.
