I disagree that undoing the deaths robs the franchise of stakes. On the contrary, we’ve seen what those stakes are, so it makes it all the more important that the Avengers win this time. It doesn’t diminish the impact of those deaths either, it is still a powerful emotional blow that will drive everything that comes

Solo was fine.

Yeah that sounds like a reasonable theory. I wonder if they’ll actually warn Xandar and have them power up Rhomann Dey with the power stone to protect the planet and sow the seeds for a Nova movie.

Ever since Age of Ultron came out, I’ve been waiting for Wanda to get her hands on the Reality Stone. Her powers already seem very reminiscent of the Aether (her movements are fluid, the CGI is similar, etc), and altering reality is definitely on brand with Wanda Maximoff. Putting the Reality Stone into Wanda’s hands,

Her previous attempt at living a “normal” life with the Vision—which involved her conjuring up twin boys borne from a piece of a demon’s soul”

The Ken Starr investigation... that fucking Brett Kavanaugh fucking worked on!!!

I think what you might be missing is that the idea in both cases is to hurt women. Alleged sexual abuse victims are to be believed when they can be used to hurt a woman (Hillary Clinton) but are to disbelieved when they might hurt a man (Brett Kavanaugh).

That’s because there can be only one.  

Omg, with all the shit of the last 2+ years, I had totally forgotten that stunt he pulled with those women during his campaign.

... the difference between those men and Brett Kavanaugh

It’s interesting that you bring up Bill Clinton, nobody wants to hear those accusers’ voices be heard. But you’re certainly happy to hear all the others.

Kakistocracy is close enough.

I’m sure dogs everywhere would love to pretend her brothers didn’t happen either.

I understand how she feels. I’d love to pretend that Sarah Huckabee Sanders never happened. 

Maybe it doesn’t quit fit the theme, but sad not to see any reference to the Amalgam Universe.

During which song? I'll guess Mid-Life Crisis.

For my money, nothing was more infamous than the issue where Bobby Drake dosed Scott Summers’ water with acid while he chaperoned the Blue Team at a Faith No More concert, and Scott ended up flipping out.

Why, so they can be told how they’re overreacting and being unfair? So they can be gaslit by CK stans? You’ve seen what happens when women speak out about being sexually assaulted by men, yes? Why the fuck would they risk that shit over expressing a negative opinion about a highly popular mal public figure?

I think it would be much more effective if decent, conscientious audience members simply walked off and left the room in droves as soon as Louis CK appeared, because it would make it clear that it wasn’t just a single business owner that objected to his presence but a large number of the comic club attending public.
