Remember, she’s one of Apocolypse’s four horsemen in this film, and he has the ability to augument mutants’ power far beyond what they can manage on their own. What she could only manifest psychically normally might take actual physical form when so boosted.

Miller doesn’t die on Eros. He gets shot, and he and Holden get exposed to enough radiation that they’ll be on anti-cancer meds for the rest of their lives, but all the Roci crew make it out.

Great, thanks!

I *so* want a framed version of this!

Plus if you’re ghostly pale like me, you’d probably still need sunscreen given the sun reflecting everywhere. Although I would happily visit this snowball world for long stretches of time.

I wish could allow substitutes for juries, so the wealth could be shared!

Also, she is right about it being an honor to serve on a jury. I know it’s not convenient to be called

There’d be fist fights here in DC. I shudder to think of what would happen in my native NYC.

It makes sense if you think in terms of fully utilizing all available space on an escalator.

It had quite a lot to do with colonialism actually, as various European powers had been ruthlessly competing to expand or create (in the case of late-to-the-game Germany, and Italy to extent) their empires. This rivalry, as well as greed/fear of being left behind provided much of the groundwork for the war that…

I have to admit, my replica wand is McGonagall’s (because she is a super badass), but I get it.

My cousin and her both have strong Irish ancestry; his (and hers post-marriage) last name is one of the clearly O’Irish ones.

Well keep in mind that the collective Overmind assigned them this mid-wife task. They didn’t choose it on their own.

I am increasingly impressed with the show’s Supergirl. No, not that one (although she’s great too!), I’m talking about the *other* one, namely Alex. She has no superpowers, and the limelight is undestandably on her sister. Yet episode after episode, Alex is there calmly assessing situations, coming up with strategies…

Can I just say how impressed I am with Alex? For a normal human, she’s smart, resourceful, and capable of going up against super-powered threats solo.

For a few years in the mid-’70s, my family lived in the Pittsburgh suburbs while my father worked downtown. I went into the city several times, and I learned to identify his office building among the other skyscrapers.

It would likely be the same sort of tempest, just on a much bigger scale. And if it worked, you might just get people reconsidering how they see Wonder Woman (and add some diversity to DC’s lineup).

People wouldn’t say it out loud, and they probably wouldn’t think it explicitly for the most part either, but many of them would find it to be jarring.

Understood, but the decision by DC to not make all three of their Holy Trinity black-haired, blue-eye Caucasians could actually work in their favor. And given the Greek origins of the Amazons, it would make sense for Themyscira to be located in the Mediterranean where all sorts of women from the region around that sea…

I’d go with a different Gina.
