Given how many different doodads are typically built into Iron Man suits, I’d presume he’d be both. Probably also have an atlatl (Stark-tech is always way ahead of its time, after all).

Cripes, that’s shitty. Are they saying it was some sort of fever dream that didn’t really happen, or are they saying that Sam Wilson canonically ensured that Steve Rogers would be worthy of the Cap mantle (until Kobik screwed him up anyway), and then also engineered his own ascension to the title, despite the whole…

Don’t bet on it. The money is mostly for bragging rights. It’s not about cash for him - and avoiding prison would be a necessary component, but also insufficient. He needs to feel like people think he’s important and accomplished, and being forced out of office, even with bribery, doesn’t lend itself to spinning…

I think Spaceman’s post was meant to suggest that no second season was planned, but that the audience retention for the second episode (which I guess aired this past weekend on their internet channel thing?) was unexpectedly high, so now they’re scrambling to put one together. Since I’m betting most of the first…

So the only part I’m actually curious about is the Infinity Stone - which one has he got? Have they said?

I’ve actually gotten more use out of the Steam Link I got last year in this mode than to play games on my TV (a lot of the games I’d like to play this way are optimized for play on a PC monitor, with uncomfortably small text on a TV) - I’ve used it to play quite a bit of downloaded movies and TV that aren’t encoded in…

Given how reliable the resurrections are now, I’m pretty sure you’re mistaken - no one takes the deaths seriously anymore, and any writer that pulls out the “major character dies!” card is generally mocked. Whoever eventually brings them back is just viewed with tired skepticism.

Yeah, I think the last time we had that was in the early to mid 90s. It was referenced, of course, but she wasn’t possessed by it for at least 5 or 6 years.

I can’t believe Marvel has been using the Phoenix concept actively for 30 years and this is the first time they’ve called a storyline featuring it/her “Resurrection.”

You ask that question like it’s a big deal. Kaine has died, what, 5 times since he was introduced? It may be more, I’ve lost track.

By the definitions of Dune (a ghola being a clone made from the cells of a dead body, rather than a living organism - it has nothing to do with whether the original life form’s memories are restored in the duplicate), yes, all except the original cloning from Peter Parker (who was alive when the cell samples were…

No Nick. I’ve read the plot synopses. I’ve seen the suit photos.

Both are (or, at least have been), separately. Omega is apparently a big deal in Hungary:

Ngozi, a girl living in Lagos who loves running, Bruce Lee, and the Black Panther.

I’m mostly disappointed that someone wasted a title like “Strangers In a Strange Land” on a cheapo porn game. They could’ve at least made something that references Heinlein. Could’ve even been inspired by some of his stories while still making a sex game - Heinlein had quite a lot of it in his books (especially Strange…

I gotta say, as slimy as the IOC and FIFA can be, they’re not even in the running for “most corrupt, evil fuckers on the planet”

Those are honestly pretty divorced from real violence - that’s like saying running a marathon is related to combat because the first one was run to get word out about an invasion.

Well, the subject matter of an awful lot of video games does involves violence of one form or another, and for a lot of them, it’s lethal violence - that’s particularly true of the kinds of games that work well as “esport” titles - competitive games tend to be violent, even if it’s cartoonish violence. For every Flower…

as AIs become smarter and smarter, we should expect to see them become friendlier and friendlier.

The original reason it’s called a “singularity” is because it’s a figurative black hole: there is absolutely no way to predict with any measure of certainty what’s on the other side - everything about a post-Singularity world is purely speculative, and vastly outside our normal frame of reference.
