this got real

Yeah, I didn't mean to say that Germany was blameless or anything - after all, they are the ones who invaded neutral Belgium and kicked the whole thing into hyperdrive. Rather that their fears of encirclement by the Entente, whether or not we think they were legitimate in hindsight, were real to them, dammit. They…

I feel the same way about Jean-Luc Picard. Sometimes it takes a fictional character to illuminate the best qualities real people can aspire to.

That's awesome! Bold to name a group of child detectives after an anarchist group indirectly responsible for tens of millions of deaths and the Iron Curtain, but I like it.

I miss the days when raps started with a polite introduction and statement of intent

Did you think the same thing watching the finale of Justice League Unlimited, when Superman punches Darkseid through an entire skyline?

The Black Hand does sound like a group of comic book villains.

I'm not sure it would matter. The US's contribution to the Entente was always more material than men - our actual fighting force was not significnat. The history of the war was written the moment the French 6th Army held outside Paris.

How close is Themyscira to civilization that a WW1-era airplane crashed right off it?

Yep, she is the Michael Jordan or Steve Jobs of foisting time shares on half-in-the-bag Midwesterners.

The game evolves. Both Goats and Threats are identified earlier and protected or eliminated earlier.

You answered your own question.

Yeah, it wasn't even bordering on "mean."

He must work there

Yeah, but neither is Age of Ultron for much lamer reasons. I'm more interested in the grotesque than the insipid.
