It never occurred to me before this occasion that it might be, but when it happened in this episode, it seemed to obviously involuntary, beyond her control. It was a bit terrifying.

It’s long been my personal contention that Rose was a fundamentally selfish individual, endlessly fascinated by the new, the novel. Embracing and encouraging things outside the established order was just a way to experience vicariously. She obsessed over humans because they’re constantly changing from the moment…

There’s actually an answer to this (which I admit you may be perfectly familiar with). And it’s simply that you’re not supposed to eat raw cookie dough that you can actually bake, because of the eggs I think. The “cookie dough” in ice cream can never be cookies. It lacks certain key elements that make it safely edible.

Seems to trace back to India? Honestly, I only have looked at his IMDB bio briefly. Though I cannot imagine how you read him as “white” amongst the other blindingly pale people in that picture.

It’s almost like this was a review for a version of this episode that was missing the “User” parts. They don’t get mentioned at all, despite taking up a fairly significant part of the runtime. They sabotaged any good will they might have generated by including this seemingly deliberately insulting caricature of a fan.…

You’d actually be wrong there. I mean, the first three are right enough, but number 4 is “vaguely nerdy non-white guy”. The comic relief-ish character would be “white robot girl”, I suppose.

As I recall, that particular costume element was meant for basically a single scene of Superman’s dead body being revived, part of a larger FX suite.

It made me wish they’d actually made the movie. They put all those horrible looking images we’d seen into proper context and it all came out seeming pretty cool.

Quite often I do, though more typically after than during.

I guess you and I are That One Weirdo in our respective theaters. I’ve always stayed for those same sort of reasons you listed, long before movies started regularly putting in post-credits scenes. I’ve had companions threaten to leave without me, and gotten stink eye from employees in a rush to clean the theater…

Then just imagine what you could do with a megaspleen, eh?

A para-military group equipped with uniquely super-powered technological “masks” (really more like helmets) that pilot ordinary-looking vehicles that transform into combat-ready alternate modes, including cars that fly, cars that are submarines, trucks that are tanks, and so on. A villainous splinter faction absconds…

A little bit is the choice of caps, but... I mean yeah, they look it because they are.

Which is very true to the character, given his background and relationship with his own father.

It was definitely a trend in the early part of that span. And though there weren’t really all THAT many, they were heavily promoted and stood out as odd/remarkable/unusual/awkward every time it happened. Definitely something to be noticed and remarked on.

Or IRC.

“Captain America: The First Avenger” is certainly not grimdark. The character himself isn’t either. But I personally have to concede that the plots for the subsequent Cap films ARE pretty well both grim and dark.

This was my theory as well. Hmmm, shiny gold Rip....

The real difference isn’t between this state or that state. It’s between urban and rural. CA and NY have unusually large urban populations and seem to be disproportionate, but they’re more than balanced out by multiple, but sparsely populated states. Though the differences in views are more complex than simply urban…

Some of them ARE genuinely that complex, yes. Complex and... fiddly.
