A Ghostbuster, before?

Why wouldn’t they keep the part where she Poppin’ Fresh-poked (Poppin’ Fresh’d ??) the Stormtrooper, which made me laugh harder than anything in the actual sketch? It’s not as if anyone broke character or anything. (It’s actually even funnier now, because I literally just realized why she probably did it in the first…

I really hope the footage they were watching wasn’t “real-time.” Because even if the test didn’t accidentally discover “Zero Matter/Darkforce,” and was what they were expecting - an atomic blast - the military guys who were sucked up appeared to be conducting it awfully close (it essentially detonated, and about 3…

Was thinking the same thing. Almost positive she’s an aid (or agent, attaché etc.) to Bail. However.....she wouldn’t be the first government official in this galaxy - or even in her immediate family - with the weird, Princess/Senator/Teenager-combo title.

I think I’ve got the gist of it after a little initial confusion, but still not totally sure about certain details about the correct order of events, as well as what/who affected what/who etc.

Well, getting rid of “Avengers Idea Mechanics” shouldn’t be a problem. I mean, the bane of A.I.M’s existence has been obvious for years, especially to “techies” like Stark....err...especially to Stark:

Actually, I probably should add that, early in this article, my initial response to reading the line, “late last year, Marvel rebooted its entire comic book universe, declaring that an “All-New, All-Different” one had taken its place” - was, “wait, what? ‘Last year’....?? I thought it came out like, 3 months…

Both of the things that caused “confusion” to be brought up - 1) multiple Avenger teams existing, and 2) wondering “how someone as smart as Tony Stark hasn’t noticed this already,” when naming the new group “Avengers” - ended up making me confused, whereas I don’t think I would have been, otherwise.

Collateral damage/how they’re going to fund themselves - through multi-tasking: due to the inevitable civilian deaths incurred when dealing with alien warlords - and potentially “Ultron or Kang” etc., according to Tony - they figured, “hey, while we’re already here....might as well moonlight as gravediggers/undertakers…

Did Waid resist the temptation to have this guy then say to Kamala, “nice/good hands!”?

For starters, time-travel isn’t exactly a common trope used in the Star Wars universe.

Are the book-only series mentioned here - “like New Frontier, Corps of Engineers, Vanguard, Seekers and so on” - considered canon? I know Charlie Jane kind of addressed “canon” in one comment, or at least what she includes, but I’m curious about these particular books - and I randomly typed in Corps of Engineers, and…

Holy crap...really!? Jumping between multiple Marvel Wiki, regular-Wiki, Comic Book DB and IMDB etc, tabs - as usual, with these “Connection” posts - I realized that Dorothy Walker AKA (intended) Trish/Patsy’s mom is...

The weird thing is that only time it ever entered my mind that something seemed staged, was when the Jedi “steps up to the challenge” of “pleasing” the female fan - he seemed to be waiting for his cue, or something. But at the same time, the wheezy laugh that you hear sounds totally genuine - seemed like surprised…

Kylo Ren manages to combine a bunch of elements from the Expanded Universe. His original name, Ben, was given to Luke’s kid in the books. (Which, honestly, makes more sense.)

And the Clone Wars cartoon does a remarkable job with Anakin, to the point that it makes his slow descent into rage and sadism actually stomach-turning at times

Using the “uphill climb” metaphor is appropriate here, especially for predicting whether this person, one who was “clearly meant to be a minor character who shows up in a couple of scenes,” can regain “credibility” - considering you could easily take everything I just wrote, and apply it to Boba Fett instead. Someone…

Goofy question(s): When it comes to the droids ( for the part explaining how small the “Resistance” is), are we talking the same droids - or ones similar to - the ones used during the Clone Wars? Also, when you say - here’s the “goofy” part - they were “charged and used constantly,” do you mean “charged” as in…

With Obama’s talent for giving speeches, can you imagine what he’d be able to accomplish if he were Supreme Chancellor - or had any “significant” title - during the final years of the Old Republic, considering every time (that I can think of....honestly) anyone gives a speech, no matter how “good” (i.e. cheesy), the…

Just to clarify....the main (only?) difference here, is that in the film, R2 was made aware of the Imperial records/archives way before he wakes up (by BB-8, if memory serves) - and he just happens to conveniently wake up way later, when he does; whereas in the novel, R2 is made aware of the Imperial records/archives d…
