    I disagree with the assessment of the second movie. Scott had some moments where Pym's tech let him down, but he faked out Jimmy Woo's Unit almost constantly, foiled the Ghost, and got his own wombats to help cover and put Sonny's guys in jail while saving the day, and saved the lab with giant power.
     
    If anything, he gets treated badly by his sidekick who supposedly trained all her life, and his mentor who should know better, and outshines them at every turn.

    slikmar got a reaction from Trencher in DC Movies- if at first you don't succeed...   
    I did too. it was also the first time I remember someone doing his parents still alive, and they were great. When he was trying on costumes and Pa Kent looks at him in the tights and says Thats my Boy.
    I also thought, next to Reeves, it was one of the better interpretations of Clark and Supes, not to mention Terry Hatcher as Lois. Iliked their Luther too. Only time series was dumb was when the marriage was coming up and the comics got delayed so forced them to do the clone storyline to buy time.

    1. The Ant-Man movie where Ant-Man risked jail and loss of visitation rights to his daughter, in order to save Janet from the QR and keep Pym's tech out of the hands of criminals?
    2. It's Paul Rudd, man.

    Took my kid sledding on one of the local hills.  After going down several times while I watched, she asked:
    "Daddy, are you going to go downhill?"
    "Honey, at my age, that is all I ever do."

    If the Bengals beat the Ravens, there is no flip.  
     
    The reasons why it would go to a flip if the Ravens win:
    --Ravens would have beaten Bengals twice
    --each team would have 11 wins
     
    So had the Bills beaten the Bengals, the Ravens would get the tiebreaker.  Bengals beat Bills, there's no tie.  Bengals take the division.
     
    If the Bengals win and the Bills lose, even if the Bengals had beaten the Bills *they can't take the #1 seed* so WHY would it not be played in KC? 
     
    Had the Bills beaten the Bengals, then winning today would give *them* the #1 seed by tiebreaker. 
     
    The point is to examine the ties that COULD have happened, had the Bills-Bengals game been played out.  The Bengals aren't being hosed out of something they might have had.
     
    And, yes, they're changing the rules at the last minute...in response to an absolutely unique, extraordinary, and completely unforeseeable occurrence, where there simply weren't many viable options.  What they did was the most generally equitable solution, given ALL the circumstances.

    Since the calendar's changed...time to start the new thread.
     
    The biggest off-season news to me has been the number of HUGE, long-term deals, despite the fact that they don't pan out that well, when they run deep into a player's 30s.  But there've been a lot of em....
     
    On the flip side, the Dodgers designated Trevor Bauer for assignment.  It'd be surprising if anyone picks him up before he becomes an unrestricted free agent, in about a week.  He's still going to be docked pay for the first 50 games he plays.  Figure, then:  he may well sign a 1 year contract for the league min...use the year to show he's still got it, and try to position for another big contract in 24.
     
    Not saying I want to see that, but were I his agent, that's how I'd be thinking.  It seems unlikely there'll be that many suitors offering big deals;  there's the terrible PR (but we know that won't be a universal deterrent), but there's also the serious rust.  He hasn't pitched since his suspension in mid 2021.

    Well the first step is to pick up Darren Watts' Golden Age Champions.  It has all you need about the world, the concepts, and the ideas that made Golden Age feel like it does.
     
    But what are you trying to accomplish with the character?  Do you want them to feel like the philosophy and outlook of the Golden Age, do you want them to have the same kind of powers, do you want them to have a Golden Age feeling costume?
     
    All of that is covered in the GAC, but we can help you more if you explain how you want the character to feel like a Golden Age one.
