Clark lived there, Superman lives up north! Clark Kent wears Glasses!

Reports are that BW lost a ton of money after the opening weekend. Disney came out of this looking incredibly greedy and dumb for not realizing people would treat this like Wrestlemania PPV.

For something like Covid to be taken seriously by the population at large, people would have to drop dead in the streets like 28 days. The fact that so many have died is easily discounted by that was some other country, an error in the news, government lying, Covid only takes the old, whatever.
 
To show people they are being stupid, people would have to start dropping across their towns faster than ambulances could pick them up and take them to the hospital

Went to see Black Widow with the boy. He said the Red Guardian should get his own movie.  I could have done without the ham, but I sat down and thought about it. This guy is in jail thirty years, is basically out of shape, as soon as the widows call him, basically just goes "I'm out." and breaks out of the cell block. Nobody seemed to be able to take on the Taskmaster, but RG was like I can do this all day, and actually did some minor damage

The Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard- Micheal Bryce is supposed to be on vacation while his license is being reviewed. Instead he is drawn into stopping an attack on Europe's internet infrastructure when Darius Kincaid's wife, Sonia, asks him for help.

Alpha Flight might be under the X-men rights thing. Deadpool was a member of Weapon X but they changed his origin in his movie, but he was still tied to the X-Men.  The same thing might apply to the Flight where they couldn't use the team because they are a X team.

I am comfortable with saying that I only watched the movies I wanted to watch (GOTG, GOTG2, Ant Man, Ant Man and the Wasp, Endgame, I wanted to see Dr Strange but I didn't get to, and I haven't got a copy of the DVD yet) because that was what I wanted to watch and I didn't watch anything else because I didn't care about those characters.
 
I always liked DC better but the recent movies have not spoken to me, so I have avoided them too.

I think I am going to pick up Forge today

Man, they should make Contortion its own Olympic sport so all the effort some straight white men go to explain how media spotlighting women or minorities isn't actually successful or popular despite all evidence to the contrary doesn't go to waste. 🤣

Easy enough to deal with.  "Hey, she was there.  Just invisible.  All the time."

I need three things to finish out my draft: Sentient life, flora/fauna/ and interference.
What kind of life would the god of justice/order/laws/and punishment create? judges? punishers? ghost riders? Maybe angels? Paladins at least. A race of paladins. This race of paladins will be called the Dreaded, and enact justice for those who need it by calling on the domains of JUSTICE.
 
As for flora/fauna, I will put in the Mew, a fairly harmless telekinetic monster until it is angered.
 
Interference: Dean has really killed it on the twisting concepts thing. How do I even try to top that? My interference is going to be karma applies to the gods too. Doing good gets you good, doing bad gets you bad.

I'll have to disagree with that. She's saying he came back because everyone thought he was dead, not because he suddenly got younger. Steve went back in time, lived in another timeline until Peggy died and then returned with that Universe's version of his shield. Otherwise where did the shield come from?

Mythic Guardian:
Some people did not want to appear in court to answer complaints. Erinyes, bailiffs of the overworld were created to serve these summons out of the elements in the vicinity of their summoning. Seeing a creature of earth dragging someone to a courthouse is not common, but it does happen.

if you have a single series of episodes like early television, then the only thing that matters for continuity is that Majors Healy and Nelson work together, and one always has a problem that is exaggerated by the other.
 
When you have a shared universe like Wild Cards or Thieves' World, every writer has to know what every other writer is doing, or at least the editor does so he doesn't have Tempus split the city in half while Shadowspawn is trying to steal the Sea King's horn from the city vault, or if Tempus does split the city, it isn't where Shadowspawn is actually working.
 
DC's writers and editors are like we want Batman being pregnant with Aquaman's kid and then asking some other writer to figure out how he is going to handle that for JLA

And to answer Old Man about continuity. There is three ways this has gone.:
1) episodic - not continuity except for within the current story/episode.
2) Narrative: Each episode/scenario is part of a longer narrative. With this the series is treated as one consistent narrative. 
3) Inter-series narratives. with Marvel's silver Age titles, Stan Lee set them in NYC. Due to this Marvel decided that events in one title would affect other titles. This made the nascent "Marvel Universe" more realistic. Granted this storytelling conceit was easier to pull off with only a handful of titles. Now it it is a mess. 

They have had ten rewriting crisis since then. Think about that. I saw the DC History book on the book shelf and laughed.

Dan Didio, the former top dog, said get rid of all the legacy guys and bring back the old guys, and then went out of his way to give the shaft to Nightwing and Wally West. Everything bad that has happened to those characters has been because Didio hated them.

Geography: Everywhere there is need of arbitration of the laws of the land, there is a courthouses where no matter how high or lowborn you are, you may have your grievance heard and addressed by the god of justice. These courthouses are usually permanently installed where they are first needed and remain there

I think as the god of justice, I already have this covered
