My main problem with Love and Thunder is that they revealed the main plot point with Jane WAY too early. It would have been far more dramatically effective to reveal that sometime after Thor and her meet again. That and the silliness carried over from Ragnarok. Bale feels like he should be in a different movie. This just doesn't deliver on any level. It's a shame.

It shouldn't be an either or situation. And I'm not at all convinced Trump is going to get anything more meaningful for all this dealing. I guess we'll see, but so far I'm just feeling our two tier system at work again and it's both tiresome and frustrating.

The punishment was insultingly light. No time behind bars and fines so small she could pay them with her "fun money".

Rudy has always been....questionable. Like Reagan, he had the benefit of good PR to cover up his many deficiencies.

I have no words really. Absolutely disgusting. America creates this. Sigh....

I'm going as an alien. Better half is going to be Superman. Pups are going as Loki and Man Bat respectively.

I guess I just like villain masterminds leading a group...like Magneto and his Brotherhood or the various Brotherhoods from DC's Doom Patrol. Muerte's considerably less overpowered, but still fills the same role. He also feels a lot more like Doom to me (if you remove his hero worship complication) than Destroyer ever will. Destroyer also has zero personality beyond "being evil". He's so over the top asshat that ANYONE working for him seems beyond belief. Muerte is basically a toned down version that I feel is more in line with Silver and Bronze age comic eras.

If I decide to bring a "Doom" type mastermind into my game, I'd probably just rather use Professor Muerte. "Shrugs"

That's totally fair. I did find good things in most of those projects minus Love and Thunder...which was just a huge miss. (I wasn't fond of the overly silly Ragnarök either so no surprise that leaning into the humor even more was...bad.) I actually liked the first episode of She-Hulk, but then it went almost completely off the rails in terms of narrative.

I'll never use Doctor Destroyer as written. He's written as cosmically powerful with a concept that isn't.... UGH!

I can appreciate that, but when one side wants to legislate minorities out of existence...I'm not seeing much room for compromise. I'll reference the "Paradox of Tolerance" for my general views on that. The simple fact of the matter is that nothing will fundamentally change until we substantially reduce money in politics....and that's not going to happen in our existing system. You do the math. The change that is needed is not going to organically happen without strong outside influence.

I'm curious as to what you consider to be big misses. Not saying it isn't true...just curious. Lately, it seems like every Marvel project is bashed to hell before it even comes out. In that environment, nothing is going to be satisfactory. I thought Age of Ultron was garbage, but I didn't assume everything was going to be crap going forward...which is what people seem to be doing now. Not everything is going to be Avengers (2012) or Thor: Dark World. Most things are going to be somewhere in between. Secret Invasion was definitely a miss, but I thought Wandavision was pretty good. I guess as a fan of monster films, I'm just used to quality being up and down and I don't dismiss the genre based on any one film or even a group of them. "shrugs"

Definitely used the earlier versions. I mostly used the Devil's Advocates, but the other characters got used on occasion either directly or as background setting. I won't lie though. I never used Lady Twilight. To me, she was the least interesting character in the book. The Mind Master Complex, Dr. Black, and Hell Rider all got major stories in our campaign. I also plan to use The Totems, but haven't introduced them yet.

I've used them before and never had an issue....possibly because I use them mostly as comic relief.

The 2024 election is going to be a complete crapfest. Nuff said.

The grift has worked fine. Why stop now?

I ran Shadows of the City in its entirety with my group and we had a great deal of fun.

Lost Boys for me.

SPFX pioneer Eiji Tsuburaya was born on this date in 1901.

This seems low...even for Desantis. I'm already boycotting Florida, but I feel bad for the citizens.

Great way to end Pride month. I'm just....disgusted.

Since when does what the majority wants ever matter in this country when it comes to legislation...?

When one side essentially wants to wipe out marginalized people in the country either figuratively or literally....I'm done "finding ways to manage despite disagreements".

Okay...what kind of country bans Julie Andrews? Just....no.

My last option pick....The Cosmic Cube!
