  1. My " Brawler" is...Daredevil! Daredevil (Marvel Comics character) - Wikipedia
  2. Cannon Fodder: The Wrecking Crew Wrecking Crew (comics) - Wikipedia
  3. I'd be happy to hear any alternate solutions to American corruption that don't involve "waiting for the fascists to take control".
  4. I will note that The American Revolution was...in effect....doing exactly what people seem to be railing against now. It's easy to support the status quo when it either benefits you or harms you minimally in comparison to others. The system we have in place has been corrupted by those in power and continues to become more corrupt on a daily basis. And...let's be realistic...if there are no consequences for the harm our current system causes, why would those in power ever change it willingly? If the threat of violence is off the table, what other alternatives are there? Work within a system that is so controlled by big wealth that there's no chance of significant change in a dozen lifetimes? Vote? We're seeing the answer to that. Gerrymander voting into irrelevance. Those in power LOVE peaceful protests....because they can safely ignore them. Protests without the threat of consequences is like a shark without teeth. Strikes are a potential middle ground, but again...our system has effectively weakened organized labor for decades and it's only now starting to have any semblance of a recovery. I'm not advocating violence. I abhor it. But....like the French and Russian Revolutions of previous eras, I can't see the establishment giving up any kind of power without some type of forceful coercion.
  5. Macguffin Pick: One of Red Skull's "go to's"....The Cosmic Cube! Cosmic Cube - Wikipedia
  6. My "Not of This Earth" pick is....Gamora! Gamora - Wikipedia
  7. So....Femme Fatale choice... Diamondback Diamondback (Rachel Leighton) - Wikipedia
  8. Ugh! That's a pretty significant snipe. Let's see.....
  9. My Mystic/Psychic Weirdo pick is Raven... Raven (DC Comics) - Wikipedia This version is a bit less powerful than standard...more akin to the animated series or the early comic appearances of the character.
  10. I guess I'll try this one too... Location: Budapest Leader: Hawkeye (Clint Barton) - Wikipedia Dragon: Grey Gargoyle Grey Gargoyle - Wikipedia
  11. Which...given the brain dead populace...will probably work....
  12. Forgive the flippancy of my response, but as I'm celebrating my first Christmas without my only sibling....my tolerance for anti vaxx rhetoric is nonexistent.
  13. Justifications to take the vaccine.... Ethically....it saves lives. Scientifically....statistically proven to save lives. Logically.....it saves lives.
  14. The trailer for the new Dr. Strange film is out, but you have to see No Way Home to watch it.
  15. From my FB review.... Movie review: Spider-man: No Way Home (2021). In the interest of preventing spoilers, I'll only be referring to elements of the film that are obvious from the trailers. In this third installment, Peter Parker is dealing with the aftermath of having his identity revealed in the last movie. Dr. Strange tries to help and all hell breaks loose. Now there are some plot threads that don't quite add up and a few annoying bits, but the sheer amount of fan service in this film is just so satisfying. The film is also generally well scripted and shot. The first fight sequence is the best IMO, but there's a lot to love throughout. Special props to the returning villain actors who are given the opportunity to revisit and revitalize some of their iconic roles. Alfred Molina is particularly good. There are two post credit sequences (though one of them is more or less a trailer for an upcoming film). I'm giving it an A. Definitely one of the better MCU movies and well worth seeing.
  16. There's always room in the U.S budget for military expenditures. Sigh....
  17. Sure is lucky this disturbed kid had a role model in the form of Rittenhouse....a vigilante praised as a "hero" by every reactionary idiot in this country.
  18. This shooting sadly occurred near my home. I'm just tired of it....
  19. In fairness, the gun debate is a big part of American politics....especially these days. "shrugs"
  20. It doesn't. As part of a marginalized group in this country, I'd be among the first targeted in a fascist America.
