Bay 12 Games Forum

My wife and I decided to watch the Marvel Universe things in timeline order.

Finished off the movies, most of which are pretty good, and I’m glad one of the things that really bothered me in Infinity War was explored and rectified in Endgame, even if Endgame was a bit underwhelming as an end to everything, partly because my favourite character dies.

Anyhow, watched Loki which I had been looking forward to low key, and was hugely disappointed. Bad acting, bad writing, I don’t know if there was some bad directing because of how Tom Hiddleston was acting in some scenes or if he really just isn’t that good an actor if he has to do more than overact as a villain, though again, with what he had to work with…

Not all that enamoured with the first couple of episodes of What If either, but as my wife said, they’ve already told the story, there’s not much point exploring scenarios that didn’t happen, even excusing the gaping plot hole in the first episode and the Mary Sue-esque escapades in the second.

WandaVision received a rave review from the BBC, but based on what I’ve seen so far, I’m thinking I may need to lower my expectations.

Also, as a big Star Wars fan, I am getting quite anxious about what this may mean for the quality of those series.

2016 was the one in which the Russians got caught, you mean.

I genuinely don’t know how DJ Jr. meeting with a Russian to get information about a political opponent, even though it turned out they didn’t actually have the information to give, is not some kind of election crime.

From checking their profile, mostly a Fire Emblem forum game thread and some other lower board GD things.

24 posts, so unless they had a massive argument with someone, they didn’t post much.

Can we start calling the pro-life lobby the anti-woman lobby?

See, this I think highlights the problem.

Women make up more than 50% of the population.  If all women supported the right to an abortion, this issue would be moot.

There must be large numbers of women that support the anti-abortion agenda.

You vastly overestimate the influence women have on decisions they’re allowed to make on their own bodily autonomy.

I always get a bit sad when I don’t recognize the name that got banned, but having been involved in the conversation that got lagslayer (I think it was them) banned, and having the occasional distasteful conversation with some of the other people that got banned, I don’t know if I should wish these things upon myself.

That would require them having the materials, infrastructure, and facilities to produce it, as well as the bodies to work the factory, and that’s before Russian missiles blow them to oblivion anyway.

What’s wrong with Manchester?

The way the Tories and DUP go on about it, NI is a hellhole (or will be) because of the protocol.

I am not Sweden, but I will crack open a can of Diet Dr. Pepper in your name.
