Look how big the "tiles" are. Each one is an entire catan playboard. They are playing 7 simultaneous games.

I don't know which issue that is from.

But I do remember an issue of Thunderbolts (possibly the same run) where the Leader kidnaps an author to write his Biography for him.

In it he talks about all the epic games of Settlers of Catan that he played with the other Intelligentsia members. But says that the Biographer should write down that they played chess instead. As that is more understood and respected by the masses.

And nothing says (the bad kind of) "gamer nerd" than self loathing over your own hobby.

That's dumb because Catan is one of the best selling games on the planet.

This is true.
But I would bet you if you asked 10 people on the street what Settlers of Catan was, nine out of ten would have never heard of it (or think it's a book about 17th century colonialists.)

Where as everyone knows what chess is and associate playing it with being smart.

I think you'd be surprised. It was the number one selling game at Target and Walmart during multiple Christmas seasons. Hell I've seen it for sale at multiple grocery chains.

I've decided I want the next MCU movie to be Namor, and I want it to mostly be about Namor being an rear end in a top hat to everyone.

I recognize it'd be hard to make a Namor movie different from Aquaman, and I'd like to suggest that we do so by not having any underwater scenes, or action scenes. It's just two hours of Namor being condescending and rude to humans.

Post credit scene is a reveal that Namor being a dick is based entirely on him not getting the bagels he wanted.

Him being rude to dogs is how you establish that he's the bad guy.

FAKE EDIT: Wait no, it's a Secret Lives of Pets movie but with Marvel animals and Namor's the bad guy.

To a degree, but it’s also him (or his character) coming to terms with how unhealthy and pathetic that behavior is.

Since he got laid off, Adam Jensen had to sell his arm blades augments. Eventually all the money ran out and he ended up homeless. And now needs to carry his swords around like a pleb.

His fall in circumstance is tragic. He didn't ask for this.

Well to be fair he takes a break from the naval-gazing to indulge in grotesque transmisogyny.

Not a complaint about her art, more of a complaint about Marvel art in general. I feel like the standalone book should set the standard for what the character looks like, but whenever Squirrel Girl shows up in other works she looks completely different - different variation of her outfit, longer hair when it's shown to be quite short these days, generic "female superhero" body when she's generally not meant to be built like that.. Consistency is not their strong suit with her.. You'd think they'd have some sort of better style bible.

They do the same thing a lot with Gwenpool. She's supposed to be a smaller teen girl and she'll show up elsewhere looking like Wonder Woman.
