I am sorry for causing a huge marvel derail. I just wanted to laugh at those rabidly infested Marvel fans who watch every episode of every one of these comic book spinoffs

I've seen some of the MCU movies, but not the one(s) with Wanda and Vision in them. But based on the first three episodes of the TV show, they seem to basically be able to do anything? What can Thor do? He's strong and can fly? So can they. Also they can alter reality on a whim.

Scarlet Witch being powerful to a dangerous degree is basically the premise of the show (and of a lot of her stories).

That's why Green Man Hulk and Giant-Size Man Thing are cool and good - they're not superheroes.

Also Dracula.

Backpacks are incredibly practical, but absolutely not comfortable.

A good backpack that fits properly is super comfortable. A cheap Jansport school backpack is not.

Tiggum posted:

The clear examples of irrelevant characters are Hawkeye and Black Widow. One's really good with a bow and arrow, the other's good at gymnastics. Go compete in the olympics or something, you have no place among these gods and wizards.

Black Widow could work as a MCU James Bond type superspy and/or assassin, IMO. They just need to stop trying to wedge her into movies about godlike beings getting into slugging matches.

Hawkeye is always awful, though.

I'm not that invested in comics anymore, but Hawkeye owns simply because of the loving balls it takes to basically be a LARPer and hang out with robots and gods and poo poo like it's nothing.

The less powerful heroes are always cool. Thor punching Galactus in the face? I mean sure, he's a God-alien. Daredevil doing the same? loving awesome, he's a blind guy who knows Karate.

I have a very good backpack. It still makes my back all sweaty and is awkward to take on public transport. And in most cases, anything I want to carry will fit in a smaller bag that I can carry in my hand or put in my bike basket.

Have you ever worn a skirt? Nothing better in warm weather.

I have a couple of sarongs for around the house and they are fantastic. There's nothing stopping me from wearing them out, other than looking a bit weird in semirural Tasmania.

Tiggum posted:

I carry my keys, phone and wallet in my pockets every time I leave the house. I think I've maybe worn through the pockets of one pair of pants in the last decade?

I think I'm just hard on clothes. I've had pants tear on the seam because I deigned to squat down with things in my pockets. Like solid khakis. I don't think I've had a pair of pants last more than a year for ages.

I like the MCU well enough but the Arrowverse TV shows are the superior option for live-action superhero stuff.

I feel nothing but contempt for protesters who show up with brown cardboard signs with their message written in sharpie.

You're not doing your cause any good pal. If you feel strongly enough about something to go to a protest, maybe do a little more than cut the side off an amazon box and scribble on it with your junk drawer marker.

I only accept signs on foam core board with pictures cut out of magazines and bubble letters

This is something that has largely gone away as people realised that this poo poo isnt a game, but I'd rather see that than a "clever" Harry Potter reference tailored for Buzzfeed photos. I do think protesting should feel carnivalesqe and joyful where appropriate, but it's kind of gross when the part-timers turn it into a Comic-Con crafts fayre.

Rock tends to not have trumpets or any kind of brass instruments in it, so it is automatically an inferior genre.

As we all know, ska is the best musical genre. :colbert:
