Coolness Averted posted:In the context of comic books there's universe destroying poo poo every 6 months that all gets undone within 2 years. I think there would be more silly stuff like this. We had tribute.avi and that was without finding the magic rocks in Afghanistan that brought the towers back There was an otherwise really good relaunch of Nova (think space cops, Nova Corps is in Guardians of the Galaxy) where a teenage kid finds his dad's space helmet that gives him powers, but there's one scene where a teacher of his just doesn't believe in extraterrestrial life. And it's just like, "What the gently caress? you've seen them on the news at least once or twice a year threatening to kill all of us, for the past 15 years. You can physically go to Oklahoma and hang out with Thor's friends."

Ghost Leviathan posted:A town specifically founded by survivors of Thanos doing genocide on them BEFORE the snap. Yeah, that's genuinely a little weird when I think about it. Not to Godwin, but that kinda feels like the gay or Jewish part of town having a Nazi-themed restaurant in the 50s. I don't know how Asgard feels about their recent history, but it kinda feels like it might be a tad too soon at best.

Surely it'd be a snap for someone like Reed Richards to terraform Mars, and your own kid might go to school with an alien. But no, people are content to stay in modern day Buffalo for some reason.

BioEnchanted posted:Also unlike 9/11 it was a disaster where everyone kind of came back later on, causing NEW problems but at the very least the victims didn't stay dead. You can just imagine the name of the store was probably the idea of someone who was dusted and then came back and thought it would be cute to reference it. poo poo, they did? I thought it was over (I only saw the first thanos movie)

Data Graham posted:poo poo, they did? I thought it was over Yeah. It was a surprisingly interesting move too as it wasn't a fairytale ending - 2 years had passed so people had just moved on, so 4 billion people suddenly popped back and found themselves with no homes or jobs as they'd been legally dead for years. It caused almost as many problems as the initial snap did. Endgame also had a fun line from the Hulk, where he summarises his glib attitude to time travel with "What? It's time travel. Either it's all a joke or none of it is." which is one of my favourite quotes from the franchise.

I read a few of the books. They aren't very good. He is like Steven King and Tom Clancy had a talented baby that picked up the worst traits of both parents. 1/3 well written, well crafted plot. 1/3 terrible filler. 1/3 weird rear end intrinsically detailed tangent on random rear end in a top hat subject. I can't remembering which book it was that had a 12 page section of Bond playing Bridge, with breakdowns of every hand and play. It might as well have been written in cruciform since no one born after Kennedy knows how to play.

The only strategy to baccarat is to put 100% of your money on the banker then leave no matter the outcome. It gives you nearly 50% odds. (46% IIRC) Anything else and you'll just end up losing slowly.
