Played A Matter of Family last night, and I can't help but feel that they should have had Jason instead of Tim as Robin in it. It would have given him a bit more to his character. Also it makes me realise that the movement abilities in Knight are pretty good, to the point where I can't think of a time when I needed the Line Launcher, so I'm always thrown when there's a puzzle I need it for because I just completely forget about it.

It should have been Dick, dammit.

• Cloak & Dagger: They're visually interesting and sure leave an impact, and it's even more cool because they kind of feel like a Stand User and Stand from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure! But, the backside of that is that with such an action-packed game, including assists, it'd get too hectic with them. And an actual quote was "The game won't be able to support 2 characters in 1 like this!"

X-Men: Children of the Atom? It's never been rereleased since the PS1/Saturn releases, probably due to licensing. (I just checked and it's not on the PSN store, either.) I'm sure if you look around, the arcade ROM is readily available and playable on MAME.

he was getting a major comic push at the time and Guardians of the Galaxy was in production (though the Nova Corps there of course had almost nothing to do with the comic version.)

It's Ms. Marvel and it's always been Ms. Marvel for very specific reasons.

Your timeline is off. Guardians wasn't till years after MVC3.

It was already in planning though. Marvel was doing its movie announcements well in advance and GotG was one of the first they floated as early as like 2010.

our every move is the new tradition
If I remember correctly, at the time, Disney wanted to make Guardians and cosmic Marvel in general a big deal because they wanted to have a big space-opera franchise.

Then they bought Lucasfilm outright and the plan got semi-abandoned.

I'm not loyal to anything, General... except the dream.
Kevin Feige had said stuff like, "YEah, and we want to do crazy stuff like Guardians!!" the year before Ultimate MvC3, but Guardians development wasn't announced until the year after.

Yea that one, and that sucks. Loved that game, but never found a PS1 copy of it, and I'm sure now it goes for stupid amounts of money.

Yea, Ms is used for an unmarried woman, it was also the name of the first truly feminist magazine. The list had her written Miss Marvel, which is so wrong for her character.

Ms. Can be used to describe both married and unmarried women, that's the point of the phrase.

I'm pretty sure the person typing it out just fell under the misassumption that Ms. is an abbreviation for Miss, much like Mr. is short for Mister.

No, "Miss" is used for an unmarried woman (as opposed to "Mrs."). "Ms." is deliberately ambiguous and may be applied to women regardless of marital status, which is why it was adopted by feminists. They felt that women deserved an identity that was not defined by their attachment to a man.

I'll have to go back to my 10th grade English teacher and tell her that she gave us all bad information.

She told us that Mrs was for married women, Miss was for women you were showing respect to, and Ms was for unmarried women. I've been using it incorrectly for decades.

Huh. I've been using "Miss" for unknown marital status and "Ms." for unmarried women. That's good to know.

The story feels comic books in all the right ways, as opposed to something like Arkham Knight, which is comic books in all the worst ways.
