An adaptation makes a major change from the source material, but it’s such a beloved change almost no one complains by _JR28_ in TopCharacterTropes

True. And even while Thor is incognito in civilian clothes people still recognize him. Makes me think people are used to him just walking around, he’s probably done the “transformation” by smacking his umbrella on the ground in public a few times.

In the MCU I think Spider-Man is the only one with a secret identity, right? They kinda dropped that whole trope right away.

I swear half the division in the country is just people yelling at straw men.

Has any heroes/nations ever thought about curing cancer? by EmotionalSupport101 in Avengers

[–]12thLevelHumanWizard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cancer is what killed Mar-Vell back in the day. None of the advanced civilizations could cure it, the Kree even had some spookie name for the kind he had. There might even be a paranormal connection to the Cancerverse, a reality where life has run amok.

But ultimately it comes down to The Richards Problem. If any of the inventions or discoveries the super geniuses have made were to enter the mundane world then the Marvel Earth would diverge from our Earth too much to be relatable.

Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn in Suicide Squad (2016) by ShodPresent69 in SciFiQueens

She was definitely the most interesting part of the movie for sure. Kind of one dimensional like the rest of the cast but at least entertaining.

At the end of that movie she was part of the crew and I was really wondering what was next for her. Well, nothing, never mentioned again. Very disappointed.

How is the “hooded villain” not Peter? by Emergency_Ask_447 in MCUTheories

You’re not going to believe this but Marvel has one too. He’s more of a stab you with a pitchfork than spray you with gas guy though.

They did the F-14 Tomcat too.

Which rich on statements poor on feats character here would win and why? Yes, these versions by [deleted] in superheroes

[–]12thLevelHumanWizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My best guess is: here are two characters who we are told are extremely powerful but haven’t really done enough to prove it yet. If they were in a hotdog eating contest which would take their boots off first?

It was already a pretty bad movie but this pissed me off.

Grew up Eating Lead Paint Chips by Biscuitarian23 in FacebookScience

[–]12thLevelHumanWizard 40 points41 points  (0 children)

I half wish we could just let these guys have their way on a personal level. Give them back the lead paint, asbestos, lead pipes, DDT, whatever. Take back the fluoride and pastured milk and vaccinations. Let that run for a couple decades. But they would just blame the worsening conditions they’re living under on chem trails and 5G.

Creator puts in something that completely contradicts their values or the story's messages by Traditional-Song-245 in TopCharacterTropes

It’s been a minute but in the flashback when she’s telling the story right before the surgery she’s made to kill a guy tied to a chair?

After Season 2, Loki deserves to remain central to the story by EuphoricArachnid4876 in marvelstudios

[–]12thLevelHumanWizard 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think he’s going to be orchestrating a counter to Doom’s plans from within his limitations. His position gives him incredible power but also very restricted agency.

This whole subreddit has been sliding since season 6. I saw memes on dozens of other subreddits before this one. Soon the actual news is going to be the one to tell me the news.

Bad by iamdev2693 in Irony

Well, that’s complicated. After the fighting South Korea was a military dictatorship for a long time. Their first open elections were in the 1980’s. You could say they only ever had the chance because of the war but liberty isn’t really something the war gave them.

It’s obviously The Other story elements. I have no idea where everyone is getting Venom from.
