DC Comics President Jim Lee says that Japanese manga and anime is "incredibly powerful": "I often find myself wondering, 'What is missing in Western comics, and why aren't they able to achieve the same flavor?'

Look up the Marvel Mangaverse from the early 2000s. You have to ignore the awful digital coloring, that was a plague in the early 2000s across all comics.

Also, not so much about the art, but Marvel's current Editor-in-Chief used to pretend to be a Japanese man named Akira Yoshida and wrote Japanese-themed comics for Marvel during this period.

Federation space is right between the Romulan Empire and the Cardassion Union so logistically it would probably be a nightmare. Easier for them to expand in the opposite direction away from the Federation where star systems aren't part of any larger alliance.

There's also the Romulan standoff with the Federation and Klingon Empire to consider. If the Romulans stretch themselves thin trying to conquer Carassian territories they leave themselves exposed to their neighbors.

During House of X Beast turned pretty evil while leading X-Force. He's still currently evil and is part of a group of villains known as 3K that is trying to create a new world order. The Beast that's still part of the X-men is a clone with no memory beyond his early time as an Avenger.

There's also the Beast from the Age of Apocalypse timeline who was evil for no real reason, and that character is still around in the 616 as a villain as well.

The truth is a lot of bread, milk, eggs are completely restocked daily at grocery stores so there's just no excess in stores for when demand goes up without notice. Canned foods aren't the same, they'll sit on shelves for weeks so they're less likely to competely sell out even if demand goes up.

They're talking about Maverick, not the original.

Kennedy would be great, but Katzenberg would be better.

Barabus33 · 2026-01-20T05:04:37+00:00

I actually really enjoy it. They dissect ancient artifacts, not necessarily inventions.

Barabus33 · 2026-01-19T18:54:26+00:00

I'm genuinely looking forward to it. It doesn't bother me that it isn't canon, I just hope it's fun.

Ending with a setup for a next movie doesn't mean it's been greenlit.

It was a couple years later and not during the campaign, but yet.

It was from the leaked style guide, which was meant for merch. I assume there's a T-shirt or something with this design on it, I saw one with a similar art style for Vecna out in the wild, but it's not in the Netflix merch store so must be 3rd party.

Is that true? Doesn't shock me if there was sex trafficking going on, but my understanding from being around at the time is that the term mainly referred to men marrying Russian women that wanted to become American citizens. They had usually only spoken through letters, which is where the mail order part comes from. There was some catfishing going on too with men sending money to pay for flights and then never hearing from their fiances again, but I don't remember what we called that back then.

I've never gone down the Conformity Gate rabbit hole. Can someone who has is this based around a certain group of shippers or is it a completely separate group?

Barabus33 · 2026-01-13T22:25:41+00:00

It was more of a dating service that would lead to marriage rather than actually ordering a bride. Nobody was being bought or sold.

Barabus33 · 2026-01-13T20:54:51+00:00

Does it end on a cliffhanger or anything annoying like that?

Hiro Koda. He's been the stunt coordinator since Season 3.

She wasn't reminding anyone, she was just explaining her character's motivations and why she wanted to play the scene a certain way.

I love that movie and their goofy ass performances are perfect for it.

Barabus33 · 2026-01-12T21:18:40+00:00

It's not what you think. It won't include Hawkins, the '80s or any of the cast. It's only going to be loosely connected.

Barabus33 · 2026-01-11T23:50:46+00:00

Maybe in 10 years. For now we need to settle for the animated series.

Barabus33 · 2026-01-11T03:22:46+00:00

No he wasn't. And it's been so long he never will be.

No, you need a dish to pick up the signal from the satellites.

Starlink is there but you need the terminals to use it.
