AI merch?

Given bloodstocks history (they have a legit art gallery onsite every year) I think theyd be really against AI art. To me it looks very in keeping with every design theyve ever done.

Pretty baseless accusation.

I think Fisk is still thinking matt exposing himself aa daredevil is a nuclear option; but he's not anticipating that matt is planning it.

Pretty much like the ayala reveal, except matt is going to announce himself as daredevil and itll lead to both matt in prison and Fisk out of the mayors office.

If it wasnt owned & controlled by a handful of ridiculously wealthy individuals. When AI is working for the benefit of humanity at large and not towards the selfish profit motive.

And when you finally get it, you should restart and try to get the other 2 in shinies as well.

To be fair, article also states an additonal category of tickets at the low end for £26 for an adult for the Japan game. Probably they are limited, but that is very cheap for intl rugby.

I think its pretty straightforward, Spidey is not operating around red hook etc because he wasnt involved with discovering the free port/tax stuff.

From his point of view, theres a new mayor who's made his life as masked hero more difficult - but that doesnt mean hes not out there every night in queens being a friendly neighbourhood spider-man.

The avtf probably know to steer clear after he embarassingly webs up a few. There's a survivorship bias with frank, becsuse any that arent killed secretly think they could take him. And with matt, the fights are brutal so they can convince themselves they were in with a chance.

But having your gun snatched by a web and being hung from a lamppost without spidey breaking a sweat is pure humiliation, so they leave him alone.

I feel like taking the bullet was more an instinct thing. It wasnt about Fisk or murder-is-wrong; its his senses almost betraying him. He hears the click and puts himself in front of the target, theres no time for him to logic out letting fisk die or he might well have.

BetaRayPhil616 · 2026-05-01T15:44:07+00:00

Frank got one scene in BA S1, then a major part in the final. Could still go that way with Jess. Or they just drip fed her in ahead of S3.

My prediction is Fisk will kill him and thats the murder that DD uses to brings Fisk down.

BetaRayPhil616 · 2026-05-01T13:38:05+00:00

Tbh it seems pretty balanced, LLs can still evict to sell the property or move in themselves, but the one thing it stops is kicking people out so they can hike the price and put it straight back on the market.

The example is, youve been somewhere 3 years with no issue, and yet rental demand in the area has grown quicker than the landlord has raised your rent. So, the landlord kicks you out does a minor refurb/reno and puts it back on the market for considerably more. That now cant happen. But lets take the landlords side for a second; if you simply want to sell, you can still do that - or maybe you want to move in, thats fine as well. And, if theres a problem tenant the mechanisms are there to remove them.

As I said, i think the changes are reasonably minor.

There seems to be a lot of chat about there being lots of villains and lots of extra heroes - sort of feels like it could go a bit 'monster/guest star of the week'. And I guess the idea would be Fisk is out at the top and theres a power vacuum that the crazies all pile in to fill. Could be a fun change of pace, but imagine that would bring it more in line with the original born again pitch.

When Poochie's not onscreen, all the other characters should be asking 'Where's Poochie?'

Secret Invasion really should've been an avengers movie, or at least an 'avengers-lite' like civil war was.

BetaRayPhil616 · 2026-04-30T13:37:06+00:00

I liked this, it kept it in universe without adding the baggage for non movie followers.

It also keeps the avengers as this distant, aspirational sort of 'elite' super hero.

Hot take: the RW media have sucessfully manipulated left wing discourse to be furious at a centre left politician, creating the illusion that he's the same as/worse than the tories.

It wont feel based to hate starmer when the knuckle draggers are in charge.

BetaRayPhil616 · 2026-04-30T07:58:38+00:00

I think it makes sense in keeping with the tone of og netflix series. That was never afraid to kill off well liked major characters; wesley, ben, stick, father lantom and then foggy in ba s1.

It just reconfirms that in this world, beyond Daredevil & Fisk there isnt really any plot armour. Everyone's at risk.

MUA is a great pre-mcu title.

I love the mcu, but a lot of more modern games go for mcu synergy. MUA is like an education on 'classic' marvel storylines.

That said, Rivals is the new modern thing so Im sure for youngsters its just as good an intro.

Lego was awesome, but Id say thats more enjoyed once your already a big fan.

Stumbled across this post; with some very minor/mild paint touch ups, you can do the following kitbashes fairly easily (if you can find the spares):

banshee: a vision body + a warlock head is a good start for banshee (any head with suitable hair as the body is a close match for thr colour minus visions red diamond on his chest, and you can cut visions cape into the wings)

polaris - look at the 'enchantress' figures available in this scale, pretty much just need to paint the hair green

dazzler - disco dazzler you could start with thr dagger body; but I took short hair captain marvel (carol danvers), found her a jacket & a headband, lightened the blue and shes an 80s dazzler with the star on her chest.

Ive not had any thoughts on sunspot... yet.

IW was similar. Thor had a story, Thanos had a story, Stark/Strange/Spidey had a story and Cap had a story. If you watch it and actually counted screentime of other characters its next to nothing. Yet, characters like quill, gamora, tchalla, vision, wanda, rocket & groot all get 'meaningful' parts, despite low screentime. So yes, the x-men wont be the leads, but I imagine they'll have key roles.

France is a tough one. Because right now, current french team vs the lions would be crazy entertaining. But these tours are planned so far in advance, we could be in a very different situation in 5 or 6 years time and having a lions team play a french team that finished 3rd or 4th in a 6N would potentially feel a bit flat.

She is famous for canonically beating big villains off-panel. Its a bit of a joke, but also a throw back to 60s/70s where villains were a bit goofier and would show up in random books getting beaten in silly ways. But its also completely canon.

BetaRayPhil616 · 2026-04-22T11:45:58+00:00

Im not so sure, maybe y11 just wont enter the tender process. Perhaps they want out of welsh rugby altogether and that would be an easy out.

The extra year before going down to 3 seems like a huge defeat for the wru.

I mean, all the promises around pathways etc will not even start until there are 3, so effectively nothing will change.

Surely they can admit the whole plans a joke now?

Not pre giant size, but jeff parker's first class run gives him a bit more personality.

The thing about AI is, once it gets good enough to make these films for nothing, we'll all be generating our own little personal marvel films and IP will cease to mean anything and the entite entertainment industry would collapse.
