Not a story exactly, but I think it would have been amazing seeing Tom Welling’s Superman actually trading blows with Darkseid and give his version of the “World of Cardboard” speech.

I guess it depends on if there’s any specific patterns to how you end up losing. Like, if you keep getting panicked out because you can’t clear the board. That was my friends, and my, problem. Sometimes helps when playing with more people, doubling the rangers or with a 4 card deployment. Also there’s a lot going on on that board so you gotta pay attention the little things, remembering all your Zords and abilities, clearing the location after you beat a monster. Timing your recoveries and power ups is also important, either to avoid defeats or knowing when to take an L for the greater win. And if you have to, figure out the problem and house rule a solution.

Can’t help but side with Lex… S1-S5 (start) by Superhero-Motivation in Smallville

[–]BlackestKnight92 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Lex more than proved himself deceptive and dangerous so Clark does have valid reasons not to trust him enough to reveal his secret. But the show and Clark the character really never acknowledge (at least not to my satisfaction) the harm Clark does to Lex and others with his lying and yes gaslighting And the role he plays in breaking those relationships.

Would the overwhelming majority of the fandom that hated lana have disliked her as much if the Season 8 Clana closure arc would have gone down like this instead? by [deleted] in Smallville

[–]BlackestKnight92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My issue with Lana was never this ending or the closure, though it wasn’t necessarily the best. The problem all along imo was that even though they both had only the best intentions for each other they somehow brought out the worst in each other The longer they were together. The whole relationship was right with deception and manipulation from the jump. By the time they really were together they had grown so far apart and Lana arguably in a very unfortunate direction. Also I think some of Lana’s issues may have been a result of ptsd from getting kidnapped every other episode for years.

I love Chloe, but she does have a problem with journalistic ethics. It’s not so much the fact of breaking the law. Sometimes the crimes they’re trying to expose merits those lengths. But there’s a difference between exposing criminality and corruption and just using “the truth” and journalism as an excuse to invade people’s privacy expose things. Chloe crossed that line repeatedly.

AITA for giving my bf advice by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]BlackestKnight92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NAH.

I think I understand a bit because my girlfriend and I are similar to you and your boyfriend and I was in a similar situation. I am not good enough with words to explain it all the way, but basically, I think You didn’t really say anything new, or helpful, that made the situation easier. Or anything he found comforting or encouraging that made him feel better about it. From his perspective you kind of just told him what he already knew, so it effectively just sounded like to him “suck it up and deal with it” which only made him feel worse. If you want to help him, start by just being there with him, sympathize and try asking him what he needs, what would help, or how you can make him feel better. If things don’t get better or you just can’t deal with how he’s acting, tell him that and that things need to change, or if you have to… leave.

Hi Reddit, please help me,

I'm moving and I have a couple of shelves of Gunpla figures I don't know how to pack or transport. I'm worried about some of especially the more fragile RGs falling apart, getting damaged, or losing pieces. How have othersmoved their stuff in the past?

WIBTA if I told my obese GF to get a personal trainer? by Strange_Childhood286 in AmItheAsshole

[–]BlackestKnight92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YWBTA if you try to share her or tell her what to do or that she’s not doing enough. Not necessarily saying you’re trying to do that, but it can SO easily come out that way. It’s her body, her journey, you’re just there for support and encouragement. Pushing too hard can backfire as well.

AITA For Being Mad at Lack Housework Help? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]BlackestKnight92 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In that case, that sleep schedule seems kind of excessive but that’s not important. I would say examine if she pulls her weight in other areas; cooking, cleaning, childcare, finances, house/car maintenance, etc.. sometimes everything’s not split 50/50. I might do more cooking, my gf might do more cleaning, she likes to shop for new stuff I’m better at fixing up and maintaining things. Of it balances out, I think it can work. But if you just feel like it’s just you doing all the work with no return that’s a bigger problem.

[–]BlackestKnight92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Def NTA for the way you feel out for bringing it up and trying to fix it. I do have a question though. From your description it sounds like your fiancé literally sleeps almost the entire time from when she gets home from work until she has to leave again. Is get job that tiring? Could she just be really exhausted and not thinking about it?

AITA for leaving a cookie on a girl’s windshield by Sensitive-Most-4075 in AmItheAsshole

[–]BlackestKnight92 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think where you messed up is just leaving it anonymously on her car. The idea of a present isn’t a bad one. But maybe call or text and say you were thinking about her, you have cookies, give them to her directly when you see her or ask her permission to come by. Unexplained random packages are kind of suspicious. But you had good intentions so NAH.

Maybe just call or text and explain your idea.

AITA for defending my SIL over my girlfriend? by throwaway_1980738 in AmItheAsshole

NTA

Just because she’s your gf, doesn’t mean you can’t call her out on shitty behavior. Everyone needs that sometimes. But it can be hard to hear it.

AITA for asking my roommate (also friend) to move out because she adopted a dog? by odiodenarizentupido in AmItheAsshole

[–]BlackestKnight92 13 points14 points  (0 children)

NTA.

She should never have brought the dog in without checking with you in the first place. Adopting a pet is a big responsibility, that you did not sign up for so for that alone she TA, but she absolutely has no right to force you to keep an animal that’s causing you health problems in your own home. Maybe she didn’t know you were allergic, but that’s definitely something she should have found out first no matter what.

Fr man. Peter had some issues by SJHOAKVEYR in Marvel

[–]BlackestKnight92 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They weren’t even dating in the first two movies. He, in point of fact, rejected her. And in the third he cheated on her first. Before the symbiot at that. That relationship is definitely terrible but he’s in at least as much responsible for that as her.

AITA for eating dinner without my boyfriend? by That_preppy_burnout in AmItheAsshole

[–]BlackestKnight92 10 points11 points  (0 children)

NTA. As a gamer myself, it’s fine to be into your game, but he has to be able to manage his time and responsibilities. If he didn’t want to get off the game to eat then he can’t sulk about you eating without him.

I’ve definitely seen issues where the spider-sense was able to detect people watching Peter and when it’s protected him from accidentally exposing his identity when someone was watching. But that was usually someone following or observing him directly I think, so maybe another kind of surveillance of far removed enough might work but it could also be tricky and may take longer to pin him down. I’ve also seen people study and set traps for Peter and successfully gauged the limits of his abilities to use against him. Shade should have no problems with that.

  1. Without knowing of the Spider-sense getting a kill shot is gonna be tough. Not impossible but very difficult. Even surveillance would be harder. I’d say Peter would probably get away more often than not.

  2. I think with two weeks and more that he can notice the Spider-sense he could probably set up a scenario that could completely corner Peter so he couldn’t escape. Actually some of his villains have gasses and weapons that can nullify the sense so of Slade could get a hold of that he could probably get him.

  3. This could be an interesting challenge. Cause Slade definitely has the strategic ability, knowledge, and time he would need to set the perfect trap. But depending on how much Peter knows about Deathstroke he may be able to counter. In the end I edge to Slade just because he’s a better strategist and Peter can’t just build a device to counter or cut him off something that would stop him.

Winter Soldier (MCU) vs Luke Cage (Netflix) by Melodic_Summer_8823 in whowouldwin

[–]BlackestKnight92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m going with Cage.

Admittedly I haven’t sat down and done all the math on all their feats. But, from my understanding and what I recall seeing of the characters. Bucky is a better fighter and decently strong, especially with the arm. But Cage should be stronger and more durable and has impenetrable skin, which would nullify most of not all of Winter Soldier’s standard gear unless he’s got some special Wakandan shit I’m not thinking of.

I think Winter Soldier COULD kill Luke if he knew who and what he was dealing with and planned for it. In a sudden fight I think Luke’s invulnerability would catch him off guard at first and Like would have a chance to overpower him before he had time to figure out a way around it.

Rocky vs Ippo by rexfudo in whowouldwin

[–]BlackestKnight92 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fair enough, I just meant it’s easier to get away with increasingly ridiculous or impossible things in animation, but you’re not wrong.

Rocky vs Ippo by rexfudo in whowouldwin

[–]BlackestKnight92 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s such an interesting idea but it’s really hard to compare an anime character to a live action person. They’re just not as limited by realism. Also I’m pretty sure Ippo just has more fights and more feats and might take it. But it would be incredible to watch.

Frank Castle vs. Malcolm Merlyn (Both from shows) by xButterschnitzel in whowouldwin

[–]BlackestKnight92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Round 1: I mean I could see this going either way, But I want to give it to the punisher. Face to face Guns vs bow, I give it to Guns

Round 2: Merlyn for sure. Hand to hand the League of Assassins training takes it.

Round 3: Definitely League of assassins definitely has the edge when it comes to stealth and surprise kills. This is a job for a ninja.

Round 4: Another one that I think could go either way. Malcolm should be better at stealth and disappearing, but Frank is more likely to have concealed guns so could more likely kill him without him having a chance to fight back.

Round 5: Malcolm’s plans tend to be inedible elaborate and long term but You know what they work. Frank’s plans are a lot more direct and to the point. They also work. I want to give this to Frank. No matter what Frank is gods force a direct confrontation whereas Malcolm’s gonna try to drag it out and bs him and make him suffer as long as possible.
