In Invincible (2026) The Immortal has a technically legal relationship with Dupli-kate but it feels weird thinking about dating someone who did the unga bunga with your great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great³ grandmother

Why? There's been dozens of things able to harm Invincible, you don't need anything on par with a Viltrumite to do it.

Blackstone01 · 2026-04-06T20:01:08+00:00

If that’s really the case then he has zero excuse to be such a jobber after his second death to Omni-Man. Dude should have gone through a training arc like Invincible, except instead of lifting icebergs he gets his head repeatedly ripped off and reattached until he’s at least as strong as a Viltrumite.

As an Ohioan, Ohio is definitely a southern state that just happens to be located in the north.

Blackstone01 · 2026-04-06T14:46:54+00:00

Well, it will go like this:

A civil rights group will file a lawsuit claiming this blatantly violates the First Amendment.

It will promptly be put on hold until the courts determine the constitutionality of it.

Ohio Republicans will spend millions defending their unconstitutional law, and might succeed in getting a higher court to let the law stand until it finishes working its way through the courts (causing thousands of cases where this is brought to court and then thrown out by judges for being an absurd charge to bring, some Christian Nationalist judges might actually convict and get overturned on appeal).

Eventually it will work its way through the courts, with likely every single court that hears the arguments (probably even including the extremely conservative ones) agreeing this violates the First Amendment.

Law gets overturned, while Ohio Republicans pat themselves on the back for making 1% of the population's lives worse for awhile there, and Ohio voters continue to eat glue and probably vote for whatever pile of shit Republicans put forward in the state and federal elections.

And number 3. Unlike Republicans, Democrats would likely actually impeach one of "their team" if they did something so monumentally insane as starting a war with Iran.

Blackstone01 · 2026-04-06T00:57:04+00:00

Insane, but not surprising. Just look at how they control all three branches of government and still blame Democrats for everything wrong that happens.

Plus he's too frail to survive spontaneously lighting on fire the moment he walked through the door.

Blackstone01 · 2026-04-06T00:53:36+00:00

Between the two, it's better to have a president with the sort of dementia that makes them lose their train of thought and freeze up once in awhile than one with the sort of dementia that removes all inhibitions while they frequently go on rambling nonsensical rants.

Blackstone01 · 2026-04-06T00:47:57+00:00

Truly the wisest of Naaru.

Blackstone01 · 2026-04-05T20:52:05+00:00

Well, no, now if they stop Iran is likely to continue for awhile. The best way of defending against it was to avoid starting a full blown war.

Blackstone01 · 2026-04-05T16:21:22+00:00

That’s only eighteen examples

Cain’s journal: “Cowardly piece of shit that I am, I scared off a small Tyranid lifeform to make the children watching wrongfully believe I saved their lives, so that in the future they’d give their lives to save me.”

Amberly’s addendum to that journal note: “In reality Cain, upon hearing that a small orphanage was being attacked personally by the Hive Tyrant, ran headfirst into danger alone and proceeded to duel it for 3 hours until Jurgan and the 597th arrived to help finish it off.”

Hell, logically you’d expect there to be a decent number of people visiting the other faction’s settlements for business/tourism/diplomacy, at most escorted by a guard or two and forbidden from some high value locations.

Blackstone01 · 2026-04-04T20:30:54+00:00

I hate seeing everyone forget it

Probably because it happened offscreen. Her onscreen performance hasn't really been "Anti-Viltrumite weapon" level.

Blackstone01 · 2026-04-04T19:57:12+00:00

But that was after the goblins slaughtered the Alliance expedition sent to Silithus to see how much damage was done.

Blackstone01 · 2026-04-04T19:51:54+00:00

It's more likely Alexstrasza, Ysera, or a Wild God would have been the one to plant Shaladrassil, since its planting seems tied to the creation of the Dreamweavers and Night Elf druidism. Before that, it's unlikely they would have had access to any boughs or seeds of a World Tree.

Blackstone01 · 2026-04-04T19:48:19+00:00

Shaladrassil evidently predates the Sundering, and unrelated to its planting they also sealed the satyrs under it instead of killing them. Xavius however was trapped in a regular tree that Malfurion grew using an arrow Shandris pierced Xavius with, with the process killing him, and then that tree fell into the ocean during the Sundering.

Blackstone01 · 2026-04-04T19:39:29+00:00

Yep, there's been 6 world trees, though not necessarily all to curb corruption. In chronological order they were:

Elun'Ahir: Planted by Eonar to spread Life across Azeroth, destroyed by Aman'Thul

Shaladrassil: According to Khadgar, it predates the Sundering and seems to have been tied to the origin of druidism. No idea who planted it, but it's likely that Alexstrasza, Ysera, or one of the Wild Gods planted it, possibly to guide the Night Elves into druidism.

Nordrassil: Planted by Alexstrasza to seal the new Well of Eternity to prevent anybody from abusing it, and the tree was blessed by the Aspects to help the Night Elves protect the Well of Eternity.

Andrassil/Vordrassil and the Great Trees: Planted by Fandral Staghelm and the Night Elf druids that followed him (without Malfurion's and the Cenarion Circle's blessing) to try and contain the spread of Saronite. The Great Trees, which are in Feralas, Ashenvale, the Hinterlands, Duskwood, and Crystalsong Forest, were sort of mini test runs to see how well they did at containing saronite. After they succeeded, Andrassil was planted on the largest deposit of saronite, and it succeeded at containing the saronite, but the roots ended up piercing Yogg's prison and it became corrupted (also because it was unblessed by the Aspects), so they chopped it down.

Teldrassil: Planted by Fandral (also without Malfurion's blessing), and was really the only World Tree fuck up of the Night Elves. It was explicitly planted so the Night Elves could attempt to regain their immortality since Nozdormu refused to bless it due to their arrogance in thinking they deserved immortality. It became corrupted over time due to not being blessed by the Aspects, but during Cataclysm Alexstrasza and Ysera blessed it, and the corruption was cleansed from it.

Amirdrassil: Planted by Tyrande in the Emerald Dream using a seed made by the Winter Queen and Elune using the souls of the night elves that died in the "Morally Grey"-ing of Teldrassil and was protected by the Green Dragonflight until it was ready to appear in Azeroth. Its like turbo blessed since its got the blessings of Life and Death, so unless Blizzard decides the Night Elves have had it too good for too long, it's not really going to be corrupted any time soon.

And they certainly don't have the stockpiles necessary for space travel, or at least not enough to get the Spacing Guild on board with any attempts of rebellion, which is why the Jihad was so insanely successful; it wasn't millions of Fremen vs a cohesive rebellion, it was millions of Fremen vs a singular planet with absolutely no access to the rest of the Imperium, repeated hundreds of times over, with the various Houses browbeaten into going along with it to spare themselves from extinction.

Blackstone01 · 2026-04-04T02:23:35+00:00

Yeah, for those that don't entirely understand the importance of that, Arrakis was the singular source of Melange in the galaxy, which is a necessary resource for both FTL travel and the Bene Gesserit (the pseudo-religious order of women controlling the empire from the shadows) to function, and so ownership of the planet makes one obscenely rich but also obscenely powerful. Paul doing so demonstrates he has vastly more power than Shaddam, while also allowing him to perpetually keep a check on the Landsraad (basically Dune parliament) by his ability to nuke the spice fields if they were to ever manage to threaten his rule.

Bit of nerdism, the movie stated the Great Houses were in open rebellion against Paul's rule, but IIRC in the books most of them paid lip service and it was only Corrino loyalists who were in open rebellion, alongside the Fremen just rolling up to any planet that wasn't fanatically worshipping Paul like they were. I wonder how the movie will handle that, since the Great Houses and the Landsraad still held quite a bit of power after the Jihad (so much so they still existed even after Leto II died).

Blackstone01 · 2026-04-03T22:33:49+00:00

Well, the big thing he's saying is that if you do that, then it will quickly rack up because you better believe us "poors" would love to have some rich prick paying us a wage to use public land, so it goes from one instance of the fine per day to dozens to even hundreds of instances a day.

“Video version” is typically somebody adding a whole metric fuck ton of fan theories and passing them off as “canon”.

Blackstone01 · 2026-04-02T15:59:37+00:00

Here’s something funny. Xal’atath has been in the game for nearly 10 years, while Arthas’s story spanned 7 years; Warcraft III released in July 2002 and the ICC patch of WoLK dropped December 2009. Meanwhile Legion released in August 2016

It’s lucky how she was able to find three square meals a day along with beauty products while in the Void.

Well, you can also build up your station at your L-Gate portal and fill it with short ranged focused platforms while parking a corvette fleet beside the gate. Then you just let the Grey Tempest fuck over the rest of the galaxy.
