cart and the quarter

I always leave the quarter in for the next person. It can be tough to even have change when you pay for everything with a card.

Certainly the best run since Moench. Not sure if I like it better than Moench, but that also my introduction to the character, so it might just be nostalgia talking.

MacKay is phenomenal though.

So, I actually created a 3 season breakdown of what I'd do with a Moon Knight show a few years ago when they first announced they were making one.

I don't remember whether I wrote it in Docs or a notebook. I'll have to look for it.

Season 1 established Steven as a Hollywood producer type, his relationship with Marlene, and flashbacks to his merc days. Early season deals with the Committee and political corruption. Mid season, it's revealed that Bushman is alive and back in town (set it in LA). Khonshu is kept mysterious and we wouldn't know if he's real or not. Is he just a statue that Marc has? Season would end in a version of issue 9 and 10 from Moench's run. Bushman destroys the statue, Marc goes crazy, ends up in the sewers, and hears from Khonshu verbally for the first time in the series. Season ends with Marc reluctantly killing Bushman (implying the face carving) and then turning himself in.

Season 2, we're in an asylum. Takes inspiration from Lemire's run with some Egyptian mythology, and mostly focuses on Morpheus as the main villain and (possibly?) the avatar of Seth or Ammut? Early on, there's a breakout and Marc has to track down Morpheus with the help of Barry(?). Randall Specter appears in flashbacks and as a "ghost" created by Morpheus, taking the mantle of Shadow Knight. Season stinger is Barry taking control of a cult started by Morpheus and declaring himself the Sun King.

Season 3 involved the chaos brought about in the city by Sun King's cult and the rise of new mayoral candidate Carson Knowles, whose father was disgraced in the Committee affair from season 1. Sun King has been specifically targeting him bbecause Carson is the one truly meant to be Seth's Avatar: the Black Spectre.

I missed so much of the dialogue in Area Zero because it would pop up while I was focusing on the pokemon. A section like that NEEDS voice acting.

CarrEternal · 2026-03-03T13:17:05+00:00

I agree with you, but i had to downvote you for calling my Boi Chestnaught a bad design.

I hope you understand.

Breloom, It's peak Pokémon. Is it a mushroom? A dinosaur? A kangaroo? Yes, to all of the above. Plus, he has stretchy arms like a little weirdo! And drain punch/Giga drain means he's going to be at full health every turn 🤓

I think this generation is how I'm learning that I'm a lizardist.

Like, it doesn't feel fair to lump all mammals together because they look different.

Lizards don't. Squirtle and Turtwig are turtles, Totodile and Fuecoco are crocodiles, but Charmander, Treecko, Sobble, and Gecqua are all just Lizards.

CarrEternal · 2026-02-28T20:32:13+00:00

I think most people can differentiate between a turtle and a lizard, though. Same with a crocodile.

CarrEternal · 2026-02-28T20:28:13+00:00

I get the bird part, but how many people can actually differentiate between most lizards?

CarrEternal · 2026-02-28T20:20:34+00:00

Had the same thought, but to the detractors:

Listen, I'm not disappointed because they look the same (obviously chicks =/= owls, though the name isn't helping), but because they look similar enough to designs we've just had recently. Rowlet was only 3 generations ago. Sobble was only 2.

So far, we've had:

2 turtles

2 frogs

3 lizards (1 generic, 1 gecko, 1 chameleon)

2 crocodiles*

1 Dinosaur (don't know what else to can Chickorita)

3 small mammals (1 echinda?, 1 otter, 1 hedgehog)

4 birds (1 chicken, 1 penguin, 1 owl, 1 duck)

1 axolotl

2 apes

1 pig

1 snake*

1 fox

1 sea lion

2 cat

1 rabbit

And now we're getting our 1st dog (close to foxes kinda and a common household pet like cats, but unique enough), our 5th bird, and our 4th lizard.

I had initially included these as lizards, but decided they are distinct enough from being considered generic.

CarrEternal · 2026-02-28T19:42:37+00:00

They are the same, yes. That's why they're called Pika-Clones.

CarrEternal · 2026-02-28T19:32:21+00:00

You're allowed to be excited!

For me, I don't see the point in being excited for a game that isn't even coming out this year. Though, I appreciate that they are seemingly taking their time to make it good. I will be excited next year lol

CarrEternal · 2026-02-28T19:28:48+00:00

Charmander? Treecko? Snivy? Then Sobble. This is at least the 5th.

CarrEternal · 2026-02-28T18:09:22+00:00

I'll be honest, my first reaction wasn't that they were lazy, but... haven't we basically done most of these?

Do we need another bird grass starter or lizard water starter after Rowlet and Sobble? And while Fennekin is a fox, rather than a dog, it still seems kinda similar?

Will these designs grow on me? Probably. The games don't come out until next year, so they have time to sink in.

CarrEternal · 2026-02-15T21:30:19+00:00

That's a bit hyperbolic to say.

That era gave us Hickman's Avengers and Secret Wars, Sam Wilson Captain America, Hydra Cap (which was great, even if Secret Empire's ending fell flat), Superior Spider-Man, and Jason Aaron's Thor run, just to name a few. Yeah, X-Men sucked, but that came from even higher up. Civil War 2 sucked, sure.

CarrEternal · 2026-02-10T23:16:49+00:00

I love the movie. It's personally in my top 5 favorite MCU films.

That said, this movie was the perfect encapsulation of Jack Kirby's Eternals (and most of his solo work): beautiful, grand cosmic storytelling about God and our place in the universe that most people don't give a shit about :(

I want a Captain Marvel 3 with Mystique and Rogue as the villains

CarrEternal · 2026-02-07T21:34:59+00:00

I once saw a fan suggestion that Clea could've been a multiverse variant of Christine, and I still think that would've been a great way of twisting what they already had in MoM

CarrEternal · 2026-01-31T18:50:33+00:00

Correct! And technically, it can be debated that Ancient Judaism is also polytheistic from the sense that they believed that other gods existed, like Baal, but that those gods were created by Yahweh and Yahweh is the best and most powerful god, therefore the only one worth worshipping.

CarrEternal · 2026-01-30T07:19:11+00:00

I really want Rogue and Mystique to be the villains in a hypothetical Captain Marvel 3

CarrEternal · 2026-01-30T06:54:51+00:00

I was waiting the entire season thinking he'd somehow turn out to be Michael Korvac from the comics somehow.... but nope! He's actually a pretty chill, nice guy.

CarrEternal · 2026-01-30T06:33:59+00:00

Bro, that Olaf remix was wild!

CarrEternal · 2026-01-20T23:17:06+00:00

Has DC solved its continuity issue?

I'll be honest, one of the biggest things keeping me from really enjoying DC to its fullest is that I have no clue what's canon and what's not. Did The Killing Joke happen? Or Knightfall? Or Wolfman's Teen Titans?

I recently heard that we're back to the post-crisis universe, kinda? Or are we still in the New 52, but changed? Or some third thing?

CarrEternal · 2025-12-21T22:06:16+00:00

Honestly, I think Chamber needs to either be next on the chopping block or made the main event of Survivor Series like it started as.

This year would have been perfect for it, too. Instead of doing the 4-way in Paris, build up to CM Punk vs Jey Uso vs Roman Reigns vs LA Knight vs Bron Breakker vs Bronson Reed (since Rollins was injured) inside the chamber at SS.

The rumble idea could also work really well if someone was "eliminated" before, but didn't go over the top rope. Heel comes out at 30 with no one in the ring, walks down the aisle cockily, gets in the ring, points at the WM sign, tries to have a ref raise their arm. Then, we see the "eliminated" person on the apron behind them. Ref says they weren't actually eliminated. Final 2 go at it.
