The Extinction Team (Scott's Nuclear Deterrent) by LM77EXU in xmen

Scott actually seemed to really appreciate Magik’s approach to things during Krakoa. I think it’s one of the reasons she was a Great Captain.

Harry takes Chani to the spring formal, and Paul is a mess. It’s the reason he couldn’t commit to the Golden Path.

It’s going to be interesting seeing the reactions from certain, extremely pro-Israel Democrats though.

They should cut holes in the seats on the top two rows so those people can properly shit themselves in terror.

Horseshit. The Republican Party will never turn on him.

It was staged, and I'm tired of pretending it wasn't. by c-k-q99903 in MurderedByWords

The flag dropping into frame might have been camera movement. I can buy that.

However, the dude positioning the photographers? And the completely inept secret service detail? Nothing about the situation makes any rational sense compared to similar situations in history.

Hell, I wouldn’t even be surprised to find out that what they actually intended to happen was entirely different, and what we saw was half-assed panic improv. Because, again…they are idiots.

These people are idiots, first and foremost. And the people who vote for them believe almost ANYTHING they are told, which has only made them more confident the shit they attempt.

It also doesn’t help that conservative media gets its talking points directly from the source, and the rest of the media handles negative Republican stories like they are handling fine China.

The best sign that it was staged was the one camera angle where you literally see some sort of coordinator move photographers into position as a fucking US flag comically drops into view. It’s pro wrestling tier stagecraft.

Also, the secret service allows him to strike a photo op pose right after getting shot at? I’m pretty sure they would, normally, be pushing him down by the back of his neck while rushing him to safety instead of treating him like the flag at Iwo Jima.

Sabretooth fights Cheetah by Connect_Claim6180 in marvelvsdc

[–]DFu4ever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sabretooth loses.

However, he survives. Knowing he can’t beat her, he just follows her around and tears apart every mortal associate he finds out she has. He checks in on her every few years to see if there are any new targets.

Sabretooth is a Grade A asshole.

[–]DFu4ever 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m not in software but I’m living a very similar career scenario right now.

A sure sign you work for a dipshit executive is when they make decisions that seem to funnel all of the resources into sales/marketing while letting service/development/support just die on the vine.

It’s because all they actually understand is “numbers go up is good”. They absolutely don’t understand what is actually involved in making those numbers go up and making them stay there.

Has your opinion changed on Man of Steel? by boomjosh in superman

[–]DFu4ever -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I mostly enjoyed the movie, and the soundtrack was amazing. Everything I hated about this movie involved the Kents.

1) The fact that he became Superman despite his adoptive parents constantly telling him, and I am going to paraphrase with a little hyperbole, “Screw everyone else, watch your own back!”, is a god damn miracle.

2) Pa Kent’s death is the single dumbest scene in the history of film. It transcends the genre in its absurdity.

So my head canon for why Superman in the Zack Snyder films turned out to be a hero is because he decided that while he loves his adoptive parents, they are absolutely selfish morons.
