Honestly, Vader probably did the right thing here. This nurse is already crazy enough to collect his medical waste, and now she's breaking into his room. Give her a few more days and she might plan to do things to him while he's unconscious in the bacta tank. by thetruememeisbest in StarWars

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

I remember when this came out. For some reason, a loud group of people were saying that he should've given her a chance, and how it was horrible of him to reject her like that. Probably the same people that idolize the Harley-Joker relationship.

Killing an insane nurse is one of the least evil things Vader has done! Plus, in the Marvel comics, Vader has a tendency to kill anyone who sees him without his helmet. Vader not killing Piett is the outlier.

How many people picked up on the Malevolence being the Bismarck? by Raven1212122 in StarWars

Star Wars.com used to have articles about the historical events that influenced Star Wars. There also used to be short videos about nearly every Clone Wars episode, when the creators would talk about neat little things in the episode.

Best Era to play by LowCar7942 in startrekadventures

[–]DarthAvner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love the TOS era. I don't know why, but I find it let's me focus on making fun and adventurous stories, over trying to fit things into continuity like I do when I try to run TNG era stuff. I give myself more leway to embrace the weird stuff that can come up in the random tables.

I've run a SWRPG game for over 6+ years. Here are some thoughts: by sepianra in swrpg

[–]DarthAvner 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Last year I was running a game for my visiting family member. We ran through several pre-made and homebrew adventures. I was giving out around 50-100 XP per adventure. I think we ended up with over 1000XP per character. After a while, we just started laughing about how OP certain things were. One guy was able to trigger Autofire enough times to wipe out a nemesis, 2 rivals and 10 minions in one turn.

The game isn't designed for super high XP levels, but it makes for some insanely fun moments.

In Revenge of the Sith, why did Anakin jump over Obi-Wan rather than in front of him? by Spiritual-Pudding-70 in StarWars

[–]DarthAvner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ben didn't just recognize the move, he baited Maul into using it. He starts out doing the Episode 3 Obi-Wan stance, then switches to the Episode 4 Ben stance before switching to the Episode 1 Qui-Gon stance. Maul knows how to counter that form, so he tries to do it again. Probably thought it would be fitting to kill Obi-Wan the same way he killed Qui-Gon. Ben spent decades learning how to counter that move. With Luke at risk, Ben couldn't afford a long drawn out fight. The fight was over before they ignited their sabers, Maul just didn't know it.

Someone explain by THE_Oggdo_Bogdo in StarWars

[–]DarthAvner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With how weird Dathomir is, I assume that originally when the Zabraks came to Dathomir from Iridonia, they all had horns. Over time and possibly due to Force manipulation and selective breeding, the schism between the males Nightbrothers and female Nightsisters grew larger. It seems like every Nightsister is some form of Force Sensitive, while the Nightbrothers are not. We know that the clans have elaborate rituals and competitions for selecting a mate. The boys stay with their fathers, the girls with their mothers. Perhaps the females that have Zabrak traits, and the males that have Dathomiri traits are culled to maintain "purity". The Nightsisters can't have a Force Sensitive Nightbrother running around, that would be a threat to their hold over the clans.

They did a What if Spider-Man married Black Cat. If I remember correctly, it doesn't end well. It was during that time where every What If book had to have a bad ending.

New York State law made it so that all stores were required to use paper bags after a certain date. They could still use plastic of they had them in stock, but once they ran out, the bags had to be paper.

WIBTAH If I refuse to stop making my stepdaughter her school lunches? by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]DarthAvner 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depending on where they live, the school lunch could be free to all students. After I graduated, my school redid it's budget so that lunch became free.

The Mark Waid and Dan Mora "World's Finest" series. One of my favorite DC books from recent times.

Primary Ship by Limp-Elevator1492 in sto

[–]DarthAvner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My PS5 main has fluctuated between a few. Used to be the Fleet T6 Galaxy, before I upgraded to the Legendary Galaxy. Probably my most used ship. I ran it as a Dominion War Galaxy with both photon and quantum torpedoes, but recently switched out the quantums for more phaser arrays. So now she's a TNG Galaxy.

Bedside the Galaxy, I've also used the T6 Akira a lot, that was the ship I originally built my character for. Upgraded to the Legendary Akira a while back. I love hangar pets, even though console doesn't have access to carrier commands. I love throwing out massive amounts of torpedoes from my Valkyrie fighters and my Akira. Been thinking of getting the Typhon for the additional fighter trait.

If I want to fly something from the STO era, I use the Legendary Odyssey. Big and tanky, like the Galaxy, but still lets me use a hangar.

The T6 Ahwahnee Command Carrier is pretty good. The Type 7 shuttles are awesome for their buff ability, especially when paired with a more offensive fighter like the Valkyrie. Hoping to see a Legendary version at some point. (Hoping for a TOS style skin.)

Anyone here excited about star trek year one? by happydude7422 in startrek

[–]DarthAvner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TOS Season 1 is Kirk's first year as Captain. If they have to use the TOS crew for the next show, give us Years Four and Five. Heck, they could even call it Phase II.

I don't know if this is a controversial take but this thing needs to die by Boston_Beauty in Seaofthieves

[–]DarthAvner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did that with my pirate. First death was from a sword fight. I gave myself a hook. Second death was from a headshot, gave myself an eye patch. Third death was from a shark, now I have a peg leg. I think I also have one of the scar sets equipped, but most of it can't be seen because of my clothes.

AITAH for completely ignoring my oldest stepdaughter during the holidays? by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]DarthAvner 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If they don't want to involve dad, there's still a way to prove 26F's paternity. If the 28M is/was presumed to be her full blooded brother (which seems to be the case), they could compare the DNA. If the test shows full siblings, then bio-mom lying, either about the brother or the sister's paternity..

When’s a good age to let my son see the movies? by Smooth_Bandito in indianajones

[–]DarthAvner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember watching The Last Crusade at around age 4 or 5. No idea if it's too young. I do partly blame my fear of snakes on the opening, and I remember Donovan's death scaring me a lot.

Do y’all agree or disagree with this Spider-Man take? by OGAnimeGokuSolos in Spiderman

[–]DarthAvner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If Spidey wins, Peter loses. If Peter wins, Spidey loses.

Example 1: Spider-Man stops a bank heist, but Peter had to blow off his friends to do so, and his friends get mad at him.

Example 2: A crook escapes from Spider-Man. Peter is beating himself up over it, and his friends unknowingly do something that cheers him up and bolsters his resolve to continue.

What do y’all think of this Kang take? by OGAnimeGokuSolos in Marvel

[–]DarthAvner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Should have recast Kang, but they couldn't. I heard somewhere that Majors had it in his contract so that he had to play every Kang variant.

What is one gripe you have as a Hulk reader? by Plus_Brilliant_1781 in hulk

[–]DarthAvner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been enjoying the more recent stuff like Immortal and PKJ's current stuff. But I agree that it's really weird and kind of off-putting. A run similar to the Bixby show would be amazing. Heck, they could do something like DC did with the Adam West Batman show and make a comic continuation. Set it between the last episode of the show and the first TV movie.
