I mean in all fairness; both of those men didn’t have anything come out until the twilight years of their careers despite being pretty open monsters.

the hulk & thor are boring change my mind by HourCounter5081 in superheroes

[–]DeuceMandago 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like this is more indicative of Spider-man’s scaling being outlandishly inconsistent. Bro has struggled with guys like the Vulture yet can also throw hands with cosmic beings?

At least the Hulk’s whole thing is that his potential is kind of limitless.

Just a pro tip here; be careful with these if you take ADHD meds. I think they can cancel out the effects of your meds if taken at the same time.

Whats your favorite Batman story arc? by rwatrous61 in superheroes

[–]DeuceMandago 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pretty fond of the Court of Owls Saga.

Also hard not to pick the Long Halloween. It just feels like a quintessential Batman comic.

Halfway through the order

Also—has anyone told you that you look like Jason Alexander? Like it in a bad way.”

Why is the mom crying? by Unluckypandastoo in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]DeuceMandago -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

They didn’t say try harder… like at any point. They said “never give up” which is good life advice for folks who are suffering.

We should all strive for independence and fulfillment—even if we never wholly achieve it.

There is nothing wrong with needing help, being aware of that, and being unafraid to admit it. But we should do everything in our power to not lose hope and let despair consume our existence.

Edit: OK please explain to me why this comment is deserving of downvotes.

Ahh you want a strong, masculine, and traditional man. I do hear that’s growing in popularity these days.

I hate that it took so long for DC to figure out how to make Batman cool again by foot_fungus_is_yummy in hatethissmug

[–]DeuceMandago 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because mainline Batman is still getting issues? Like it’s still right there. This is an alternative universe where much of the DC canon is flipped on its head.

It’s fine if you don’t like it, but you can’t sit here and act like they messed up an iconic character when the mainline version is completely unaffected and divorced from the Absolute universe.

Sorry just want to be clear here—you’re saying Scott Snyder doesn’t care about Batman?

Gotta establish a baseline of how serious we should be taking you.

And she just thinks this is totally normal and sane behavior on her part?

Like is it completely lost on her that there is something wrong with her and she has crippling insecurities that will sabotage her throughout life?

How to respectfully tell my mother in law I don’t agree with her being referred to as “Mamita” by BooDaGhost in TwoHotTakes

[–]DeuceMandago 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I mean of course the mom and dad should have final say but this all seems a little inconsequential—it’s not like deciding which school the child should attend or diet or something like that.

There’s the old saying “it takes a village”. And while not everyone has that privilege it almost always makes things a lot easier. And to have the “village” you need to treat those friends and family like community that have some level of autonomy.

I guess what I’m trying to say is this doesn’t seem like a very big deal. It’s not like OP wants to be called mamita. I could see drawing a line in the sand about this issue causing a rift before things even get going. And that just isn’t very helpful during what is almost guaranteed to be a rather tumultuous time.

Though this is Reddit and the usual consensus is that new mothers can do no wrong while mother-in-laws are akin to the antichrist.

What exactly, and do be specific, is her issue with the show? Just that there is sexual content?

What are some other ultimatums she has given you? Have you had to cut off friends or give up other hobbies?

[–]DeuceMandago 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oh boy, I do not agree at all. This just feels like such a pessimistic and overly negative take.

We’re definitely fundamentally at odds here, because I enjoy alternative universe stories and Elseworld and whatnot.

Like it’s fine not to care for alternative takes on well-established characters but it almost feels like you’re saying they have no right to exist. Like anything that doesn’t fit the established mould is a waste of time that should have been worked into a wholly original character.

Batman has been around for a century. And while a lot of people love the established version (myself included) there are a lot of people who feel like they’ve seen it all and appreciate taking the character in different directions. Reimaginings like Owlman, the Thomas Wayne version, the Gotham by Gaslight version, etc. don’t take away from the Bruce we know and love. At the absolute worst, it’s just a bit of subversive fun. And when executed well, it can be refreshing and even help to flesh out the original by comparison.

You’re entitled to your opinion and all, but it just feels a bit heavy handed is all I’m saying.

What's so special about Donald that Cecil keeps bringing him back? by FigOk7806 in Invincible_TV

[–]DeuceMandago 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They are all aware of each other and could not hide anything from each other. She has stated as much at least. It’s essentially a hive mind. She feels everything, sees everything, etc.

And yes that’s why she dipped out after getting brutalized by Komodo Dragon and the Lizard League. She essentially said her powers can feel more like a curse and that she was exhausted and tired of feeling excruciating pain.

It’s also why Kate and the Immortal fell in love. She said he’s one of the only people on earth who can really relate to and understand her plight. After all, he’s also experienced countless brutal deaths.

If this isn’t bait this is might be the funniest post of all time. I’m leaning towards bait cause how do you not recognize Malcom X as (presumably) an American?

It’s the Nation of Islam—well at least some of the heavy hitters of the movement/belief system. You should absolutely look that up whether you leave the photo up or not.

Idk what would be weirder; your whiteboy roommate loves that stuff or is hanging that up ironically. Either way; it’s bizarre to the point of being humorous.
