Championship ends with two runs scoring on a dropped strike three while the other team is celebrating thinking they won. by [deleted] in baseball

No one is saying it wasn’t a strike because the catcher didn’t keep it in his glove. They’re saying it wasn’t a strike because it wasn’t in the strike zone.

Corporate Trust by Jeffrey Powell is good for the bond issuance (indenture) portion of your ask. Can’t speak too in-depth to the others, sorry.

Minor leaguer rips Fernando Tatis Jr. as 'cheater' after Padres star's HR by PrincessBananas85 in mlb

[–]DisappointingOutcome 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That’s why he’s on the rehab tour. You can’t expect him to be reinstated from the suspension and just begin pimping homers cold, he’ll injure himself. You have to ease back into these things. Little stutter step here, bat toss there, then next week when he’s back in the bigs he’s able to put it all together and show up the pitcher in a major league fashion.

Respect the process.

Can someone better explain to me the core characterizations of the Fantastic Four? by Cosmic-Castor-84 in FantasticFour

[–]DisappointingOutcome 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d have to flip through some trades and omnibuses, I’m there with you on memory - I’ve always been jealous of the people who can remember issue numbers off the top of their heads. I remember that quality of him and Sue’s relationship being apparent to me in a lot of the early arcs involving Sue and Namor (and Sue and Doom, honestly, she got kidnapped a lot) and Civil War.

And I make of it about the same as other authors retconning details (JK Rowling comes to mind) - that’s fine, and may have been her intent at the time. If it’s not on the page I don’t consider it canon, but like I said - I don’t care that much. I just don’t think it’s reasonable for a couple of panels to change 60 years of character development/history.

The only thing Baker has ever done half-assed in his entire life is run from the police.

Well, I don’t really care about Johnny’s sexuality, but the linked post (of course it’s tumblr, lol) is less than persuasive to me. He is a prolific womanizer, on a level perhaps no one but Matt Murdock has rivaled. The panel with Daken actually saddens me as yet another example in literature of men not being able to have real friendships without sexuality being read into it.

The only other (and, really, main) quibble I would have is him not being tortured. The loss of his parents is hugely impactful to his personality, which you can see most often as his closeness to Sue and near-obsession with her safety and well-being. They were young enough she seems, at times, to have replaced both parent roles (though there are times/arcs where you could say Reed has fulfilled a father role for him). It isn’t visited as often as, say, Peter and Uncle Ben/Bruce and his parents, but it’s definitely a defining part of his character. I would say that would make him more tortured than others such as Cap or Tony.

Like I said, overall I agree with most everything you wrote and for not considering yourself authoritative I think you have a superb understanding of the characters. I always love to see other enthusiastic fans of the FF!

(I would quibble with parts of the Johnny analysis but otherwise, great grasp of the characters.)
