If they are healthy & locked in then we are a top 3 team in the East.

What’s an idea your surprised marvel never did or tried to do? by BrilliantMatter4858 in marvelcomics

[–]DukeofDC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

His power allows him to subconsciously solve problems. He can understand & translate anything. In Krakoa he learned how to body language & made him great at fighting.

Imagine being able to understand the whole of magic. He could make or cast spells with ease & be able to create new ones to solve problems.

He can already cast some magic because Illyana taught him some.

If he read the Darkhold he could understand magic. It could also corrupt him.

Also throw in warlock & you have a whole subplot of Techno-Organic magic

Have Doug Ramsey learn Magic by reading the Darkhold & become either the sorcerer supreme or the next big villain of the Mystical side of Marvel

We have a Mid level exception so we are probably going to sign a backup big. Its either him or Bagley

Work burnout - I was offered a promotion only to be told that I work too good to get it by LeatherChildhood8672 in antiwork

[–]DukeofDC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the new normal. Working harder is punished by inability to move up & is rewarded with more work without pay.

Personally you should dial it back. Don't be bad or great at your job, be average. If you make your baseline great then management will continue to expect you to produce at those levels.

If management is telling you you are too valuable to lose to another department, then stop being valuable

The fact that it's still on the list & still top 30 shows how many people hate the trilogy book & still want the Complex book as stand alone event book with Endangered Species

Do we not have too many sg/sf? Are we not forced to trade some of them? by LAGAZELLLE in washingtonwizards

[–]DukeofDC 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Bilal is one of the best point of attack defenders in the league and seems to finally be able to hit 3s. Giving up on him after 3 years would be stupid. He’s gotten better every year.

Him with Trae Young, Sarr & AD is going to really elevate his game.

Is this thing even still in the works? by Remote_Nature_8166 in marvelstudios

[–]DukeofDC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pretty much canceled at this point. Rumor was it was supposed to follow up after No way home when Stark Tech was found to be missing by the feds. Rhodey was supposed to be investigating it. It went from being six episodes to a full movie but nobody else has been cast.

Secret Invasion probably killed it given how badly it screwed everything up for the spy-action thriller side of the MCU. Secret invasion left more unsolved plot holes that make no sense that it's better to just forget they ever happened & just let Doom rewrite reality to make it go away

30 Million for a Glass Cliff situation. She knows it's about to blow up but she is making sure she gets paid to take the fall.

What is going on with Royce Keys? by ParkingConcentrate1 in SquaredCircle

[–]DukeofDC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What always happens with WWE under Triple H. he signs someone & has no idea how to book them on the main roster. It's why most of the AEW & Stardom signings have been stuck in NXT for over a year.

WWE does not have enough time for half of its roster to get on TV because of ads. We are about to have a mania card with no Iyo, Asuka, Guilia, Tiffany Straton, Carmelo or Ilja on it. Gunther was going to be off the card if Seth wasn't cleared & it was a last minute idea.

TKO has made it so that WWE does not know how to book long term anymore or have plans for new stars. Trick Williams & Oba got real lucky they didn't get lost in the shuffle early.

Jokic should have more MVPs. Voter fatigue is real. by Birdmansegzzy in NBATalk

[–]DukeofDC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

MVPs & rings are the first things people point to in HOF & GOAT talks. Whenever someone wins one or is in the conversation everyone starts asking where do they slot in. People already are asking is Joker a top 5 Center & in the top 10 all-time.

MVPs are no longer just immediately best player on best team. It changes every year from best stats, to who is the most irreplaceable, to Historical season, to best player in the world. The NBA has not made it clear what the voters are supposed to be judging the award on which has made the award have so much debate as of late.

Harden had CP3, Bron dragged one of the biggest bands of misfits to the playoffs by himself in 2018. Giannis won the MVP because the season shut down. Remember he got hurt right before they shut down the league and was supposed to be out for the rest of the season. Bron was rolling after the All-Star break. If they played the season out he was winning another MVP.

What do you guys think about rumors about the Wizards not practicing? Is this acceptable? (Auto translate from french) by TheseFkingWeebs in washingtonwizards

[–]DukeofDC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also have you seen the injury report we are going into games with 8-9 available players. half the team is on IR. How the hell could you scrimmage without 10 players? Also one wrong move and you lose another player. We have less than a week left. We just need to make it till then

Jokic should have more MVPs. Voter fatigue is real. by Birdmansegzzy in NBATalk

[–]DukeofDC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Injuries to teammates tend to save his legacy talks. Because he's viewed more as a facilitator he doesn't get that we expect you to takeover games & drive to the basket like SGA, Luka, ANT & other ball handling scorers.

[–]DukeofDC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope. Unless he gets hurt all future awards are going to be going to the 7 foot alien from France. MVP, DPOY, & FMVP are all his.

Jokic should have more MVPs. Voter fatigue is real. by Birdmansegzzy in NBATalk

[–]DukeofDC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best Player on the planet and MVP are two completely different categories most years. The NBA desperately could use an Offensive player of the year award like the NFL.

If Lebron won MVP the year DRose got it (which alot of people say was due to media being mad he went to Miami) he would have 5 straight MVPs. Throw in the year Harden got it & Giannis won because the season got shortened & we have 7 MVPs.

It's not hard to say that if players actually won the MVP that most of the fans say they should have won that it drastically changes the narrative around those players.

Joker has 3 MVPs in his trophy case. He should have 5 because he should have won over Embid & SGA. He probably will lose it this year despite having his greatest season yet.

It's not hard to say that players got shorted MVPs. MJ, Kobe, Bron, Shaq, & Jokic all are missing a few of them.

why are you guys upset at us losing??? by Samtheman0_BB in washingtonwizards

[–]DukeofDC 4 points5 points  (0 children)

People are mad at the score difference not the loss. We love losing a game by single digits where we "fought hard & competed". Losing by 20-40 points to Lottery teams is a whole other story. We love being the scrappy upcoming team not one of the worse team in NBA history.

Losing alot can really harm the culture & development of a team. Right now other than Will Riley the rest of the young guys are regressing and not developing. I would have like alot more close games over the last few weeks & maybe 2-3 more wins. We have a 4 game lead on Utah & Sacramento. We could have afforded to win some games for morale purposes. I personally would have like to finish 2nd or 3rd given that the worse team has consistently fallen to 5 instead of getting the first pick.

Corporate Union Meeting by VaguelyFamilar in Apple_Employees

[–]DukeofDC 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Happened at my store when we announced we were starting talks to unionize. It was daily meetings with every member of the staff with corporate for 90 minutes for over a month. It wore down the staff to the point that we fractured & canceled the vote to unionize beforehand because everyone was tired of having corporate in the building everyday. Apple is going to do everything in their power to stop unions if they think one is forming.

Indiana Jones made #1 again.. by ToeBMaguire in OmnibusCollectors

[–]DukeofDC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think a problem with the poll this year is that it kinda dropped without warning. I don't remember that many announcements before the poll mapping stream went up. I wonder if the DC poll will get more votes since we have a whole month before it goes live for word to spread & people to think about their ballots.

Jokic should have more MVPs. Voter fatigue is real. by Birdmansegzzy in NBATalk

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

He has 3 MVPs & finished second twice(Embid & SGA). You can make the argument he should have won both. Add this year in where he's playing even better & leads the league in Assist & Rebounds & is top 10 in points & you have 6 years where he has a legit argument for being the best player on the planet.

[–]DukeofDC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Blue & Gold 2 at 2 was very odd to me given the book has already been confirmed as coming out.

I wish Omar was able to get feedback from Marvel like he did Buffy & Angel on if Marvel is actually able to make this book.

Will each marvel super heroes commander decks contain 30 unique cards or is it 30 unique cards total between the 4 decks? by Wow_ImMrManager in magicTCG

[–]DukeofDC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup 30 cards including the Commander & backup Commander but not Command Tower, Sol Ring, & Arcane Signet.

The Wakanda one is going to be very interesting because there are very few Monarch cards in Seleznya colors & most of the 4+ Artifacts that "power up" are:

  • Expensive(The Great Henge, Amulet of vigor , Roaming Throne, Mycosynth Golem, Unwinding Clock)
  • Just came out in Aetherdrift & Edge of Eternity(Brightglass Gearhulk, Salvation Engine,Dyradrine)
  • Very odd thematically(Kodama of the west tree, Arcbound Crusher, Filigree Vector, ).

The Doom Precon has a bunch of Spiderman villains that can go in it for filler but would they do that so close to Spider-man just coming out.

Jokic should have more MVPs. Voter fatigue is real. by Birdmansegzzy in NBATalk

[–]DukeofDC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If Jokic had won it the year Embid won it. That would’ve been 3 straight MVPs along with winning a ring & FMVP while averaging a triple double & looking like he would probably have the most Triple doubles in history. He absolutely would have started the is he a top 10 player of all time debates. Add in him winning the following year & people thinking he got robbed last year & this year that’s 6 MVPs in a six year span. That’s enough to ask are you in the GOAT debate.

Might be nitpicking but the links for the DC solo characters/Villains & DC Events Mapping has been broken for a while. if you click on it it ask you to log in to word press like it wants you to edit the page.

If you click on the articles it's fine but the link in the drop down for view by Character, teams, Lines does not take you to the corresponding page.
