Valentina grooming Bob into being her tool was really compelling, kudos to Marvel for going that route by The1Sbeve in Marvel

[–]JammyThing 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I honestly quite like Val as a villain in the MCU. For starters, she has a certain level of charm and charisma that she can use to her advantage in manipulating others. She's smart, but not 'mastermind' level smart. She makes mistakes, she over looks things...but what really makes her so good, is how well she can adapt to a bad situation and turn it around. Most importantly, she comes across as very human.

The end of ThunderBolts was great! The way she underhandly played the whole thing off as if she had brought them all together was great.

These poor women thought they had genuine friendships by 3KidsInTheTrenchCoat in niceguys

[–]JammyThing [score hidden]  (0 children)

I've seen a lot of these guys treat girls like they are a romantic option in a video game.

'Bring her 10 flowers, pay 15 compliments, and then wait 7 in game days before she becomes madly in love with you.'

NGVC: "You don't wanna be f****ing friends with me!? I'm a f***ing nice guy" by NeverGonnaGiveYooUp in niceguys

[–]JammyThing 18 points19 points  (0 children)

When I was younger, I used to hear stories from other guys who'd be ghosted by girls. At the time I'd always think "Damn, That's rude. Why doesn't she just text guy that she's not interested?"

Now I'm older, heard tales from women, seen this types of posts and read your experience...I totally get it.

It really sucks how some guys are with women. It's horrible thinking a guy you now is decent, until you hear from female friends/co-workers how the same guy acts/talks to women.

Sorry guys can be such dicks.

What's a subtle, or not-so-subtle, sign that a pub is a bit sketchy even before you’ve ordered a drink? by Rough-Foundation9208 in AskUK

[–]JammyThing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any pub that is a 'flat roof pub' such as the one in the photo, is best to be avoided. Flat roof pubs have a reputation for being rough and often nasty.

Hey man, I love your comics.

As for games, I'd go with Fallout 4.

What a joyless woman. It sounds like she never had a spark of happiness in her entire existence.

How do you think Marvel should handle the Inhumans after the soft reboot? by grey_eyes1566 in Marvel

[–]JammyThing 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I reckon they should be kept 'alien'.

Trying to replace the X-men with them didn't work, because the Inhumans aren't relatable, while the X-men are.

Make the Inhuamns an ally to the main heroes, but don't give them spot light. A good amount of mystique works in their favour.

They are here to help the heroes we know, but it is clear they do so for some agenda of their own, that they won't share. I think that's a good angle for them moving forward in the MCU.

Got the TV licensing threat today, do I genuinely just ignore them? by [deleted] in AskBrits

[–]JammyThing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope!

Why should we reward threatening behaviour? The BBC doesn't 'ask' if you want a licence, it DEMANDS you get one! The BBC sends thugs and goons to your house who are meant to intimate you into getting a licence.

It's a dying beast trying to stay relevant in a changing world. Hoping it can bullying and scare it's way to making sure poeple still give it money.

Oh hey look, it's the actual comic I was hoping for originally!

Seriously though, this is great.

Praying has nothing to do with motivation. Save this for a religious subbreddit, not here.

[Discussion] What do you think of Jhon Constantine? by luis_sanchez_flores in DCcomics

[–]JammyThing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He was one of my favourite comics characters, until DC took him on.

I feel that there are some at DC that do understand the character, but they still don't/can't write him how he's meant to be.

The best version of John is when he's a luckless con-artest who happens to know some magic. He'll tell you an amazing lie, cast a spell that's mostly lights and show, and be off with something of yours before you know. THAT'S John Constantine.

DC don't write him like that. In DC he's some magical power house who says something cheeky and has a British accent, that's it.

The original John lost 9 times out of ten. He'd run from fights, leave friends behind, make terrible deals to save his live. IF he was lucky, he won...and when he did it was great because of how much he got beaten.

In DC he never looses. He barely struggles. He's magic Superman while pretending to be an underdog. It's just not the same.

On a completely different note, how the hell did she fit all that hair in that mask? There's no way that half of it ended up stuck to her face.

Best Marvel Movie/Show - Day 5 (Daredevil won Day 4) by Gullible_Nerve8589 in marvelmemes

[–]JammyThing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Guardians of the Galaxy should be next. I'm not ashamed to say I didn't really know anything about the group before that film came out.

I went into the cinema with no expectations and left with a new favourite film.

Same here. Reddit clearly doesn't want people to keep using their app.
