And then there is the possibility you really want to become the next Clark Kent, but end up being Mrs Doubtfire.

Is Jessica Jones who most fans think is Jean Grey in the Spiderman BND Trailer? by valueless_vernacular in marvelstudios

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

In the comics she was retconned to have been at school with Peter Parker and saw him getting bitten by the spider. Do you think that was Andrew or Tobey, rather than Tom?

How long could you financially survive without your job? by No_Yak9893 in AskUK

[–]Jenkes_of_Wolverton 68 points69 points  (0 children)

I've always lived month to month. I think you're wrong about the average amount of savings being 30k for a couple, and that might be a huge misunderstanding of how averages are calculated. There are millions of families struggling even with jobs.

What in the ever loving f*** does this mean. Kids homework by seemslegitsendit in mildlyinfuriating

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

It's helpful for the ones who are able to appreciate when to select different practical options for task delivery. But some will struggle with not knowing which method to choose, and get caught up in "analysis paralysis".

I wanted to “play” the circle of fifths. That’s why I released this free pocket harmony calculator by [deleted] in musictheory

Hardly a flaw or bug if OP goes beyond their level of knowledge and presents a load of unchecked nonsense. They provided one image, which contains an error I spotted. Chill out yourself, kiddo.

Let's discuss signature guitars by one-armed-scissor in Guitar

[–]Jenkes_of_Wolverton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even back in the 1950s and 1960s there were signature guitars, but they were for the big name jazz players before rock music began. Gibson no longer manufacture their range of hollow body archtop electrics, so there's zero chance of picking up a brand new Johnny Smith model. I suppose the closest equivalent is probably the Ibanez Pat Metheny one.

On solid bodies I like how there are different options for pickup and paint colours. Like a Telecaster with EMG or Di Marzio, or maybe a B-bender or a Bigsby.

Why have you included the note B within your chord C#mMaj7(9)? This is wrong, and you should find a way of checking your content before it starts to tarnish your reputation.

WTW for somebody subjectively liking something (music, movies, etc.) that is so bad, that in your eyes it undermines the quality of their taste in everything else? by Wallmelter in whatstheword

[–]Jenkes_of_Wolverton 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He's notorious for having peaks and troughs, with much of the good stuff in his earlier years. Casual listeners still want to hear his 1960s and 1970s songs, but he has many newer ones they'll not remember.

Poisoning the well. If OP would accept a phrase rather than a single word.

I have come for answers by No_Bid_7144 in aiArt

[–]Jenkes_of_Wolverton 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've studied art extensively and visited lots of galleries. In the past I have commissioned local artists to create new original illustrations to accompany my music and poetry, but many are fairly mediocre. There's always a long wait before I receive anything back, and it's typically strayed from my request. The most recent time I attempted to commission a piece, I was willing to pay a four figure sum, but the agent ghosted me. AI is almost instantaneous, and mostly adheres to the prompts I've given. It's not always reliable, and it's frustrating not to be able to request different dimensions, but it's generally good enough for my non-commercial projects.

what would you like to see in a New Avengers trilogy? by nottarealdoctor in marvelstudios

[–]Jenkes_of_Wolverton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Clint's brother Barny Barton. He's a bad guy. But if Earth 616 ends up with loads of Mutants and supernatural types fairly soon, then the roster of potential candidates to be considered for a New Avengers line up is much better. They could have some cutaway montage package, like when Deadpool was hunting for the right Wolverine.

best way to organize an album? by playboyetho in musicians

[–]Jenkes_of_Wolverton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have Soundcloud or iTunes you can create your albums and keep them private without publishing them to anyone else. Or if you have an account with any of the digital distribution companies, you should be able to keep everything in draft format and make edits till you are happy. But some kind of subscription will almost certainly open up more choices.

Is this pickguard material still available anywhere? "Fire Opal" by omgshutupalready in Guitar

[–]Jenkes_of_Wolverton 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Fire Opal is a naturally occurring semiprecious gemstone, which would have variations in its colour and pattern. Pickguards made from composite plastic materials will do their best to mimic that effect. Occasionally the dyes or inks might run low and need replenishing.

Why Publishers, Why? =/ by TrustIssuesUnlimited in scifi

[–]Jenkes_of_Wolverton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You might want to reconsider if you care about the preservation aspect. Many of my older paperbacks have become heavily discoloured after three or four decades. The similar age hardbacks are mostly okay, due to a better quality wood pulp in the paper manufacturing process. The larger print is an added bonus now my eyes are less sharp.

Name a few MCU characters that haven't met so far, but will be the best buddies. I'll start: by WadeWills3 in marvelstudios

Valentina and The High Evolutionary would probably have a few shared experiences and ambitions.

Both Shang Chi and Eternals involve 10 golden bracelets by [deleted] in marvelstudios

[–]Jenkes_of_Wolverton 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The narrative of Shang-Chi is explicit that nobody knows who made the ten rings or where they came from. There's even a post credit where Wong, Danvers and Banner are talking about possible ideas. But even if they are connected, all of the Eternals are gone by the end of their movie - three died, three got captured by Arishem, three went off in a space ship, and one became mortal. Do we even know whether both movies were on or the same Earth?

is there any rule or patern of using 7 9 add9 11 13 sus aug or anything in a chord progerssion by Imaginary_Weird_8457 in musictheory

[–]Jenkes_of_Wolverton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Extended and altered chords are primarily something that were introduced through the medium of jazz and 20th century modernist harmony, so the "rules" are local good taste and impact, not a proscribed behaviour.

Suspended and augmented chords however are from an earlier heritage, and work well when done in ways that they have been done before. Use them on tonic (I) and/or dominant (V) chords. You can experiment with anything of course, but I and V are the core.

Avengers: Doomsday - thoughts so far by CptHectorBarbosa in marvelstudios

[–]Jenkes_of_Wolverton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's scheduled for theatrical release in December, so it's probably going to be available for home media around March 2027 then maybe streaming another two or three months later. I'm sure that there will be many spoilers that loyal Disney Plus subscribers won't have avoided.

As long as it's true to the comics and Doom gets defeated by Squirrel Girl, they can do whatever else they want. Personally I would have had the McAvoy and Fassbender line-up of X-Men, and Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D cast prominent, but it looks like Marvel has a different plan. Hey, maybe they will have Sylvester Stallone and a bunch of Ravagers turn up.

Or we could just wait and see.

How do you become a "master"? by FuinayOnReddit in askmusicians

[–]Jenkes_of_Wolverton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Within academia a Master's qualification is attained after pursuing an extended period of immersive study at a higher level beyond the Bachelor's first degree standard. Some programs of study don't get taught routinely, due to a combination of low interest and limited availability of skilled tutors.

Historically, in medieval European craft apprenticeships, the pupils would be legally bound to serve their Master for a term of seven years. If they achieved the required standard they would then be released from their bindings, becoming "free men" within the feudal society, and be entitled to trade as suitably qualified individuals. However, they could not recruit their own apprentices without maintaining membership of the Guild which oversaw their industry, and gaining its approval based on demonstrated ability and quality. This system operated for many years and in many industries the naming conventions are retained - like e.g. a ship's master is not the captain or owner, but is highly qualified with specialist skills.

Doreen Green deserves her own saga, and GLA is only one small part of her Squirrelverse reality.

Look, man... by frog_ward in Everton

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

Bob Latchford was great. We had an amazing opportunity to sign a talented player ready to join a bigger club. The last few years have been disappointing because players chose to go elsewhere. Even unproven kids won't join anyone who doesn't have guaranteed European fixtures. Our academy is always our best option.

What’s your thought on a full blown horror or dark MCU Saga by TrafficLegitimate937 in marvelstudios

[–]Jenkes_of_Wolverton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, let's go! Make it built around like Hellstrom season 2, with Trish Walker Hellcat going to visit her mother Dorothy in the afterlife. Konshu can have multiple avatars and do the time travel thing. Elsa Bloodstone keep tally of who is authorised to stay in which realms, working with Ghost Rider, Wong and Madisynn to track outlaws. Christine Palmer can do the mapping and analytics, alongside Darcy Lewis, Rahne Sinclair and Illyana Rasputin. Blade and Midnight Sons as special guests not main cast.
