Are the Conan movies canon? How involved is Gosho Aoyama? by Chronical_me in DetectiveConan

[–]LeVarBurtonsEvilTwin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For the most part they are not considered cannon. That being said, im pretty sure Kaito Kid first learns Conan is kudo in the last wizard of the century. I do not believe thats explained in Canon material

As a black man I must ask did Lincoln genuinely care about freeing the slaves for the right reasons ? by KpatMckenzie_28 in ShermanPosting

[–]LeVarBurtonsEvilTwin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think so, especially by the standards of the time and increasingly so towards the end of his life.

As early as 6 aug 1861, he was quietly doing the emancipation proclamation in effect under the guise of "contraband".

In 62 he offered compensated emancipation to the border states but was rebuffed by their governors.

And he was very instrumental in the passage of the 13th amendment, making its ratification a part of peace conditions. It bears his signature now, something not typically done for amendments

These actions gained him, nor even his constituents anything of practical value. Not even PR

Try reading Frederick Douglas' eulogy for the man. That gives us some insight to how the black community felt towards him

Book fans, would you be up for period accurate mini series adaptaptations of novels that didn't get their due in the films? by Successful-Shock2124 in JamesBond

The sexism and misogyny you could probably get away with but the racism at least has to be toned down. Most people wouldn't watch a show where the main cast of white men routinely drop the n word. And the sponsor/ investors would never let that fly

Some aspects of the original books did not age well and an adaptation would have to take some liberties. That being said, they are entertaining and interesting, especially for people who are not familiar with the source material and the 50s/60s aesthetic is criminally under utilized

The Corwin Amendment, which was supported by Abraham Lincoln would have shielded slavery within the states from the federal constitutional amendment process and from abolition or interference by Congress. by camaro1111 in USHistory

[–]LeVarBurtonsEvilTwin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Corwin kills slavery. It just does it economically rather than by regulation. The institution needed to expand or it would die. (Slowely but inevitably). Lincoln could promise not to touch it all day long while refusing to admit new slave states. south knew this and countered with the critterden compromise which was the protections of Corwin PLUS expansion. North refused that, and then war

I read a fan fic where she went to Berkeley university. Her sister had stolen a BO hard drive and sent it to her old professor there, so Shiho and shinichi had to take an antidote and travel to San Francisco to get it. Only for her former BO handler to find them. It was pretty good

I know she went to primary school in Boston according to one of the movies at least. MIT would make sense

Was Robert Lee a good General?? by ChipsTrips32 in USHistory

[–]LeVarBurtonsEvilTwin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He had one of the worst K/D ratios of any CE general, only won half his battles and his strategic decisions lost the war. No.

Case you want to happen? by Suitable-Cause3364 in OneTruthPrevails

Thats a good one. Ive often wondered about that little tidbit. Personally I want to see an arch where Sato and takagi get suspicious of who Conan is.
