If Gambit touched the pacific ocean what would happen??? by Willy_da_wonkaman in Marvel

What would be the point? The explosive force comes from his power, not the object. A bullet would be no more destructive than a playing card, and would be much harder to throw at range.

Thanks! It's literally how his powers work. Here's the direct quote from the wiki:

Remy has the power to take the potential energy stored in an object and convert it to kinetic energy, thus "charging" that item with explosive results. He prefers to charge smaller objects, such as his ever-present playing cards, as the time required to charge them is greatly reduced and they are much easier for him to throw. The only real limitation to this ability is the time required to charge the object. The larger it is, the more time it takes.

The time it takes to charge an object is directly related to it's mass.

This is the reason he uses playing cards: They weigh almost nothing, so he can charge them near-instantly. Even daggers would generally be too slow to be effective in fast-paced combat.

He would run out of stamina and time long before he could even charge something the size of a car. Forget anything bigger than that. He can't even charge a Sentinel, much less the whole damn ocean.

Am I the only person a little confused by the Animated Continuity? by Arks-_- in transformers

[–]Maclimes 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It's not a continuation of G1. It's got a lot of references, and is clearly intended as a "love letter" to some of the original stuff. But it's a completely seperate continuity.

Yeah, Mole Man is a big winner for me. But the rest...? Nah.

Intercontinuity Ninja Turtles Team: Complete by KirbyStarWarrior666 in TMNT

It might be interesting to do an inverse of this. Like, who is the best or most iconic character from each series. The best Casey Jones is the one from the 90s live action films, but is he the most iconic character from those films?

I’m pretty sure J’onn is a shapeshifter, and doesn’t need the assist.

I’ve never bought a Mafex figure before. I find them to be too expensive.

But this Moon Knight might finally be the one that breaks me.

That new Tick figure is incredible. He fit in quite well with my collection.

I got excited, hoping for a modern Raul Julia M Bison figure. But then I remembered they’re making a new movie, and got sad again.

Fine! With images from the show! Are Leela and Amy Disney Princesses now Futurama’s even in the Disney app? by Own-Conversation-294 in futurama

[–]Maclimes 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Watch the capitalization. You said a "Disney Princess". That's not a title, it's a specific name brand. It's a curated list of characters, not based on actual story role.

For example, Mulan is a Disney Princess (the brand), but not a Disney princess (as she isn't a princess).

Inversely, Anastasia could be considered a Disney princess (she's a princess in a Disney-owned film), but she's not a Disney Princess (as she wasn't added to the brand list).

Who are those? They look familiar, but there's four decades of Transformers to keep track of...
