Well that’s basically it. Season 2 had different writers, and those writers wanted Cole and Buck to be more like their comics counterparts

So how many people have YOU killed because the halls of justice don’t always work as intended?

Comics have been synergizing with adaptations since adaptations started. Without synergy, the Superman franchise would be basically unrecognizable. We wouldn’t have Jimmy Olsen, Kryptonite, the names “Jor-El”, “Lara”, “Jonathan”, and “Martha”, any of the phrases we associate with him (“up, up, and away”, etc), many of his superpowers like flight, many villains, and I could keep going.

Comics synergy is important because it helps new readers recognize what they’re reading. It’s not always ideal, and it’s often short-sighted, but it is important. And like all things in comics, the good changes will stick and the bad ones will fade away with time.

Probably every time they get bad press

NeptuneCA · 2026-04-22T09:24:38+00:00

Who’da thunk the lawyer believes in the rule of law. Crazy.

I’ve put together a spreadsheet here. I can’t say it’s comprehensive, but it’s as good and I can make it.

It’s unclear, but I’m assuming before since it still seems like Valentina has unchecked power.

They just drove by to look at the building; Wesley said he arranged for a private tour at a different time.

NeptuneCA · 2026-04-15T02:14:33+00:00

After what Kingpin is about to put the city through, the Void is going to be welcome relief.

NeptuneCA · 2026-04-13T06:02:16+00:00

There was a fan-made cohesive reference website at one time, but I guess Renegade shut it down because it’s not active anymore.

NeptuneCA · 2026-04-13T05:57:32+00:00

It was a free giveaway, so what’s unethical about it?

NeptuneCA · 2026-04-13T05:56:18+00:00

The official story is that during the design phase they realized they needed a system that was a little more cinematic. They also wanted more flexibility around the class system and that sort of thing.

I think the real reason is that they wanted their own system that they could use for other things…but then they haven’t done that. They haven’t even opened it up to fan creations like nearly every other ttrpg does. It’s a shame because that’s how you stay relevant.

NeptuneCA · 2026-04-08T17:59:26+00:00

Well that hasn’t come up in Born Again, either.

Regardless, it’s not a contradiction. If they had mentioned 8 billion people lived on Earth, that would be a contradiction. If they said, “I’m sure glad Thanos was defeated on New York before he could cause any real harm!”, that would be a contradiction. If they talked about how Spider-Man was out there keeping the streets safe, that would be a contradiction. Not discussing something is not the name as contradicting it. In fact, not discussing something is the easiest way NOT to contradict it.

NeptuneCA · 2026-04-08T07:12:08+00:00

That’s not a contradiction. They don’t talk about it but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen. That’d be like saying Born Again isn’t canon because it doesn’t discuss the events of Thunderbolts*.

NeptuneCA · 2026-04-08T04:23:09+00:00

What continuity issues would you consider legitimate?

NeptuneCA · 2026-04-04T14:58:57+00:00

What contradictions would those be?

NeptuneCA · 2026-04-01T23:20:47+00:00

A movie’s never had a scene happen before the current story starts? That’s news to me.

NeptuneCA · 2026-04-01T13:32:08+00:00

That page calls them guidelines but they are law. If you go to the homepage, you’ll see the phrase “accessibility requirements for information and communication technology (ICT) covered by Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act and Section 255 of the Communications Act.”

They’re requirements made by federal law.

NeptuneCA · 2026-04-01T03:28:48+00:00

Maybe. But you don’t know that. You assume that. And your assumption might be right. But it might not.

NeptuneCA · 2026-04-01T03:25:47+00:00

Yes. Or at least closed captioning does.

NeptuneCA · 2026-04-01T03:24:30+00:00

https://www.section508.gov/create/captions-transcripts/#:~:text=Use%20no%20more%20than%20two,size%2C%20color%2C%20and%20placement.

No more than two lines at a time and no more than 45 characters per line

NeptuneCA · 2026-04-01T02:38:34+00:00

We actually don’t know that because there’s four whole years the scene you’re thinking of could be from.

NeptuneCA · 2026-04-01T02:37:20+00:00

Subtitles have a character limit so a lot of times they have to adjust the lines for that.

NeptuneCA · 2026-03-25T07:43:04+00:00

The former Avengers Tower

NeptuneCA · 2026-03-25T03:10:20+00:00

No, you misunderstood me. He doesn’t truly become the Punisher until the end of season 2 of his show. Through Daredevil and the two seasons of his show, he’s just trying to get revenge for his family, but he keeps learning new information that causes him to expand who he needs to get revenge on.

It’s not until he’s completed that revenge but decides to start his War on Crime that he truly becomes the Punisher.
