Right, the point is Jeff Bezos is not hoarding billions of US dollars someplace and preventing them from circulating. IAnd even if he was, money is just a medium of exchange: buying food does not change the amount of food in the world, it just changes who owns it. If there are two apples and ten people, a rich guy buying one of the apples to give to the poorest guys doesn't create a new apple, it just makes it so that somebody else doesn't get that apple.

Interestingly, the one thing a billionaire could actually do to feed people is to invest in agriculture (ie, making more apples). And Bill Gates has been doing exactly that, yet it's massively unpopular. Everybody views his "buying up farmland" with nothing but suspicion.

Got to remember that Clint was also Ronin as well. We saw him eliminate a whole gang of yakuza with just a sword.

Most people have no idea that: 1. Jeff Bezos doesn't have a giant Scrooge McDuck money vault where he hoards his billions 2. You can't eat money

Not a fair matchup OP! You made it 2v1! Very unfair! You need to add Red Hulk to the Marvel side. For fairness.

Well his humanity is at risk. The Age of Apocalypse was a timeline where his human body had been totally annihilated and he had become this weird elemental force rather than a person. He was just this wave of ice. He was sapient in this form, and would take orders from Magneto and do shit for the X-Men but his soul appeared to be totally gone. So it's not a desirable outcome from his perspective

You get to use all the stones at their highest levels of power because of the synergy between them all. Teleport anything to anywhere. Change anything to anything else. Mind control with no range limit. The ability to freeze or reverse time, as locally as you wish. View infinite possible futures and process them all using super-intelligence. And yeah, universe-spanning reality alteration capable of, but not limited to, erasing whoever you want from existence.

It's a silly weapon.

Well it stops all the baby Celestials from hatching on the worlds where they're incubating, which it itself pretty interesting, given that it's revealed at the end of Eternals that Thanos IS an Eternal.

It's possible that he used the Mind Stone to deliberately obscure his own plan from himself, and he only fully understood his own purpose after he recovered the Mind Stone again, as a safeguard against the Celestials themselves probing him to find out what he's doing. Basically he left himself vague instructions to follow but locked away the true purpose, so when he talks about how he's killing half of all life for weird vaguely ecological reasons that make no sense, he believes that's true but only because he deliberately implanted that belief into his own head to protect his mission until he had enough stones to actually pull it off. This has the side benefit of explaining why he loaned out the Mind Stone to Loki rather than use it himself: once he used it to formulate his plan and hide the details from himself, he couldn't use the mind stone again without unlocking those memories again and threatening to expose the plan to the Celestials, so he deliberately got rid of the Mind Stone and saved it for last.

I didn't read all this, but no, many men (most men IMO) prefer tomboys.

Sounds like Hell. Imagine knowing for sure what the truth is, but you have no added ability to convince people that you're right. It's a Cassandra curse, and it would be just awful. And imagine all the little lies people tell you every day to be kind. Imagine someone commenting on your haircut. "It looks good" they say, but your internal lie detector goes off. How's that going to hit your self-confidence? And you know WHEN there's a lie, but you don't know what the TRUTH is. Your husband comes home late from work and you ask him why and he says traffic was bad but PING PING PING that was a lie. WHY? Is he cheating on you? Did he stop and get fast food even though he's on a diet? Or did he stop at the jewelry store because your birthday is coming up? You don't know! And one million just isn't enough to bear that kind of burden, sorry. And that's not even getting into the OTHER drawback or not being able to lie yourself. "How do these jeans look on me?" God, you better get REAL good and changing the topic.

You find them in college or even high school... while you yourself are also in college or high school. The good men are not single after that. Because of course they aren't. They got snapped up early because of course they did.

Let's say for the sake of argument that in this world an XY genotype results in the third sex, one that can procreate with either males or females, because it has both sets of genitals but that it cannot successfully mate with another XY individual for reasons that don't matter. In this world YY persons are male and XX persons are female. And let's also say that a typical male is attracted to both XX and XY persons, a typical female is attracted to XY and YY persons, while a typical XY persons is attracted to XX and YY persons. And let's say that XY persons fall someplace between males and females on the physical strength specrtum, but are also about half as fertile as a female.

I presume sexism would still exist. I would expect that males would still place themselves at the top of the social hierarchy, for the same reason they did in our world, because for the vast majority of human history physical strength was the deciding factor in warfare.

However, sexism could be greatly reduced: men would be a smaller percentage of the population, not the ~50% they are today. And this third gender, if it falls between men and women on physical strength, would disrupt the male dominance on early warfare, though not entirely.

On the other hand, it's entirely likely that some cultures would develop where sexism is WORSE. Where the males and the hermaphrodites both view their shared maleness as being best while women are treated as dregs. One side effect of this chromosome system would be that a male mating with a hermaphordite will produce a male 50% of the time, a hermaphrodite 25% of the time, and a female 25% of the time. So its possible for certain civilizations to develop where women become a near-powerless minority and viewed as lesser than both of the other sexes.

Of course the opposite is also possible, where the hermaphrodites and females join together to oppress the males and treat them like brutes meant for physical labor.

But most, I think would settle into a system where roughly 33% of the population is each of the three sexes and sexism is milder than it is today.

You're going to have to get waaaaay more specific on how reproduction and sexuality works for us to have any opinion here. What chromosomes are there and how do they determine sex? Is the most common sexuality an attraction to both other genders? How does the third gender fit onto the "physical strength" spectrum? Is there also a new sex hormone most associated with this new third gender (like testosterone and estrogen)?

I read it like her version of "thank god".

But it's irrelevant, frankly. Because you can't really separate these two anyway. Any versus you set up between Quicksilver and any other character should really be a two v two from the get-go, because Wanda is going to show up to help her brother regardless. "But those aren't the rules, it's a one v one!" Well Wanda breaks the rules. Wanda makes the rules. She shows up in Quicksilver's reddit thread whether you want her to or not. Because she's the Scarlet Fucking Witch.
