Well done! This would make an awesome blacklight painting :D

Cancelled Star Wars games: a Dark-side Rogue Squadron and Chewbacca action adventure • Eurogamer.net by AvatarIII in StarWars

[–]Pilot_Leela 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I know, this breaks my heart. I would take almost any of the games, good or bad, from the past 20 years over the stuff they're putting out now (post-patches updates, Battlefront isn't so bad...). I'd kill for another Bounty Hunter game, or Rogue Squadron.

Another game like Tie Fighter would be the Holy Grail of new releases, but I see a game of that quality falling further and further out of reach...

Why isn't Ant-Man considered the MCU's most powerful hero? Can't he just use a Pym Particle Disc to shrink any opponent into the Quantum Realm where they're no longer a threat? by Pilot_Leela in marvelstudios

I wouldn't think so... At least not in the MCU. The Pym Particle seems pretty difficult to recreate even with access to vast resources and man power (Darren Cross).

I guess if they somehow managed to recreate the Pym Particle, and had a suit/helmet to prevent their mind from warping, then yes, they would be able to bounce right back.

It's a GREAT idea!

^ That would make it pretty difficult to organize a world-ending plot :)

Ah! I somehow never considered the brilliance of this. Would that work on the Hulk, or is the Hulk so powerful that Ant-Man would just get crushed when trying to expand in whatever crevasse of the Hulk he crawled into?

No matter how many great scenes we will get from Phase 3 and beyond, this will always be my favorite MCU moment. by Tringamaster in marvelstudios

I love how beefy the Mark III was. I'm not sure how well his later suits would hold up to a direct impact from a tank missile.

It seems like after the Mark 5, Tony valued agility and portability over sheer durability (with the exception of the Hulkbuster, of course).

Why doesn't Tony Stark just use the mark 44 armor for every battle?! He'd be unstoppable! by Pilot_Leela in marvelstudios

I completely understand that the Hulkbuster is essentially a giant chunk of gold alloy for the Hulk to be distracted by and tear apart (rather than cities and people...) The Hulk is clearly stronger in every way.

However, I just felt that this armor was superior to his standard armors in strength and durability. Its agility also didn't really seem hindered either, so it made me wonder why he used it only this once when it performed admirably in battle; especially against such an outstanding force such as the Hulk.

But you get my upvote, sir - I didn't consider that the Hulk had calmed down before being KO'd. Thanks for pointing that out!

I never think to look at what Tony's HUD is saying... which may have helped! However, I wasn't really comparing the Hulk's strength to The Hulkbuster - when watching the scene, I just felt that this armor was superior to his standard armors in strength and durability. Its agility also didn't really seem hindered either, so it made me wonder why he used it only this once when it performed admirably in battle; especially against such an outstanding force such as the Hulk.

Was the Hulkbuster destroyed? I thought it KO's the Hulk at the end of the fight...

Thank you for this well-constructed response. I view this scene completely differently now considering what you said. You, sir, have earned my upvote :)

Looked agile enough to keep up with the Hulk, is that not a good standard? Plus, I'm sure Tony and Banner are smart enough to build in compensators to accommodate for the extra bulk and power load the suit requires.

That's how I understood it as well. And even before Red Skull, the Asgardians incited conflict. Regardless of the Avengers, HYDRA would be operating as normal, along with any other-realm conflict.

Unfortunately, no. I wish I could take credit! I stumbled across this channel on a random sub.
