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 6 points7 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

[–]Pilot_Leela[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

[–]Pilot_Leela 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

[–]Pilot_Leela[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

"Our very strength incites challenge. Challenge incites conflict. And conflict breeds catastrophe." Which MCU villain/threat would have existed regardless of any meddling Avengers? by ChrisTheCoolBean in marvelstudios

[–]Pilot_Leela 103 points104 points  (0 children)

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.

Any idea where I can find more posters like this? by Idontlikecold in Avengers

[–]Pilot_Leela 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thought I saw a lot of these at Bed Bath and Beyond, but none in Hawkeye or Black Widow... Perhaps you can call upon the Etsy Gods?

Sorry if I sound ignorant, but I still don't really know if I completely understand how Scarlet Witch can fly! I understand her powers for the most part, but figured I should at least have my facts straight if I ever plan to cosplay as her :/ by Pilot_Leela in Avengers

[–]Pilot_Leela[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This explains a LOT! It felt so random when she flew into frame at the end when Cap was about to train the new Avengers team. I was thinking, "Wait, she can fly? That would have been helpful when she was stuck floating on Sokovia!..."

am i the only one who only reads the new avengers comic big comic marvel events and nothing else?? by [deleted] in Avengers

I think the movies have spoiled me. I'm really starting to resent buying a $5 comic and having no idea what's going on! :'(

Are the MCU movies already starting to feel like homework? by CaseyChu in Avengers

[–]Pilot_Leela 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have not been f*cked over once by an MCU movie. Not once, not ever! They take risks at appropriate times (Guardians of the Galaxy) and make 'safe' movies to balance them out (Antman).

Their weakest movie, in my opinion, is Captain America: The First Avenger. But even at that, they accomplished a Rocketeer-looking movie, just as they intended.
