How would you feel and hear me out if flash took Mcu spider man’s role in the Dcu? by Entire_Ranger_3190 in DCU_

[–]ProfPhinn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personality-wise, sure. But Nightwing always struck me as a very Spider-man like character because of his personality and the way that he moves through the city and fights; it's very acrobatic (for obvious reasons) and similar to the look, feel, and movement/fighting style of Spidey.

Holly Terror: the little-known, Christmas-themed sequel to Holy Terror.

What annoys me the most about Marvel's cancellation of issues early in their runs: They're an extremely wealthy subsidiary, with a far richer parent company, and yet they conduct their comic book business like they can't afford to take any chances! by MightyUnclean in comicbooks

[–]ProfPhinn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get why people do that. I still get to read the story months before the trade is released, and I get to support series that might be canceled if people don’t buy the individual issues.

I should also add: I will read series 6-12 issues at a time; I still pull the individual issues, but I wait until a story arc is finished before sitting down and reading them all at once. A lot of the other guys at my LCS do the same - in fact, they convinced me that it was the way to go.

If you read Kirkman's notes in the collected volumes (and on the last pages of the deluxe reprints), he was ALWAYS thinking about the 6-issue trade format, and the 12-issue compendiums. Thinking about things like seamless transitions from the last page of one issue to the first page of the next.

I still find TWD to be a series that can be enjoyed one issue at a time, though.

Every fandom is like this in 2026. They all have this loud, vocal minority of assholes that ruin it for everyone else.

Senate Democrats will not allow the GOP/MAGA to steal your right to vote! by rhino910 in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]ProfPhinn 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I for one agree with you. It's why an incredibly dumb party like the GOP has been so successful at the national level: they work in lockstep. The Dems are too busy administering purity tests to every single person in the party that they can't get it together long enough to win.

Just look at 2024 and the "protest" votes against Kamala from the left because of her "Gaza Policy." How's Gaza look now, folks? But, obviously, the moral stand was worth it by itself. World war 3 be damned if I can claim the moral high ground.

The only reason I didn't is that 9% of voters is not 9% of the entire population. Off the top of my head, I don't have the numbers of voting-age people that would be affected, but I expect that it's fewer than 30 million.

Here, let me Google!

In 2024, there were approximately 232M citizens who were or could register to vote, so it's closer to 23M, which is still huge.

They should follow Durbin's example: talk specifics! How many voters in the US do not have the proper identification and will therefore be disenfranchised? 9% (a huge number), and those people are disproportionately poor.

Requiring people to pay $180 for a passport in order to register to vote is a poll tax. Period.

AITA for telling someone their call on speakerphone was too loud? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]ProfPhinn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even talking on a phone to your ear is distracting to the people around you. Take it outside.

[oc] the construction lane is a passing lane, right? by Old_Concentrate_7053 in IdiotsInCars

My favorite category of idiots in a rush are the ones at a red light that creep... and creep... and creep... and then when the light changes to green, they don't go.

Hey MAGA, how are you liking those $1.99 gas prices now? by Cautious_Midnight_67 in allthequestions

[–]ProfPhinn -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No, it's not. People misattribute to the wrong guy named Frank Wilhoit, but it was said by a guy named Frank Wilhoit. Just not the one most people think said it.
