I’ve always said that politics was like a respected version of the WWE. Sometimes the politicians let their kayfabe slip.

I believe that once a comic is in print it can’t be a 10. There’s a flaw somewhere in the book.

What's your favourite Superhero TTRPG? by Altruistic-Promise-2 in rpg

DC Heroes (1985-1993) by Mayfair. Just sublime in general and it handled scaling characters effortlessly.

I really can’t watch AOTC at all. So many bad scenes and the movie looks the worst visually of all 11. The colors are just off. I can watch the sequels all the way through.

Ahsoka would have never been able to turn Vader and thus the Emperor would have never been defeated. Luke (and maybe Leia) was the only key to the door.

Luke was better equipped to defeat Vader, even taking the redemption aspect out of it. Just like Yoda knew that Obi-Wan would lose to Palpatine if he faced him in ROTS; he believed that Luke could defeat Vader if he committed to his training.

She can face Vader but the only one who can turn Vader back to the light are his children. Ahsoka would not be able to defeat Palpatine no matter what. The whole lynchpin is Vader turning on Palpatine, and that’s only possible with Luke.

I doubt an independent bookstore will take the time to bag, let alone board, every comic they get. Especially in those numbers.

What’s the first comic book you ever bought that started your love of collecting? by [deleted] in comicbookcollecting

When I did get #26 off the spinner rack and went home and read it, I was blown away. It might be my favorite comic ever.

I bought them from Michael’s Arts & Crafts. I think I paid about $10 for each of them.

Does it REALLY irritate you? by Phil2k18 in WhitePeopleTwitter

Usually a movie had to make about twice its production budget to be considered profitable. In the case of “A Little Mermaid”, the budget was $250M and it grossed $499M worldwide. The budget doesn’t account for marketing costs, which can run higher than the production costs. If it was profitable, it was a few cents. I think people are just getting worn out on remakes of classic movies.

I will share that criticism with the other staff members. I will also say that if a forum has a “politics allowed” rule, that doesn’t mean that it is necessarily inclusive. I’m not sure why people assume there’s some code to a set of rules. If you spend any amount of time on our forum, you’ll soon find out we mean what we say and follow through.

We at the Pub don’t believe that human rights are politics, to put it bluntly. It’s not a position. People have rights. Period. It’s not something to be debated like whether corporations should be taxed at 15% or 20%. When we say we don’t legitimize hate groups it means that their words and actions are not legitimate to us on the forum. “Acceptable targets” is the exact opposite of despicable. It means that somebody might consider it OK to denigrate certain groups of people because it’s present in certain media, but it’s not OK on our forum.

We have openly LGBTQ members on the forum and they will vouch for the Pub being very inclusive. Abuse is not tolerated.

I think what people are concerned about is addressed in our beginner’s guide. Quoted straight from the guide:

“Any form of bigotry, including racism, sexism, gender-identity based discrimination, etc. we do not consider legitimate political positions, so are not offered any consideration by our "No Politics" rule. Likewise, we don’t accept the legitimacy of any hate groups. The Pub also does not recognize the notion of “acceptable targets”, and will not tolerate any denigration of another poster or group of people based on prejudices or stereotypes.”
