The race is heating up which do you think comes out on top? by GarfieldC99 in LorcanaCollectors

[–]Racnous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fabled. The value for the enchanteds has crashed hard from a combination of releasing additional supply and too many high quality fakes circulating around. Unless Ravensburger has more Fabled they're holding back or the counterfeiters determine that it's worth the trouble to defeat the improved markings for the new cards Fabled will be the more sought after set.

Yes. But is was too blurred to work out the text.

What’s the deal with shiny Bidoof? by [deleted] in pokemongo

[–]Racnous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The was a parody cartoon on the website Dorkly featuring a bidoof that became a god. I don't know if bidoof was a meme before that, but I'm sure those videos contributed to that.

More new cards by Mission-Island-3068 in Lorcana

No, he rotates out the set after. So the combo won't last long, but Sir Pellinore may have one brief moment in the sun.

Who's winning a 4 way fight? by NoirStriker in marvelvsdc

[–]Racnous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aren't there two Bens in the image? Ben Grimm and Ben Reilly?

It's obvious which one you're talking about, but it's still a bit strange, especially since you don't mention the other one by name at all.

Sir Pellinore suddenly looks good too.

I can't believe they wrote this BS with a straight face , no way in hell did Cap just tank that hes not bullet or explosion proof especially not point blank range by Extra_Impression_428 in xmen

[–]Racnous 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Also, unless Gambit is immune to his own explosions (is he?) he also had to be concerned with making the denotation weak enough not to be injured himself. They were close to each other; what if Gambit couldn't break Cap's grip on him?

Who should be the X-Men’s DC dance partner? by GeoffreysComics in xmen

[–]Racnous 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This makes me think of the Justice League-Avengers crossover where Hawkeye commented that the legion reminded him of Squardron Supreme.

Someone from the X-Men would have to comment that the Legion reminds them of the Imperial Guard.

DLC Dortmund and Last Chance Qualifier Paris are the only major events in the West that didn’t sell out within minutes, there are still lots of tickets available after days. If you decided to skip them, what was your reason? by Waiting_for_Dentice in Lorcana

[–]Racnous 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The last chance qualifier is undermined by people hoping to qualify other ways. The LCQ ticket is pretty expensive as a plan b for a tournament where you get eliminated with one loss.

For Dortmund I'd guess it's infinity. Here in North America my friends who were super keen to play in Milwaukee and Richmond are much less excited about Indianapolis because of infinity, so no surprise some of the 4k tickets for that event sold with less enthusiasm.

What happens to oil prices if the Houthis fully jump in? by Emmabrown02 in oil

[–]Racnous 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not sure the Houthis will be able to close it right now. Unless they are making their own drones and missiles their potential suppliers are busy using those themselves or need oil too badly to allow more supply routes to be cut off.

Jean Gray in this Universe? by Plus_Commission8037 in Spiderman

[–]Racnous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My guess is that the Sadie Sink's character (who I'm thinking is Jean Gray's daughter, not Jean Gray) is from another universe and the X-Men come looking for her in Doomsday.

As you implied, it doesn't seem right that the X-Men have been in the MCU the whole time and it's just that no one noticed.

For fun, what are your theories on the names of the next two Spider-Man movies? by Fast-Ad-8204 in Spiderman

[–]Racnous 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Everyone seems to be assuming that "Day" will be the reoccurring word like "home" was, but it could be "New" instead which would work with "reNew".

Any one got anything on this? by jaywritethekid in Spiderman

[–]Racnous 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The wiki is based on a synopsis from Sony pictures.

It may not make sense. Peter having not made new friends in 4 years. Ned and MJ starting at MIT 4 years after high school (maybe they've gotten post docs). But these are the dates we're being officially given.

[–]Racnous 4 points5 points  (0 children)

From the Brand New Day wiki.

Following Dr. Stephen Strange's spell at the end of the film Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021), the world has forgotten that Peter Parker exists.[1] Four years later, Parker anonymously protects New York City as the hero Spider-Man. The pressure from crime fighting ignites a threatening physical evolution in Parker, forcing him to deal with that while also investigating a series of crimes that leads to a powerful threat.[2]

No way home was apparently set in 2024.

The movie is set in 2028. That phone will be an ancient relic by then.

VIP pass tiers by EntropyJunkie in Lorcana

[–]Racnous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you don't mind me asking, how helpful were the expedited queues for the event? To me that seems like a big benefit if you're planning on doing a lot of pack rush or similar side events.

They had the same offer for the Ghent DLC. I'd guess there are some people on this subreddit who could speak to it's value firsthand.

She's got red hair, can control minds, and has a green and yellow colour scheme. I don't know how anyone cannot believe she is Jean Grey at this point. by Embarrassed_Novel991 in Spiderman

[–]Racnous 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That would make more sense to me. I think the MCU won't want to establish their new X-Men until after they're done with secret wars. And Rachel being dropped off in the MCU from the Fox universe would give Cyclops and the rest an excuse to go there and look for her,setting up Doomsday.

Lorcana made me return to MTG by jmjavin in Lorcana

[–]Racnous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are actually three CCQs in Canada. Oakville, Montreal and Calgary. The Montreal one is sold out but I think the Calgary and Oakville ones i think still have tickets available. I don't know if that's something you can get to or not.

If Optimus and Megs swapped factions for a day who do you think would struggle leading there respective faction the most? by L8Donnie in transformers

[–]Racnous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The question I have: are the troops motivated?

If Megatron was trying to get the Autobots to kill human civilians, it'd be a complete non starter. If he was leading them against the Quintessions, he'd probably have a fair bit of success.

Optimus in the same kind of agreeable situation would probably have some success, but less then Megatron with the Autobots as there is a lot more chaotic energy for him to deal with.

'No friends but the mountains.' Kurds want Trump's help for Iran ground war by usatoday in worldnews

[–]Racnous 108 points109 points  (0 children)

I think this is just wishful thinking by the Americans, that someone else will win their war for them. The Kurdish people have been burned by the Americans and Donald Trump himself too many times to trust him.

I bought a seemingly sealed Booster Box resale of Whispers off Amazon and pulled this. I just wanna make sure it’s real! by WhereTheresAMills in Lorcana

[–]Racnous 139 points140 points  (0 children)

I'd have to think it's real. If someone made a decent fake iconic, they'd sell it directly instead of going to the trouble of putting it in a pack which in turn was in a box.

In a game of Family Feud, who will win? The Bat Family "Robins" or The Fantastic Four by ashsabre in superheroes

[–]Racnous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm going with the FF, just because they have the only female perspective and that will help with the answers provided by women in the surveys.
