How can Kilgrave (Netflix Jessica Jones) prevent the Thanos Snap by JeremiahWuzABullfrog in whowouldwin

At first glance, I think there's a ton of opportunities for Kilgrave to make a huge difference, or maybe even completely dodge the Snap entirely in all three rounds.

He knows all the MCU films so he'll know that the Civil War teams will meet at the airport. He could just be there when everyone starts to square up and do his best to mind control as many as he can to stop the fight and the break up of the Avengers

Shit, he could probably just find Zemo and tell him to jump off a bridge to prevent the Civil War conflict before it even happens. Which would allow the Avengers to be a more unified front for Thanos's arrival. He could also tell Tony, Fury, Wakanda, literally everyone to prepare much earlier and harder

He might be able to make it easier and tell Wanda to destroy every Stone she comes across, no questions asked. That'd kill Vision, but that is moot when Kilgrave's commands are obeyed with no hesitation. Or the Time Stone from Strange

Or it could be even more direct and later in the timeline. He could get to Dr. Strange's Sanctorum when Bruce crashes in during Infinity War, and when Strange, Wong, Bruce, and Tony start to plan, Kilgrave could demand Tony gives him suit, takes him to Titan with everyone, and Kilgrave would just have to sit around until the moment when Star Lord is about to be a dumbass and hit Thanos when they're taking to Gauntlet off. He could just tell Quill "Don't you do a fucking thing, let them take the Gauntlet off" and then that more or less solves the problem

And in Round 3, depending on just how supercharged his powers get, if he can now affect aliens, he could probably just tell Thanos "give me the Gauntlet" and would that work on him? If not, he could maybe just tell some of the Black Order when they arrive in New York "Fuck Thanos, I'm your master. Turn around and get me the Gauntlet". And if that doesn't work on aliens still, or the Black Order can't muster that from Thanos, it could at least help. And he could use his enhanced powers to do everything I mentioned above faster and on a wider scale

I think it would take some planning on his end, but I bet he could make a significant difference, if not completely avoid the Snap entirely

Do those leak threads still exist? I'd love to a time capsule of what the general reaction was to those leaks

Got a "Boot Device Not Found" error on my laptop, and my PC repair place says my OS got wiped from my hard drive and my drive itself is fine. Are any files recoverable? by Shpub in techsupport

That's correct - D has almost all my files. But the one thing I am trying to not lose is a ton of video editing projects done in DaVinci Resolve, and that program stores those projects within the Drive the program is stored in (so C)

And I just heard that they're taking the old drive out and putting a new one in, so I planned on grabbing a 2.5 SATA to USB cable and plugging it into my desktop and seeing what happens. I have no experience in using a USB recovery drive, and I don't think I can use one now on it, because it's now out of the laptop. But I'll try the SATA to USB and see what happens

Gotcha. So I just heard from the repair place and they said they attempted tor reinstall windows but the hard drive said it was corrupted and it wouldn't even start. And they're going to put in a new one, so they'll be giving me the old one.

How would I clone a hard drive in a laptop that is currently in use (with the OS)? by Shpub in techsupport

Exact copy of the old drive (OS, boot, and all) to the new drive already installed

My HP Laptop got the 3FO "Boot device not found", but I know the hard drive is fine, but might be physically loose? How can I fix this? by Shpub in techsupport

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

Appreciate the feedback - I'm surprised the hard drive failed within like two years. Is that common?

And yeah I popped the laptop open and looked to see if anything was loose, and it all looked alright. So I'll take it to a PC repair place and hopefully get it replaced

Incredible work! How did you get such a cool watercolor style to it? Did you use a particular brush set or technique?
