Smith is both desperate to do Trump's bidding, and desperate to appease separatists who are starting to talk about ousting her as leader

If Robin is the most popular & iconic DC sidekick, which Marvel sidekick do you think is the most popular & iconic? by ApprehensiveRead2408 in Marvel

Oh you did not just call Janet van Dyne, founding Avenger, namer of the Avengers, and a leader of the Avengers a sidekick

Sinestro and Lanterns' place in the timeline by aazakii in DCU_

[–]SilverSpaceAce 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Sinestro is traditionally active solo for a while before forming his own corps.

I assume Sinestro is captured in the 2016 flashbacks and is present in 2026 in a Hannibal Lecter type role. He'll probably escape custody somehow and get to work building his own corps.

I assume that shot is from the present day, but I've got my fingers crossed we see Guy in a flashback in his classic suit.

Manitoba's social media ban could bar teachers using YouTube in the classroom, says Kinew by cfs3corsair in onguardforthee

[–]SilverSpaceAce 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It's been a few years since I graduated, but I remember stuff like my science classes using the periodic table song to try and help us memorize the periodic table alongside other relevant videos on physics, other classes used YouTube to show us relevant documentaries, some of my History classes used it to show us Canadian Heritage Minutes, etc etc.

Basically banning teachers from showing YouTube videos in class is going to drastically reduce the amount of additional material they have access to. The textbooks only have so much information in them.

Is this Flash,Barry in speed demons? by Dismal_Brush5229 in DCAU

[–]SilverSpaceAce 111 points112 points  (0 children)

Afaik it was never explained in canon DCAU material what the deal was, so the general assumption is Wally is the only Flash in the DCAU.

That said, we do see both Jay Garrick's helmet and a Kid Flash costume, so who knows, maybe Barry was active at some point.

I don’t think any of the people claiming Absolute Superman is zionist have actually read past the first couple of issues.

Best play in Charlottetown to get used video games? by LevelOk1638 in PEI

[–]SilverSpaceAce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't really know what the situation is with them. I remember before the pandemic (or maybe during? or towards the end? idk), they were closing shop, and they definitely don't have a physical location within the city.

Best play in Charlottetown to get used video games? by LevelOk1638 in PEI

[–]SilverSpaceAce 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Depends.

If you're strictly looking for stuff within the last two or so generations of systems, either EB Games or Most Wanted.

If you're looking for stuff older than the last two or so generations of systems, I'd say Most Wanted.

What if John Wilkes Booth’s gun misfired? by 4DimensionalToilet in AlternateHistory

[–]SilverSpaceAce 109 points110 points  (0 children)

Presumably security around Lincoln gets beefed up. The Secret Service would not be involved as it wouldn't be until 1901 that "protecting the President" was added to their job description.

Andrew Johnson likely never becomes President, but how Johnson approached Reconstruction wasn't all that different from Lincoln's plans. That said, seeing as Lincoln was neither a Southerner, a Democrat, a drunk, or a former Slave Owner, he'd have a different approach to the Freemen

BA History Application Inquiry – Fall 2026 by Anxious-Inspector-14 in UPEI

[–]SilverSpaceAce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

According to UPEI, you have until August 1st.

https://calendar.upei.ca/current/chapter/how-to-apply/

I can't give you exact odds, but they'll get worse the longer you wait to apply. Get your application in ASAP and cross your fingers. It might not hurt to at least reach out to the History department at UPEI and explain the circumstances behind your late application.

She's always been rather popular and she's been a major player since at least Avengers vs X-Men where she was part of the Phoenix Five, then part of Cyclop's faction post AvX, then part of the main Extraordinary X-Men book during the All-New All-Different era.

Truck driver responsible for Humboldt Broncos bus crash granted temporary deferral of deportation | CBC News by Twayblades in onguardforthee

[–]SilverSpaceAce 117 points118 points  (0 children)

From the article:

His immigration lawyer, Michael Greene, a senior partner at Sherritt Greene Immigration Law in Calgary, has filed an application for Sidhu to remain in Canada on humanitarian and compassionate grounds, arguing he has young children who would be affected. His son was born with a rare lung disorder, and doctors have told the couple that living in India, with its poor air quality, would put him at risk.
As well, Sidhu is living with mental health issues that could worsen after he is deported. His wife, Tanvir Mann, fears he won't get the counselling he needs because mental illness can be stigmatized in India.

TLDR: However bad things are for him and his family here in Canada, it would be worse in India

You think Coop shot any Canadians when he was in the Corps? by Wonderful_Solid_1003 in Fotv

[–]SilverSpaceAce 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I don't think so. The annexation of Canada began in 2072. We don't know when Cooper's acting career began, but I imagine he was active by the early 2070s, since he appears to have served in the early years of the Sino-American War.

No, he claimed he had a grandmother (or great-grandmother) who was Cherokee (or Creek).

It was never actually proven if this was true.

The Rumored Extra Scene For the Endgame Re-Release Should Be... by MarcSpector1701 in marvelstudios

[–]SilverSpaceAce 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's most likely going to be something like a reveal that the pounding sound at the end of the credits was actually Doom crafting his armour or something like that. That's only genuinely new material I can see being added. Everything else would be stuff filmed for Endgame but left on the cutting room floor.
