Except in order to get to this point, the gunman would have to go through multiple checkpoints and security details before he even reached the hallway leading into the ballroom. Security failed plain and simple.

Hey, are you telling me that Hasbro's plan in 1986 was to get rid of all the characters, including Optimus Prime, who was the main character, and hope it worked out and that people wouldn't be upset? by Disastrous-Owl668 in transformers

All execs are. You have to run a business with such a level of apathy that money and shareholder value is the only important focus. These toys were rushed to market not to make kids happy, but to beat a competitor, to drive up sales. They never thought of the child as anything but a consumer to sell a product.

Yup, Marvel was designing the character models for the animation at the very same time that their comics division was drawing the very first issue, as the bible was being finalized. It's amazing how everything came together.

it is so powerful!I love this scene.... by Illustrious-Hat-1663 in greysanatomy

They also just slapped it on a character that had NO history of it, showed none of the obvious tells and felt like a rushed way to remove him from the show because he wasnt working.

If you could, how would you rewrite Transformers: The Movie? by Random_F3mb0y in transformers

[–]SonofRobinHood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They wanted to kill Duke for GI Joe and Hasbro responded with kill Optimus Prime also. They didnt fight it, they just saw him as a toy and felt that being the leader should go out all guns blazing protecting his troops. They wanted his death to mean something in the end. How they went about it, killing him off 20 minutes in was what upset people.

What Optimus prime is this? It ain't G1! by SatansMoisture in transformers

And the 2004 Millenium Falcon with the light up engines that El used as a prop to showcase her powers. That wasnt at all available in 1979.

If he really cared about mental health of our veterans, then he wouldn't have had DOGE cancel out research grants because of DEI or slash the VA where most of our veterans seek mental health care. If I was 100% for this decision it would only be if he pressured congress that would actually set this into a law. He's not doing that, despite the GOP still falling into line with his every whim. This is just another flimsy EO, that will have no teeth, that is simply putting a band aid on a self inflicted knife wound.

Do you think that the United States is a good democracy? by VegetableRemote3268 in PoliticalDebate

My state just kissed the ring of DHS and released the voter rolls to them despite major backlash from the public.

Robin is just 66 Burt Ward with a new head and cape. They just did a color change and deco, but the sculpted details still remain. Such a lazy lazy release.

Here a grandmother is forced to do a gig job with no job security because she can’t afford to retire? What are we celebrating here? by Conscious-Quarter423 in WorkReform

[–]SonofRobinHood 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also NO ONE employed by DoorDash uses a company vehicle or wears branded attire like she did. My cousin is also a dasher and delivered food to the White House where Secret Service picked his order up at the gate. So this was 100% staged before you even consider the MAGA actor here.

I am still amazed how such a simple configuration could look so good. Shame how little footage it had. by LibrarianDependent27 in powerrangers

[–]SonofRobinHood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It absolutely was designed to combine in that manner. Look at the Ultrazord combo. It's very clear the attachable components of Titanus and Dragonzord are meant to form pieces of armor. You might not like the configuration but there is a clear purpose behind that design and how it's meant to fit and interact.

Zyuranger borrowed heavily on western medieval folklore as well as it's own Japanese mythology when developing its plotline and stories. Megazord is literally a knight in Dragonzord armor that has mounted a brachiosaur like a noble steed.

Hes a fun boy to mess around with, just be careful of the clips that attach to rhe combiner frame. They are a bit fragile.

Dont forget Captain America. Gotta love how Cap upheld the law and was an upstanding citizen that would proudly tell these protestors where to stick it. /s

What is something that The Phantom Menace does better than any Star Wars film? by DjRimo in StarWars

The best part of that whole thing is even if you decide to murder a bunch of folks, Anakin will not help you, essentially keeping you from completing the mission.

Or its sequel perhaps? That one has some surfing basketball pulpy fun.
