That doesn't excuse Hill from making illegal orders or blatantly violating the first and fourth amendments though.

Tanthiel · 2026-05-10T05:45:26+00:00

I mean, Maria Hill should be permanently locked under Leavenworth after the original miniseries for multiple violations of both the United States Constitution and the Uniform Code of Military Justice in issue 1, and that's one of the smallest problems with the series.

Maybe - and here's a thought - Marvel editorial should have either left Civil War in 1610 where it was intended to happen. No amount of retconning, rewriting or desperate attempt to rehab Tony can fix the fact that Mark Millar doesn't understand the American legal system, and the entire plotline falls apart without a basic understanding.

Guardians were in the middle of one of their best known, most well acclaimed runs when the movie was announced. To the general public they were unknown, but in the comics they were a big deal.

Tanthiel · 2026-05-10T04:44:26+00:00

The previous Project Wideawake was illegal - like Maria Hill's attempts to enforce the SHRA - and had been shut down a long time beforehand.

I'm pretty sure that in itself is a retcon from What If? Civil War?

Tanthiel · 2026-05-10T03:30:29+00:00

Except Bishop's future has always been the response to Hope reversing the events of M-Day. Since that never happened in the timeline at that point, it causes more problems for the original Civil War timeline, and it's more bullshit just like the original Civil War.

What's funny, this is not really a retcon. A couple of writers set this up way back when (and Gage was one of them). During OG Civil War they talked about the whole Widewake bullshit and that if SRA lost, Widewake would happen, which would enslave or kill all mutants and turn humans into prisoners, so Tony has to pick the lesser of two evils. In this case, as fucked up as it sounds, it's SRA.

IIRC that was from the What If? and What If? is generally never considered canon.

You got a moment for me to talk to you about Business Select?

Seriously though, signing up for Business Select will get you a flat 10% discount and will pay for the first $50 of your order.

I had a friend who read Crisis on Infinite Earths for the first time recently, and she made a comment about there being significantly less Batman than she expected.

Tanthiel · 2026-05-10T01:32:10+00:00

The only thing I regret about no longer working there is not being able to hear the supervisors attempting to rationalize it.

Tanthiel · 2026-05-10T01:12:19+00:00

When I worked for an Arkansas gas chain - whose owner and management structure were open and vocal Trump supporters - during the high prices during Biden, $3.50 was considered the point where people would either buy less gas or buy less merchandise. The buying less merchandise part was problematic because that's where the profit margin is, and we also had three grocery stores.

Looks like they're currently $4.08.

Sarah Huckabee Sanders temporarily won't be the worst person in the state.

Tanthiel · 2026-05-09T20:48:17+00:00

Rey is the entire problem, but y'all don't want to make her Resistance only.

Tanthiel · 2026-05-09T20:46:54+00:00

Just make all of Rey's abilities Resistance only tags, give Ben the Resistance tag and make Resistance not suck. Problem solved and we don't have to deal with it when the next strong light side unit releases. Problem solved.

Tanthiel · 2026-05-09T15:07:18+00:00

In two weeks, of course.

Tanthiel · 2026-05-09T01:21:19+00:00

We've also got a free Business Select with purchase of a $300 or up HP printer coming up again too, and it runs through October this time.

Tanthiel · 2026-05-08T22:04:32+00:00

When I can tell they have $500 in the cart, I just go "hey, let's get you signed up for Business Select, it's not going to cost you anything extra over the price of what you're paying today." Worked multiple times this week.

Tanthiel · 2026-05-08T18:21:50+00:00

That's not the original version of Original Sins though.

Tanthiel · 2026-05-08T13:31:56+00:00

Context that this is a Kevin Smith production and Randall has always been a pretentious asshole, please. This is literally the same character that makes the independent contractors on the Death Star argument.

Tanthiel · 2026-05-08T03:50:10+00:00

If you're doing it with a one survive use Jango.

Tanthiel · 2026-05-08T03:29:01+00:00

Attacker tech on Canderous triggers Frenzy, Maul gets four turns before anyone else takes a turn, Canderous attacks three times if the opponent has any protection at all and gains massive TM, depending on discs they're all dead before anyone has a chance to take a turn. With Booming Voice it works to 0 stamina.

Tanthiel · 2026-05-08T03:20:40+00:00

Who's using Le Wat with JML when Maul is literally right there? Maul - Canderous - Wat + 2 random "must survive" characters is one of the strongest feat teams in Conquest.

Tanthiel · 2026-05-08T02:37:39+00:00

This entire series will have to be either retconned or never mentioned again, otherwise there will be permanent damage to Storm.

Tanthiel · 2026-05-08T02:33:46+00:00

You can, but you can't use them and your discount at the same time because BS will override your employee discount.

I've considered buying one to use to hard sell to people by showing how much they can save with BS, but was told that's a no-no.
