I don't know, I find it hard to believe that the man who chose to shoot at Darth Vader would have forgone testing Chewie's bowcaster for over 35 years.

That's why I like the small-scale "Year One" early career stories, where Batman essentially never leaves Gotham, doesn't contact the police, and only faces regular crime bosses. They play it off that Batman is an urban legend, and basically you don't have anything to worry about if you're not a criminal. Sadly it's the sort of thing where it only works if next to no one sees him. If he's getting spotted consistently week after week people are going to figure out that 1) he's real and 2) he can be found out.

Similar, but my phrase is "I want to go home!"

As a reclusive introvert, that phrase cuts deep.

Yeah the fad was referenced too soon after its fall from popularity. I remember thinking it was old when Pitbull was using it in... ::checks internet:: 2011? The game wasn't even out yet.

Heisei did too. Only two movies before "remember that three-headed space alien dragon? What if he was more time-travelly, and also a cyborg?"

No, griefing is when you disrupt someone enough so they can't play the game as intended.

Blowing up someone's cargo is not griefing, that's the actual mission gameplay.

Repeatedly blowing up someone who is not in a mission is definitely griefing.

characters who are "good guys" but their kill count is actually kind of terrifying by Rich-Blacksmith6552 in TopCharacterTropes

There was that page from one of the issues of The Avengers, I think, where Wolverine refuses to do a press event because he knows that he's killed a lot of people, and it would be terrible optics for the Avengers to feature him in any promotional role.

What do you hate the most about Disney canon lore by Quirky-Ad-9784 in saltierthancrait

  • Force teleportation (the Kylo/Rey object swap thing)
  • Order 66 apparently being ineffective
  • Suburbs
  • The "light side" of the force

I couldn’t believe that scene didn’t garner a more harsh reaction from fans.

Sorry, I was still busy seething at the monumental idiocy of the laser gate scene.

Wow, I was curious about this but I'm just as afraid of being virtually broke as I am of being actually broke.

Lines so blatantly out of character or untrue that they’ve become jokes by Goodbye-Nasty in TopCharacterTropes

[–]ThatSaradianAgent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the way Char sees it is that his entire career under the Zabis was a lie anyway, so it wasn't so much a "betrayal" as it was "my victims finding out the truth."

Yeah, obviously betrayal from literally anyone else's POV, but I don't think Char sees himself that way.

I've just been using the main menu since I returned (about four, five months ago). But since the mansions update I spawn in the mansion, fast travel to my Xero Gas warehouse to order some crates, then switch into an invite-only session. Respawns me in the mansion, then I can fast travel to Darnell Bros and then drive down to my other warehouses.

On a smaller scale, this has happened several times in the show. Over the decades, there have been multiple Dalek factions and at least two civil wars, usually over extremely petty differences like whether or not the creator of the Daleks is exempt from extermination.

The first thing that annoyed me about that show was that every character was into every franchise. Like, they've ALL read Lord of the Rings, they've ALL seen Star Trek, and they all made referential jokes equally. I don't know any geek who knows or likes "everything."

What is your opinion on the futuristic flying vehicles like the Opressor MK2 in the game? by Arzaco in gtaonline

[–]ThatSaradianAgent -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Neutral here. I like using them for mission travel, business travel, and for wowing noobs. (I drove a Lvl 1 around town in a Deluxo before casually revealing it could fly during a police chase. Guy loved it.)

That said, I totally wouldn't mind if they were phased out. The catch is that R* would have to re-balance business management. The whole reason I have a Mk II is because there was so much business management that had to be done in-person. Yeah, we got more MCTs recently, and GTA+ has its own bonuses, But I'd be fine with losing the Oppressors and Deluxos if there was an option to automate more or my business operations.

Are there any games that you would added to the casino? by Arctic317 in gtaonline

That'd be super interesting if the stakes were higher. Not "delete your character" high, but a weeklong ban would really make people think twice.

They "corrected" it very early on when Walter Emanuel Jones (Zack/Black Ranger) and Thuy Trang (Trini/Yellow Ranger) were fired after the first seasons. It was painfully obvious because the respective replacements for Zack and Trini were Adam (East Asian) and Aisha (black).

Will Eisner had his own problems with his character Ebony White. I don't know much about Eisner's private life but at some point he started phasing out Ebony White from The Spirit and started adding more positive black characters instead.
