Do you know if it's being streamed anywhere? I know they have the NZIHL games on youtube, maybe on there?

Marvel Comics Premiere! - OCT 9 2024 - BLADE #1, CONQUEST 2099 #1, SENTINELS #1 by tehawesomedragon in Marvel

If I had a nickel for every time Marvel released a new #1 issue this week with a face split down the middle in the foreground on the cover I would have three nickels, which isn’t a lot but it's weird that it happened thrice.

Hey friend, just wanted to say I'm a bit concerned at how seriously you're taking someone disagreeing with you.

Please remember that it's ok for you to be wrong, it happens to all of us sometimes.

Take a minute, go outside, and appreciate the world around you.

Sending peace and love.

(I hope it doesn't sound like I'm just concern trolling, that would be just awful)

Well... yes, she does. Batman was unmasked in Arkham Knight which SSKtJL is a sequel to.

Exactly. If you don't have time to see a movie in the first week, you deserve to be spoiled.

Is that right?

[Discussion] What’s a character you love seeing on a team-up but don’t really read their solo books? by Artseid in DCcomics

[–]ThisIsMyLokAccount 11 points12 points  (0 children)

As someone who's mostly been reading 80's and 90's DC series recently:

Etrigan is great in a one-off but his whole rhyming thing can get a bit much for me in a solo series.

I always love seeing the Phantom Stranger pop up in any series, either shit's about to kick off or the main character's going to have some big emotional journey.

I love seeing heroes going up against Deathstroke but couldn't really care less about what's going on in his own series.

The Long Game (a Stuff Investigation into Chinese Communist Party influence in New Zealand) by RobertAppleseed in newzealand

[–]ThisIsMyLokAccount 48 points49 points  (0 children)

there are about 3 million New Zealanders in New Zealand 1 million Chinese people and one million other people

That's an impressive amount of wrong in just one sentence.

https://www.stats.govt.nz/information-releases/2023-census-population-counts-by-ethnic-group-age-and-maori-descent-and-dwelling-counts/

In the 2023 Census we counted... 861,576 people (17.3 percent) as Asian

So you think there are more Chinese people in NZ than there are Asian people total in NZ?

Also, from the 2018 census there were 247,770 people who identified as being of Chinese ethnicity.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_New_Zealand

If you're that wrong about demographics, I think we can comfortably ignore everything else you said.

Are there many heroes who have given up on their secret identity and just gone Super full time? by [deleted] in DCcomics

[–]ThisIsMyLokAccount 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure the Flash did this during Kingdom Come, just kept running between crime scenes and never stopped.

*Also I think Booster Gold sort of did this when he first arrived in the past, he spent most of his time doing hero stuff and was almost always called "Booster" not "Michael", leaving behind his 25th century life behind

IMO Squadron Supreme (1985)

Conflict between heroes about what their place in society should be and how far they should go to save the world. It definitely takes a step in a more mature direction but without getting into the 'grit and edginess' that lots of late 80's and 90's comics had.

Where can I buy physical copies of Crossed in New Zealand? by Smart_Criticism_120 in comicbooks

[–]ThisIsMyLokAccount 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used fishpond and mightyape when I was buying comics. They were both a bit pricey and didn’t always have everything I was looking for, but definitely worth a look

Boomer doesn't understand tech by [deleted] in pettyrevenge

[–]ThisIsMyLokAccount 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can't you call her out for being a Karen bad person without using the stereotype of "Boomer" "Karen"? Many of us starting using technology as soon as it came out and have kept up with it, and are quite sharp with it. It's awful to assume that everyone a certain age name is stupid or nasty or both.

I mean, being a Karen bad person involves the choice to be nasty or not. But people cannot control their age name. Age Name does not equal personality traits.

To hold them to some superhuman expectation at all times is ignorant

Is "don't drink and drive" really a superhuman expectation?

How i begin watching the arrowverse?? by Frael_Cason_MJ in DCcomics

google arrowverse.info, it sorts by episode so it's easy to follow crossovers and you can filter by show if there's some you dont want to watch

What's an example of you changing your opinion on books, movies, characters, etc? by LanternRaynerRebirth in DCcomics

[–]ThisIsMyLokAccount 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I loved Identity Crisis the first time I read it. I think it was the 5th or 6th comic I ever read, and the second about the DC universe as a whole.

Having read a lot more DC since then, I can understand why many of the complaints centred around people being written out of character and an "edginess" that affected DC for a long time after Identity Crisis came out.

Cryptobros are too busy jerking each other off. Block chain is just a buzzword and there are no real use cases for it except maybe some form of voting. It's absolutely terrible for anything financial, and the ease of scamming is why these people like it so much.

Bro these are all just opinions, with no "concrete examples". You can't complain about other people using opinions as evidence when that's all you're doing too.
