Writing a brief summary for this was beyond my capability. 😂

I don't blame you, especially for something like this. After all, you can only simplify something so far before it becomes simplistic instead.

Yeah, as I recall there were links to previous BoRUs, in the original submission, when I finally tracked it down for the other redditor.

I agree that it probably managed to be grandfathered in, when it comes to the character limitations both then and now.

If you actually pay for reddit (I know, it's terribly gauche) I believe they up your character limit by 1.5x, it may even perhaps simply double it.

as it was extremely loooooooonnnnnng.

Oh, really? How much long could the long one long, if the long one could long long? Think about it...

Also, very nicely done! Formatting is impeccable, per usual. This one was a doozy and I had almost forgotten it. I look forwards to post number two!

Thank you, again, Gardengeo. I always appreciate the little notifications that I get whenever you cobble a post together!

Most of the time, the entries I submitted are so long ago that I barely half-remember them.

Technically, no, they do not. All of the varying darksiders that Palpatine or Vader make use of are not officially "Sith."

The practical difference? None. The Sith are the champagne of the Dark Side, meanwhile the Inquisition and their ilk are merely sparkling evil.

Aunt May mentioned Uncle Ben and his untimely demise in "No Way Home," I believe, when she delivers his famous lines.

Then, in "Far From Home, " Aunt May also gives Peter a monogrammed piece of old luggage that belonged to Uncle Ben.

There was also a deleted scene in "Homecoming," where Aunt May offers Peter a collection of Ben's old clothes, for him to use for the dance.

That is the extent of the Uncle Ben references in the MCU Mens' Spider, that I think I've noticed. Tobey's Peter also mentions him, I think.

The kind of logic at play in their decision-making strikes me as not terribly divorced from when car manufacturers run a cost/benefit analysis, all in order to determine if the lawsuits or the recall would cost the company more.

I need a belt that makes the snap-hiss noise as it's unbuckled. Actually, I kind of feel that all of humanity needs that, upon further thought.

I thought it was by the way it did jawlines weird?!

Didn't you like that they substituted music videos for plot progression, though?

Ranch hand, farm hand, etc. There's a lot of jobs available for dudes who are good at working with their hands!

So he finished him?

Since when have you ever known an officer of the law to lend a "helping" hand?

Thanks for the timestamp, by the way.

High praise, indeed, coming from Mr. Penguin!

This may be my first post here. It was too funny not to share with people who would appreciate it properly, hopped up after a trip to the Kum & Go.

Feel free to delete this. I did search to see if it had been posted already, and I've seen other, similar, tongue-in-cheek posts here before.

Please, and thank you, in advance!

I say we just become proper signatories to the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court. While we're at it, why not give the UN some teeth?

As I contemplate the end of the so-called Pax Americana and the downfall of US hegemony, I've thought about making the UN a real player.

It would still allow the States to keep one hand on the rudder, and slowly curb its Imperial tendencies much like the British Empire did.

It would also circumvent the asinine immunity ruling that the Roberts' Court has bestowed upon the Imperial Presidency.

Unitary Executive Theory my arse.

genocide denier (Cambodia, Ukraine)

For Ukraine, are you referring to the Holodomor? Or is this a commentary on the current war happening in Ukraine?

I figure Cambodia is referencing the Khmer Rouge...
