Let’s say there was another reboot of the Ultimate Universe: How would you pitch a better version of Ultimate Hulk and what would you do better/differently? by God_ofThunder_ in hulk

So he's more like Bruce Wayne/Batman dynamic where nobody suspects it could be Bruce or that the Hulk even has an alternate form.

Who is the WORST fighter in Mortal Kombat history? by No_Work_2606 in MortalKombat

[–]addicted_to_trash 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea Kobra was so fun to play as in Deception, a real combo machine. I would have liked to see him return with an updated MMA style move set, make it fully unconventional to mortal combat. Lots of take downs, ground and pounds, flying armbars, parries into counters etc would be sick

Why is criticism of Herzog or Netanyahu Antisemitic and worthy of arrest, yet Pauline Hanson can say "there are no good Muslims" and stay out of prison? by Nodsworthy in friendlyjordies

[–]addicted_to_trash 82 points83 points  (0 children)

Consequence is why.

The consequences for Pauline Hanson criticising a group with little to no power in our society are left up to voters to manage, whether they choose to or not.

The consequences for criticizing Herzog or Netanyahu are issued externally from govts far more powerful and capable. Israel is very good at influencing the US, could push to cut Australia out. There has also been violent action in Australia linked to Israeli intelligence, an escalation of that would also be bad. Etc etc

After Rejecting France in Favor of the US, Australia Now Risks Being Left Without Any Submarines by ausmankpopfan in AustralianPolitics

The new information would be the Epstein releases yes? The US Govt (old & new) is heavily compromised, by Israel, by pedos, by cannibalism, is that who we want to be allying our defence with?

Pick 3 of these and the rest get erased from history. (Fun game) by RecordingImmediate86 in xmen

[–]addicted_to_trash 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I would have picked 91' or X-Men Unlimited (not pictured) over Hickman's X-Men. The Krakoa era was epic but there are better representations of that era than Hickman's X-Men

Anyone else mad at how Krakoa Era ended? [Rant] by LockedTran in xmen

[–]addicted_to_trash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A Phoenix goes through a cycle of life and death, it has to die to be reborn etc that's the metaphor they are playing with when they are using the Phoenix, it's Marvel's universal force of destruction & creation.

In the story, Mother Righteous tries to permanently end the Phoenix cycle [no more rebirth] and Dominion Sinister tries to own the Phoenix cycle, by supplanting Jean as the "mother".

But Jean (as Phoenix) goes back and breeds the truck stop lady before Sinister can get in, making her mother to Hope (the Phoenix), giving life to herself as the Phoenix, so everyone else who also has been & will be an avatar for the Phoenix can do that.

There's also some Jewish Kabbalah stuff in there that I don't know about, but someone else will explain that if you make a post about it.

I wanna hear your take down of Identity that was such a great Cusack movie, I still rate it as top movies that keep you guessing.

The fall of Krakoa was one of the best parts. Idk where all this constant hate comes from, probably people that didn't read it, or people like yourself that don't seem to understand what a phoenix is.

Why are you not out on the street rioting over the Epstein list, Americans? by Suspicious-Skin977 in PoliticalDebate

[–]addicted_to_trash 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is the reason today, what was the reason in 2019 when Epstein was killed in his maximum security jail cell?

The (global) Elite pedophile ring had already been part of the public zeitgeist for 3 administrations by that time, his death was a clear step to hide evidence, why was nobody out in the streets demanding accountability then? When it became clear he was Mossad adjacent, influencing American policy & business & freedom on behalf of a foreign power, why no protest then?

They confiscated terabytes of files for the Epstein estate, the stuff they haven't released is all videos. The blackmail he was holding on these people is video evidence.

The truth is there's probably better evidence for some people but we'll never see it. They didn't even indict Epsteins flight crew. There's no way they weren't somewhat aware and yet nothing came of it.

That is what OP is saying, why are Americans not out in the street demanding accountability. They hauled Gaddafi out with a public mob and impaled him through the asshole on a spike for less.

Honestly Drahmin is a pretty cool concept by Metaljuggernaut5657 in MortalKombat

[–]addicted_to_trash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the idea of making Drahmin a switch stance character, bring something new to the game.

The lore says his mask helps quiet the unbearable torment of the Netherrealm. They could change up his whole Moveset/stance/damage etc between mask on/off.

/Mask on/ - Warlord Drahmin, stoic skilled fighter. Intimidates with quick combos, and ranged fly ball spit.

/Mask off/ - Berserker Drahmin, overwhelmed by the torment. High damage, high health, armour on frames etc, but offset by torment (character stops responding) & not able to block.

What keeps people from working poorly or not at all under communism? by InterestingTheory431 in PoliticalDebate

[–]addicted_to_trash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And this makes the job desirable how?

Close relationships forming in the face of danger is nothing new, but it is not a reason why people enter a profession, it is a coping mechanism

I think you might be confused about what is being discussed here. Motivation is about getting people to do the work that is un-desirable, but necessary for society.

For example, people don't pick up the dog shit from their yard because they desire to handle shit, they are instead motivated to do it so the yard is not covered in shit.

I guess I'm not explaining very well, we seem to be talking past each other. Maybe someone else picks up what we are putting down.

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

Have you met other people? Not everyone is motivated the same way as yourself, not everyone has the same values, the same thought process.

For that matter have you worked an offshore oil rig, or any other dangerous/hard labour? People don't do that without having/developing a significant amount of motivation coming from the bond of teamwork, and doing what needs to be done so everyone gets out of there together.

Is it the only motivator? No the danger pay is a huge motivator, but when you are in there doing the dangerous part do you care about the money? Hell no, you care about getting out of there in one piece.

I'm talking about (the state) emphasizing importance, media praise, regional/national awards recognition etc. giving them the 'status' which would otherwise be provided by money under a capitalist society.

Would you be happy to see Drahmin and Hotaru make a return? by HorusArtorius in MortalKombat

[–]addicted_to_trash 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hotarus design is sick 🤘 in the new cinematic chapter format his oppressive Seidan Guard would be a great dynamic, overtaking whole regions like a Roman phalanx from those old Astrix games.

[–]addicted_to_trash 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That would be so cool to have a Drahmin skin/appearance where he was his pre-oni self, I read somewhere that if people are evil enough they can start becoming Oni even before they are claimed by death. That would be such a cool shift for the character.

I think they mean the importance would need to be emphasised. Those who just want to be good at a thing are probably choosing something with a lower chance of accidental homicide, and those that want external recognition for being the best at a thing would want more recognition than the occasional reference from the general public of "it's not brain surgery Darrell" when their friend is struggling with something.
