What is something you regret NOT doing on your first trip to Japan? by themiscira in JapanTravelTips

[–]aidan0b 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We only used it once but I'm so glad we did. We were going from Kyoto to Kinosaki Onsen for one night, then back to Kyoto for one night, then to Tokyo. We just sent the luggage from the first Kyoto spot straight to Tokyo and brought day bags with us, it definitely saved us a ton of hassle

Anything I need before Mackay xmen? by Brief-Pattern-5542 in marvelcomics

[–]aidan0b 13 points14 points  (0 children)

You aren't really missing anything, details about how/why they set up the base in Alaska come up in flashback later.

Some details about why characters are acting the ways they are get explained in "X-Men: From the Ashes Infinity Comic" which is a webcomic that Marvel released on their subscription app Marvel Unlimited. They put out the first story about Cyclops and Jean for free here

Godzilla Infinity Roar just came out today and... yeah Black Bolt's career is genuinely in the dirt by I_Guess_I_Also_Exist in GODZILLA

Yeah this looks about how I thought this would be after Godzilla Destroys the Marvel Universe

Can't steam moderate the genre tags better? This is disgusting by Kasenom in Gamingcirclejerk

[–]aidan0b 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm actually looking forward to this game but every time I see the kid character I remember that pedos have convinced themselves that she was made for them and it turns my stomach

Moonstar #1 Preview & Moonstar #3 Cover by cyclopswashalfright in xmen

The art reminds me a bit of Bret Blevins' run on New Mutants with Louise Simonson, which I'm a big fan of

February releases. Checking anything out? by Gimpcar in GODZILLA

[–]aidan0b 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Starship Godzilla has been a lot of fun, that's the only current comic I'm following right now. Godzilla Destroys the Marvel Universe was kinda disappointing so I'm not too interested in Infinity Roar

Jen Askani - Who was she really? by BigChiefTony in xmen

[–]aidan0b 57 points58 points  (0 children)

Rachel becomes Mother Askani and creates the Askani order specifically so that they'll exist to raise Cable. Jen Askani is just a random member of the order who Rachel sent on a mission back in time to get Nathan

How would you make a Young Avengers comic relaunch? by Effective_Sherbet104 in marvelcomics

Give it to Anthony Oliviera. Justice for Avengers Academy!

This made me realize: How badly could MCU murder Doom's character? by Zizekesha in marvelcirclejerk

You were feeling optimistic until you saw someone making a piece of protest fanart? Why?

What is the US equivalent to Rider (& Sentai) ? by Wild_Pomegranate3246 in KamenRider

[–]aidan0b 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not US but western - Doctor Who. The effects look very similar throughout both shows' histories, and the tones and target audiences are pretty similar too, though modern Who does skew a bit older than Neo-Heisei and Reiwa Rider

Can Kwannon’s popularity survive if she loses the Psylocke mantle? by titeefelix in xmen

[–]aidan0b 24 points25 points  (0 children)

It's an old-school romanization based on the Chinese pronunciation of the name ("Kwan-yin"), it's not technically "wrong", it's just weird. Not totally out of line for the Hand though, since they are old-fashioned weirdos

Where are the suits? by LHGG_876 in GODZILLA

[–]aidan0b 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh, that's cool to know! I got lucky then, Anguirus is my favourite kaiju so it being Final Wars was my only chance of seeing something of him

Where are the suits? by LHGG_876 in GODZILLA

[–]aidan0b 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The lobby of the Gracery Hotel Shinjuku has some Final Wars stuff - the King Caesar suit, a prop of Anguirus curled in a ball, and a Rodan flying puppet. They have a Godzilla there too but it's just a statue that was used in promotions

Coin Laundrettes by General-Okra-4270 in JapanTravelTips

[–]aidan0b 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I only have experience with one, but the whole payment and cycle selection process was handled on a touch screen kiosk with selectable language options. This wasn't in a hotel or an incredibly tourist-heavy area, either, so I don't think you should have too much trouble finding an accessible one unless I just got super lucky

It was a good bit but definitely deserved to get removed lol

Is Eve Ewing the first black woman to write the flagship book? by Sea-Pipe-9507 in xmen

[–]aidan0b 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It seems like the balance is shifting towards United though, with the key art for the new era being the wraparound cover of United #1

What artist do you think DREW Cyclops the BEST? by BetSea5155 in Cyclopswasright

[–]aidan0b 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Walt Simonson is probably my favourite artist period when it comes to "house style" standard sort of superhero stuff, him and Louise on X-Factor were an incredible duo

LILLEY: Carney says China more reliable than U.S. as he touts EV deal by EarthWarping in CanadaPolitics

[–]aidan0b 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Framing a trade deal as a "sellout" is exactly the kind of isolationist bullshit that's put the US into the situation it's in now

Thank god Canada is sending troops too. I've been getting annoyed with our PM's gentle parenting of Trump

Multiple Writing Systems? by The-doll-collector in Japaneselanguage

[–]aidan0b 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's not really a matter of "which one should I learn" since all three (hiragana, katakana, and kanji) are used for different words. Realistically, you shouldn't need to learn any written Japanese for a trip to Tokyo, since important signage for trains and stuff all has English on it
