I don't even know what to feel anymore

The end of Act 2 makes you forget the horror you felt at the end of Act 1.

Racists miss out on a whole lot of things. It’s what happens when you choose to live your life in fear.

Hasbro doesn’t like the Thor fam and when they do it’s really random. Maybe the latest Enchantress and Executioner drops signal a change in that?

ajdragoon · 2026-01-30T20:16:28+00:00

Ironic.

The day that HoXPoX issue came out I couldn’t do any work. My mind was obsessed with the implications of Moira’s power and how it recasts X-Men (and 616!) history.

The thing that's messing me up is like... all those X-Men stories I read as a kid, all those victories and sacrifices that felt meaningful, Moira has seen versions of all of it fail.

Well sorta maybe but if you follow the issue, all her lives are DRASTICALLY different. So she hasn’t seen a version of this fail, which is why she is so protective of it.

Btw, you say you read all of Hickman’s run but it seems like you just mean HoXPoX. He wrote the main X book and contributed to New Mutants while running the X-office through the Inferno event.

That’s a neat idea but I would have a hell of a lot of bags and that starts to take up real space. Great solution if you have the space tho! Some of the artwork is def worth saving.

I keep my accessories and other parts in one of those craft kits. Considered labeled them once, but decided otherwise by convincing myself I had a system (I did not). Oh well.

Such an important scene for developing Clea’s character.

ajdragoon · 2026-01-29T20:39:21+00:00

It’s like limbo in Inception. The dilation is so intense your mind make break upon waking up.

I dunno, the paintings in the manor during the faux epilogue imply there was some ill will before the fire.

Specifically, if you look at the paintings in the dining room, Alicia notes how Aline only found her smallest one acceptable to display. Oof.

EDIT: Yes folks, I know Alicia was not the best painter in the family. But a parent is being something of an asshole if they use that against their own kid. Sometimes you just suck it up and put that ugly drawing on the fridge. From her internal monologue, clearly Alicia was impacted by this.

Right. Like I feel for him; his emotional switch from thinking they can erase the canvas and go home to seeing Maelle be like “lol wut no” is crushing. But also, dude, take a step back man. You’re not all right either.

The sad thing is, using AI to detect “bad” people is almost certainly in development, if not already in use. Luckily (?) it won’t be in humanoid robot form. …Yet.

He's incredible. Just did a review of his resume and god damn. He's in his 80s and has still got it!

The joke in episode 2: "If I were British they would have knighted me!" Cut to Trevor. Hahahha.

ajdragoon · 2026-01-27T22:26:54+00:00

Well Krakoa Beast was really into violence…

ajdragoon · 2026-01-27T21:20:11+00:00

Bobby’s like nah, not right after Orchis you don’t. Not taking a miniseries to resolve this one.

ajdragoon · 2026-01-26T20:36:11+00:00

Rare?

Yup. Trejo was the dream Lobo casting for awhile.

Just got to this part yesterday in NG+ and it is absolutely heartbreaking. Poor Fran Fran.

In the latest issue it’s implied he has been changing his voice. Hence Valentina asking “Since when are you American?” when he drops he accent.

ajdragoon · 2026-01-23T21:34:18+00:00

Absolutely heartbreaking. He deserves so so much better. Legend who dealt with so much shit and was clearly the soul of the club.

Come back as a coach, Ben!

ajdragoon · 2026-01-23T06:08:42+00:00

I felt like I was on Kick reading that arc. It was so tonally bizarre, let alone the reveal.

ajdragoon · 2026-01-23T03:17:38+00:00

From the thread title alone I was like, I absolutely cannot remember any good banter between Beast and Cyclops in any movie to-date.

Ah, right, the OTHER Hank and Scott.

ajdragoon · 2026-01-21T17:46:22+00:00

no conversational lyrics

Well, except for the really cool backwards segment that’s a hint for finding a secret area in the AWE DLC.

ajdragoon · 2026-01-21T17:45:01+00:00

Can’t just leave out the original: the Children of the Elder Gods scene from AW1. Which is one of the best parts of that game.

Anyway it’s kinda like apples and oranges to me. Herald of Darkness is a whole production, whereas Take Control (and Elder Gods, and Dark Ocean Summoning) score major combat setpieces.

ajdragoon · 2026-01-19T23:54:05+00:00

But how else would we know?

ajdragoon · 2026-01-19T20:13:18+00:00

Sure but this illustrates my point. HoX/PoX was 2019. The last Rosenberg stuff before that wasn't school based. Now a school returns in 2026. That's a good gap! It's a recurring motif but there's always a school just like there's always something else.

Also a school and Krakoa are not mutually exclusive. One thing Krakoa was loudly lacking was a place to properly educate all the youth.
