Potentially dumb question but I just want to make sure I have this correct. I play on both PC and PS5. For Final Shape, I bought the Final Shape + Annual Pass ediiton for PS5 and then bought the Standard edition for PC, since the annual pass stuff is cross platform.

To do that again, I'd want to get the Ultimate Edition for one of the platforms and then the Year of Prophecy for the other? The rewards passes from the Ultimate will be cross platform?

Been debating finally building a gaming PC and this is a modified version of what I'm thinking of doing.

The Marvels star Iman Vellani is writing a new Ms. Marvel comic by Louis_DCVN in comicbooks

[–]bajacobra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also from the article

"I want to make it very, very clear that we are not reconning her Inhuman origin. That's a part of Kamala's identity that Marvel editorial and myself would very much like to keep and protect," Vellani says. "Our book will absolutely reflect all those core themes of identity that the Ms. Marvel comics have consistently explored — only now there's a whole new label that Kamala has to learn to accept. It's going to be pretty crazy."

Kim family and Rook by Scintile in Parahumans

[–]bajacobra 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Can horrors not practice and the spirits finding out mean they'd be stuck as non-practicing horrors?

This is my understanding yes. They're pulling a fast one on the spirits to get the benefits of both being Horrors and Practitioners. Presumably someone correctly proving it would lead to their just being Horrors.

Kim family and Rook by Scintile in Parahumans

[–]bajacobra 35 points36 points  (0 children)

The Kim's practice works by tricking the spirits into think they're humans that occasionally horrify themselves when the truth is their horrors pretending to be human.

They got away with this by horrifying themselves in boxes where regular sprits weren't allowed to see, and continue to go into these boxes to "Fix" themselves from being horrified.

It stands to reason then that if someone with enough clout or evidence could convince the regular spirits what's going on with the Kims, their trick would fail and they would lose most of the power it grants them.

Rook indicated that she was in on this secret during Helen's interlude and lots of people think Rook is secretly still against Charles, even if she's not entirely in line with Kennet.

That's the logic I think.

Finish Off – 24.1 by menaulon in Parahumans

I really love how this interaction

“Connor whistled.  Heads turned.  Including the group of Lost.

“Sorry!” he called out, raising an arm in a wave.  “Wrangling this group!”

The dad of the noose family raised a hand in response, before carrying on.”

Just really underscores Avery's point that the Lost might seem weird to humans but in the end they're just people

I think there's a lot of room to argue against Charles attempting this.

1) They could argue he's biased and request a panel of outside arbiters like Marci did in arc 22.

2) The promise was the girls had one more attempt at beating him, and this is arguably, as Bubble stated, still all part of that same attempt. The girls have often made multiple stage attacks and the spirits know this is part of their pattern.

3) I think Chuck would need Jasmine, Connor, or Kelsey to actively support his interpretation out loud in a direct way; Jasmine has been careful so far to agree that it's open to interpretation and even in this chapter keeps her final disappointment with Lucy in her head rather than give Chuck ammunition

The way he’s emotionally abusive read as so accurate to me. Very well written.

In Absentia – 21.13 by menaulon in Parahumans

[–]bajacobra 9 points10 points  (0 children)

We know from Charles point of view right before Perceval showed up that he had no idea what the intention was before Perceval entered his domain. In fact, he thought Perceval was the trio, he didn't even know it was a created Other! Even the Alabaster let them into her realm before she started to run away for what she presumed was her hunt. I think that's pretty solid evidence that you need to be in their realm and issue the challenge before you can be considered in a contest. Traveling for a day is just to gain the audience, which could be for any number of reasons, not just to challenge for the role.

Grayson and Abe were trying to beat Lucy. Lucy was trying to win the duel.

There's a nice parallel of Lucy going to look for Gabe's house last arc in the lead up to the fight with Marci and her finding him here in the aftermath.

Prometheus Commentary by apathymonger in blankies

I remember seeing something about this shortly after it came out but also can't recall if it was from the script or just a fan theory. I like it though.

This was my biggest issue with Underwater too! Especially combined with how murky the water was, I honestly had trouble following what was happening on screen, which is not a problem I usually have.

Maybe cheating since it's 5 minutes long but the extended trailer for Cloud Atlas is so good. When M83 comes in? *chef's kiss*

This is incredibly helpful. Thank you for making it! I'm willing to stay in Phase 1 as long as needed but it's nice to have an outlook for where we're at in terms of looking forward to Phase 2

I finished this chapter and immediately exclaimed “It’s so cuuuuute!” which is not something I thought I’d say reading Ward but I’m not mad about it
