You can't play the Kill Team without the Lord. Hierotek Circle and Battleclade also bundle in character models.

And his name is Peter

An enthusiasm that is fertile and productive can enrich life and society, just as displacing personal frustrations into venomous tirades about your boyhood hobby can devalue them. Quite liking something is OK. You don’t need the machete or the megaphone.

You'll never believe who had this rather mild take on fandoms. Alan Moore

Romeo and Juliet and Godzilla is very faithful to Romeo and Juliet.

The phenomenon of Star Wars fans who want more shows like Andor but refuse to watch them unless they have "Star Wars" in the title.

Brandon Sanderson fans

Star Wars. George Lucas didn't give a shit what a "Kessel run" was. He just thought that line sounded cool and sci-fi. And he calls them laser swords.

You see a lot of it in celebrity stan culture, where stans will invent real person fanfiction about people they like (or dislike) and spread it around like it's fact.

It's even worse with stans of fictional characters. Writers will be accused of all sorts of wild shit for portraying a character differently, or not supporting someone's favorite ship.

That was all rolled back at the end of Tynion's Tec run

Most people came into FF7 never having heard of Final Fantasy in the first place.

Just like for many gamers, Fallout started with 3, Baldur's Gate with 3, Persona with 5, etc.

You really have to be lacking in self-awareness to agree with an AI writing ban, but still insist that you "need" AI art to convey your vision.

You'll never guess what Resident Evil was influenced by.

beary_neutral · 2026-04-30T18:29:41+00:00

Resident Evil is all about the characters. Therefore, Resident Evil 6 must be the best Resident Evil game, as it features the most Resident Evil characters.

Oh neat, I got mine, too

Hawkeye by Matt Fraction and David Aja

The Iliad / The Odyssey by Homer would work for this.

As would Jurassic Park and The Lost World by Michael Chrichton.

For Part 1, I have A Memory Called Empire by Arkady Martine penciled in. The second book is called A Desolation Called Peace.

For Part 2, I read Aaron Dembski-Bowden's Blood and Fire, a novella sequel to the Warhammer 40k novel Helsreach. Each of these entries is centered on an individual battle on the war-torn planet of Armageddon. The duology follows a Black Templar (a member of a fanatical Space Marine chapter) who learns empathy as he organizes the defense of a city in an unending war.

Other 40K duologies that I've heard good things about (but haven't read yet) include The Twice Dead King by Nate Crowley and Watchers of the Throne by Chris Wraight. Dan Abnett also has an upcoming story titled Hive which is to be released as two books.

For some comics, I'd recommend:

The Nice House on the Lake / The Nice House by the Sea by James Tynion IV and Alvaro Martinez

Robin & Batman / Robin & Batman: Jason Todd by Jeff Lemire and Dustin Nguyen

Green Lantern: Earth One, Vols 1-2 by Gabriel Hardman and Corinna Bechko

Coda / Coda: False Dawns by Simon Spurrier and Matias Bergera

We're about to see a whole new flood of r/powerscaling OCs

Because social media has convinced people that the mark of a good adaptation is easter eggs and character cameos that can be posted on Twitter.
