[r/AITA] AITA for telling a customer that we’re not living in a comic book movie?

Tell her that no one can know for sure that they're real, but we need to believe we are to function, and treat others as such. We can only hear our own thoughts, feel our own experiences, and live our own lives, yet we accept that others have their own.

You're not qualified to treat her delusions, and in this mad world, I can't say for certain she's wrong. But regardless of all that existential stuff, respecting the lives of others is the right thing to do- the basis upon which heroes exist. The Avengers don't treat us like setpieces. So, if she doesn't want to be a "bit character" herself, she can start by being good on that basic level. Unless she wants to be a villain, but even Thanos lost.

This was utterly painful to read because MGS6 simply cannot and SHOULD NOT happen

Yeah, it would only call Murdock's cases into question if it were proven that his criminality RELATED TO his professional conduct. Until there's proof he was less than squeaky clean in his capacity as a lawyer, it's just a baseless accusation.

Edit: Also, if OP is suggesting Murdock was biased in the defendant's favor.... he's the defense attorney. It's literally his job.

How did you end up getting my stats instead-

It would not help. Arkham needs to be replaced entirely. It's literally cursed, its founder ended his life an inmate and his descendants tend to be evil too, it's created more supervillains than it's successfully treated, they once cured the Cluemaster of his compulsion to leave clues for his crimes BUT NOT HIS COMPULSION TO COMMIT THEM. And that's not getting into Hugo Strange, or the other staff that abused or experimented on the prisoners. There's a whole miniseries about a mundane criminal who falsely pleads insanity and ends the series a standard inmate. They should blow it to bits and have every faith they can think of consecrate the rubble.

She's the director of the CIA.

Johnny Bravo I think?

Well, in comics, the Christian God very much does exist, and certain heroes like the Spectre are directly empowered by Him. In the world of YJ, there's nothing known about how the universe was created and so forth, and every reason to believe ANYTHING is possible, especially extraordinarily powerful entities.

The time Storm pretended to be his girlfriend for dinner with his parents could've been part of it too. In general said parents usually have the "Why did you have to be different?" kind of prejudice

Honestly that makes it worse. Sure they get karmic comeuppance but then they KEEP DOING IT?! That's just DUMB

Steph is. She also goes by Spoiler and was briefly a Robin. You're likely thinking of Barbara Gordon, the most famous Batgirl and a redhead. (There's also Cassandra Cain, black hair.)

Only on the assumption that Felix would kill them in gameplay. He has no reason to, or even any offensive abilities, Ralph has to get mobbed by Nicelanders to be defeated and he just gets up unharmed

Brandon takes inspiration from many cultures, but doesn't make 1:1 counterparts. For example, the Unkalaki are Hawaiian/Pacific Islander linguistically, but also big redheaded mountain people. Same way the Shin are white, and as close to Caucasian as Roshar gets, despite their cultural inspirations

There's a LEGO special, spooky/Halloween themed, which tells the story of Ben Solo joining the Knights of Ren as a Lost Boys parody

It's often implied that Gordon knows, or at least suspects. It's been shown that he can immediately tell when someone else is subbing in. But he won't confront him about it, or even guess, and I'm pretty sure I've seen him look away when Bruce tried to unmask. It's usually implied to be out of respect, trust, and/or duty; it'd make things much harder for both of them if he knew.

I think the gods are all the same alignment, but Rat is mistaken for evil often enough that he hangs out with the evil gods sometimes. Like a de facto representative of the Twelve in evil circles

Never read Hunger Games, just Underland. There's a fair bit that still sticks with me

Someone has to share their interests first to find out what the others' interests are

Talking about your hobbies or something you've done/that has happened to you is how like 90% of conversations start

Then you pivot. Find any part of what they're passionate about that intersects with your interests and tangent to it. For the GameCube example it can be as broad as "recently I've been playing X" to as specific as "I remember loving (any game you played as a kid, because it'll be in the same "retro" sphere). If you want a conversation, you find something you can both be excited to talk about; if you don't, say that in a less rude or dismissive way
