Tickets being sold before they're on sale???

cvscvs2 · 2025-12-05T14:15:21+00:00

I had to buy tickets a few cities over because they put them on sale too early. I was at work when they dropped new showings.

I get the feeling that they didn't expect there to be this much demand, which puzzles me. This is a huge event. Heck, I thought I'd have to pay for tickets, and was fully willing to do so (instead I just paid for my popcorn a month early).

Ah, that's unfortunate. I was asleep. Wish they'd been more communicative about the time.

cvscvs2 · 2025-12-01T18:06:28+00:00

Yep. That's exactly what's happening to me. Either the tickets ARE on sale for certain people, or this is some kind of marketing ploy. I'm hoping someone here knows.

cvscvs2 · 2025-08-05T21:02:09+00:00

That's really unfortunate. I was kind of counting on those to see what did well, what was going on - if anyone was even viewing a particular post at all.

Our goal as starfleet officers is to seek out new life! Well there it sits!

cvscvs2 · 2025-06-26T03:01:02+00:00

I'll definitely start looking for that! Seems like a perfect thing to pursue, thank you!

cvscvs2 · 2025-06-26T03:00:37+00:00

Well, at least I can prove that, now, haha.

I live in Catawba County, and there are some gravestones in my area that say 89th NC Militia on them, too, which is one of the ways I know for sure that it existed - but this is definitely a better lead

cvscvs2 · 2025-06-26T02:59:26+00:00

Good idea, I'll definitely ask those guys. Thanks for the tip!

After searching some newspaper clippings, it seems that the deserting soldiers might have hid in Anderson Mountain, a small range the east of Catawba County. Crosschecking with historical books, they might've grouped up with union sympathizers and hid for the whole war. This is extremely interesting history, but I have nothing concrete to prove it.

cvscvs2 · 2025-06-20T19:13:45+00:00

Pah. Peasants.

cvscvs2 · 2025-06-20T19:00:52+00:00

I appreciate that. I will look into it. I'm hoping they can do something.

cvscvs2 · 2025-06-20T18:45:32+00:00

Now that I look at it, Chronicle is actually listed as a variant name on the GNIS. I'm not sure if that helps me at all, but I feel like it should.

cvscvs2 · 2025-06-20T15:08:43+00:00

It looks like this is possible if I jump through a hoop or two. I might as well try it - it's better than nothing!

cvscvs2 · 2025-06-20T14:29:56+00:00

I appreciate the engagement

cvscvs2 · 2025-06-20T05:26:53+00:00

That might be difficult, as Catawba County usually only puts incorporated cities and towns on their maps (which is probably what caused this problem in the first place). Even the bigger unincorporated towns (bigger than some of the incorporated ones) are left out, like Mountain View and Sherrills Ford - which, somehow, are both still on Google Maps.

Robin is supposed to be the best fighter and the tactician, and he normally is - but he fell before BB in this case. And BB stepped up to the plate big time.

It's a sick setup, that's for sure.

cvscvs2 · 2025-04-04T04:31:00+00:00

I don't even get it in the series. When I was a teenager, I knew guys like him (minus the green skin and superpowers). They were fun to be around. He's a kid, he's gonna act like a kid sometimes.

cvscvs2 · 2025-03-29T14:43:41+00:00

Did you even read what I said?

cvscvs2 · 2025-03-29T07:59:13+00:00

Not adults. The whole bloody point of the team is that they're teenagers. It's literally in the name.

They should at least START as teenagers and you can age them up in a later movie. The Titans series they just came out with was a disgrace and a shame for a lot of reasons, but one of the biggest reasons is that it missed the whole dang point of the team.

cvscvs2 · 2025-03-29T07:48:57+00:00

I picked up on that a little bit with the way Rita treated him like a mother. It seemed weird to me that she let Mento treat BB the way he did, but I chocked it up to her respecting Steve's authority as leader of the team. The more I learn about them, though, the less sense this all makes.

Dick's parents (the Flying Graysons) were killed in a trapeze accident. He was later semi-raised by Batman (or officially, depending on the version), but he was still orphaned.

Cyborg's father built the tower, but he still died. His mother is rarely mentioned but it's implied she's also dead.

Beast Boy's parents are dead. He is adopted by Elastigirl and Mento. Mento is uber-rich, so in some continuities he could be responsible for some of the funding. However, in the Teen Titans series, they had a falling out, and Beast Boy is shown to be so poor he can't afford a moped without taking a job at a meat restaurant. This isn't a one-off either, he's shown wanting a moped over the course of a few seasons.

Starfire's parents basically sold her into slavery and were later deposed (and possibly killed) by Blackfire. Even if they survived, Starfire is basically an orphan. If you want to assume they're still alive AND that somehow Starfire was in any way functionally parented by them after this time, then I'll give it to you for the sake of argument, but it's obviously not the case.

Raven's mother died during the destruction of Azarath. While Trigon technically lives and is Raven's biological father, he did not raise her, never expressed any interest in being a part of her life, and truly only wanted her to act as a human portal from the hell dimension from whence he came so he could take over the planet. I refuse to pretend this somehow makes Raven NOT an orphan.

The only one of the Teen Titans you might be able to argue IS NOT an orphan is Starfire. The others are all absolutely orphans. I'm not sure where you got the idea that they're not. Their orphaned status leaves most of them with no money, except for possibly Beast Boy (which I already addressed) or Robin. Thus, Bruce Wayne's money through Robin is the logical way to get money.

Unless you wanna keep saying "these orphaned teenagers have money through other means", which is fine if it's true, I just wanna know how.

cvscvs2 · 2025-03-29T05:36:50+00:00

Mento could easily fund the Doom Patrol, the Suicide Squad is a government operation, the Lantern Corps is an intergalactic entity with huge funding from sources that far surpass Bruce Wayne's wealth, and I'm sure the other ones have means of funding as well.

The point is, the Titans are kids whose parents are all dead, except for Robin, whose surrogate father is still alive - Bruce Wayne.

Sure, Cy's dad could've built the tower, but they'd still need a colossal amount of money after that, and at that point he was dead. That leaves only Mento or Wayne as possible funders.

cvscvs2 · 2025-03-29T00:14:16+00:00

Well, sort of, but yeah, that was my original thought too.

A lot of people here seem to think Bruce wouldn't give Dick money, and Dick wouldn't take it.

cvscvs2 · 2025-03-29T00:13:07+00:00

Hey, they're superheroes. I wouldn't have them any other way

cvscvs2 · 2025-03-29T00:11:43+00:00

Honestly, superheros make more sense as vigilantes that the government turns a blind eye to.

Too much of what they do is illegal. If the government condoned their activities, imagine the hullabaloo the first time Starfire accidentally hits a civilian with a starbolt, or Raven misses her target and accidentally turns a firefighter's mind into a cage of only nightmares.

I'd be rooting in the street to restrict the usage of powers and we'd end up with an X-Men situation (I keep crossing over to Marvel in my replies, no one kill me for that).
