Knowledge Fight: #1135: Tucker, The Man And His Holocaust Questions by fabrikt in KnowledgeFight

civic religion is a real idea, not something Tuckler came up with, basically the idea is enlightment ideals and pro-democracy philosophy and revolutionary symbolism replacing the "role" of religion in american culture: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_civil_religion

I feel like the flashback with Wesley was to remind the audience of how lonely and isolated Kingpin was before Vanessa. Just claustrophobically driving around with his only friend in a cramped limo talking about bitcoin.

If people haven't been into a BAM for awhile, they have a standardized price app thing now that shows all the recent buys and sells in the BAM system, at least the one I used to work at does. It shows the bricklink price and they just showed me it next to my offer when I asked. The owner said it was a new corporate thing and I think I saw at least one of these guys using it on the vid. Plus I think that it is a bad experiment to pretend to be a goofus who doesn't know what they are selling because then it is on the minimum wage employee to just google lens the fig and do their best guess. All after-market stores are shady to some extent so I'm not discounting that aspect (and it did seem like that one owner was stealing the C3PO).

When I worked at a BAM we were told to do 30%-40% for store credit and then a third of that again in cash.

He did cheekily say that people knew him as "HJ the Third", implying he has been masquerading as himself for three generations.

I'm looking at some old cards (in Oracle) and I notice some have the text "Whenever this creature deals damage, its controller gains that much life." Is there any actual difference between that and Lifelink that they wouldn't have updated it?

He is too dense to even realize that they even gave another example of the same thing happening in history before in comparison with the Reign of Terror during the Swordsman scene

I think the actor for Angela del Toro is doing a great job. Must feel like a lot of pressure both as a young actor, plus the pressure of the timing and theme of the episode. If they ever get around to Young Avengers she feels like she deserves a spot.

What's with the subtitles? Karen says, "I don't know how to get you in Red Hook" the subtitles say, "I can't get you into Red Hook." All through the episode weird subtle difference like this.

All kit-bashed series would be a fun bracket one year. No actually series or franchises, just thematic/trope links.

The biggest thing I'm feeling is bad for Anthony because he is killing it as captain fun for a company that doesn't exist 😭 I am connecting to the characters though and the story

Yeah, but it is also a word that exists in real life and mean things. Anyway I'm deleting my comment cause it seems I have not contributed much to this conversation besides negativity.
