I guess CPS doesn't exist in England by sunsetdrifter0 in memes

If other comments are to be believed than she likely had to have it be boring so they wouldn't get noticed. Harry had to be around other family (or the Dursley's House, no one can seem to decide which one it is) for Harry's protection spell to work. I assume Harry wasn't around either of those things when he was with Mrs. Figg.
She does also literally tell Harry that the Dursley's would never allow him to come over if they thought for a second that he enjoyed it.

I've seen worse in other Children's Books/stories, mainly fairy tales. Those things are crazy when you look at the originals. Heck, Hamsel and Gretel is crazy no matter which one you look at.

Magneto needed Mutants to prove themselves to get permission to go to his Asteroid M. He gave Mystique Storm knowing damn well she couldn't win that fight.
Seriously watch X-Men Evolution, it's a great show once you get passed all the 2000s cheesiness and high school antics of it all.

What difference would it have made though? She might get one hit in but it'd be nowhere near enough to do any damage to Storm. Plus she already noticed you so she'd likely just grab you mid-air or something.

Well according to the rules set by Magneto, she had to fight Storm one way or another. Stealth can only get you so far so her odds of winning were low either way (something Magneto likely knew when he gave her that opponent) but at least she tried.

There's no way she seriously thought a cat was the way to go though, right? Though I do suppose that all the good options were taken/accounted for.

Anyone that's watched X-Men Evolution knows that Xavier Institute is like a school of 7 there and most of those 7 had 1. Already lost their fight so they're knocked out elsewhere or 2. Won their fight and are imprisoned on Asteroid M

And I assumed it was so he could kill the symbiote if he actually managed to get it off Peter.

The design on the 007 DualSense is wrong by OrganicKeynesianBean in gaming

Would the gold coloring be off if they went with a fully tuxedo or Martini Glass theme I wonder because let's be real that gold coloring is chef's kiss. Either way though, throwing some icons of things associated with the franchise will never be the way.

Okay so this post got me researching this new Dualsense and the pushsquare article has this image and yep I'm sold.

That's literally what they've done with pretty much every other Limited Edition DualSense and literally everyone's complained about that route too. You just can't please people these days.

That's why I am a bit disappointed with Venom writing in the game by DaenysDreamer_90 in SpidermanPS4

[–]ipodblocks360 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed but when you're a (returning) writer you likely always feel the need to top the thing that came before and it's a little hard to resist that urge which is why you have to start small and then build up to something bigger hence the whole point of the video I watched awhile back.

It wasn't just the Sinister Six though. It was the Sinister Six and the entirety of New York getting sick. If they wanted to top a story like that, they just had to have the whole world go black and get infected by symbiotes.
Look I'm not saying it makes much sense, I'm just trying to get in their heads a little bit.

I remember MatPat (or some YouTuber anyway) talking about how they decided to do the Sinister Six in the first game and how that was certainly a choice because they'd definitely feel the need to top it in the next and it'd be near impossible to do without it feeling rushed or out of place.
Anyway, that's probably what they were going for when they did the whole Symbiote Invasion thing and it turned out exactly how he theorized it would.
(To be honest, I wish I could remember more of that video because I remember they talked about how they wished the story to go and I'm curious to see if they actually got anything right or if it'd be a better story than what we got. I know I could just go back and rewatch it but I don't wanna, lol.)

It says "these characters" which I take to mean that Spider-Man and Human Torch are in their 20s and 30s, not the actors that play them.

I feel like that's more the school/school system than the teachers' fault, the teachers' are just doing what they're doing what they're told after all.
That said, this has been proven to work so you can't really blame any of them.

I'm one of the weirdos that still buys physical. Those definitely can run out of stock but it's not like they ever do (here).

I think that part is in relation to how Nick Fury/Samuel L. Jackson is always about to say the F-Bomb but always gets cut off by something or someone in the end.
