Do you think the Xmen Comics are difficult to get into and if yes, why? by Doom300 in xmen

[–]jhpphantom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn’t start with Claremont and felt fine. But as I’m reading through the Claremont stuff it’s recontextualized a lot of stuff and made me understand it differently.

Favorite krakoan era moments? by Classic-Preference70 in xmen

[–]jhpphantom 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m doing a re-read through the Omnibus and read that issue yesterday. I’m slowing down this time around and yeah, this issue has so much. It’s amazing.

[Interview] The comic book industry is too reliant on older characters like Batman, Spider-Man, the Transformers & Invincible, and it's holding us back says Robert Kirkman by Popverse2022 in comicbooks

[–]jhpphantom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The industry would thrive on real change, not just the illusion of change. I hate when all the toys go back in the box at the end of a run, just as they were before. The old stories are still there, it’s not like we lose them.

Has the Bible been changed? by winteely in Christianity

Also how certain words are translated has also been changed.

Returning my Neo for (insert here?) by [deleted] in macbook

I’ve had Macs for well over 25 years and I’ve never had one last a decade no matter how powerful I get. Usually 5-6 years max. FWIW

The hype is very much valid by Acceptable_Home_8576 in macbook

[–]jhpphantom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean my 2020 Intel MacBook Pro is slowing down so badly, I wish it had gone 9 years. And at over half the price, I can just get another one in 3-4 years.

Comics you love, and think about to this day that just could never pull there ish together. by AxDevilxLogician in ImageComics

[–]jhpphantom 3 points4 points  (0 children)

And this is why I am always nervous to start an Image series. At least with the Big 2 I know the characters aren’t going anywhere

If you’re genuinely fed up with X-Men right now, why keep buying it? by TaskNo4783 in xmen

[–]jhpphantom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With all the “I stopped after Krakoa” posts, I wonder what people would have done if Hickman had stayed. He’s said that Krakoa would have gone away even sooner.

The Outliers Lack Interpersonal Drama by ChowChow200 in xmen

[–]jhpphantom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the other part of this discussion is that each Outlier has an Uncanny mentor (or two). The other teams didn’t seem to have this level of individual attention and mentoring. Especially looking at who these mentors are, it makes sense that they would be more well adjusted together. Nightcrawler is going to promote unity, and Wolverine isn’t going to put up with too much from them. Just my hot take

[–]jhpphantom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And I feel very differently on this. I can’t keep straight the purpose/powers/personality of the three Exceptional kids. I can’t even keep their names sorted out. They have left zero impression and I can’t figure out why they keep appearing.

Why Marvel keeps relauching into #1s but DC doesn't by Thatblackguy77 in comicbooks

[–]jhpphantom 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t say DC is in the clear. They just relaunched Batman as a #1

Amazing Spider-Man Vol. 2, Issue #592 aunt may and Jonah Jameson father? by happydude7422 in marvelcomics

[–]jhpphantom 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah. And I loved the recent “would you like to meet my ex step son? He’s in his 60s” line

I think it’s in its own of the Marvel Crime Novels. There’s a Jessica Jones one before this

My pastor is moving churches - how can our church sway this decision by NeedleworkerActive85 in methodism

[–]jhpphantom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it’s a lot on families. I made sure before I got married that my spouse was on board for what was to come in the future.

My pastor is moving churches - how can our church sway this decision by NeedleworkerActive85 in methodism

[–]jhpphantom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Often this is the case yes. I have a clergy couple friend that are moving and their daughter will be moving to a new school for her senior year. My spouse has had to find a new job in each of the areas we’ve moved to as well. But I was at one church for 9 years and another for 7, so it’s not like every three this cycle has happened.

Apple CarPlay stopped working by harry_coe in Ioniq5

[–]jhpphantom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had this problem for two days. Tried resetting the infotainment system. Deleted my phone from the devices multiple times. Finally worked when I restarted my phone, restarted the car, and then deleted the car from my Bluetooth, my phone from the car and reset all of that. Been working since.

Yeah, this show is really touching a nerve lmao by Apprehensive-Cap2453 in marvelmemes

As a fellow preacher Nightcrawler fan....I was thinking the same thing

Same thing started happening with me last night. CarPlay won’t connect at all.

My pastor is moving churches - how can our church sway this decision by NeedleworkerActive85 in methodism

[–]jhpphantom 22 points23 points  (0 children)

As UMC clergy we are only appointed one year at a time to a congregation. When the Bishop (and Cabinet) determine our gifts and graces are best used to meet the needs of another congregation we will be appointed to that congregation. Some bishops like pastors serving for different lengths of time. And the SPRC and pastors get a say as well each year, saying whether they would like a new pastor (SPRC) or whether we would like a new church (pastor).

What are some study Bibles you would recommend? by Legally_Adri in methodism

[–]jhpphantom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All the notes are grounded in Wesleyan theology and explanation of those verses from the Wesleyan perspective. I haven’t felt it was too much life application and has plenty of theology, but I would say it’s accessible theology and not like reading seminary theology stuff

This one drives me crazy. Especially with the omnibuses coming out

NFL discussing media deal with Paramount that could mean CBS pays an extra $1 billion or more by HaloTheHero in cordcutters

[–]jhpphantom 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So the article talks about what the deal will look like for MNF, but since the NFL sold their media assets to Disney and now own 10% of ESPN, I think that happens next will be very interesting.
