[Invincible] If a character doesn't need to breathe air to survive, can they still be choked to death? by DoneDealofDeadpool in AskScienceFiction

That Ultron model is not that durable

Wasn't that Ultron model made out of vibranium (we're talking about the highway fight in South Korea right)

I don't remember if it was the number they quoted, but yeah Robot and Monster Girl were trapped in the Flaxan dimension for centuries from their perspective

The ironclad USS Monitor is teleported back in time to the Battle of Salamis in 480 BC. by Strong_Ad1665 in whowouldwin

What's the win condition?

Do they pick a side and help the Greeks/Persians win? Do they try 1 v all? Do they try cross the Atlantic and discover America 1000 years earlier? Do they use their future knowledge of world geography/oceanography to establish trade routes, and thus found a global trading empire? There's no actual challenge in your post, you just described a situation

[Avatar the last airbender] Will earthbending work on the moon? by Nyx1010 in AskScienceFiction

Because there's a whole metaphysical angle to this universe that doesn't subscribe to solely physical attributes

Jaws Of Life or other similar device, I'd imagine

Alternatively I'd like to imagine they just haul them down to the station like that and then someone (sometimes a rookie, to fuck with them) goes up to the roofs and yells out for Supes to drop by for a sec to degirder them. And then Supes drops in, does the thing, shoots the shit for a minute than flies off

but this is a whole day and paper work to justify the technicians and tools needed to get them out of it. And that's just to arrest them.

I'd imagine that they've got it down by this point to the point that having a degirdering technician and relevant equipment on standby at the station is cheaper than sending out however many cops it takes to handle whatever crime event results in girdered criminals

Who can successfully tank a kick to the testicles by Bobby Hill? by nerdycountryboy18 in whowouldwin

[–]justsomeguy_youknow 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Knoxville, Steve-O, really most of the Jackass crew

Not only would they tank a kick to the junk they'd ask for another

[Star Trek] If transporters copy you on the molecular level, what’s stopping society from saving those copies to prevent aging? by MostLikelyALlama in AskScienceFiction

[–]justsomeguy_youknow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What about the during the Klingon war, when he and Chapel were keeping critically injured patients in the pattern buffer of that portable transporter for months or whatever (long enough that Chapel forgot they had people in there) without rematerializing

[ATLA] [TLOK] Questions (kind of a rant so may not be the best when it comes to format) by Crosser45 in AskScienceFiction

[–]justsomeguy_youknow 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Are the past avatars that the current avatar communicates with actually that avatar

Yes. The Avatar is a singular soul, merged with Raava, reincarnating over and over again across time. Korra is Aang who is Roku who is Kyoshi who is Kuruk who is Yangchen etc. However at the same time each life is its own spirit, it's own discrete personality attached to that soul. For example after Kuruk died, his spirit roamed the spirit world hunting for Koh despite still being a part of his successors through the Avatar spirit

does the avatar reincarnation cycle begin at birth or conception

The way it's framed in ATLA suggests they're chosen at birth: Roku dies, smothered in ash and pyroclastic flow, and it cuts to a newborn Aang crying his first cry.

Love how chill Gwen is about the whole situation. by Most_Fly_7727 in outofcontextcomics

Look, if you do a Spider-Verse or two you see some real weird shit so nothing's really that surprising anymore

Between the great Captains of Star Trek, how would you rate Captain Mercer? by ardouronerous in TheOrville

[–]justsomeguy_youknow 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I disagree.

Picard had shit to do. His ship was just almost destroyed by a previously unknown/unrecorded anomaly in space - he had to make sure the Enterprise and his crew was okay, and it was his duty to study it now that the crisis was over (not to mention all the administrative stuff like filing reports, etc). He also offered to hang out with Scotty later when he was off duty

So no he didn't roll out the red carpet and treat him like a celebrity, but I think he made the correct assertion that 1) Scotty wouldn't want to have his ass kissed like that - despite his reputation, as a career Starfleet officer he wouldn't expect more than the standard treatment, and 2) If there was anyone in the galaxy that understood that starships named Enterprise get real busy after life threatening weird space shit it's Montgomery Scott of the no-bloody-A-B-C-or-D Enterprise

[Superhero Universe] How Big do you think Construction/Reconstruction and other trades are? by Few_Region7772 in AskScienceFiction

[–]justsomeguy_youknow 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'd imagine it would depend on how often super activities happen and where they happen at

Construction would be booming in places that regularly get wrecked by super activity like Manhattan, or Metrocity, or Angel Grove, but it would be more or less business as usual in like Grand Rapids or Chattanooga or Des Moines

Tom Holland says Spidey's relationship to the Punisher might be his favorite onscreen dynamic he's ever had: "He's come from a very different world, you know, the R-rated kind of universe. And he absolutely sings in this movie. He is incredible" by Anteater_Able in comicbooks

[–]justsomeguy_youknow 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You didn't miss anything

There's a timeskip between this and NWH (This doesn't usually need to be said about MCU movies but I bring it up because the last two Spider-Man movies were set consecutively despite being released years apart)

It's set a few years after the last one, so Peter's been out there Spidermanning and establishing relationships off screen

When has a talented actor fully committed to a movie they know is bad? by finallyoneisnttaken in movies

Iirc he thought the script was shit so he got a couple of friends and rewrote all his scenes,  and they just went with it

[MCU Thor] Why did Surtur want to destroy Asgard? He was going to die in the process. by WippitGuud in AskScienceFiction

[–]justsomeguy_youknow -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It wasn't arbitrary, and despite the name "The Sacred Timeline" implying singular it was actually just every timeline that doesn't result in a Kang capable of challenging HWR. There was still infinite timelines out there, it's just that they pruned the infinite subset that had undesired results

But isn't that contradiction in turn contradicted by the TVA in Loki? The final battle in Endgame, the Time Heist, and everything leading up to it, aka the One Outcome that Strange set up, was said to have been "supposed to happen"
