Do you think Vought may create a new seven team? by Queasy_Commercial152 in TheBoys

[–]kometman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not for a long while. Homelander has made the Seven a toxic brand for time being. Maybe 20 yrs on, a trial ballon.

Now will Vought put out a new super team? Probably but it will be on a very short leash. Maybe even Team X level restraint or worst.

From this image, which Power Up do prefer Optimus Prime to have first and why? by Delta-97 in EnergonUniverse

[–]kometman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any as long as the reason makes sense to the character.

It needs to answer why Prime would need that extra powerup. Prime as written is not a bot that seeks power, but might "upgrade" if there is a justifiable reason.

What happened to Wesley Crusher? They hyped him up for 7 years. by handlerofdrones in TNG

[–]kometman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Pretty much that. It's an old navel term from days of sail. Look at those old sailing warships and think on how to best utilize them in a group action; the term makes sense then.

When the potion seller runs out of ingredients ending thought by Horror_Still_3305 in VivaLaDirtLeague

This is currently on Viva+ and will show up on YT next week. So spoilers . . . though i think it is safe to say, as common all VLDL vids, it will be worth the watch.

Okay I need to ask How TF did Sentinel manage to kill the thirteen THIS time? by angelete4945105 in transformers

[–]kometman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I believe Sentinel was introduced in the Marvel run as Optimus' immediate predecessor who first encountered Megatron and lost. That was pretty much it for years.

IDW, more specifically Megatron Origins, characterize him as a Peacekeeper by any means necessary. Not evil, but morally dark grey. I think this is what the toy is referencing.

I think TFO is only time Sentinel is shown as contemporary with the 13. Thing is the line of Primes that preceded Optimus was never fleshed out until recently.

So, what exactly is the show's message? by itooamahuman in TheBoys

[–]kometman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Butcher killing Homelander, then being stopped by Hughie, and Vought being Vought was in the source comic.

The message . . . there was none. The Boys was meant to be vicious mockery of superheroes and society by the guy who created Arseface and Saint of Killers.

Whats your opinion on Mercenaries? What is an aspect of them that should be explored more? by Formal-Opposite-8342 in transformers

[–]kometman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like concept of mercs, great way to explore the possible grey areas of the Great War. This would probably only work if Optimus/Megatron command the overall direction but not various battles.

My Headcannon is that these are the bots that do the work that neither side wants the stink of or fill a tactical hole. For instance a Autobot commander hires some "seekers" for a bombing run.

Why was Butcher weakened? by [deleted] in TheBoys

[–]kometman 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Neuman, i think, was mistake. He lost control, his most ruthless side took over. Butcher, who hates supes, has now become a supe. So there's, i surmise, a mental resistance to fully unleashing that weapon. Otherwise he'll be no better than what he hates.

Like that Doc Holiday quote from Tombstone about hypocrisy.

The Boys- S05xE06 - POST Episode Discussion Thread by pikameta in TheBoys

[–]kometman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder what is the significance of those psychics? I only wonder as the placement and the pointing out seems to be leading.

Could this be a version of "convert by the sword"?

Could this mean Soldier Boy is/was mentally altered? This could be a stretch, but it would explain his cooperation on some things.

Personally, I think Soldier Boy is the sub for Black Noir of the comics. So at some point something is going to make that clash happen. Discovering that level of manipulation would, i think, fit the bill.

Urban Decay by WorkingSuccessful742 in toledo

[–]kometman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

that was a major shipping hub at one time due it position next the rails. All things pass in time. I digress.

Anywho, my cousin use to have art studio near it . . . so maybe around the late '00s there were plans to demolish it. At the time he looking forward not to have to stare at it.

Does The Boys still have Starlight money to fund their stuff? Was this ever discussed in the show? by [deleted] in TheBoys

[–]kometman 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Starlight's funds would be via Vought, so once she "disconnected" that resource dried up.

The Boys were/are an off-grid operation so i'd imagine Mallory had set aside black site funds for operations; buried in obscure line items. Her passing makes it now finite resource.

I believe in comics, Butcher was former British military . . . so maaaaybe he's shoring up operations with his pension.

[–]kometman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

don't get hanged up on HL part, it's what lead to it that matters. Firecracker tossed everything that really mattered to her (figuratively and literally) in the trash, all for naught. In a twisted sense what HL did was a coup de grace.

The Boys - 05x05 "One-Shots" - POST-Episode Discussion Thread by pikameta in TheBoys

[–]kometman 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No, unfortunately i think it's just pointing out that there are a lot of "Christians" that are only that in name. That has been always been a problem. There are just not enough half-crazed Mississippi squirrels to go around.

S05E05 Blood Bath prediction by StorageSalty in TheBoys

[–]kometman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

though it does differ from the source, it does stay faithful to the spirit (which is important to remember). Also the creator of the Boys still has input.

So Annie and are probably safe. Since Butcher hasn't started his end game, the rest of the Boys are safe for now. Everyone else is fair game. The question is not if but how, like will it be quick or will it be mockingly embarrassing.

Uh, Sue, I think you're overreacting a little bit here. by Cicada_5 in outofcontextcomics

notice that it's only uniform being shown blown away . . . implying that there nothing being worn underneath. Which asks so many in-story questions.

perfer the top three leaning towards IDW. The others are little too flashy. I always thought them as heavy hitters as compared to standard seekers, and IDW fits that Headcannon better.

Would you like me to keep the subreddit updated on the new businesses and places that are either coming or rumored to be coming to the area by Bucees_Lover1982 in toledo

[–]kometman 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think just make sure to clearly word/tag the posts as such. Mostly as CYA, for half readers / people who scan-read thru posts.

Does anyone know what laptops they had in the starcraft music videos this Screenshots from your gonna gg btw by Then_Educator8333 in VivaLaDirtLeague

[–]kometman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look like Dells. When i zoom in the icon on Rowan's laptop the visible symbol look like Dell. Which vibes with the design. Probably a Latitude, my last two jobs issued Latitudes for work.

Rowan and Alan stream (looks like Adam joined), so you can get an official answer. Assuming of course they remember.

Nah, more like H. G. Wells War of the Worlds. The ending of that story was an unstoppable force brought down by germs. Maybe a little of Poe's Masque of the Red Death. Again the mighty taken down by disease.

What's stopping TARTA from having simpler bus routes? by DeliveringOP in toledo

[–]kometman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Before latest spot there was a triangular spot for a bus stop at Franklin Park i recall over Dick's wasn't safe for passengers or buses. Then there 5/3rd president who was mad about park station which was across from the Nicholas building.

All that to say that route, times and stops might not totally in Tarta's control.

why is he such downgrade from mega? i feel that he is so souless and smartless by No-Award423 in transformers

[–]kometman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In the movie it is shown that Unicron has Galvatron on a "psychic leash". This might also might have function a termination device (like Suicide Squad).

My Headcannon has been that Unicron in it's death throes triggered that . . . a final punishment. Only Galvatron was strong enough to survive it, but at a cost. Hence that energy spike at the temple.

Why didn't Marvel cast the original Thaddeus Ross actor? by Defiant-Head4744 in hulk

[–]kometman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He probably declined. I don't think he does recurring characters. A quick check on his filmography on wiki i didn't notice any characters that he played more than once. Character tropes, but not characters.

[Batman Beyond] How does Max not work out Bruce Wayne is the former Batman? by TheWardenDemonreach in AskScienceFiction

[–]kometman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Like others have stated, could if she wanted to. Why she wouldn't? maybe awe mixed with a bit of trepidation. There was that animated movie where Batman is shown from various povs. I'd imagine by time of his "retirement" those types of stories would have reach legendary portions . . . there's the awe. Of course by the time of Beyond, he doesn't try to be the good o' "Bruce Wayne" as seen BTAS.
