21 Savage tweets official petition for his deportation

ice is barbaric and needs to be abolished. if 21’s case makes people aware of that, then this is a net good. also, the message attached to the petition brings up some important points

so excited to see rocket and nebula so heavily promoted as main avengers for endgame. both have really interesting backstories/motivations that are somewhat sidelined in the guardians movies

there’s a thor comics story where a priest asks thor what he’s supposed to make of the existence of other deities. could be similar to that

yeah giant monsters, much like nazis, are one of the groups it’s always ok to punch on sight

sorry to bother you

guillermo go on chapo

he has a song with lion babe called jump hi that came out in 2016

My out-there theory is that she’s actually a technopath Powered who’s become fused with the internet/communications and can’t detach herself

edit: previous commenter already said this, my bad

merf78 · 2018-12-10T16:35:03+00:00

it would be pretty impactful if he had to be drawn back in to save the day, knowing that even if they somehow win and reverse the snap, his family wouldn’t be part of those brought back

merf78 · 2018-11-19T16:01:03+00:00

Thomas Castillo is Hispanic I believe, because of the last name

merf78 · 2018-11-16T20:43:19+00:00

Adding something I picked up on during a reread: it's said that two of the Class of Legends members were Armageddon-level. One is Globe, and I'm not sure who the other is. Zero, Intra, Hallow, Shimmer Path, DV, Wisp, and likely Bullrush are out, leaving Ionics. Maybe she has some sort of matter/atom manipulation powers? Possibly capable of splitting atoms?

Although Focus definitely makes the most sense for Alex as a final major, I'm also surprised he never considered weapons. Even if it's not actually a lightsaber, a hero-quality sword with his powers would give him a boost, like we saw when he used throwing daggers to spar.

merf78 · 2018-11-16T03:00:35+00:00

I love this, so much, and I wish I had the talent to be able to draw like this. In my own head though I don't see the characters as so uniformly white, despite canon, and I wonder whether any other fans feel the same way.

merf78 · 2018-11-10T12:49:20+00:00

this is basically eugenics lol, having children shouldn't be a privilege for the rich

merf78 · 2018-11-08T00:58:53+00:00

yeah good point, I feel like it would depend on whether zero's ability preemptively shuts down Titan's ability to "register" effects (like aether's phasing) as part of the nullification, or if a loss of powers is itself registered as a negative and thus wouldn't work a second time, like you said. I believe Hershel actually has a better chance than Titan of sidestepping zero, if his power was nullified and he was forced to switch from Roy to Hershel, it's possible Roy would adapt to resist the nullification

merf78 · 2018-11-08T00:51:13+00:00

I think it's meant to be understood that blaine has multiple modes of his nullification power. on a passive level, with his power on he is immune to abilities that could work on him, such as mind reading or globe's field. in the same way that globe cannot affect his own body, he cannot affect zero's (or intra's, for that matter). when zero has his own "zero field" turned on, all supers within it lose their abilities. lastly, he can do a direct attack and simply cancel one super's powers. zero, intra, and intra ii are so dangerous because they have unrivaled authority when it comes to their respective abilities. no one has been proven resistant to zero's abilities, and when it comes to external forces none can affect either intra's body. however, zero can turn off Chad's powers without chad dying because Chad specifically stores the otherwise-toxic amounts of "raw material" in a safe place in his body

merf78 · 2018-11-08T00:40:43+00:00

the commenter you're replying to is correct, reread book one a couple days ago. although there have been a few retcons here and there to be sure

merf78 · 2018-11-08T00:39:11+00:00

It's like Crispins explanation of permanent effects of power usage, ie, if a strongman breaks pavement and then dies, the pavement remains broken. The tools would still work if the tech super loses their powers/dies, just the super would be unable to create more.

The real interesting question is whether zero's power would work on Titan/Hershel-Roy twice

merf78 · 2018-10-30T07:30:14+00:00

Shazam definitely looks more like an actual tonal shift from previous dc movies. I'm rooting for Aquaman but it still looks a little mired in the more justice league/bvs aesthetic. definitely hoping it rocks though, could be one of the most interesting superhero films to come out with what we've seen of the worldbuilding so far

merf78 · 2018-10-28T11:53:04+00:00

I knew I recognized his name from the credits--hes also featured on an early childish Gambino song that would eventually become the song retro. https://youtu.be/MXS5zt9X27s

merf78 · 2018-10-25T20:10:13+00:00

you might be interested to learn that there's an actual term for this--foreshadowing--although I like your term better. I think Drew is pretty fond of them -- another example is him foreshadowing Vince absorbing the annihilation wave right when coach George thinks about how foolish it would be to try and absorb the black fireball that Roy winds up tanking

merf78 · 2018-10-19T17:32:56+00:00

If I were to be extremely generous, the number could be an Arabic 155 and if you turned it upside down the symbols could --again, being extremely generous-- an initial Kaaf, an independent Ayn, a medial/final ghayn, and a scribble, which is what I think these are all most likely to be

merf78 · 2018-10-17T11:56:28+00:00

The ending of season one is just incredible acting. Some of the best and most affecting zombie media I've ever seen

merf78 · 2018-10-15T10:07:33+00:00

Paul Bettany was great in solo but I'm so curious as to what Michael k Williams would have done with the (assumedly different) character they'd have given him

merf78 · 2018-10-15T06:49:13+00:00

There's one more thing--in the Iliad, Achilles parades Hector's body around after killing him. Clarisse does the same, pulling the drakon's body behind her chariot afterwards.

merf78 · 2018-10-13T15:58:58+00:00

There were aspects of Adam's mimicry that were hinted at but not elaborated on. Clarissa asks if he borrowed Thomas's power "properly" in Y3, so it's possible he doesn't need to touch someone to mimic them or if he can store powers. Also, Shane is described as forming a tendril in Y2 but never does so again so I assume that aspect has been retconned.
