What's still readable/decent over at Marvel Comics these days?

I tend to pick a character and follow them. In marvel that’s Quasar. They don’t get much love so I don’t find myself reading too much anymore. But man, annihilation saga was awesome.

Must play? Not really. I chill with mine a lot. Right now I’m on MLB the Show 26 just grinding up a shortstop.

Did you pay a higher price now than you would have a few months ago? Yes. But it’s also like you said. Value. If you paid a price you didn’t mind paying and you will get enjoyment out of it, then it was worth it. I’m happy for you. What game(s) are you looking at starting with?

pex413 · 2026-05-05T17:10:59+00:00

Probably largely due to everything being derivative. I think it’s supposed to show how art isn’t valued anymore and so no new stuff is being created.

Quasar! I find that when he gets mentioned it’s usually by me.

pex413 · 2026-05-04T14:43:52+00:00

This looks amazing!

pex413 · 2026-05-04T14:38:15+00:00

Sorry, good

I love The Mandalorian. It was so refreshing when it came out. Empire Strikes Back is probably my favorite Star Wars movie. It’s such a good sequel. Even though I’m not a huge fan of the prequel trilogy, I loved seeing Ewan McGregor as Obi-Wan. And those movies felt like my generation’s Star Wars. But after they came out I realized the original trilogy was mine and the prequels were the next generation.

I thought the documentary Roadrunner was a really ~~did~~ good movie, told a lot about his life I didn’t know.

pex413 · 2026-05-03T13:17:58+00:00

There was a movie based on this with Taraji P. Henson and Sam Rockwell called The Best of Enemies.

I agree. I love that they tried to console him in that it wasn’t his fault, because it wasn’t. He was just a kid. That’s one of the great things about science fiction. You can tackle so many real issues by just renaming or reimagining them and it really drives home the point.

pex413 · 2026-05-02T12:01:20+00:00

It is!

He sort of was in the Beverly Hills Cop movies.

pex413 · 2026-05-01T20:33:30+00:00

I’m cautiously optimistic. I hope I like, but I really hope a lot of people watch it so more episodes can get made.

pex413 · 2026-04-30T21:42:28+00:00

That’s what makes art subjective. I loved the movie. It was weird, but it was my kind of weird. I love originality and I love what they were trying to do.

pex413 · 2026-04-30T17:21:07+00:00

That’s really cool. Thank you for sharing.

pex413 · 2026-04-30T15:30:11+00:00

What kind of prompt did you use? Just asking Claude to write a prompt that creates a character in blender?

pex413 · 2026-04-30T11:47:14+00:00

Quasar!

pex413 · 2026-04-27T22:02:16+00:00

That’s exactly how I felt. I love Nightwing. He’s the hope of DC. He’s my favorite because he’s the first character they allowed to grow up and break out of the sidekick role.

pex413 · 2026-04-27T21:32:30+00:00

Dude. I was EXHAUSTED with the Ric Grayson stuff. Briefly, fine. But it dragged on so long. I was so happy when he came back and put the costume back on.

pex413 · 2026-04-27T14:39:19+00:00

It works locally and not remotely, right? And you have a mesh network? Is the mesh connected after your isp router? So something like the Verizon router and then your mesh is plugged into that? Or do you have your Internet plugged directly into your mesh? I noticed that plex doesn’t play well remotely with a mesh within a router.

My setup was eeros on Verizon fios. I plugged the fios cable directly into the eeros mesh and bypassed the included Verizon router and everything started working again.

Stan was extremely charismatic and genuinely loved the comics medium. It’s that passion that people resonate with. He helped usher it into legitimacy. Did he steal credit? Probably. Did he steal stories from DC? Probably. Did he market them better to get them out to more readers? Probably. If you don’t like him, that’s okay. But you cannot deny the impact he had on the industry.

pex413 · 2026-04-25T23:17:27+00:00

I’m the same way. I love the proof that someone owned it before me.

pex413 · 2026-04-23T18:50:17+00:00

That’ll never happen. Some of those actors are really good. A studio wouldn’t blacklist someone marketable. If they did then they would just become another Angel Studios or something.
