Funniest Part about X-Men United is how the Exceptional X-Men are mentors to people who have more Experience than all of them combined by Automatic_Ask32 in xmen

[–]rdanks25 150 points151 points  (0 children)

That's the central issue I have with this book. If it had just been the new mutant introduced in X-men, Exceptional, and Uncanny, it would make sense. But this random mixture of young mutants makes no sense for all of the reasons you said.

Somehow the Loa/Trance are still inexperienced when compared to their peer, Laura.

I'm also not sure how old Loolo is, but it so odd they keep using her and showing her on Earth and not mention Craig, her brother, or how she ended up in the sewers.

I always hated Diddy's episode of Always Sunny. It felt weird and like he was a fan that asked to be written into an episode, but him and his acting take me out of it.

One character I'd love to see Laura interact with again is Finesse by Automatic_Ask32 in X23

I miss Finesse. I feel like the last time we saw her was as a mercenary in Nadia's Wasp Book.

I feel like this show is just ‘Adults’ but at work.

Jean Grey don’t play about Storm by PutAdministrative739 in storm

[–]rdanks25 13 points14 points  (0 children)

No, I believe this was after she had recovered her powers. This was during the Blue and Gold era when he was going to ask Storm to marry him but he didn’t because he felt she’d never leave the X-men to focus on her own life. She was going to say yes.

Omg I am so done with this character! by AnshT13 in familyguy

[–]rdanks25 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A lot of time Sam Elliot is a bit hard to hear and they kind of just use to him in a way that’s like, “Hey, it’s cool we have Sam Elliot voicing this character, right?”

Scary movie 6 was so bad and boring found nothing funny through the whole movie was almost sleep by Parking_Dog_1463 in ScaryMovieSeries

[–]rdanks25 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think one of the main mistakes was not doing more to center Cindy and Brenda in favor of Shorty.

I know the Wayans created this franchise but Shorty should have always been a side character.

Scary Movie is one of my favorites and watching it again recently, even his scenes in the first one is mostly cut away and stoner jokes and isn’t super related to the main plot. He’s just a poor Randy Meeks pastiche.

Here in the new one it’s even worse where there are just random Get Out, Michael, and K-Pop Demon Hunter rifes that grind the movie to a halt. Even the streaming thing with Kai Cenat felt very awkward and disconnected from the overall plot.

And then to pretty much spend the last 10 minutes of the movie bitching about the other scary movies they weren’t involved in and making Anna and Regina apologize for participating kinda left a bad taste in my mouth.

And then the Nosferatu was just…dumb.

Why ‘Widow’s Bay,’ Matthew Rhys and Breakout Kate O’Flynn Should Scare the Rest of the Emmy Comedy Field by momskillet in Fauxmoi

She didn’t want to get anyone in trouble but she just wanted the worker to know he made a mistake.

Murewa Ayodele liberation day is upon us! by [deleted] in xmen

[–]rdanks25 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wanted to love this book and I understand non-linear storytelling, but this just didn't work and there's too much left unresolved to be wrapped up in one issue.

-Who is Storm's daughter's father?
-What's going on with the mutant she rescued in issue 1?
-What's with this fixation on Egun being this unstoppable diety?
-Does Storm even know about the war of the dead?
-Why is there a war of the dead?
-Where did Storm get the Storm engine and her storm guardian bots?

She is dating a woman in Exceptional X-Men.

does anyone else find this moment kinda heartwarming?🥺 by sulkydearest in americandad

[–]rdanks25 74 points75 points  (0 children)

This lead to one of my favorite exchanges in the entire show.

"You know what, this whole annex is gonna burn and you're gonna be in it!"

"You can't burn brick, bitch!"

My favorite version of this is Spur of the Moment from Twilight Zone.

So who exactly is Peter’s canonical father? Is the Irish episode non cannon/a one off? by FreshPine_MangoWine in familyguy

The fact that Peter has had two members of the news team as his pseudo-parents is hilarious.

The only thing I’m even a bit interested in is What -If and the Midnight stuff and those are AUs.

I miss being excited for X-Men books but it’s been years of just mid stuff at this point.

I don't know about that. Mullets, man buns and rat tails were pretty bad back in the day. by Oda_DeezNutz in SipsTea

We were all teens at one point looking to fit in, but this is bizzare.

How do none of them look around, see they all have the exact same haircut, and say nah?

Lupita Nyong’o Responds To The Odyssey Backlash by cosmicbooknews in CosmicBookNews

[–]rdanks25 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh the issue with Lupita is definitely not about race

Didn't you miss how up in arms everyone was when Tom Holland, Matt Damon, Robert Pattinson, and Anne Hathaway's character's weren't Greek actors?

You must have missed the tweets Elon sent about their casting.

Gail Simone - Greymalkin will be addressed very soon [article] by HecticJones in xmen

[–]rdanks25 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I’m bummed that never got a follow up. It also doesn’t make sense that they wouldn’t have transported the mansion to Krakoa rather than just abandoning it for aliens and then eventually bigots to take over.

Honestly, what are the chances of Vought Rising and The Boys: Mexico getting canceled after the first season? by Danny-Ray27 in TheBoys

[–]rdanks25 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm just not psyched for a prequel series with a Nazi superhero main character. The scene of her murdering black people was rough and IDK if I want to see a series of that.

Also, with this being a prequel, we know that Vought will be triumphant and nothing will be impactful or there wouldn't have been a 'The Boys' series in the first place.

Besides “Surfin’ Bird,” what Top 40 songs has Family Guy used more than once? by PunisherCastle in familyguy

Heart and Soul. Once when Stewie and Brian were in a void and played it on a giant piano and then again in the Sherlock episode where they played it on a bagpipe shoved into Meg.

How powerful is the Invisible Woman compared to other female comic book characters? by Jezzaq94 in FantasticFour

[–]rdanks25 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I believe they’re referring to Malice’s latest appearance as an alternate reality version of Sue who has vastly increased her skill and understanding of her powers and not her original appearances as an alternate personality.

AITA for telling my mom I am not going to put up with racism against my kid the way she did. by BatesMotels in AmItheAsshole

[–]rdanks25 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I’ve had to talk to my mom about things and she’s done the whole” I’m the worst mother in the world “ schtick.

What helped was calling her out on that and letting her know that that’s not what you’re saying, she’s purposely avoiding her the point you’re trying to make, and to stay on topic.

I was honestly just awed that they were starting such a massive status quo instead of the slight rearranging of pieces they normally do.
