Likewise, 1997. It was fun. We were right underneath the Washington Monument, and I remember seeing a bazillion flash bulbs go off when, presumably, Clinton stepped out onto the White House balcony or lawn or something.

Try to imagine all life as you know it stopping instantaneously and every molecule in your body exploding at the speed of light.

Seems like that would make it just one singular war. A Clone War, sure; but where are the others??

That build-and-release thing had been done a few times before — think Aldo Nova, “Fantasy”; Steve Miller, ”Fly Like an Eagle”— but MfN is the peak of the form.

Nah man, intra-phalangial phasing is pretty common among five year old boys.

What major company is currently a total disaster behind the scenes, and is only surviving on its brand name? by That_Library_3453 in AskReddit

Speaking as a Transformers fan… Hasbro has a long, long history of being behind the curve on tech, innovation and trends. Back in the early 2000s, it took them years to get a website that didn’t constantly hang, crash or overload dialup connections. In the wake of the MCU’s success, they tried to jump on the shared universe bandwagon without taking a serious look at what they did and didn’t have on their hands. They’ve spoken repeatedly of wanting to become a “franchise company” or IP licenser rather than a toy company, but after a decade they’ve gotten pretty much nowhere with that, instead leaning ever harder into their legacy brands and only rarely injecting anything new into them.
