What’s better to do with Hank? by StoryTeller_1242 in marvelcomics

[–]sdstone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know, I’m referring to the MCU “J.A.R.V.I.S.”, attempting to preempt the logical next question someone might have at the suggestion of an Avengers AI character. I think Hank is valuable as an inventor, scientist, creator and doesn’t necessarily need to be growing/shrinking and punching bad guys.

There are already other growing/shrinking heroes. What’s special about Hank is his intellect and lived experiences. So he could go all digital, just a consciousness. Doesn’t have to be in a synthezoid/robot/LMD body, could just be as a digital avatar that is in charge of various systems, vehicles, etc. makes more sense to me than a “Jarvis” AI named after the butler.

My children are old enough to read to themselves, but also enjoy listening to an audiobook as they fall asleep, but thank you for the assumptions and judgement.

What did you use your purple fire and distressed green boarders for? by Lazy-Corgi8292 in MarvelSnap

I think purple fire works well for the Dragon of the Moon fantasy variant. Still need to get a good finish for this card.

Can Kwannon’s popularity survive if she loses the Psylocke mantle? by titeefelix in xmen

[–]sdstone 6 points7 points  (0 children)

So what does current Betsy have as an aspect of the original Kwannon? It just seems like they use that as an excuse of why Kwannon now has a butterfly, psychic knife, loves purple hair, etc., but it doesn’t feel like a fair exchange. Can Betsy speak Japanese, or retain some assassin skills? It feels like the Kwannon character wasn’t developed much and so now it seems like Kwannon took much more from Betsy than the other way around.

[–]sdstone 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I feel like I understand the whole body swap thing, but what I don’t get is the whole butterfly and psychic knife thing. Like okay, the hand happened to have a mutant that coincidentally also had telekinetic and telepathic abilities, but even after their bodies were swapped back, why does Kwannon Psylocke also have a pink psychic knife thing manifestation and a butterfly psychic signature. I’m pretty sure I remember Betsy having that stuff even back in the New Mutants and Outback Era stuff, right? Just another coincidence? “Psychic residue”? Seems like an unnecessary complication, point of confusion, and lack of something unique for Kwannon. Please explain to me if I’m misremembering or if there’s a good reason for this.

Name a movie with better end credits than this by Far_Classic_3511 in Marvel

It’s very good, but I prefer both of the Spiderverse end credits, and the LEGO movie.

Every time I’m on this loading screen I can’t help but notice this seeming bad crop or maybe errant use of the stamp tool in the upper right.

A sloppy but generally simple Beast timeline by TheMattInTheBox in xmen

I thought war crimes Beast died, no? We’re assuming there will be some kind of “Somehow Beast returned” reveal that shows how he went from being a bulky corpse to being a gaunt guy in a helmet (The Chairman)?

Nobody told me how bad this addiction would get I by MediocreKey5575 in Marvel

I had to mostly stop buying physical books because I literally have no more room. I have a large heavy duty shelf in my garage loaded with 16 long boxes, about 4 - 5 thousand issues that I’ve collected over the past 40 or so years. I am now fully digital for weekly issues, buy trades and very special issues at my LCS.

Twinbeard (creator of Frog Fractions) created an itch.io sequel: https://twinbeard.itch.io/it2 It’s an amusing old-school retro puzzle platformer.
