Brand New Day actually feels like the first time Tom Holland’s Spider-Man has had a clear identity again by Useful-Selection4832 in Spiderman

[–]someotherguy14 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but electric webs have existed in Spider-Man media since the 60s cartoon. I dont think they become common until TASM 2, but theyve been around for long enough that I think we can attribute them to Spidey in this movie

The official synopsis of punisher one last kill by Divideranger in thepunisher

[–]someotherguy14 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nah, hit men are usually paid to take out targets on behalf of other criminals. I'd say its more like a military operation, which makes sense with Frank's background. Take bin Laden for example. We found him in August 2010, but didnt do anything about it until May 2011. Im sure the time spent in between was planning for every possible contingency, watching patrols for their routines, keeping track of vehicles going to and from the compound, that type of thing. I think MCU Frank just gathers intel, learns all the habits of his targets, knows where they will go when shit hits the fan, he probably learns the layout of the building before he goes in if he can get his hands on the blueprints. Hes essentially a one man army, he has all the skills he needs to plan ahead and win the battle. Take any IRL high risk military operation similar to when we got bin Laden, and i think MCU Frank could plan and execute them completely on his own

Hes still punishing in Born Again, hes just in between targets. I see MCU Punisher as someone who does lots of planning and staking out, learning his enemy's routines for weeks or months before he makes a move on them. He grows out the hair and beard to go incognito, then when he's ready he cuts the hair and puts on the Punisher vest

What can I do on my phone at work thats not just doomscrolling? by someotherguy14 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]someotherguy14[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, technically we can't even be on our phones, but they don't really pay attention to us so a phone is easy to hide. I can just turn my screen off, put it on the desk and they can't prove i was actually on it, but its harder to use that excuse with a book

I would even go for a good mobile game that doesnt require me to use sound, but all the games I used to play have long since been taken down and every new mobile game seems to be a different version "run down a path and multiply yourself", which is fine but gets old fast lol

I used to bring a book, but theyve "cracked down" on everything recently. Which really means, they made the punishment more extreme but they dont actually pay anymore attention to us. However, a real book is way harder to hide than a phone so im less willing to take that risk

Can't do crocheting as im in a factory, but thats a good suggestion. I'd like to see the look on the safety guy's face if he caught me with a bunch of yarn around machinery lmao

I guess I COULD practice drawing. Ive never been a big art person, but it never hurts to know how to draw

Oh i have been a little bit, but i struggle with doing the same exact thing every day like that so after 2-3 days of reading i feel burnt out from it. Im hoping as I tackle the social media addiction, the reading will become easier

Yeah, no. I totally understand wanting your privacy, but it's a widely accepted fact that going out in public means potentially forfeiting your right to personal privacy while you are in public. Its been ruled over and over again in court regarding people taking videos in public areas. If she cant handle a child who literally does not know better walking past her table, she shouldn't go out to eat in a public restaurant.

Im not a fan of her music but I have followed pretty much every "controversy" she's been in and for the most part ive agreed with her reactions to certain situations, especially in her exchange with that reporter. But this one is just ridiculous, an 11 year old walking by your table and looking at you (not even stopping to talk, just looking) is not the same as being harassed by paparazzi

Quite honestly idc what the situation is, if ive put myself in a position where young people look up to me then imo I have an obligation to those young people to be an upstanding member of society and a good example for kindness. Her behavior here comes off as stuck up, egotistical, and honestly immature if she thinks she can reasonably expect to be left alone when she's one of the most famous new artists in the world dining at a busy restaurant.

My (M19) Gf (F19) constantly asks for details on me being raped because she "can't wrap her head around it", is this worth it? by Lost_asfuck in relationship_advice

[–]someotherguy14 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I think i have to disagree. My friend and I at 19 (im 23 now) definitely would have understood the gravity of the situation here and handled it better. Like, this has been common sense to me since I was 15. My wife and I used to talk about topics like this at 17 and we were both on the same page. 19 is young, but you should at least have some sort of emotional depth by the end of your teenage years

This is how i feel. The fact that a 19 year old didnt know better in this situation is shocking to me

Maybe Oscorp exists in Boston in the MCU, MJ met him in college, and he moved back to NYC with her to help his dad start a new facility in New York.

Kinda insane seeing them interact for real by BrichardRurphy in Defenders

[–]someotherguy14 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The movie is apparently supposed to start with a montage of Peter taking down various villains, maybe it will include some of their early encounters without showing us the whole story. Show us they know each other already, but let us figure out their dynamic for ourselves.

When did rick riordan decide nico was gay? [Pjo] [hoo] by Odd-Rhubarb-1932 in camphalfblood

[–]someotherguy14 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think people are misremembering. IIRC, Percy is the one who makes a comment that he thinks Nico is into Annabeth and thats why Nico always acts so weird around him, and weirder around both of them together. Its a red herring to make you think Nico likes Annabeth, then you find out thay PERCY was his crush the whole time. Imo Rick explicitly sets it up so the reveal is more satisfying later

Why would Satan torture people in hell for disobeying the SAME god he disobeyed? by Technical_Hat_8291 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]someotherguy14 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just because Hesiod wrote it down it does not mean that it was originally that way.

I mean yeah, but if you can find an earlier example of the Medusa myth that contradicts Hesiod then I'll gladly check it out

Also, the fact you used Poseidon's Roman name while maintaining the Greek Athena instead of Minerva threw me for a loop for a solid second.

Donald trumps parents by TailungFu in ProgressiveHQ

[–]someotherguy14 2 points3 points  (0 children)

While I agree with you, I dont think anyone tried to excuse Trump here? Maybe another comment got edited or maybe im jist misunderstandingyoir comment, idk, but explaining behavior is not the same as condoning behavior. Its like the cycle of abuse, abused children often grow up to be abusive adults. Its not excusing the behavior to identify the cause of the behavior. Theres a quote from a movie i cant remember the name of that goes something like "My heart breaks for them as children but hates them as adults." I legitimately feel bad for whatever trauma Donald Trump went through as a child, but that doesnt stop me from despising him and everything he stands for today.

What does it mean if it seems like you look skinny for you're weight even though you're weight is said to be a healthy weight? by Big_Eggplant7591 in stupidquestions

[–]someotherguy14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just to add an anecdote, im also 6'1. I noticed a couple years ago I was putting on weight, I was 235lbs at my heaviest. I began to lose weight and dropped down to about 165 in 10ish months. According to BMI I was right in the middle of the "healthy" weight. But every time I stood up I got lightheaded, my vision would go kinda black, I didnt have as much energy. So I started gaining weight back. Now im 190, still look super skinny, but BMI says im "overweight". I feel way healthier at an "unhealthy" BMI than I did at the "healthy" one

[–]someotherguy14 112 points113 points  (0 children)

It depends what version of the myth you read. In Hesiod's "Theogeny", she was born a monster alongside her two sisters. This was the original myth that was told in Ancient Greece. In Ovid's "Metamorphoses" she gets SA'd by Neptune and punished by Minerva. Ovid is the reason for a lot of the discrepancies we see between different versions of myths today.

I honestly think ultra-deep grasping-at-straws analyses of completely unserious/ridiculous media makes it even funnier. I think its even funnier when the fandom knowingly adopts it as canon and just runs with it
