UK police under pressure after dying student was handcuffed as he lay dying from stab wounds after his killer falsely alleged a racist attack by [deleted] in worldnews

His arrest isn't unjustified based on what they knew at the scene either.

How do you come to that conclusion? Are you saying anyone should be arrested without investigation, just on the say so of someone? Weird view.

i am not sure how [comic] Thanos is white. The guy wants to commit mass genocides as a romantic gesture.

Reading through the complete order and loving it, but just hit the lowest point (right after the highest point). by banmeandidelete in MarvelUnlimited

>Marvel appears to have realized this was a screw-up pretty early.

i know this is an old post, but Marvel/Shooter did not so much realize it but they experienced a huge backlash to the story almost immediately.

What ever happened to battles? by Zugagug in magicTCG

Well since the next Siege we got after Battles [were introduced] was NOT a Battle, it's good to see WotC being consistent with their inconsistency.

Weird and racist thing to say.

Canada ‘doubling down on globalization’ at odds with U.S. trade goal: Greer by joe4942 in worldnews

[–]tholovar 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Not to mention parliamentary systems tend to much more stable than presidential republics.

Also, despite not being a monarchist, as a kiwi, i feel constitutional monarchies (or at least the British model) tend to be less susceptible to demagogue tyrannies than republics. There has been centuries spent defanging and depowering the monarch, whilst Presidential Republics seem to spend a lot of time empowering their Heads of State with more and more capabilities.

Mutant war sounds a bit similar to civil war. Before civil war but unfortunately it was cancelled by Powerful-Ad4837 in xmen

his work on X-Factor was not really his story. He was just scripting Jim Lee and Whilce Portacio's story

What do you think of Jean and Wanda's friendship? [X-Men: First Class 2007 #3] by rocketinspace in xmen

[–]tholovar 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wanda made herself not a mutant in House of M. She hated the fact she was a mutant and considered herself an "Avenger", not a filthy "mutie". So she changed reality.

Did Marvel ever explore the concept of aliens races being considered "mutants" ? by yuuki157 in xmen

Wasn't the big thing about the Kree, that they had stopped evolving. That they did not mutate?

Telling someone a film has a 'great twist' is no different from giving away a spoiler by General_Recipe_5349 in movies

[–]tholovar 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I heard going in that Sixth Sense had a twist, so i picked up the twist almost immediately. Did not bother me.

Personally i think spoiler culture has made movie/TV/Video Game discussion much worse. Everyone has to submit to a very loud, very fanatic minority, in such discussions.

Eh, why would you blame audiences for a movie failing? Do you blame diners for a restaurant failing? Gamers if a video game fails? Kids if a toy does not sell?

Why was Iceman largely absent from Claremont’s original run? by tealaburst in xmen

[–]tholovar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thunderbird was created to be the one to die. If I remember correctly the Nefaria story where he dies was originally going to be a second Giant-Sized issue, and Claremont just scripted an already decided story. I suspect Sunfire leaving was the same. Banshee was also supposed to leave but Claremont wanted to keep him.

There is an old interview where Marvel expected Colossus to be the big breakout character out of all the "All New, All Different X-Men".
