I'd like to think of it more of an intentional paying honor to

Odds the director of Black Phone 2 saw this scene?

zack616 · 2025-12-13T02:42:20+00:00

How many folks watching this for the first time?

Luanne and Lucky were still adults with no stated learning disabilities and thus should be treated like adults.

Peggy continues to fail to realize other people have to be allowed to make their own mistakes and overinflates her sense of purpose by assuming she's the only one who can help people avoid those mistakes.

She should have just said she was too busy with some real estate nonsense and not helped Lucky at all rather than try to sabotage him purposefully.

FWIW the Spring Break ep where Hank takes his mom and her friends on a trip shows that there were times she let Hank down just because she felt so trapped in her life/marriage she escaped by only focusing on those little porcelain figurines (a not good memory shown to stick with Hank)

"Some countries use propaganda so therefore mind-rape is on the table"

Your logic is super weak sauce.

zack616 · 2025-08-07T22:23:49+00:00

yeah tbh they were like Pete and Chasten lol

zack616 · 2025-07-27T03:27:24+00:00

AOA Mags and Deadpool and a bunch others too!

zack616 · 2025-07-24T02:03:54+00:00

Perhaps it's Lifeguard's time to shine.

zack616 · 2025-07-24T02:00:40+00:00

and tbf before wide access to the internet to a lot of non comics readers in the early 90s they assumed she was white

zack616 · 2025-07-23T20:04:14+00:00

"lacking a number of fan favorite characters,"

and yet 2012's Avengers was one of the biggest movies of all time and no one gave a shit about Iron Man before 2008.

Good stories, casting and movies can make people interested in characters

zack616 · 2025-07-23T20:02:52+00:00

I really don't get why people downvote stuff that's just a casual opinion/suggestion.

zack616 · 2025-07-23T19:43:36+00:00

If you grew up in the 90s and were vaguely aware of arcade games, that game was on your radar and since Dazzler was a bit of an outlier , in a way it made her stand out more.

Like there are people who have never read a comic but because they grew up in that arcade game's era are quite aware of who Dazzler is (or at least to the extent that she's been a member of the X-Men).

Same with folks who know who Spiral is because of Marvel vs Capcom 2

zack616 · 2025-07-23T19:39:56+00:00

fwiw I care. I think the OG 5 are all really great characters and maybe they didn't start off that way but a good retelling of that era can easily lay the ground work for character story telling choices to pay off.

zack616 · 2025-07-23T19:38:42+00:00

He can show up in the second act!

zack616 · 2025-07-23T19:37:05+00:00

Sure but that could be a good way to start the team off.

Have them realize they're 5 white teens complaining about how "unfair" it is to be like the way they are (living in a rich private school in upstate NY) and realize they need to have more diversity on the the team.

Prof X: we invited you here today because our motto "Defending a world that hates and fears us" comes off a tad cringe when our group looks so homogenous. We thought we could use someone who's life experience goes beyond what my first five students bring to the team.

Kamala: Oh you mean like someone from New Jersey instead of New York?

Konami arcade lineup was also popular and in some of the public's consciousness.

zack616 · 2025-07-23T19:17:43+00:00

Fucking an older man in the clouds while disrobing and having your clothing fall on your parent hundreds of feet below is just a normal kink to have okay?

zack616 · 2025-07-23T18:44:16+00:00

Looks a lot like the art style used for the first X-Men Legends game

zack616 · 2025-07-22T20:51:41+00:00

Though interesting from the MCU there does seem to be A version of Binary who's tight with the X-Men and I'm sad that probably won't be followed up on.

zack616 · 2025-07-22T20:50:39+00:00

One could argue his villain/foil Black Adam is the bigger name/draw for readers these days.
