Meanwhile, Robo lays out an actual tape measure before giving numbers that don't match what I'm seeing right in front of my eyes. What even are "inches" any more?

I honestly don't remember when I read any X-Men in real time. I think I felt they were too inaccessible to someone just starting out. I was with New Mutants from day 1, and remember being really excited when Spider-Man kicked all their asses in Secret Wars. Most of my X-Men knowledge really is...

I'll PM you both just to help me keep track. Thanks.

@AceofKnaves, I hadn't intended it to be a negative, just trying to point out that it's superficial. Early days Superman was dealing with actual recognizable slumlords, X-Men are dealing with a metaphor for racism that mostly only exists in their comics. For this discussion, I'm taking up a...

Yes, and then a *thing* happened to them to trigger it. I find that more satisfying. I don't know what else to say about it. In Stan's own words, 'born that way' was his shortcut to not having to think about an origin. They'd eventually grow into a metaphor for minorities (minorities that...

I wasn't reading comics at the time, so no comment on the execution, but I did hear about the move to sideline mutants and promote Inhumans, and I actually liked the idea. I've never been much of an X-Men fan. I initially found the origin of "they were just born that way" to be lazy, and...

I wasn't going to really shit on a channel I've never watched, but starting with "yo, it's your boy" is why I turned the sound off.

By coincidence, I'm looking for a Mace. You might see where I'm going with this.

I didn't have the sound on, were those really supposed to be height comparisons? Photographed at a slight downward angle with the other figures standing behind him?

Focus groups have become so much easier since they started making them out of multiple AI agents talking to each other.

Clipped a small part from a long past that I fully agree with. I'm repeatedly on record for how I think they should've carried on, but here I'll just say "what Damien said." I haven't ruled out that Doomsday will be good. McFeely and the Russos have made some of my favorite MCU movies. But my...

Do we really not have a thread for Ramen? I know they've come up, but Search says it's always been in other threads. Anyways, Ace had a live stream earlier and made a couple announcements that caught my eye. A) I never watched Bravestarr, so have only been half paying attention to their...

Pfft. I can not always get things right with out AI.

I don't think it'd be so obnoxious if they didn't keep coming up with new lines. Like, I'm anxious to get O:MF Wave 3, but is that being postponed because they're doing adventurers now and NPCs? Years back they teased some ideas for a space adventure line that looked really cool, but I'm not...

The face sculpt is a little rough, but I like everything else about the figure. Shame he couldn't seal the deal with Danielle Kelley. I thought that'd be fun in the same way Sgt. Slaughter was back in the 80s. I think there's an alternate head intended for the gymnasium set he floated a while...

I'm only interested in Avatar movies for the technical advancements, but I'm REALLY into the technical advancements. Still, I couldn't make it all the way through the water one. I'll just wait for some online VFX breakdowns or something.

Call me when we get the Bob McLeod version. And when they're not 30" tall.

Wait, "Rock Me Amadeus" was written by a Luck Dragon?

That realization put full breaks on my interest. On the one hand, there are so many characters that I would want, that the space taken up by a 7" figure vs. a 6" really adds up. But on the same hand, I like my figures to be able to stand together. Not all 1/12 is the same, but I can at least...

I often wonder if No Way Home isn't supposed to take place before Hawkeye. But then I remember the destruction of the Statue of Liberty and realize it's easier to fix the tree. Fun fact: NWH is not in Disney+. I'll be providing a link for my GoFundMe when it's set up so I can rent it.

Yeah, Kazi was great, but the Tracksuits were *too* fun for me. Just made for some really lopsided fights. I took it that Kingpin set up Echo's dad and tipped off the Ronin, not that Kingpin hired him directly. Hah! That would've been great. This really was my favorite version of her.

I see. I'm familiar with his story, I just never took it as struggling between violence and kindness. But I get where you're coming from.

After all is said and done, I'm still willing to but cool figures, so I checked out Bobby's video introducing his new faction, The Black. The idea was to make modern day pirates, but I was a little underwhelmed by the advanced peeks he gave at whatever con they were announced at. Nothing's...

Is that a common interpretation? Can you talk me through that a bit? I see them both as men of war, just with different ways of making peace with that.

Yeah, that's the one. All previous statements about the sins of AI in mind, I don't see harm in an armchair "this is fun" use of stuff like that. Unless your complaint is that it was the toy company that shared it. I can see that. But I don't even think I'd call foul if some amateur posted...
