ME3 community's awful. They're the most kick-prone people I've ever encountered.

I don't think the community is that bad, but yeah, they are pretty kick-prone.

N7 level too low? Kick
Playing a class the other players perceive as a bad class? Kick
Using weapons the other players don't like? Kick

The worst thing is I've seen all of those happen on Bronze. Bronze! Bronze is so easy that none of that matters at all.

My rep's at 75% preferred, 25% avoided. Apparently at some point years ago someone avoided me for quitting early.

It's a pointless rating system, though. People will avoid you for the stupidest stuff.

Thor is my second favorite movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

I liked Avengers a bit more but Thor was just awesome. Tom Hiddleston is amazing as Loki.

I'm admittedly biased as Thor and Loki are my favorite comic book characters.

Although there was one bit where someone definitely walked past a window then disappeared, which happens to match up to my strangest real-life phobia (I hate looking out, or even being near, a ground-floor window at night, because I always feel like someone might walk up to it at any moment). That was unpleasant.


I remember when this happened to me. Freaked me the hell out. Great game, the Taken can be disturbingly amusing at times.

It was a joke. Like how so many comics still joke about it today.

Only Pym stories I've read are all the Initiative books and Avengers Academy, and he was pretty middling throughout it all.

As far as Reed Richards, my exposure to him is entirely from Hickman's run, where he's awesome.

I ignore everything from Civil War because it was terrible and Mark Millar is the biggest hack in comics.


Ah. I do love that bit with Pym and Osborn. Shows that Pym's pretty much come to terms with what he did. Pym was awesome in Avengers Academy, though. He plays the mentor role really well.

Reed can be awesome at times, but he really needs some kind of consequences for his actions.

Didn't it kill Goliath?

And that's exactly what I mean. Tony helped with that, and Thor beat the crap out of him when he came back a few years ago. Reed started to apologize to Donald Blake about it, Blake said to take it up with Thor, and then nothing ever happened to my knowledge.

Meanwhile people still hate Tony for Civil War.

The worst part about Mr. Fantastic is that he gets away with everything.

Was right there at the forefront of the pro registration side with Tony? Never gets any real backlash from it, leaving Tony to handle it all.

You don't know much about Pym, do you?

He hit Jan once during a nervous breakdown and somehow it's all people know about his character. Reed hits Sue multiple times and no one cares.

Marvel wouldn't put that into the movie anyway.

Pym's moved far beyond the whole "hit his wife once" thing. The dude is awesome and way better than any of the other Ant-Men.

I think JGL might be Dick, actually. All we know is that is character is a cop named John Blake. Dick was a cop for a while, and John Blake just screams alias to me. So maybe they'll kill Bruce and have him take over, skipping Robin/Nightwing entirely.

Of course he could be someone entirely new and I could be completely wrong. It's fun to theorize, though.

A movie can be a sequel AND good. There's no law that says otherwise.

It can be, but if you're making a sequel just to make a cash-in, quality is not going to be a particularly high concern.


True, but where did you get the idea that The Avengers is just a cash-in? Marvel's been dedicated to the idea of a united cinematic universe leading up to the Avengers since the first Iron Man. Yeah, they want to make money off of it, so what? They're also doing it for the fans.
