And Neil Gaiman and Terry Pritchett released Good Omens in 1990!

And T2 was being filmed in 1990. It all makes sense, now!

Gaiman was once asked about and he kind of shrugged and said if you go into a mall in London on a Saturday you'll see about a dozen boys that look exactly like Tim/Harry.

It means that enlightenment can be instantly realized by anyone because everyone is a Buddha and veneration of the historical Buddha himself or any other idol or text only impedes enlightenment, this is Zen Fundamentals people.

You know another part of Zen fundamentalism? There is no single right answer that applies to everyone.

There you go, 12 year old me was a forward thinking fucker.

I remember being confused why Zoom 2 could run around the world nonstop if his only power was time manipulation, though.

There was also, more recently, the one speedster mutant that manifested during no more mutants. Time was relative for him so if he ran 200 miles it would only take a few seconds for the rest of the world but but his body would age the length of time it would take s normal human to run that distance. Repede maybe? His name was Spanish for speed.

There's a poem in Edda called Þrymskviða that's about Thor. The opening line is:
Vreiðr var þá Vingþórr
er hann vaknaði

This literally translates into:
Pissed was Thor when he awoke.

His outer shell is invulnerable but his innards aren't quite as durable, so Wasp goes inside and starts yanking out the wiring or something.

In the Busiek/Perez arc, Hank gets a couple of loads of "Antarctic Vibranium," which liquifies nearby metal, and uses them like knuckle-dusters until Ultron stops moving.

Doesn't a tiny Ares fly a tiny bomb down his throat during Bendis' Avengers?

I haven't read that series, and I'm not familiar with that character, so maybe somebody can explain to me why all those men thought it was a good idea to attack Magneto with guns and knives and other metallic weaponry?

The run was about chasing down some of Legion's personalities that were able to gain their own physical form. This one was a sound based mimetic virus, hearing him speak would turn you into a clone of him. He didn't quite fully grasp Magneto's powers because he was just a fragment of David's psyche.

fermentation happens naturally a lot

Hell, one of the old legends has it that Drunken Monkey Boxing was invented when a master was meditating and watched monkeys stumble about after eating naturally fermented fruit that has fallen from a tree.



Plus, the Hyborean Age has been an actual part of Marvel History since at least the 80s so there's plenty of advanced Stone Age era civilizations running around.

Doctor Strange somehow became the leader of the Black Priests at one point, their power being the words of power. Not sure how that concluded though.

I wish that comics would hire people who actually spoke non-English languages...

For one, in panel 3, Batroc calls the dude my little cauliflower (never mind that he uses "ma" instead of "mon"). "Mon petit choux" would be a better insult and fit better for a guy supposedly from Marseille, France.

And I get that "Mon Capitan" is basically what people think it should sound like but it's "Mon Capitaine"

Proper use of non-English languages is badass :colbert:

You're right about the gender but 'my little cabbage flower' is an actual French term of endearment.

The first season worked at a good clip for the first 2/3rds too, it was a mustery box show that didnt let the smaller mysteries linger, they didnt worry about leaving story hooks for next season. It stuttered then they were asked to change their format and not finish the stories that season.

It's also the show that made Marvel decision makers believe Jeph Loeb was capable of running the MCU's tv wing.
