    Invincible

    Ok, so again, we are only talking about the chance that Mark helped his father subjugate earth because that is what started this whole conversation. All the other different arrangement of atoms that make up totally unconnected universe, where Mark did not have to make that choice, do not mater...

    No, by you asking that question, it is clear that we are talking about two different things, but I don't know how to explain it any other way.

    Invincible

    We are not talking about all verses in the multiverse, only a subsection of them. In this subsection there is a binary choice. Either Mark sides with his father and subjugates the earth, or he doesn't. Both occur the same amount of times, which is an infinite amount of times. If you wanted to...

    Invincible

    Sure, I can see if you have more options of outcome it would change the ratio, but that's a 1 out of 10 choice, this is a 1 out of 2 choice (he helps his dad subjugate earth or he doesn't). You can't just add additional outcomes to a binary choice, just because. Even if Galactus teleports Mark...

    If there is some kind of limit on the amount of infinite multiverses, it would no longer be infinite?

    Invincible

    That's basically saying the same thing, I guess. As I understand it, there can't be a majority of any event in an infinity of multiverses because there would be no way to measure it. If an event can either result in outcome 1 or outcome 2 (Mark sides with his father, or he doesn't), there should...

    He said there can be a majority in infinity, I asked for clarification because I don't understand how there can be.

    So what does the majority of a binary outcome, when both have an infinite number of instances, look like? Edit: As it relates to infinite multiverses.

    To make believable characters, the writers should be able to write them having bad/wrong opinions. The best I can distil it down to is: he is wrong and therefor your statement based on his wrong opinion doesn't add anything to your argument. As for the real life stuff I'm not sure wtf you even...

    Invincible

    A finite multiverse would be even dumber than an infinite one, because then they would really need to try to make up some reason why it would be finite. I would wager that's a reason Marvel writers keep switching back and forth, because both are dumb, but trying to make it finite is harder to...

    Invincible

    I agree that the human brain has a very difficult time understanding probability and statistics (mine included). There are an infinity of dimensions where Mark sided with his father, and there are an infinity of dimensions where he didn't, therefor there can be no majority. What someone...

    Invincible

    There is no majority in something that is infinite, which is another reason why multiverse shit is shit. On your other points, I somewhat agree, but I think they tried to keep Nolan more like a sleeper plant from a spy show. Where he can't risk a child letting something slip, and possibly tip...

    One Piece just showed how you can properly do fantasy and outlandish anime stuff in live action. Riot showed how successful a show based on a game can be if you keep total control over it (One Piece creator also had veto power). I would assume Nintendo is going to follow their lead, where they...

    Did you mean to timestamp that? The whole thing is fairly interesting; from what I remember he is calling for reevaluating how physics is looked at, since a unified theory seems to be as out of reach today as it was 30 years ago. I don't know enough about it to judge how far out there he is though.

    Most of that is just your feels and none of it matters to what lives on in the collective memory. Blade Runner 2049 is sitting at 8.0 on IMDB with 600K+ votes and Blade Runner (1982) is at a whole 8.1 with 800k+ votes. In contrast the Six Million Dollar Man has a rating of 7.1 with 12k+ votes...

    You will be dead long before reruns of the Barbie movie stop being shown to the next generation of brave independent women.

    Funny, I thought it was going to be some obscure reference that didn't show him or refer to him by name, but nope, actual screen time. I guess so much shit going on in the episode I didn't even notice it was him... and I even watched the episode a second time, yesterday.

    Vampire the Masquerade - Bloodlines sequel? Remake?

    In the short blip of that promo that I watched, they were referring to the voice in your head (from the thin blood) as a male ("he" this and "he" that) with a normal sounding name. I'm a bit doubtful that they are going to pay for 2 different voice actors to read all those lines in order to...

    Vampire the Masquerade - Bloodlines sequel? Remake?

    It sounds more like a CP2077 rip, in that the Elder Vampire, with a dumb fucking name, had a "spell" carved into them using the blood of a thin blood modern day vampire, while they were hibernating (torpor). This causes PHYRE to wake up and have the voice/soul of the thin blood talking to them...

    Did it say how old that build actually was? I wonder if they just stopped pushing in house builds to the beta, at any point, or if all the NYI stuff was just fairly easy/quick development time requirements.
