She did. And if you read between the lines... 1990s : Captain Marvel - The Kree Empire is directed by the Supreme Intelligence and making war left and right and hunting the last of the Skrull empire 2010s : Guardian of the Galaxy - The Kree Empire is directed by some kind of Supreme Council, a...

Unless I misremember, Transmutation Master was introduced in BC.

No one knows. And that seems to be their objective: you'll go into the movie knowing absolutely nothing except which heroes it begins with, and whose hide they want (Thanos).

The thing is, we all agree there should be content that is doable and rewarding for casuals, serious gamers, and hardcores. The difference is that you can do that by either making the same content for all, and changing difficulties, or making different content. Making different content is...

As if Congress would allow them to cancel the SLS.

No idea, but around here, the Friday 16:00 showing was half full, but the 19:00 was packed (385 seats). Movie did 1.2 millions on the first week in France. For a comparison on first weeks of Marvel last year: - Infinity Wars: 2.5 millions - Black Panther: 1.0 millions

The problem with her is that you've established her as way too overpowered to be easily inserted in existing continuity. She can be used in Endgame, because Thanos, but drop her anytime you have GotG operating "normally" and you get a massive deus ex machina. I mean, she'd solo Ronan's fleet...

Ok, so they are going to get the progression closer to old school: Staggered Classic Content Update: Six Phases, Up from Four, to Address Itemization and Power Gains

They completely ignore Agents of Shield. It was already complicated to figure out how Coulson wouldn't know about the Kree, despite Shield having been clearly involved in all those Kree-Skrull shenanigans, so they simply decided to ignore all of it. Even if Fury didn't tell everyone about the...

The official trailer came out just a month after Ragnarok, so you can see clearly his eye patch.

Nope.

Eu-side, that's often the case where you end up seeing only cyrillic around you because it left you in the russian zones. I didn't see it too much, but my guildmates would frequently complain in guildchat being stuck in the SU :)

She does the job is the right way to say it. She frowns (mostly), she smiles when asked to, but there's about not much spontaneity or personality injected in the job. And of course it does not help she spends quite a lot of screen time opposite Jackson who does Jackson things.

This is probably the best time to have a Kree fighter crash on earth, and be moved to the Tahiti Project for investigation. Which might be one of the post-credit scenes? It would fit. Current speculation is that it's a side effect of the Un-Snap.

For some reason, I thought someone was adapting Vinge's A Fire Upon the Deep since that's the only place I can remember the name Aniara being used.

It's probably going to be exactly as hard as the original - after all, they're using the original data and scripts. You just know the strats already before entering the zone. The big difference is that everything is going to be available day 1. You're straight into 1.12. If you rush faction...

500M$ seems a bit high, but since it's already at 350M$, why not.

This requires a massive retconning of Magneto's origins (which might be required, since he's starting to get pretty old now).

Real actors love playing the right bad guy (or girl). Wannabes don't want to sully their "image".

I love this ISS. "This time, we do everything in full control. But when it's the soyouz docking, we have to pretty much stop everything on the station and let stuff happen" (hopefully for best remained unsaid) Also the fumbling with the seat footrest. I could very much imagine the guy "ok, how...

That steam has been the final straw that switched me to Chrome. Because it kept dropping every 30s on Firefox, but it has been stable & HD (720p, bleh) for over an hour with Googlebrowser. Fuck you google.

It won't. Do you really think Marvel would let political bullshit interfere with their money machine? The feminists bits in the movie will be: 1) It has an overpowered female main character and she solves everything on her own 2) The main character has always struggled against whatever, and...

Apparently: 1) The original client does not work... well on a modern PC. 2) Their server architecture is completely different now, and they would have to redo everything anyway because the original HP Blade design costs a lot (vs on-demand virtual servers today) So most of their work is spent...

They tried to remove flight already once. It didn't go well.

Saturn's Children. The only Stross I've never read was Rule 34. The style of the series turned me slightly off, so I skipped on book 2. Since apparently, there was never a book 3, I think I may not have been the only one.

The only bad parts about the stream was that the quality was capped at 720p instead of the usual 1080. Was that because they were doing a simulcast with NASA?

Everything by Stross is an automatic pre-order purchase. It's the only author that can make a very serious space opera narrated by a loli sexbot.

Yea, they know the MCU crew (good jab at it, since that's the shoulder patch of the soldiers escorting the XMen to whatever facility) will kill the current version of the franchise, and insert their own. Expect Marvel announcement in 2-3 years.

Will be watching this tomorrow morning (EU time, yay!).

Bleh. I was thinking of restarting it after stopping WoW.

From what I heard at the time, the whole post-credit about the "original GotG" - that's what sly and the rest are, in fact: the first issue of GotG crew - is simply a throw-away scene for the fun of it. Unlike the Warlock Egg, which is supposed to be used for later plot. Alas. I mean, if you...

No date yet, I just saw an article saying that Netflix had just snagged the streaming distribution rights worldwide. We were talking about this (with a friend) during Alita, because it had overperformed that movie internationally... despite being distributed only in like 3 countries.

CGI is all about talented animators/artists, which Asia is full of (see all the asian RPG eye candy) and computer farms for the final renders. Cixin is the numero uno of chinese SF. Which is why we're discovering him today. Alas, it's not going to be distributed in theaters here, so Netflix it...

So she can devote all her energies into the scammy new age store she's built up (jade eggs for energy and vagina steam baths, yay).

If they got the entire movie (given the amount and breadth of the pictures), it's almost certain they have the plot. My guess is that the Chinese translation company leaked.

And the bathtub. It's the only way to be sure.

As I was pointing out a few weeks ago, there's more than 15 bars/currencies to fill/collect. Right now. Almost all of them time gated. That, alone, tells you where their inspiration comes from.

It's the starting point of Gravity.

That's debatable. Being behind dailies, I mean.
