    Avengers: Infinity War (2018)

    My guess would be that half of the hints we get in the movie won't pan out. Because it is entertaining (for the Russo) to see how much fans can elaborately construct theories about what's coming from the hints placed. I mean, I could be wrong about the gauntlet mold on Nidavellir. It could be a...

    Avengers: Infinity War (2018)

    This is Avengers 3. And then Avengers 4. If you noticed, every thread and every major action involves one or more of the original Avengers. The only exception is the small part where the GotG lose Gamora. So, since this is Avengers 4 and not Dr. Strange 2, all the theories by which Strange saves...

    Even with Luclin. Back when we were heading into the SSRA mines, we (Tide @ Tunare) were acting on a bunch of possible hints about Emperor Bane weapons. Nobody knew about them (or at least nobody was talking, and we were moderately confident we might be the first guild on Tunare to figure it...

    Vision is going to be rebooted by Shuri. However, he's turned into Monochrome Vision, which is an entirely different person in the comics. To the dismay of Scarlet Witch who will lose her Wanda Lovetoy™.

    Dinklage's "don't care a shit" brow fits Tyrion, so he nails the role. The problem is that he can't do anything else, so he's been meh in pretty much every movie ever.

    Avengers: Infinity War (2018)

    A few people have said that the gauntlet appears to have burned itself out. So he has the stones, but he hasn't got a full-on power gauntlet. Not anymore. The only one who has a gauntlet (without stones) is Eitri. (so yes, more Dinklage in Avengers 4). Wild speculation: we don't have Star Lord...

    An extremely good video about rocket exhaust. "Once you've seen it, you can't unsee it" (and he's right; mach rings ftw) Beware: french accent.

    Venom (2018)

    If it's the "standard" deal, then any character that first appeared in a stand-alone Spiderman story is out, unless the lawyers agree. Anyone that appeared in another comic, even if he/she/it is almost always involved with Peter is ok.

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    FTFY. The two reasons you don't remember your WoW gear are that you got a lot of them, but notably that none were so outside of the risk/reward ratio that they'd give you a "whoa" moment. People remember the Mana Stone for the same reason people now remember the Black Lotus for MtG.

    Love the double 4wall breaking with Cable. First with "Thanos... sorry, Cable" (Josh Brolin plays, of course, both), and then "Oooh dark... Are you from the DC?" (Brolin played Jonah Hex from DC... heck, I think he's still playing Hex in this movie...)

    Yea, that was the last of the Falcon 9 Block 4 rockets. There's going to be a few more of the B4 launches, but they'll all be refurbish... sorry, flight proven rockets. Block 5 goes in service on the next launch (May 4th), and that one is supposed to be reusable at least 10 times with fast reuse...

    Just finished The Space Barons, a good summary of the currently unfolding space rivalry between the big 4 billionaires (Bezos, Musk, Branson, Allen) that want to do what NASA isn't going to do: make man a spacefaring species. If you're interested in the topic, you probably know more or less...

    Lumi's Batshit Insane Thread

    That's a common problem in conspiracy theorists. Believing in a conspiracy massively increases the chances you believe in others, because the source belief isn't from the conspiracy, it's from within yourself. Simply put: if you're stupid enough to believe in any conspiracy theory, you're...

    You've almost guessed correctly. The whole synching thing (which occurs TWICE in the book) is something that sounds cool on paper, and absolutely stupid and horrible on screen.
