  1. Not against the idea, but I don't think the lack of power customization is the reason that Peacebringers and Warshades are the least played archetypes. I don't think coloring the powers will move the dial at all in terms of an increase in number of people playing them.
  2. This sounds like trying to stave off any investor panic type statement. Star Wars isn't the powerhouse it used to be. It's not bringing in the money for Disney, and she may not want to retire, but she absolutely can be shown the door. Best thing to ever happen to the Star Wars IP will be the day she leaves.
  3. I'm sure Disney would love for this movie to have only cost $180,000,000 to make. That budget would make it among the cheapest MCU films made. It doesn't add up when it's reported to have gone through at least 3 extensive re-shoots and doesn't include any marketing.
  4. I think it's safe to say they're using the standard "creative accounting" when reporting on numbers for this. Here's an interesting video on the topic of how Hollywood reports if a movie made money or lost money. I could be wrong, but as I understand it Universal still owns the film rights to the Hulk, so Disney/Marvel can't make any solo movies with the Hulk. As far as She-Hulk goes, they'd have to reboot the character first and find a different actress. The D+ show was a complete bomb and the actress hasn't been endearing herself to anyone at Disney or Marvel as of late.
  5. Right so the accepted source used in schools all over the globe that defines the meanings of words isn't correct... but you are, and everyone else is "misinformed". LOL! Do you even know what a dictionary is? Dictionary dic·tion·ar·y /ˈdikSHəˌnerē/ noun noun: dictionary; plural noun: dictionaries a book or electronic resource that lists the words of a language (typically in alphabetical order) and gives their meaning, or gives the equivalent words in a different language, often also providing information about pronunciation, origin, and usage. It seems to me that you could use some back to school time because you appear to be struggling with the concept of words having defined meanings.
  6. You might want to familiarize yourself with the meaning of that word too. That's not Bond.
  7. LOL! What? Allow me to introduce you to something you may not know about. It's called the dictionary and it tells you what words mean. Misogynist /mɪˈsɒdʒɪnɪst/ noun noun: misogynist; plural noun: misogynists a person who dislikes, despises, or is strongly prejudiced against women. "a bachelor and renowned misogynist"
  8. No real surprises here, there's an 82% dropoff from last weekend. https://www.boxofficemojo.com/release/rl2597421825/?ref_=bo_hm_rd Safe to say at this point, this is a flop. Let's hope FF performs better.
  9. No, it has not beaten the opening weekend numbers for Winter Solider. Winter Soldier - $95,023,721 BNW - $87,800,000
  10. Isn't that what the UI scale is for? They could resize the UI to close trays if this happened.
  11. No, it's not doing well. 100 million is about 1/10th of what this movie will need to make just to break even. It's done better than The Marvels (which honestly isn't hard to do), but worse than Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania. Given the very lackluster reviews, we can fully expect the box office numbers for CA: BNW to crater the following weekend. No way this film comes close to breaking even.
  12. Forgot to log into your GM account before posting this. 🤣
  13. I'm curious how they'll handle Sentry/Void. Other than that, I've zero interest in this movie if I'm being honest. These just aren't interesting characters to me.
  14. Review embargo is now lifted for CA: BNW. It's not looking good. https://www.superherohype.com/movies/592870-captain-america-4-rotten-tomatoes-metacritic-scores https://www.superherohype.com/news/592818-captain-america-4-brave-new-world-mixed-reactions-anthony-mackie
  15. Well sure. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Zack Snyder thought Jesse Eisenberg was perfect for Lex Luthor. Some casting director thought Keanu Reeves could effectively pull off a British accent for Dracula. Back in the day, John Wayne was picked to portray Ghengis Khan and Mickey Rooney a Japanese man. The list can go on and on. Were all of these actors not talented? No. They just weren't the right choice for the part and it showed in the final product. Of course I'll give Pedro Pascal the benefit of the doubt. As of this moment, he doesn't fit the part for me and I've yet to see anything to change my mind. Maybe I'll be surprised and I hope I am, but I'll be surprised if I am surprised.
  16. This is A LOT of fun! The Nemesis wedding is a very fun fight. My one and only gripe about this event is the placement of the NPCs in Pocket D. It's next to impossible to access the NPCs and Crystal due to people camping the location. Maybe next year this can be moved out onto the floor someplace where there's more room.
  17. Well, having seen the trailer, I'll say it doesn't look awful. I personally just don't think this is the right cast for this. Pedro Pascal doesn't scream "world's smartest man" to me. Don't get me wrong, he's a great actor and I think he's great in GoT and Mandalorian. I just don't think he's right for Reed Richards. I'm not sold on Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm either. I'll give it the benefit of the doubt though. The Thing looks pretty good, but I didn't think the Chiklis rubber suit looked bad either. I'm more looking forward to seeing this than the other crap Marvel has shoveled out as of late, so that's a plus for me. I really hope they get this right.
  18. This would have been superfluous and taken away from the point of the scene which was Picard helping Data deal with his newfound emotions, which by the way was one of the dumbest things about this movie. The whole Nexus thing was an interesting idea, but didn't work ultimately and turned out to be a very bad idea when you think about it. It doesn't make sense for Picard to say to Kirk "let's go back 30 seconds before Soran launches his super missile so that we have as little time as possible to stop him!". The writers knew this too. If you listen to interviews with Brannon Braga and Ron Moore over the years, they admit as much. I don't think Picard losing his brother and nephew we saw once or maybe twice was a "gut punch". I agree it didn't have any real dramatic impact on the story. I get that this was supposed to set up Picard being tempted to stay in the Nexus, but there were any number of things from his life or regrets that he had which would have worked just as well. Killing off one of the main cast would have been a gut punch, not a one time guest role we saw in one episode. Totally agree. The only redeeming thing about the JJ Abrams films is that he had a great cast to work with. The rest is garbage. The stories stunk. The Kurtzman stuff is just pure sewage.
  19. The OTOY work has been exceptionally good. This is what happens when you have creative people with actual talent and that care about the property.
  20. There are those around here who'd say that's your fault for not wasting your power pool picks and slots on taking Fold Space or Teleport Foe.
  21. As @lemming mentioned there's technical reasons for the storage limits. Bases with high item counts get very laggy, and forget about trying to use the editor to make any changes. The one change I'd love to see with base storage is for a single rack being capable of storing whatever the maximum storage limit is. Make it so we only need 1 rack instead of 18 and limit it that you can only place one in the base. Would solve a lot of space issues I think.
  22. Oh come on. If you would want to waste your time trying to find the optimal position to use the suggested new ability to teleport a target instead of just walking up to it and killing it, more power to you. I can't see all the people advertising speed runs every 3 minutes wanting to wait around for you to fiddle with this on their team.
  23. I can hop on one leg from Dunnet Head to Dover, then paddleboard across the English channel to France and then rollerskate to Paris. Or I could just hop on an airplane and go there. Most people are going to find the most efficient and easy way of doing something, not the hardest and most tedious. That's human nature. Trying to use this as an exploit (which again, it was not suggested for), is way more work than it would be worth.
  24. The intent was evident from the very first post. Nobody was covertly trying to suggest some new free temp power they can use for exploits. They were asking for a way to deal with the adverse effects of poorly designed game mechanics and maps.
