Listen, there were only so many aspects of the character they could bring to screen and it came down to a choice between 5 o'clock shadow or weekly displays of his super-ventriloquism power. I, for one, embrace the shadow. While I'm thinking about it, doesn't Mister Mxyzptlk appear like clockwork after every 90 days? I'm curious to see if that is going to be a problem added to the juggling act.

And if any haven't heard yet, Marvel just greenlighted a "Captain America 4" film. No idea how long a 2 to 3 hour film will take to produce over a 5 1/2 hour miniseries. I guess it would depend on how closely these miniseries match movies in budget for special effects and such.

I didn't remember so you have the edge up on me. LOL. Do you recall which episode it was? I'll go back and look at it.

Thanks for the challenge. I've reviewed:

Another loose end from The Falcon & the Winter Soldier:

Other than a bit of cable management, and finding something to lift the box off the floor (I've had to deal at work with too many computers damaged by unexpected water breaks), this is my desire for a setup. Nice!

My guess: It is hard to get the decorative Roman pieces to feel natural with pieces that feel high tech, and @Steampunkette has managed to make it work. The color scheme is really well chosen, too.

The current "season" of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier was announced in April 2019, the director hired a month later, pre-production until October 2019 when filming commenced. Though broken up by COVID-19 delays, filming took about 8 months, with post-production work continuing during shut-down. The show was to originally premier in August 2020. So with COVID-19 delays, there were 23 months between announcement and release, while they'd anticipated 16-17 months. With questions still lurking regarding COVID-19, I'm guessing they'll work a similar pattern and target 16 months but prepare for 2 years.

Strong potential for a second season. (YAY!): https://comicbook.com/marvel/news/falcon-winter-soldier-season-2-emmy-awards/

Indeed. I take it a step farther for those names/concepts I really, really like. I'll stick a placeholder on every server the name is available upon. That way, should I decide to transfer, it's a lot easier. Note that it amounts to about 5 or 6 names. Not the other 45 or so. I'm not that greedy. Oh, and should you find the name taken, and not want the numerical suffix, this is where the addition of a title comes in handy: Major, General, Dr., Professor, Mr., Ms, Constable, etc.

Ah, so the problem of my thinking is that it would damage multiple targets at extreme levels each, while what it is doing is attacking multiple targets with a single extreme damage value spread over multiple targets?

I've a couple of questions regarding Ion Judgement. I've taken this on several of my Incarnate characters, doing so because the descriptions seemed pretty straight forward. However, the damage results don't "feel" right. I say "feel" because I'm not normally one to drill down into the mathematics. I understand from both the final judgement descriptions that the damage delivered should be extreme. However, the results seem to pare down NPC opponents health meters about the same as a minor or possibly moderate attack by another power. For those who love studying the underlying math without getting a headache, it is indeed hitting for extreme damage? Or is there something else going on I'm understanding? Additionally, on those selections that offer an endurance drain, it doesn't feel like it is doing much. Again, are there figures to show the potency? And then the big question: Can someone explain the two final judgement options with more precise information? Statements like "Has a chance to..." don't really define something for me. Like, is that chance 90% or 5%, or some other, possibly a tight range? Likewise, statements like "drains endurance" doesn't clue me in to the actual percentage or range of chance. Also, if there are AT's that better fit one or the other of Ion Core Final Judgement or Ion Radial Final Judgement, I'd love to know which and the why, if possible. Thanks in advance for any clarification you can provide!!

Actually, I'd be seriously down for that. It would definitely be distinctive.

Episode 5 released, and a coworker presented a theory that upon seeing 5, I think is plausible. Thoughts: Coworker's suggestion:

Sure go ahead and pin the title of "pet" on Robin Damien. It's practically the same as trying to put a sleigh bell pet collar on a raging honey badger.

Considering some of the ridiculously easy things for which we receive badges, I'd have thought we'd at least get one for completing the full arc.

With the recent drop in level for Oroboros, is it possible for someone blue or red side to go into gold side, drop an Oro portal, and let gold players team up on flashback missions? (I'm probably just getting all that confused.)

Just needs rollerskates!

@Glacier Peak beat me to it, but that is an outstanding workhorse of a keyboard. I still have my 1991 one around here somewhere. I was always going to get an adapter for it, I just keep forgetting. Congrats! And with only 3 more years of hard savings, you should have all the components for a full, customized rig! 😁

Well, your old rig at least didn't have a cabling issue. You could use a bit of a cleanup with the current rig. Looks like you're using a round screen, is that right?. Stylish. I hear the oscillation wave is all the rage.

Right. I wasn't suggesting it's never done, just that it's rare that I see a request for a team. It sounds like, from all the comments, that this is an event in desperate need of an overhaul, but mainly in 3 ways: 1. Increase the rewards to be more in line with taking on a monster of that scale. 2. Increase the difficulty of the opponent(s) to be more in line with taking on a monster of that scale. 3. (Possibly) Find a way to interact more with ground units. (That is, unless the challenge is to adapt to circumstances.) Does that sound about right? What would you consider a reasonable resolution to each? 50% of Hamidon's rewards with 50% of the damage? Does the Seed give a Hami-O for finishing? If not, what about a 50% chance for one on top of the other rewards? (Basically set everything to half of the full Hamidon.)

Just curious...as one who has never done a Seed of Hamidon Raid, why is it that I so rarely see a LFG channel recruitment for this? Is it broken? Boring? Forgotten? Has it too many prerequisites? Other?

Granted that is a convenient, if rarely used spot. It would be more convenient if they put an Enhancement vendor over there. Maybe take one from the bottom level of City Hall. I see no reason for two in that level. That said, BAB's is too important a character in the lore to relegate him to a corner, literally. I'd personally prefer a more prominent spot for him, like replacing the Vanguard generic trainer in RWZ. He was one of the Surviving Eight from the Rikti War, after all. Makes sense to have him there. If for some reason that doesn't work, like say some lore stating a conflict between BAB and Vanguard, then let him take over Castle's position in Peregrine Island, and move Castle to RWZ or somewhere else where there's not currently a trainer. Hazard zones like Crey's Folly or Terra Volta might work. If we can put Foreshadow in the Hollows and Mirror Spirit in Faultline, Castle could work in a Hazard Zone as well. EDIT: I was just reminded that BAB is the only member of the Surviving Eight who has not served as a Task Force contact. It would take a lot of work, but a new task force with BAB as the issuing agent would be quite satisfying for him.

Tough call between Time Stone and Reality Stone, but I think I'd choose the Time Stone. Why? Because if someone tried to collect all stones, it would be the one stone that could avoid them, literally forever. Remember, it was surrendered not conquered. In fact, I'm kind of surprised it wasn't taken into the distant past and a warning given to generations of the sorcerors, split time lines or not. For all the other reasons for the Time Stone, just listen to "Time in a Bottle". Well, I would add that it would quickly make you richer than Croesus: buying stocks, lottery tickets, land purchases, etc. all on the basis of what you learn in the future, then buying them dirt cheap in the past, while also banking pennies with good interest 100 years ago for maximum yield today. I suggest the Reality Stone because if you're smart in its use, it's game over. Just immediately change reality where all Infinity Stones are unguarded and adjacent to you. You'll still need a sacrifice for the Soul Stone. The Reality Stone would also essentially make you immortal, changing reality to give you perfect health and immune from accidental damage. The big problem here is that Marvel hasn't clearly defined the laws of interaction between the stones. I would assume that one stone cannot overwrite the authority of another stone. If it could, why are there 6 stones and not just 1? So, if that assumption is true, a Time Stone that travels away in time from the other stones cannot be forced back into their proximity by the Reality Stone, or else the Reality Stone is actually also a superior Time Stone. Likewise, if you don't want to sacrifice a loved one, you cannot just override the Soul Stone using the Reality Stone to alter the rule, nor should you be able to restore that one to life using the Time Stone after claiming the Soul Stone. It would only be the control of multiple stones, and the interactive cooperation between them that might make a difference, and then only if you have the stone that is attuned to the authority. Now I need to go look at something else. My head hurts thinking about it.
