The green one is a person blacked out due to an intensely-bright, celestial-like aura surrounding them, not unlike our single-target healing auras in the game (though they are less bright, of course). What puzzles me is what's happening at the base of the image. I can't clearly tell if the figure is up to his hips in a pool, or casting a small shadow, or in some freaky kneeling position. Your frisbee or beret guess was probably better than mine. I've long seen the edge and slope of a red tortoise shell, with a hockey puck sticking between the two shell halves. LOL. 🤪

(Skywalker's kid, Skywalker's grandkid, Palpatine's grandkid...the man has some experience with this point.)

Aegis is supposed to be some sort of ancient shield, perhaps with some odd attempt at creating a goat hide covering. The Aegis in Greek mythology was a unique protection device, often described in terms of a shield covered in goat's hide, but the variations of what the device was or looked like are legion. Regardless, it was meant to give special defense, so we have Aegis as a damage reduction set.

Episode 2 is out and it was good to see the return of a favorite SW monster of mine, as well as the return of ____________ .

Mistitled article. Should read: The Worst Article on Characters in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. That or: We Had To Come Up With Something Before A Deadline, So We Decided To Just Draw Lots On Who We're Going To Call "Worst Characters". Honestly, Steve and Tony in the list? Geek Card Turn-In is that way >>>>> (I will grant you Trevor Slattery should be on the list. But placing him as #12 just shows how random their whole mess is.)

Yeah, that's a great way to summarize my expectations. Loki as seeming anti-hero, but with the potential to go full-on villain at any moment. I think I'm most intrigued with Owen Wilson's role. I'm not a huge fan of Owen, more neutral, but the trailers show a very interesting performance from him. I kind of picture his character (and the TVA as a whole) in your stated context as the equivalent of the Gallifreyan leadership: clever, dangerous, confident that they have the Master completely under control, even foiling him a few times, but ultimately either resulting in a walk-away draw, or with him besting them in some way. You and an army of Cyberm...um, fans, yes.

What Vee said. 😉 I think I heard successive episodes will be 1/2 hour each, though perhaps the series/season finale will be longer. The next one will drop this Friday. They did the hour-long one for Star Wars Day, otherwise it probably would have dropped last Friday.

To show you what I think of (most) of those criticisms of superhero costuming (and hopefully get this thread back on track), I'm posting my fire/ice blaster Grill N. Chill in his classic golden age costume: bright colors, fold-down boots, cape, exposed skin, and even things not mentioned like bold chest logo that is practically a bullseye for enemies to use, ridiculously big belt and ridiculously small identity-hiding mask. (Missing the overshorts though.) And that criticism of day-glow colors? Check out these power auras! Bad boys, pray you never see them in a darkened warehouse. Glorious.

The devs just added a feature tied into street sweeping. I believe it was meant to encourage some street sweeping. If you do street sweeping, eventually the game will start dropping tips that will point you to the locations of the exploration badges hidden around the zone. These tips are stored in the same location as alignment tips.

More like flash mobs. You should see the zombies that do "Thriller".

Just saw the first episode of The Bad Batch, and it did not disappoint! Graphics are improved yet again, this time over season 7 of the Clone Wars. Thoughts

If it is possible, I'd take it further. I was thinking about it yesterday when I logged in only to find a message pop up after several minutes announcing an end to a zone event. Had I been informed at the moment I could start moving of any events currently happening, I might have been able to super speed over to it and caught the last half. So, having a current events messaging system that alerts an inbound player (or for that matter a player coming out of an instance) as to any current events might allow them to contribute. I'd not complain if also the LFG channel were to broadcast the previous 1 minute of message at login. That way, we might know about that rare Sister Psyche task force recruiting before it fills.

Where would you put "Light" in that lineup, before or after "Minor"? I've been seeing both on some recent toons.

Yep, it's Malwarebytes. Caught me offguard because I never see it do anything like that. I take it false positives are common with it's browser function? I really need to remove it anyway, and put it to USB drive. I'd always intended it as a secondary AV software in case the first was compromised for any reason.

I went to midsreborn.com, or at least tried to, but my anti-malware flagged the site as trojan infested and warned me off. I'm guessing that's a false positive, but I'm just double-checking before I continue to site and download anything. Anyone else seen this? Has there been a past problem with it that may have flagged the site long-term in anti-malware programs? Maybe I'm going to the wrong site for the program?

Yeah, I didn't get the whole "Karli was just misunderstood and was a patriot" spiel. The car/building bomb alone should have ended that discussion. The continuing name of The Winter Soldier is a more complex issue. Technically, the title The White Wolf was given to T'Challa's adopted white brother: a child adopted by King T'Chaka, after he was the sole survivor of a plane crash into Wakanda. But the MCU has been referencing Bucky this way. Which leaves the question of whether they'll ever bring the white brother story to the screen. If so, that may be why they're reserving the name. The character was something of a wanderer/rogue, and in the MCU the Black Panther may have taken the name back when his brother left the country. He may yet return to claim his title. There's also a fan theory I read that Bucky may go through his own process of coming fully into a new identity, and they've held back the name for that reason. It doesn't help that Chad's real life tragic death threw the whole Wakanda storyline future into chaos. Who knows what happens now?

And that means Star Wars: The Bad Batch, aka The Continuing Saga of the Clone Wars, is set to appear! I'm mightily stoked! More so knowing the Ming-Na Wen (Mulan, Agents of SHIELD, The Mandalorian) will be part of the cast. Dee Bradley Baker is going to do a phenomenal job with the roles, I'm sure.

Dual computer usage is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be... unnatural. (Those movies are far too quotable in a COH context.) 😁

Just sayin'... (Yes, I'm aware that its a reference to a Marvel character, but its also THE store in Wandavision.)

Somehow Ryan has managed to voice all my concerns about The Falcon & The Winter Soldier, while doing so in a very funny way. I loved the show, but was really surprised about how viewers glossed over some pretty big implications. And then there's the whole helmet, or lack thereof, bit.

Never heard them called the "Rue B Rue gang", but that's hilarious. Yeah, DA or maybe Croatoa would be great for a Mystery, Inc. homage. Not sure how you'd work them as a duo detective setup though, unless they were divided into the classic teamups: Fred & Daphne as one "detective" (with probably Fred "talking"), and Velma, Shaggy, and Scooby as the other "detective", with Velma talking. Hmm, maybe, instead of putting them in a building, stand them next to an aqua & green van. That said, I think they'd be more flexible as a standard set of mission givers on the street. Still want to see the homage, though!

Ugh, I feel your pain, several times over. There's a reason I won't run Posi 1 more than once per character, and you just named it. You remember it is said some people just want to watch the world burn? Well, some people just want to let the CoT out. I would add a sub point to that "pulling everything" line: charging in all macho-like to deal with the shadow copies with no game plan, and completely forgetting they have everything in their powers that your team has.

As @Oubliette_Red pointed out, multiple accounts can be run on one computer, assuming yours has the power needed. You'll need to go into the settings of the starter window (green box with cog symbol) and check the box "Allow multiple instances" under General Settings.

@OTGWraith - providing which side you'd like to work on (blue, red, gold) might help those who would help you. Sounds like you've got a fun idea.

Okay, that's an interesting statement. Is it meant to say that the Dr. Q TF has "tendrils" into other materials that would have to be fixed, too, or that it is perceived as one piece in a major production (but with no game-breaking "tendrils") I realize you may not be able to talk details, just curious whether there's a cascade effect to tweaking Dr. Q TF
