I'd prefer a reboot. For one thing, a few of the older cast have passed on, I believe. For another, I got the impression that the writing team of The Pretender did not really have a solid endgame in mind, or even a solidly fleshed out story. The final TV movie kind of hammered that point home by bringing in mystical elements that never existed in the main series. A reboot would allow them to address weaknesses in the original show, and to take our current technological world into account, making Jarod even more amazing. Besides, it might be fun to have Michael T. Weiss return, but as one of the other roles: Sydney, Mr. Parker, or Mr. Raines. I'd definitely want the surviving cast back, though, even if in new roles or cameo roles. Actually, John Gries might be able to return as Broots, but as a grandfather raising a granddaughter, rather than a father raising a daughter.

I'd prefer episodic as well: 40 minute episodes, like The Mandalorian, but with at least 13 episodes per season, unlike The Mandalorian's 8 episodes. Probably creating the concurrent spin-offs like X-Force, X-Caliber, and New Mutants, maybe even an animated show or two, like What If..? in style, to get as many in as possible. X-men collectively is such a huge story that one really cannot do justice with a movie every 3 years, like Guardians of the Galaxy.

I am such a gnome: I love working with goggles. I'm also rather fond of the scarf option under capes, and combat boots, smooth.

Perhaps Brute for Superboy using its ramping up as a representation that he's "not in the fullness of his powers"? Steel's a tough one. I dislike calling him a tank because of the 4, he's the most vulnerable, despite the quality of his armor. Scrapper seems better, but perhaps too weak. Wish there was something between brute and scrapper. Also, you can get a blast ability off the third column pool powers.

I'm still waiting for the day I bust into a side chamber of Orenbega and find a bunch of Thorns sitting around playing D&D.

A super reaction is needed for a super announcement about a super game:

I nominate "microphone" to represent "mike drop" (among other things) I nominate "staff of Aesculapius" to represent "weak. needs help". Of course "pizza (pineapple)" is a natural for "that's just sick!" so you might have your pick. Banjo, of course, should be used as a warning to paddle faster.

Sigh...we really need an issue/page focused on Foreshadow and all the Korean heroes (hopefully bringing the last two into the game!)

Marvel's got Hive, Disney's got Davy Jones. Even WoW has the Draenei. I think there's enough variety of characters sporting tentacles/tendrils out there that it wouldn't be perceived as infringement unless someone tried to get as close to a character as possible.

Didn't leave, though I've taken a low-key role of late. Real life needs do that to you. I have also branched out to try several other games. While it also reduces my time in CoH, it's a tried-and-true method for preventing burnout and leaving forever.

I'm a bit confused over the Steamboat Willie one. Disney's been using the steamboat and original mouse version repeatedly in works over the years as a marquee mascot in various movies and video works, and I believe the boat and mouse have even appeared in video games, though I think those are cameos. Would that not be considered new material and reset the timer?

I've been reading the various reports on the trial outcome and there's this quick rush to say "Bring on Dr. Doom!" Well, hold on a sec. This is a multiverse. We've already seen 3 faces of Spider-Man. It should be easy to recast Kang in all his variations. We just tap into the ones that don't look like Jonathan Majors. In fact, why not have multiple actors portraying various variations? Give a few to each actor. It would be a bit like the actors who replaced Heath Ledger for those bits he didn't film in The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus. It could even leave us guessing (at first): where is Kang coming from this time, and what face and personality does he wear? There's also the matter of that tag scene in Quantumania, where a host of Kang variants all gather. They can't just leave that alone. Recast, just like they did Rhodey. Or drop a nuke on the convention by one who wants to remain. One with a different face. If you're asking for more Marvel One-Shots, then yes, I'm all for that. I'm also down for bringing Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. properly into the MCU, not just a close but alternate 'verse, and very much down for a Captain Carter film. Maybe the "pause button" is to do live action "What If...?" in 1 hour format? Bring on Squirrel Girl!

Interesting thought, but Thor did state Yggdrasil bound together the 9 realms. Nothing more.

Resurrecting this post to add two thoughts: 1. The ghosts appear in static clusters and don't move until attacked. Can we get ghosts that hover, keeping pace with the ship unless attacked? They can be spaced out more than the clusters currently in the game. 2. Passing through the ship right now gives a minor effect, essentially a ghostly chill. Can we have a more potent, perhaps random, negative affect for coming into contact with the ship? Why contact the ship then? Possibilities: 1- contact happens accidentally in combat with the suggested spirits in point #1. 2- the ship could have a pull on those flying near it, much like the gravity pets of controllers, but perhaps stronger. 3- a potential badge for spending a notable amount of time within the "hull" of the ship. 4 - in connection with @biostem's May 2 suggestion, have a GM ghost captain in the ship, likely necessitating entrance to the ship to combat him.

Sorry for the extremely late reply. For some reason, some of my threads don't notify me of updates, and I just discovered this while doing some digging. Yeah, a villain-focused Shadow Shard is definitely needed.

Don't forget the theater posters. I'm down for this. If anything it might motivate me to finally get some training in graphic design to go with the art minor skills I still retain but rarely use. I'd like to add a suggestion that, even if it doesn't fly as an in-game opportunity, there's nothing stopping us from creating a running thread in the art forum where folks can take a screenshot of a scene in need of a banner or billboard, then work some graphics magic to incorporate their idea for display.

Circle of Thorns quite public and permanent? Wow.

Why am I not surprised there is a can involved?

Man, you came up with a better name. Hat's off to you, and I'm a tad jealous. "Egg Noggin" would have been perfect for my Egghead homage Eggsterminator.

2020? But this is 2012. The Paragon City universe must have a nightmare of political commercials with a 7-8 year campaign season.

Rarely, and almost always in connection with someone else's lead and choices.

Well, hang on to your hat then, 'cause it's said that Justin Hammer will be one of the big antagonists against Rhodey in the MCU's Armor Wars. That's assuming of course that it doesn't get the Disney axe. Last I heard it was coming out after Iron Heart and probably won't show for another 3 years. (They really need to consider that their actors' age. Pushing projects years into the future for current actors is troublesome, unless they anticipate replacing all actors at some point.) I appreciate that you use "World Tree" and not "Yggdrasil" in your comment. I'm probably the only one on the planet who stubbornly points out that Yggdrasil was the connective tissue for the 9 Realms, NOT the multi-verse. But people rushed to name Loki's creation as "Yggdrasil" completely forgetting that in the MCU canonically, Yggdrasil already existed in the form I described, and was talked about by Thor. I've not seen it, but I suspect the MCU creators even have called Loki's creation "Yggdrasil". I find the term "World Tree" a bit better, though "Worlds' Tree" or "Multiverse Tree" would probably be better still. Thank you for you time. (*Gets off soapbox.*)

It actually makes sense, if under-acknowledging Tolkien in the process. Peter Jackson, Wita, and New Line Cinema made several...adjustments...to the Tolkien stories. These have created a close, but definitely not identical, story to Tolkien's. Some of these...adjustments... were done due to film limitations of time, such as the complete removal of The Old Forest, The Barrow Downs, and all of the Tom Bombadil/Goldberry storyline. They changed the tree attack of Old Man Willow to an unnamed, angry tree in another forest. Some of the other...adjustments...notably the ones in The Hobbit trilogy, were done to heavily pad out the story, creating two wholly new main characters, new scenes, and dramatically adjusting existing scenes resulting in the length of a third movie to what should have been two. So many changes exist in fact that Christopher Tolkien angrily dismissed the LotR movies as not his father's work. So referring to the product as "Jackson's universe" makes sense. It's akin to the Joss Whedon and Zack Snyder versions of Justice League.

I'm down for it, as long as it doesn't receive the Amazon abuse treatment. I've gotten a bit rusty on my lore, so I turned to Nerd of the Rings for a refresher on Helm Hammerhand (spoilers in the video). Helm Hammerhand is obviously the man who gave name to "Helm's Deep". As to the rest what I find interesting is...

You got an empty tram car?? That's so rare, I'd have taken a picture, too!
