Marvel as a company doesn’t support Trump. The CEO of the company Isaac Perlmutter donated 1 million to a Trump run veteran fund in January. The ideals of the CEO do not encompass those of the company as a whole, and he has disagreed with the direction of Marvel before such as Marvel making a Captain Marvel, female-lead film.
A billionaire donated a million to a bigot’s veteran’s fund. That doesn’t make the company evil,
I would find a shiny during a Nuzlocke. It would also happen to be the first thing encountered in the area! Going to need to transfer it up a few generations.
If you need further proof that this decision by Marvel is the actual worst thing ever, please consider that Captain America has officially lost the moral high ground to the Joker.
That’s right.
THE JOKER NOW HAS HIGHER MORAL STANDARDS THAN STEVE ROGERS, AND THAT’S JUST NOT RIGHT PEOPLE
You forget one time they had everybody die to a zombie apocalypse. (DC did the same thing.) And another time Thor was a frog. And all the times Superman has snapped or turned evil.
Comics do silly things. That’s what they do.
well there’s a difference between AU and main U. What’s happening now is the writers are trying to make the MCU, the universe with chris evans and robert downy jr, have hydra cap. If it was an AU it would be fine but this is the main universe that they’re messing with.
It’s an MCU AU being born. :D Just wait. Don’t worry, just wait. They’ll reveal it’s an MCU AU.
MCU is what’s considered canon in this generation , not an au
Seeing as both Chris Evans and Kevin Feige have spoken out against Hydra Cap I’m fairly certain that it’s not going to touch the MCU. It’s likely just going to be a short lived story line in the comics and never extend beyond that.
I think X-Men: Apocalypse has been reviewed so poorly not because it’s a bad movie, far from it, it just has a lot to live up to within its own series and a lot of competition in the last few months.
X-Men: Apocalypse has its flaws, but it’s a solid film and a lot of fun. Yes it’s probably the third best superhero film this year, but when it’s up against Captain America: Civil War, Deadpool, and BvS: Dawn of Justice, a third place standing isn’t a bad thing. It doesn’t reach quite the same standards as Civil War, but it is far and away better than BvS.
Definite recommendation, especially for X-Men fans.
Hmmm, to have Raricow’s Twilight Sparkle and Starlight Glimmer in a secret relationship that regularly becomes a 3-way when Trixie’s in town…yay or yay?
The yays have it, and I’ll try and get at least a sketch or two done for the update tonight after work. Send in questions to @ask-raricow to help spark things.

New laptop has been set up and is running. SAI is installed and running, and Photoshop has been purchased and is loading. A very expensive technical issue today.

It’s almost like similar or even identical themes can be employed with different amounts of success by different movies. I can’t speak for X-Men Apocalypse, but between Civil War and BvS the points here are really night and day.
Civil War is more serious and deals with complex issues surrounding relationships. BvS is unnecessarily dark where it doesn’t need to be and gets lost in its own attempts to be complex or deep.
Both movies use CGI well, but the shooting of each movie plays to it differently with the cinematography in Civil War being more appealing to the masses and accentuating of the action whereas BvS used slow mo in places to build emotion but not where it was needed to show weight.
Every character in Civil War has their own scenes and moments that build on the characters, as well as previous experiences and movies that people who have followed the series knows of. There’s less to set up so the few new characters that are there get their chance to shine and the old characters get to grow more. In BvS there’s only 2 characters in the entire film with previous backing in that world, and a large cast to introduce. As such there’s a lot of rushing to introduce characters in cameos that cuts away from needed scenes that would have kept some of the subplots coherent instead of muddied and off-screen.
Fans of the comics knew what they were going to see at the end, superheroes fighting for their own ideological reasons. In Civil War people were disappointed that they didn’t include more characters and kill Cap to more closely match the comics, but understood that there are licensing issues with Marvel characters and more movies to be made so killing a major character would be a waste of time. In BvS people were thrilled to finally see two iconic characters together on screen, and were disappointed by their motivations for fighting being virtually nonexistent, coupled with the unneeded inclusion of Doomsday which guaranteed the death of Superman in the second movie in the series,thereby killing any sense of major threat or loss should he come back to life (Spoiler alert, he will)
Different movies can do the same thing differently, and have it be met with different responses. It doesn’t mean that people are saying one thing’s automatically better because they prefer the characters, it means it was done objectively better and people recognize that.
Nothing hurts my experience with a game quite like having the last 5 percent (and most of the rest of the actual game) just be a slog of wave after wave of the same generic enemies with little to no variety.
What about being 96% away from completion but you missed some of the items and you don’t know where the fuck they are because you used a walkthroguh but you still somehow missed some.
That’s frustrating when going for absolute completion, but is more of a matter of personal oversight than game design. I’m just trying to play through this game and I’m well passed annoyed at the pacing, having reached the 48th “ambush” in 2 hours of playing a Naughty Dog shooter. I want to see the end of the story but damn if the gameplay isn’t boring and bugging me.

Quick tutorial on how to pay artists for digital-only commissions ( which means no shipping)
If you choose the shipping option when the artists is only doing a digital commission, and paypal sees that the artist didn’t ship anything, it creates trouble for the artist, to put it simply. So let’s not do that!
Haven't seen the new episode yet. I'm guessing it's one of those "X learns to stop being a cunt" episodes?
Sort of. More of a “Rainbow needs to learn to calm down and not be a nuisance with every waking breath” episode really. I don’t like Rainbow (or Scootaloo) as a character, so this episode was painful for me.
Captain America: Civil War may very well be my new favorite film in the MCU. It’s amazing how many comparisons can be made between it and Batman vs Superman, and how they’re all done a lot better in Cap 3.
I’m not saying the Clinton campaign has been involved with election fraud, I’m just saying that every time there have been cases of voting times suddenly shortened, voting locations suddenly cut down, voter registrations suddenly being changed, and vote counts changing while still being counted it has been in Hillary’s favor.
