There are a few genres, like super heroes or secret agents, that call for a pinnacle character, but I think I mostly prefer this "ordinary person in extraordinary circumstances" trope. It's why I like DS9 more than TNG. For my fantasy games, I want a zero to hero experience. I like the feeling...

Mmmaybe, but that's a separate argument for me. I think the AP line is very overdue for a stock standard D&D AP after a few years of cops, cowboys and circus performers. I haven't read Seven Dooms yet, but I get a "traditional" vibe from that. It leads into another Runelord Path, but that may...

Big yes to Melodia and Hardware. And I don't feel like five months is an outrageous wait time for a pre-order. I can't testify that they'll be on time, but on the surface I'm really satisfied with this. I think I'll still have room for a Yes-Man, but I might have to work to squeeze in a...

I could go line-by-line, but that's all really spot on, including Dr. Strange using the wrong date. I'm not as sold on the Pascal-Kang, though. I'd just find an equally good actor to take his place and move on with no need to explain. Just Rhodey him. Major's stand-out performance as Kang...

I have been a big fan of Paizo's Adventure Paths, but this is something I've noticed about their more recent ones. They start with an event that ties the party together, but in such a way that almost excludes new party members. One of them was literally being resurrected and imbued with...

Very true. I'm only thinking in terms of anticipation. For Thanos, he makes a cameo in Avengers, then the occasional appearance or mention for the next six years before showing up for the finale. I remember how guessing where the remaining stones were was a part of fandom during that time. For...

I'd heard about the aether and power stone changes, but I wonder what they thought the tesseract was. It wasn't very space stone-y until suddenly it opened up a portal and sucked up Red Skull. I don't think the Multiverse Saga is poorly planned, I just don't think dropping it for a new plan was...

I've heard this a lot, but I don't think it holds up based on the movies. When Thanos uses the Reality Stone to mask Knowhere and fuggup Drax and Mantis, those effects immediately end after he leaves. Either there's a range limit or a concentration requirement, but they're not permanent...

Can't even donate it to Toys for Tots after that.

Partially rolled-up sleeves for a cop seems like an odd direction to go anyway.

I remember seeing that scene for the first time and thinking A) "time vortex" eh? I think I got the next movie solved, and 2) this 'half the universe' thing doesn't seem to be spread out very evenly. I mean... No, I get it. In hindsight, it set up the mystery of the quantum realm/microverse...

Guys, I'm going to need some "fer instances" here. How do people turn their toy reviews into political rants?

Season 3 finale

No, I mean in release schedule. It's fine, it's just a hard jump going immediately from the Snap to a movie where it's not a thing.

Ant-Man & the Wasp Kind of awkwardly sat after the Snap, but with no reference to it until the post-credit scene. I don't know that there's a better place for it, because you want to fill the time between Infinity War and Endgame, but still kind of noticeable. Ohmylord that de-aging is...

Turns out I've already seen 'Enemy Mine' and 'Arena,' so I'm good.

Sorry, I was being a bit facetious. They did it, like, once before. But yeah, I remember that story. I don't *think* big techno belt Iceman is my preferred Iceman, but I guess if you're going specifically for Fall of the Mutants era X-teams, that's your guy.

I've never bought a UCS Lego set, but I'm really tempted just because of the customizing options.

Those Byrne covers are basically this summer's Barbenheimer.

I'm ready for an Iceman. I can't tell is his head sculpt has any of the faceted surfaces I'd want on him, but it was a clever dodge to include ice clip-ons. That belt's comings off, though. Now sure why they keep insisting he has a big ol' belt.

I thought they were maybe a bunch of headless soldiers, but I can do that with my figures now.

There is Mr. Legacy, the foremost historian of the arcane. He comes with a couple spellbooks, but his bio avoids saying if he himself is a magician. Also, there are a few characters in their 1/18 O:MF line and one of them, the Advocate, has this in his description: I asked about them over on...

I'm sure krakens/lagoon creatures are on the short list. They'll probably come with frog heads or something so they can sell them as Deep Ones, but they'll have alternate heads to recreate the Palitoy figure for sure. I rapid-fired my wishlist a while back, but aside from Mr. Hyde, I can't...

I have everything Beyond the Wall. I've never played it, but i find a lot of the world-building really smart. I especially like how they turn setting creation itself into a shared game. It's basically the players will suggest some rumors or adventure sites they've heard of, and the DM will...

The Stranger's fight choreography was really good, and I liked the introduction of cortosis, but I think they really benefitted from some causality slight of hand. Spoilers if you haven't seen it yet He murders a bunch of nameless Jedi and you're, like, not at all shocked. But it convinces...
