Confession is good for the Hype. - - - - Part 13

[Warhammer]

Other than the Hank McCoy cameo (not too big of a deal) and Moira McTaggert (probably the biggest continuity error), there isn't anything else that's an issue continuity-wise. Now if we're talking about just stupid stuff, I could write a thesis on how stupid X-Men: The Last Stand is. I do hope that they come up with something plausible for Xavier's resurrection (or bring up the X3 post-credit scene) instead of sweeping it under the rug.

F***ing Singer just had to go direct his Donner love project.

F***ing Singer just had to go direct his Donner love project.

More like ****ing Fox had to go and rush the project along without him completely out of spite.

Which one?

Magic: the Gathering. An older line of novels implied that the ending of a long-running story arc was in fact a pyrrhic victory; hints of the big baddie's survival were peppered throughout the novel. That, among other things, got the majority of the fandom upset. So a later set of novels passed it all off as a dream, which seemed kind of sloppy as far as storytelling goes.

The fandom itself turned me off of the franchise. Matthew Stover wrote a tie-in novel which featured some slightly more modern-sounding dialogue. Stuff you'd likely hear in the real world instead of pseudo-Tolkienesque fantasy dialogue. That, among other creative liberties Stover took, caused them to act like a bunch of entitled children. When Stover called them on it, they started calling him a jerk. It was all very embarrassing for me, as I really enjoyed what Stover had added to the franchise.

Incidentally, that novel has also been retconned out of continuity.

I confess sometimes I question whether a guy is really joking when they do a marriage proposal over the Internet through a Facebook comment, tweet, or a forum post.

 

[E-Man]

Nothing is real on the internet, LiLo.

The last series from them I read was the Onslaught books.

That, too. F***ing Rothman.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

That, too. F***ing Rothman.

I confess, whenever I see the name Rothman I think of the cigar brand

 

[GENERAL RAAM582]

I confess that the lack of promotional stuff for DOFP is worrying me.

 

[KevanG]

I confess we need more Godzilla promos.

 

[MrsKent26]

I confess that the weather I'm experiencing in my northern Canadian town is making me depressed. My co-workers laugh at all my angry rants about it and seem to think I'm joking. But I really do hate it that much and it really does depress me at times. I know it's dumb to get upset over things I can't change, but this weather effects me daily and makes life difficult.

So as not to freak/gross you out Loca, my marriage proposals are tongue in cheek. It's just good ole fashioned fun, but I won't ever do it again if it makes you feel uncomfortable.

Totally anonymous, only occasionally interacting over a message board acquaintance/casual buds again?

 

[Lily Adler]

It wasn't yours that freaked me out, but someone posted one a year or two ago on my friends twitter account. I wasn't sure if he was serious or not cause he was semi-stalking it.

I confess WE. NEED. MORE. MODS.

 

[KevanG]

I'll do it!

BRING ME MY BANHAMMER!

 

[Lily Adler]

Seriously, more than half the mods are barely active anymore and only visit this forum once in a blue moon. We need more active members to be mods.

 

[KevanG]

Too bad PWs gone, he could have been an epic mod.

 

[MrsKent26]

I agree. I'm not sure how people go about becoming mods, but we do need a few more.

 

[KevanG]

I'm sure it's a grueling physical and mental test to become one, 50 mile hikes and death threats to your pets and should you not be able to handle the initiation, a 'paddlin' from what I've heard, your account gets banned for 'Watching My Little Pony and enjoying it too much." The horror!

I kid. I'm sure it's more work than most of us expect out of it.

 

[MrsKent26]

Even if it is more work, I'm sure some people would be up for it. And if those folks are decent humans, I'm all for letting them try.

 

[KevanG]

I don't know about being a decent human but I'd be willing to give it a go. I have my acceptance speech already written.

 

[MrsKent26]

^ You seem reasonable and helpful. I'd vote for you...if it was a voting sort of thing.

 

[KevanG]

I have no idea how mods are appointed. Let's all spam CC until she tells us.

 

[MrsKent26]

It's worth finding out. I really don't think there are enough mods to deal with all these immature folks that pop up here. If anyone seems like a decent person and needs a recommendation or something, I would give one.

 

[KevanG]

I say we vote Sawyer mod of the Batboards.

 

[MrsKent26]

I don't know about him. He wants to steal Henry Cavill from me.

But he would be merciless with the banhammer, which would be amusing.

Hmmm, I'm conflicted.
