Mod Post: Off-Topic Tuesday

In the comments to these weekly posts (and only these posts), it's your chance to go as off topic as you like.

Talk about non-comics stuff, thread derail, and just generally chat among yourselves.

The intent of these posts is to chat and have some fun and, sure, vent a little as required. Reasoned debate is fine, as always, but if you have to ask if something is going over the line, think carefully before posting please.

Normal board rules about conduct and behaviour still apply, of course.

It's been suggested that, if discussing spoilers for recent media events, it might be advisable to consider using the rot13 method to prevent other members seeing spoilers in passing.

The world situation is the world situation. If you're following the news, you know it as much as I do, if you're not, then there are better sources than me. But please, no doomscrolling, for your own sake.

There is still hope though: In Montana, speeches by trans and non-binary representatives helped switch the vote of enough Republicans to stop anti-trans legislation

Also, the current US Administration (using the term in it's loosest possible sense) has started losing the many court cases brought against them by those who they summarily fired, and organisations tried to defund.

"Daredevil: Born Again" debuted last week with a two episode drop.

"Ramadan Mubarak" to those who observe it.

Sorry, one of those days where little time for posting! Gotta go!

Absolutely.

Without spoilers...

Invincible: [REDACTED] has an entire multi-season arc where he/she goes from annoying and immature to... well.. less annoying and more mature. Given that I hated him/her early on and didn't mind him/her at the end, I'd call that a win for the character. And that sacrifice? Epic.

Daredevil: Producers be like "Hey, look! Those characters you really wanted back are back! PSYCH! Just kidding!" Given how Daredevil handled the issue I am aborting watching the rest of the season. I'd have preferred they completely omitted those two characters and pretended this was an Alt universe and then, at some point in season 2 or 3, they (with the original actors) be reintroduced and treated respectfully. This was just a slap in the face to fans of those two characters and one that added ZERO to the current ongoing story.
