Showing them in different lights or alternative universes, or giving them new origins, or adding complexity – it doesn’t work. The best way to do Super-characters, at least in my opinion, is to sort of strip all that stuff down. It seems like there are just these barnacles on these characters, until you’ve got angel wings and ectoplasm. -- Tom King

Way of X #3 - "The Joy of X"
Jul. 14th, 2021 10:18 amlaughing_tree
Anyway, I'm halfway through writing the “Make more mutants” issue. The working title is “The Joy of X.” I don't know if I'll get away with that. It’s a lot of fun, mixed with some crazy repercussions. It's the sort of lateral-thinking stuff that you can examine when you have a world that's been built so cleverly. You can start to dial into the granular stuff and see how it would all work if you were there on the ground. In other words, this isn’t just a heady book about religion and philosophy. It's also a hoot. -- Si Spurrier

icon_ukA subject that has been brought to the Mod Team's attention lately is the use and impact of the "Ban User" blocking function, and we have been discussing how we wish to address it within Scans_Daily.
Let us state, first and foremost, that your privacy and security should always be paramount. No member should ever take action which might, in any way, make then feel unsafe.
The "Ban User" functionality on Dreamwidth is very straightforward, hovering over a users avatar will show "Ban User" as an option. This is not a group dependent function, it's automatically available to anyone with a DreamWidth account.
We, as a Mod Team, will never use "Ban User" on a member (Our ultimate sanction for members is temporary suspension/permanent expulsion from the Scans_Daily community as part of the Disciplinary process, but "Ban User" is not part of that process).
In turn, members are not expected to use "Ban User" on a Mod, as we have a requirement to be able to reply to any and threads and posts if/when the need arises.
As and when Mod's change, the same will be true for any new Mod coming on.
If you have concerns over a particular Mod, then they can be raised with the Mod Team for discussion, we're not a monolithic entity and will seek to address any concerns fairly and equitably.
Please note that Mods cannot undo someone's "Ban User" choices, that is linked to your own account, not the Scans_Daily account.
However, something to bear in mind is that "Ban User" is VERY powerful.
If you have used "Ban User" on someone then they not only cannot reply to you directly, but they cannot reply to anyone's comments on any post you are the creator of.
Thus if you reply on a post, then someone on your "Ban User" list cannot reply to you, and if you have made a post, someone who is on your "Ban User" list cannot interact with any comments on that post.
So, whilst who you choose to block is your own affair, we would ask that it be kept to a minimum amongst scans_daily members wherever possible. Blocking prevents conversation and the general flow of discussion, which is a large part of our raison d'etre, and can also cause stress to the person who finds that they cannot comment, especially if the person you have blocked is unaware that you have done so, or the reasons you might have done so.
If members have concerns on this topic please feel free to raise them here, or contact the Mods via our usual contact of scansdailymod[at]gmail[dot]com . We can't promise we'll know all the answers immediately, but we'll do our best to address them.
Thank you

NS: Loki Season 1 Discussion
Jul. 14th, 2021 03:30 pmcyberghostface
For those who watched it, what did you think of Loki?
In my opinion it’s the best of the MCU shows so far if only because of Tom Huddleston who has consistently been one of the highlights of the MCU. He does a great job and the show manages to add new facets to his character that will hopefully be explored further.Without spoiling anything I will also say this is probably the first MCU series that I think will become important to future films in terms of what it sets up and introduces. I was a bit surprised at how deep it got given how minor the past two series were in the grand scheme of things.
