Rorschach #10-11

"Loki for America was going to begin with the day of the election, and the Democratic party had conceded the election and Loki had officially won the US Presidency. He's walking on a stage while people chant 'President Loki! President Loki!'. His brother Thor is even there to congratulate him, but leans in while shaking his hand and whispers 'You're not worthy.' Loki is shaken by that but makes his way up to the podium. As he is about to talk, he's assassinated... shot dead.

Mod Post: Off-Topic Tuesday

[icon_uk]

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.

The Olympics are over, and whilst I still raise a cynical eyebrow at the decision to go ahead with it at all, and some of the decisions of the commmittee, I do have to applaud the competitors and the sense of sportsmanship that came through.

Be it the Uzbekistan Rhythmic Gymnastics team doing a routine to the Sailor Moon theme (and in matching costumes), or runner Isaiah Jewett helping competitor Amos Nijel across the finish line in an 800m heat, or the Italian and Qatar high jumpers being so evenly matched that they asked if they could share the gold medal or Simone Biles having the extraordinary courage to put her own mental health needs first and withdraw from a competition in the global spotlight because she couldn't face it, only to return later in the Games and win a Bronze.

Bleaker news, alas, from the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change about the state of the global environment and the impact of climate change. But you can read that for yourself if you feel up to it.

I'd completely forgotten that Titans Season 3 launches this week so... that's happening.

So is the launch of Marvel's "What If...?" series.

Miraculous Ladybug is tugging at the old heartstrings, as more new heroes are being summoned, including the striking (pun intended) Purple Tigress and as a result, a certain catboy is feeling more and more left out of things. :(
