"One of the most common tropes in the super hero world is that of the amount of destruction that comes when heroes and villains lock horns. We all accept that it just happens. This led to thinking: What if the owner of a popular restaurant has run it into the ground and needs the place to be destroyed for the insurance money, and invites a ton of heroes and villains to dine all at the same time in the hope that a fight breaks out? What if initially everyone tries to stay calm to enjoy the experience, but sooner or later, with that roster… the storm comes." -- J. Michael Straczynski

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 scans_daily. But please, no doomscrolling, for your own sake.
That being said, the increasingly authoritarian stance of the current US administration continues to cause concern.
And petty cruelty being a feature not a bug becomes more evident with each passing day. Aside from everything else, Governor DeSantis of Florida ordered that the rainbow crosswalk outside the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, put there as a memorial to the 49 people killed in the 2016 attack, be painted black again. Locals retaliated by colouring it back in with chalk.
Trying to get into Wednesday Season 2, though I'm not sure adding the whole family in so much works particularly well. If you want to make an Addams Family series with them, do that, but this is supposed to be a spin-off with a different focus.
On the other hand, I found that I have the original "Leverage" on demand, a series which had shockingly poor terrestrial access in the UK, so it's fun to go through and watch the seasons I never got to see.

Roy Thomas originally intended to use an obscure Golden Age heroine named Wildfire in this book, but there was already a character by that name in the Legion of Super-heroes. Instead, Thomas created a new character and I’m guessing he named her after his wife as well.

Well, "god" is a tricky one because that's just who and what Thor is. What role the gods play and what they mean to mortals might be a bone of contention, but [it] feels like a pretty minor point in the day-to-day life and adventures of an Asgardian. I'd imagine the average Marvel citizen spends at least some time chewing over whether or not Thor is a "real god." I can guarantee Thor spends no time at all on it. -- Al Ewing
