  1. An ostracized mutant gains social status by facilitating global commerce.
  2. Is it Green Eggs and Ham, ccstat-you-at?
  3. I know some first hand, and I can confirm that the questions "Who is a Jew?" and "What does 'chosen people' mean?" are subjects of debate within the Jewish community.
  4. What is illegitimate here? Edit: Hang on, is it Animorphs?
  5. Hilariously so, yes.
  6. "When you take 45 minutes to make chicken Florentine, you make chicken Florentine... with Hitler!" Edit:
  7. One time, I ate a nacho. Then I ate another. Then I ate two more. Then I scooped up three and ate 'em. Then I went to pick up six, dropped one, and ate the rest.
  8. Whew! Finally done with The Phantom Pain.
  9. Steven Universe?
  10. The Twelfth last year was set up to be the Good Is Not Nice Doctor, with a prickly style kind of like the First. This two-parter has been setting the tone for more of a "cool" uncle who says dude and wears shades. Not a good change for an era already lacking in consequences.
  11. As long as your name isn't Martha Wayne, you won't.
  12. Fight Club 2.
  13. Just ask yourself...
  14. Humans have a knack for adapting.
  15. It's just a big, fluffy puppy with bad teeth.
  16. Propagandist.
  17. Hah! I've been waiting for that! 17th Shard: forums so nice they won't mention this until 10 pages in!
  18. And isn't it odd that that's one of the most healthy attitudes towards a character's gender and design that we've ever seen in games? That it's an afterthought!
  19. Of couse, there is also the best armor a female character has ever had:
  20. Dirty Harry is eating a hot dog nearby when a bank gets robbed. He shootybangs a bunch and the bad guys get killed or captured. When he gets up to the last one he gives the "Did I fire six shots or only five/Do I feel lucky?" speech for the first time. It works and the robber drops his gun. Then comes a moment that's not as iconic, but sticks with me as a cultural signpost. The last robber says, "Hey. I gots ta know." and Harry pulls the trigger with a click. It was a bluff. That characterization - the guy is plainly a flat "black thug thug criminal black crime thug." This was the original Dirty Harry, and this and other aspects would go on to be an unquestioned template for cop movies thereafter. What I'm saying is, you can try to improve things instead of just letting them stagnate for decades.
  21. "Mein shticky friends?"
  22. In much of Latin America, he's "Doctor Misterio." (I'm voting 4 "Most Likely To Have Been a Luchador" ) (Edit: Hang on, of course it'd be 11.)
  23. If DC and Marvel were in it for the art, you wouldn't have superheroes being basically the genre of comics. I wanna see comedies, dramas, fantasy, space adventure, historical/educational stuff eating into superheroes' shelf space.
