Yeah I didn’t want to wade in to the political fight but the parallels between Trump - Kingpin and ICE - AVTF, are really striking. They almost remind me of Andor in their discussions of rising fascism and the literal police state. This is my worry about the end of season 2, it all came a bit too pat for me but I have faith they’ll pull it together in the long run.

Or … stay with me here, there maybe rats on that there ship.

I’m for one glad that they brought back D’Onofrio. His portrayal of Fisk has been a boon for Marvel. Honestly having a complex villain with such a strong presence makes the MCU through line for the Street level heroes much stronger then morass that the Avenger level heroes are dealing with.

it’s ~twice the time between us and our last common ancestor with platypuses (160mya) That’s a good point and it really puts deep time in perspective. But it still points the no life / life transition being extremely easy? Doesn’t it? In two to three hundred myas we had a jump from barren hell scape to single cell life. That makes if look like life must be pretty easy to get started or am I missing something? Not a biologist so I suspect I’m missing something.

Yes but, this was maybe 300 million years after Theia smashed the proto-earth half destroying the planet and forming the moon. The whole planet must have been sterilised by that right? So it’s pretty damn quick isn’t?

I should’ve know obvious answer was to obvious and therefore a trap.

Raccoon with a taser is IRL pikachu.

This show is amazing. The writing, the acting, the direction, but I’d like to take a moment to give props to the sound design at the end of the episode. The steps, Matt’s prayer, the gun shot and then the quiet, with just the breath. <chef’s kiss>

Really nice feeling of movement in your drawing. I can really feel the stretching.

Can you tell us your recipe? Because they came out looking very nice.

I swoon.

Best of all time?
The Peacemaker season 1 Theme slaps and really sets the tone for rest of the show.

Best of the 80’s? The Greatest American Hero.

Ouch that’s an expensive backup.

Its not even trolling. If you are a foreign born American Citizen getting a new birth certificate isn’t exactly easy. This why I always have kept two copies of my Birth Certificate.

Eh, he’s an Indian-American I’d still take odds he out in the next fortnight. Kegsbreath is doing all the same stuff but as a white male I recon his job is safe until after November.

I’m a little worried that no one has mentioned Mystery Inc. yet. It’s probably the best version of Scooby-Doo ever done.
Also look in to Clone High both the 2002 version and the 2023 restart. It’s a really fun show more for teenagers and the blueprint that Total Drama Island ripped off. It’s also the very first time Miller and Lord, of Spider-verse and Hail Merry fame, got to run a show.
