You know, I'm not opposed to invoking Natural's Law. Comparison of other oppressed people to black people often helps me personally understand the things that those oppressed groups complain about. I have a basis in the things that I already take to be inherent truths.

The problem is more often when a majority group makes the comparison.

The main issue I have with people invoking Natural's Law is that it is ALWAYS black people that GAFers want to bring up (especially when Prop 8 happened and GAFers like Gaborn (RIP) and Kryptonian and others went on the war path). There are so many other ethnic/minority groups on the planet that have gone through issues. Just ONCE can someone bring up a South Korean comparison? Or an Indigenous Australian situation? Or any other group besides the "default" one for inequality comparisons?

Does marvel ever come up with new superheroes? It seems like it's been the same people since the 70s. Every notable character I looked up: "first appearance in 1968".

Kind of makes it difficult to tell new stories with new heroes if the same twenty people have been saving the world and universe for decades.

Best part of theist is that they put their heads down and close their eyes to pray. Allowing me to sneak off and get cake unnoticed at my grandma's birthday party.

I loved it as a kid, but I was a kid. I just remember seeing the cutscene with blood and being like 'oh shit this is forreal.'

Still worth giving a try. I recall it getting incredibly difficult later on though. Now Legend of the Dragoon is a shitty rose tinted game, avoid that one.

Who's the mutant girl who creates time bubbles? She popped up during Decimation along with a handful of new mutants. Did they do anything with those characters?

Wild Arms got a really decent update. Legend of Dragoon... man, I liked it. But it has aged horribly. It's got a perfect amount of cheese imo but its a long drudge to say the least. Imagine a Tales game without the humor.

They do, but they hardly ever stay around. I'd like to see some new heroes shine and Marvel has finally done that with The Guardians of the Galaxy who have only been around since 2008 I think.

I'm aware of the late 60's team, but they're completely different and I think the original team wasn't around for long.

I'd like to see DC promote some new heroes too and give them an animated series, movie, or live-action movie.

How the movie did Gamora is the real tragedy.

goes from most dangerous woman in the galaxy to
getting choked out, damseled, and only revered because she's associated with Ronan - who himself is a scrub.

Movie Gamora was being held back by a couple of lowlife Ravagers while Yondu and Quill argue over the plot.

Comic Gamora would have just killed everyone in the frame three seconds into that argument.
