Not any comment on this discussion itself. It does not actually appear that you were trolling, etc. However, you have to admit that calling yourself a troll in your username doesn't help a lot when it comes to people accusing you of trolling.

I'm pretty sure that ball was not supposed to be rubber. Of the things to object to there, that seems like a silly thing to object to. A more problematic thing to worry about would be the electric net gun that easily takes down the god of thunder. Not to mention the tiny little electric disk that can zap him into submission. I get that it's supposed to be advanced alien technology and that maybe more is going on than just an electric shock, but it's still a bit silly when a superhero goes from being who can withstand the full force of a star to being neutralized by a tiny little device that's apparently a dime a dozen.

Of course I've always been bothered by that kind of thing in and out of comics. Stuff like power cancellation collars. You can be the mightiest, most invulnerable super-being but oops, get this collar around your neck and that's it. It's power-neutralizing you see. Doesn't matter what power or how it's achieved, it just neutralizes it. Regardless of how much actual power, a commodity, off the rack device will cancel it.

Bothers me a heck of a lot more than Thor knocking himself over with something he threw because he wasn't paying attention. Also, MCU Thor was pretty much always played like that.

Off topic but, in relation to your .sig, I remember a joke from Steve Wozniak's joke book (he co-wrote it with someone but can't remember the other guy offhand). It went something like:

A programmer had as his epitaph: Let it be known that, although he was bent, spindles and mutilated. He did not fold!

"Hollywood accounting" like that is why stars insist on percentages of box office receipts (as well as disc sales, streaming sales, etc.) in any profit sharing arrangement these days.

They're full on calling empathy a sin now. I mean, how much more far gone can they get?

Warner Brothers Discovery and the Safran company, who are behind this movie, are publicly traded companies. Those profits from the stock market are predicated on actual investment in actual products somewhere along the line.

Creating a world where everything breaks if the Internet goes down simply to make greater profits is not "the right thing". It's an atrocity.

Which functionally bricks the product. Because Nintendo and most console makers and games companies (as well as all sorts of providers of various software, not to mention hardware) have quite intentionally created a situation where what were once products have been converted into services. Even when there's a one time payment for a "product" it is tied to a service that artificially limits its lifespan, etc.

Yeah. It's pretty sad, but I am feeling like I'm done with Nintendo at this point. At least for new stuff. I could always potentially change my mind, but I do kind of get sick of companies with rabid legal departments.

As I replied to the poster who suggested cutting the fiber optic cables with a flamethrower...

Using a laser is a fine idea. It is a workable solution to cutting the cables. You just have to flesh out the idea by also explaining how you locate the cable and get the laser in position to cut it.

Anyone who actually has some idea of what is going on knows that electronic warfare systems are already in heavy usage on the front lines. If you're the original AC who wrote:

Then you clearly don't understand that plenty of people have thought of this and such ideas are being implemented.

I think that what you're missing is that you have a poor grasp of real world spatial relationships. Otherwise you would understand that the problem is not the method that you're suggesting for cutting the fiber-optic lines, but the issue of accessing the locations the lines are running in and locating them to cut them in the first place.

Flamethrower is just fine as a way to cut them. You have to give a full solution though, how do you get the flamethrower in position to cut the lines in time to do something about the drone?

I think that you're dealing with the kind of person who thinks that the solution to people sneaking bombs onto aircraft is to have them pass individually through a chamber that contains a device that causes bombs to detonate (yes, this is a thing I have heard people suggest).

In other words, someone whose grasp of technology is based on badly written fiction.

So, if you're just going to say in your post that you're train0987, why bother posting AC?

In any case, you clearly have a rich fantasy life (I mean, with Donald Trump in office, the US economy could be in trouble, but that's about the closest you got to reality).

Not increasing more each day, in fact.
