Re: Serious question...what did Heather Antos actually *do*?

Yes, crossed some wires. It had been a while - like 15 years since I read Alpha and Omega. I forgot about the star but remembered Phil panicking when Gayle started getting sick and sucking it all in. I remember the star looking about like our sun. What makes black holes dangerous and extends their r...

Re: Serious question...what did Heather Antos actually *do*?

It would take a LOT of anti-matter to destroy the world. By a factor of mass times the speed of light squared. If Solar could, at that early point in his having powers, convert energy to matter, he likely could just as easily convert energy to anti-matter. That could be a considerable source of anti...

Re: Serious question...what did Heather Antos actually *do*?

Cool, I just have a different opinion. With all of the sci-fi elements already in Valiant, it stretches my credibility that the world would then remain an exact copy of ours in every other respect as the years go on. We can agree to disagree on that. I would agree that the world would change. Rai #...

Re: Serious question...what did Heather Antos actually *do*?

Realistically, nobody has the stomach to give money for that as a fan including you, and the comic would be committing a larger self sabotage than they currently are that would lead to even faster death than what we saw with VEI. Comic writers of the last decade really haven't shown they're savvy e...

As much as I loathe to weigh in on political matters, MOTA has some good points about T-ump. I'm sympathetic to some culturally conservative ideas, but the Tump fans have to accept that the majority of the country (and the world) are straight up repulsed by the guy.

Re: Serious question...what did Heather Antos actually *do*?

Poor Mexico, so far from the Lord, so close to the United States. This quote got me to comparing Trump to Porfirio Diaz in my mind. Wouldn’t it be great if Donald Trump was our version of Porfirio Diaz? :D :D I have no doubt that he wants to. It's his endgame. I would not have guessed you to be the...

Re: Clarke's Third Law - what does it say?

Why would the burden of proof be wholly on the side of magic? Why is magic assumed to be impossible if there is the slimmest indicator that some fictional artifact has a technological origin? Especially when the creators clearly meant for these artifacts to have magical origins, like the dagger and...

Re: Serious question...what did Heather Antos actually *do*?

In the '90s, VALIANT managed to do inclusion and diversity considerably better than most comic books, TV shows, and movies do today. Actually, 90s scifi/geek culture did diversity and inclusion much better than most things now. Think of all the female led action movies that weren't just vehicles fo...

Re: In Hindsight, does anyone wish VEI would've kept the OG VALIANT continuity?

Live-Action Gargoyles Series in Development at Disney+ (Report) In the comments, presumably fans are already *SQUEE* about it being a reboot instead of a revival that picks up from where it left off.

Re: Clarke's Third Law - what does it say?

Agreed. However, before we reach this part, "When he states that something is impossible, he is very probably wrong", we must first exhaust all other alternatives until we've reached the point in which it becomes absolutely impossible to use advanced technology to explain what appears to ...

Clarke's Third Law - what does it say?

Citations of Clarke's Third Law abound lately on this board. What does it say? What are its limitations? Clarke's Third Law says "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." This law does not say there is no magic; only that advanced technology is an alternative ...

No, any benefits the continuity would be outweighed by inaccessibility to new readers and the editorial limitations.
