Fores Hills is pretty suburban. It's not technically the suburbs because it is inside of Queens. But it is more suburban than parts of Long Island. It's a well-off residential neighborhood with...

Kill the Carrier is just tag with tackling. Someone carries a ball. Everyone else tries to tackle them and get the ball away. Rinse and repeat.

Asses Up actually has a Wikipedia entry. :D

The actual "mean" games were Kill the Carrier and Asses Up.

And . . . you know . . . we did play those. But that was on our own time.

Ok, that's hilarious. :D

I know.

But that also was an origin where Lex and Superboy were friends before the accident. In fact, the accident occurred when Lex was trying to formulate an immunity to kryptonite for Superboy.

While Venom pre-dates the 90s, he's endemic of all the edgelord excesses of the 90s. And Carnage is just XTRA SUPER EDGEY boy.

The Covid vaccine? /s

I've come to accept Venom by virtue of my hating the other symbiotes so much more.

Put him in Riker's. He'll apologize and comply in ten seconds.

People weren't upset so much that Ben was replacing Peter as they were that the Spider-Man they'd been reading about for 20 years wasn't the "real" Spider-Man,

The only way to possibly hurt someone with those balls is to hit them in the head. And headhunting meant you were out.



I mostly remember just figuring things out for myself. (I did...

Why do movies and TV depict dodgeball as this hellish game disliked by every kid except the sadistic bullies?

Everyone loved dodgeball when I was a kid. Kids would get excited in elementary...

I believe they refer to it as "The Redneck Riot".

But don't quote me on that.

The "true" Marvel kick-off is Howard the Duck. :p

While it's possible it was mendacious, it probably was just a mistake. Every time Georgia comes up in the news, there are a number of Americans who learn there is a country called Georgia for the...

Carlie is a good character. And I believe should would have found broader acceptance among readers if she had been introduced in a separate iteration of the story.

He should constantly speak in internet memes.

No Razorback? :(

That would take a Constitutional amendment.

You couldn't get 2/3 of both houses of congress and 3/4 of state legislatures to agree on the color of the sky right now.

I think he introduced ambiguity into Teresa's status as a way to allow readers to have their preference in their heads and/or give future writers more freedom to work with the character.

Yeah, Felicia works great as a part of Peter's story. An ex that maintains a friendship. Marvel can always do more stuff like the Symbiote stories they've done recently if they want to revisit...

Played a bit of this. It's @#$%ing hard. :D

Good though.

What's in the pants!

Yeah, generally this is what I try to keep in mind. Also, it's not that long ago that students went through school without the panopticon of social media making a permanent record of every tiny...

I doubt more than a rounding error have been radicalized into antisemitism. What antisemitism is showing up is from people who were always antisemitic, and now have license to vent those feelings.
