I have a love-hate masochistic relationship with this show. I hate it. But I keep watching it mostly to find more reasons to hate it.
And there are some bright spots, as DQ said.

I could say I am cautiously optimistic.
I watched this show first some five-six years ago after growing up on Star Trek and Stargate SG-1.
It hit differently.
There was this element of realpolitic and real people. It captured my attention really well.
It holds a special place in my heart. I just hope they give it justice. Cause it deserves it.

Sovereign Court

My favorite take from this episode is that Zola is basically confirmed to still be "alive" in the MCU.
Clever of you Marvel Studios, clever.
Hoping to see him in a feature film sometime.
Or at least a show.
I thought for a moment they might use him in Captain America 4, but that would be a disservice to Sam, having to clean up Steve's crap. He should get his own villains and his own stories.

Well, celestials typically have DR/evil, so presumably evil outsiders are basically the only ones able to digest them fine.

This. The OP wants to eat a Solar, which has DR 15/epic and evil. That'll make it pretty chewy. Unless you polymorph into something with a pretty solid bite attack, you're going to be swallowing it whole.

It's also going to take a while in the oven, with Resist Fire 10.

OMG can't wait to see his facial expression when I ask him if he can chew trough that.

Sovereign Court

AFAIK Pathfinder Society rules say that eating the flesh of intelligent creatures is cannibalism. Which is an evil act.
I wonder what should happen to a person who actually consumes part of a Solar's soul.

Don't outsiders killed outside of their home plane just dissipate?

Yes when they are summoned. Not when they are called.

However the planar conditions currently in the world (the party is trying to rectify that) are such that planes are interwoven.

Sovereign Court

So anyway we're playing an evil campaign and planar conditions are such that outsiders who get killed stay dead.
So anyway, we killed a Solar the other day, and one of our guys want's to cook up some of it's meat and eat it.

Which got me thinking.

What would happen to you if you ate concentrated law an good in the form of meat?
Or if you ate fiend flesh for that matter?

Are there any rules that could be used for this issue?

I know that eating flesh of intelligent creatures is an evil act.

Sovereign Court

There will be X-Men in the MCU it has already been announced.

Sovereign Court

Watch The Lighthouse Pattison is a very good actor. He just has the Twilight stigma folowing him around.

Sovereign Court

Basically, whenever someone jumps back in time, he jumps to a different timeline than this one, one that started later than our original timeline, and thus is in a different period thant our original timeline (OOT further in the text). So when Tony, Cap and Scott jumped back to 2012, they didn't jump back in time to their 2012 but to a different universe where it was 2012. And afterwards when Tony and Steve jumped to 1979, they jumped to yet another universe where it was 1979 at that time. Then, using the space-time GPS that Tony designed, they returned to their point of origin, or to OOT as it were.

What Steve did is the same, he jumped to an alternate universe where it was 1945, lived out a long and happy life with Peggy and jumped back to OOT after she passed away and nothing connected him with it anymore.

‘The Falcon And The Winter Soldier’ Will Address The Reaction To A Black Captain America

Interesting.

From a personal point of view, I never had a problem with it in the comics (although I wasn't collecting much Marvel at the time). It made sense to me, since Sam (as a character) had been around since before I was born, and had been considered Cap's long time friend and partner.

In the MCU, however, I do have a problem with it, but only in how they go about doing it. I thought Steve going to the past and staying there was incredibly poorly written and stupid. It would have made more sense had he let Peggy live the happy life she had, while retiring to a nice cabin in the woods with Sharon, thereby avoiding further disruptions to the space/time continuum.

He lived out his life in a different timeline and returned to this one to give Sam the shield. No disruptions.

Unfortunately Feige seems to dislike the TV franchises so will never, ever take something from them for the movies. Plus, as we just learned, the next Spiderman movie may very well be completely Shield, Skrull and Avengers-free.

To be brutally honest, if Sony and Disney don't come back together, the next Spiderman will probably be animated and/or a complete reboot again, and crossover with Venom on top.

He doesn't dislike them, tv franchises are under Ike Perlmutter's control and Feige wants nothing to do with Perlmutter and won't permit him to have a say in anything.

Cap definitely would be a paladin, one that would use his powers to inspire, give hope and he'd be an awesome leader.
Supes, is simply lawful good. A truly good man. Which is an amazing thing and something that people of the DC universe should be eternally grateful for.
Cyclops is lawful neutral, leaning to good. He wants to be a hero and do good, but he is too boorish and practical to be a paladin.

Sovereign Court

In what universe is Cyclops a paladin?

a) dwarves still move 20

Sorry, I was unable to find any mention of this anywhere.
Is there any explanation why halflings and gnomes can move as fast as humans, or why are humans slower than elves? I've been trying to wrap my head around those numbers for several days now.

Episode 2. That random thug who is way braver then I'll ever be. He saw his friend get blasted 10 feet into a car by a beam of light and thought it was a good idea to attack the person doing the blasting.

I think he's just stupid.

Sovereign Court

This is awesome

That final scene was a punch to the gut of a season cliffhanger.

Also, Karl Urban continues being an International Treasure. His manic Billy Butcher was definitely a highlight.

Oh yes, that left me with my mouth hanging open. I mean I anticipated something like that, but still.

Props to the guy who does Homelander.

Ah, you've played some LOST PATROL then?

Oh yes

Huh? Are you sure? I didn't think that was the Movie cannon I thought they just avoided talking about it because it had to do with mutants.

Yep, Strucker empowers her and Pietro with the mind stone. Check out the after credits scene of The Winter Soldier, Age of Ultron and explanation Vision gives to the team in Infinity War about why she can destroy the mind stone in his head.

Sovereign Court

MCU wanda isn't a magic user, she's powered by an infinity stone. Although,

Spoiler:
maybe now that the mind stone is gone and the other one has been returned to its timeline
, she will have to learn to use magic.

I thought small scale was a pun about the fact that it's based on a minis game. :)

Nope, the point is that everything in WH40K happens on a such massive scale that you would need an enormous budget to make it work.

Eisenhorn, and to an extent Ciaphas Cain are less "big" so to speak. They're manageable.

Sovereign Court

Never cared for mods really, some quality of life ones were useful, but that's pretty much it.

Sovereign Court

Looks cool. The final sequence bought me.

Sovereign Court

Well that really has nothing to do with a new edition as far as I can see.

I never played PFS, and I just follow the general changes in Golarion lore. Personal stuff is, personal.

Sovereign Court

I already pre-ordered it. From GOG. Cause that way devs get 100% of the money.

Sovereign Court

I'm seeing modders removing this restriction almost immediately

I mean I don't get why would one want to kill kids in a video game.

Sovereign Court

Where's Mushu?

Sovereign Court

DB?

Sovereign Court

Ariel has been cast

She is supposed to represent the red sea, i assume that all Triton's daughters will represent the ethnicity around their respective seas as well.

Sovereign Court

Ciri kinda sorta looks good too. Yen is a travesty.

Sovereign Court

Is this a U.S. only re-release because i'd LOVE to see the deleted stuff in cinemas. Also I could take a friend who was otherwise disposed to the movies.

Sovereign Court

Rosamund pike can do the icey lady very well

Sovereign Court

Ah I love how people actually believe this was an unintentional leak

Sovereign Court

I thouroughly enjoyed the first episode I must say. And I love the use of practical effects wherever possible. These people have a love for what they are doing and it shows.

Sovereign Court

Well he's in charge...

Sovereign Court

I don't think that Agents of SHIELD is in the MCU. Because AFAIK Feige hates the show. And doesn't want to connect it with the larger continuity.

Sovereign Court

Ok, very interesting.

Sovereign Court

Ok that sounds promising.

Sovereign Court

And then set a record that will be very difficult to break.

The ringing sound at the end of credits is an omage to Iron Man and him making his first armor. It's not announcing anything as this movie is the end. That is why there are no post credit scenes. The Russos said so.
