hesoslim asked:

Why the dodgy language? Marvel has strategic mandates based around the characters to which Disney/ABC/ESPN/Mickey/Whatever-Name-They-Want-To-Use-On-A-Tuesday-Night has the movie-rights and that's the end of it. All pretense otherwise is entirely inane. Example: Ant-Man movie? Need Ant-Man book! That's how decisions are made at Marvel now and most people know this. No Disney movie = less support for that property. What's the big idea behind not just saying this straight up? It's not a secret.

You’re one of what Peter David used to refer to as “so-called experts”, people who believe that they have an understanding of the business and what motivates certain decisions, but who really don’t—and yet cannot in any way be dissuaded from the opinions they hold.

You might as well be asking me how Santa Claus delivers all those presents on Christmas eve, and any answer I give you isn’t going to shake your belief in Santa. So we’re at an impasse here.

I am shocked - SHOCKED!! - that Marvel would want to have a book out on the stands about a character being featured in the movies.

How *dare* they attempt to have synergy?!

Next you’re going to tell me they’ve actually been doing this for over 15 years, and tried putting out Blade comics when there were Blade movies!!

DAMN YOU DISNEY, for affecting things a decade before you even bought the company!!

something that exists in the city I'm moving to:

I am obsessed with this park that combines all midcentury dangerous playground elements into one awful whole. witness this steep metal slide descending from the top of a jungle gym into a concrete pit

if you fall off the jungle gym, you too will be doomed to the pit

there's very little opportunity to get out, too. the only handholds are the ones on the left. Sendai gets a lot of rain, almost as much as Vancouver, so imagine being mangled from sliding into concrete and having to climb a sheer, slippery slope to freedom. I think I would just make a home down there and give up on life
