TXC2: !card excelsior
LRRbot: Can't find any card by that name
otakon17: Shame that
charcharmunr: You can't do both on one creature anyway.
charcharmunr: When you double the Pet Avengers' P/T are they just adding more pets?
hyalopterous: No, they just get bigger
otakon17: OKAY

otakon17: what is that called
otakon17: the one that's always used for insects in movies and games

Gaz_L: He was Venom for a while
Pywodwagon: he was venom and is anti-venom
Vinewood_OG: Agent Venom?
charcharmunr: He did impersonate Spider-Man in a 60s comic, according to wiki diving.
Desruprot: ooh we have the thing that is of mind and stone
hyalopterous: Yeah, Agent Venom is Flash
TXC2: I was gonna make a joke about him being venom :p
hyalopterous: After he lost his legs in Afghanistan
TXC2: comics are weird strikes yet again
charcharmunr: And there's a "What If" sort of thing for "Peter didn't get bitten, Flash did, but Flash became a criminal and Peter used tech to beat him up".
Gaz_L: what does harnessing the stone do again?
ElderclericTheRatmaster: @charcharmunr he was in what if. not in a comic tough
charcharmunr: @ElderclericTheRatmaster I mean What Ifs are comics.
Jethrain: You can eat the food can't you?
Cyberegg: you can eat, if it's glowing you can use it

Cyberegg: If the object glows you can use it
ElderclericTheRatmaster: @charcharmunr I"m surprised flash isnt one in the spiderverse. seem like a missed oppurtunity.
charcharmunr: @ElderclericTheRatmaster I mean nothing saying one of the random Spider-Men in the second movie isn't him.
ElderclericTheRatmaster: fair
TXC2: I suspect the other spidermen shun the flash tompson spiderman
Gaz_L: i'm so sad Midnight Suns did badly and we're never getting a sequel where we can hang out with She-Hulk and Black Panther at Avengers Tower
Mai_Andra: If you pick up a Hulk card and wave it around near the windows, will they break?
charcharmunr: @TXC2 Well, I did a check and there's two What If comics for him being Spider-Man. One where he's evil as "the Spider", the other where he's good because he accidentally killed Crusher Hogan. He shows up in some Spider-Verse comics too.
TXC2: charcharmunr huh, ok then
charcharmunr: @Gaz_L I'm sad Midnight Suns didn't let romancing exist because even the devs were like "Yeah we kinda planned it" and then Marvel said no.
TXC2: Marvel knew that everyone would just try to romance Venom Kappa
charcharmunr: @TXC2 Actually Magik was in the game and that was around the start of "everybody is down horrendous for Magik" as a cultural thing.
TXC2: charcharmunr ah good point
Gaz_L: plus it was Laura Bailey essentially doing the Jester voice for Magik
TehAmelie: @charcharmunr that's the essence of Marvel, at it were: everyone's sexy but no one lrrEFF

kumatsu: He shall always be my Arena pet
charcharmunr: @TehAmelie Apart from Peter and MJ in that brief period in like the 90s when it was very explicit they were a VERY happy couple.
TehAmelie: of course, that was the relationship that needed Satan and time travel to make it not happen
WrightJustice: wizards employee!
awwwwwwwsnap: Hello Loading ready run! Thanks for the game! Great life gain synergie
Cyberegg: results orientated thinking
laff_o_tron: @TehAmelie oh right the storyline that killed any progression in comics
Jethrain: the tonberry mirror match
awwwwwwwsnap: I guess that was my, master plan moehahaha
charcharmunr: @TehAmelie The one that's somehow still not been undone. Marvel editorial is fascinatingly awful with that in particular.
TXC2: I'd say Mr Fantastic and the invisible woman fuck, but that may also have only happened exactly once :p
Gaz_L: perhaps evil Moogle?
charcharmunr: @TXC2 They have two kids, so at least twice.
TXC2: charcharmunr oh two now is it?
charcharmunr: @TXC2 It's been two for a while. Franklin was first, then Valeria was relatively later.
TXC2: charcharmunr I only knew about Franklin
Micalovits: Dobule block to kill ti yes
laff_o_tron: the whole Valeria plot is kinda awesome
Gaz_L: there was a really cute short in I think one of the Pride specials a couple of years ago with a trans fangirl cosplaying She-Hulk and Titania mistakes her for the real thing but then they bond after the mix-up gets sorted out
charcharmunr: There was a whole arc with Valeria where... Uh... Her future self showed up before she was born to do stuff, and Valeria herself was a troubled birth and nobody could seem to make it work out. Eventually Reed turns to Doom, who fixes it, if only to rub it in Reed's face that he could.
TehAmelie: Titani has come a long way since her debut as a jackass
TXC2: charcharmunr I remember that season of Charmed Kappa
charcharmunr: @TehAmelie There's a reason her and her husband become good guys half the time.
Jethrain: the 5/5 for 3 with ward seems... kinda pushed, even with the extra cost
TXC2: yeap, and it won't do a damn thing in standard :p
tdapenguin: @Gaz_L That sounds great!
Joecool190: invasion is busted
ekplayscards: hey gamerssss
TXC2: hello ekplayscards welcome
charcharmunr: It wouldn't be Namor if he wasn't perpetually shirtless at the least.
hyalopterous: Namor has always dressed scanty
ekplayscards: hiiii hope you two and chat have been well!
TXC2: and he was drawn that way in the 1930s
charcharmunr: Because she's burning herself out to dig deep?
ferro_man: I'm planning on building Namor for cEDH with all the countersplls
Gaz_L: i feel like Jessica should have conditional flying
Jethrain: the card is named hawkeye's bow, but the art screams "this dog's gonna eat some pizza"
charcharmunr: It's kind of weird to see a Jessica that has nothing to do with any of her superpowers.
hyalopterous: mostly better regrowth
EvilBadman: Giant Growth is a serviceable 23rd
ladyjessica: 3 mana for 2 damage doesn’t seem great. 4 for 3 also doesn’t seem great
charcharmunr: @ladyjessica It mostly synergises really nicely with Kate-Hawkeye.
EvilBadman: Villians too (red hulk)
ladyjessica: ah

SolarBlitz1: Fblthp on the side of the lobby looks like he really wants to ask where the exit is but doesnt want to interrupt
charcharmunr: Abom just squeezing in like an old pair of jeans that don't fit anymore.
Gekyouryuu: ignore the art, Cori, it's a hulkbuster suit, clearly Kappa
charcharmunr: Usually a good idea in comics. Abom's often a problem.
charcharmunr: There is, it makes the equipped creature a 9/9 with flying.
charcharmunr: !card Hulkbuster
LRRbot: Hulkbuster Armor [4] | Legendary Artifact — Equipment | Equipped creature has base power and toughness 9/9 and has flying. / Equip Hero {3} / Equip {6}
hyalopterous: Hulkbusters never work though
Gekyouryuu: also, a joke i made at the ppr: Teamwork = Sidekicker
charcharmunr: It's in the Avengers precon I think.
charcharmunr: @Gekyouryuu And yet Rick Jones sucks at paying Teamwork costs due to 0 power.
ladyjessica: still a one for one
hyalopterous: Yeah, Rick Jones should be good for teamwork
charcharmunr: @hyalopterous Honestly I would've liked to see something like "If Rick is tapped, treat his power as 3 greater", if that works for Crew and Teamwork and whatnot. Feels appropriate.
Mangledpixel: mong some other kill
TXC2: stupid sexy killmonger
TXC2: see, it's not a James curse, it's a LRR curse
FauksStarling: Especially with a stun counter involved. It should definitely be next turn.
charcharmunr: @FauksStarling Definitely feels like a flavour-first design.
ladyjessica: because of how teamwork and crew are costs it would have to be a static ability noting the abilities.
ladyjessica: the whole “crews as 2 higher”
ladyjessica: this creature’s power is considered two higher when paying costs?
ferro_man: so likee pilot tokns?
charcharmunr: @ladyjessica Wonder if you could phrase it as "as long as it's not the combat phase, treat this creature's power as though it were X greater" but that feels clunky.
ladyjessica: “this creatures power is considered x greater for teamwork costs”
ladyjessica: but that would also be a bit clunky
ladyjessica: like pilots yeah

charcharmunr: Look, he's the best there is at what he does, and what he does isn't very nice.
Chenderle: I can't believe Wolverine murdered Moon Girl
TXC2: devil dinosaur had it coming, and if moon girl gets in the way, that's her fault Kappa
Strebenherz: I'd like to imagine they didn't actually fight, wolverine just picked her up and tossed her off the battlefield
CrypticKablam: yeah, let’s go with that
Strebenherz: *yeet*
charcharmunr: "Wolverine, just stab Red Hulk a bit for us."
hyalopterous: I mean Logan is used to fighting hulks, that's how he got his start
Gekyouryuu: "why do i have to stab him? you want him mad, just tell him his daughter called."
charcharmunr: Given current comic stuff I think Red Hulk probably needs to be stabbed.
charcharmunr: (I think he's currently taking over Latveria because American Exceptionalism or something I haven't kept up too closely.)
Strebenherz: Gross
DAC169: next turn, or main phase 2?
DAC169: wait, mana

You may cast a spell from among them with mana value less than or equal to the greatest power among attacking creatures you control without paying its mana cost. Put the rest on the bottom of your library in a random order.
raulghoulia: I keep hearing Magilla Gorilla
TXC2: good grief
Gekyouryuu: @raulghoulia same. more specifically i hear the song Cartoon Network made up in the 90s/early 00s and would play during commercials
charcharmunr: Wait Uncommon Hulk has Reach? Why?
hyalopterous: Draw them out
hyalopterous: ?
Jethrain: it'd take a long time to draw them out...
MrPipboy3000: I mean, your Red Hulk did strike a killing blow, so you won a little ...
charcharmunr: I think it's just not very good.
CrypticKablam: Could be good as a late game card to try and draw out of a stalemate. But most of the time, doesn’t seem too good.

TXC2: struker is in the first 5 mins of Age of Ultron
EvilBadman: above him though
EvilBadman: yeah
charcharmunr: Plans within plans...
TXC2: plans within plans would track with Kang
charcharmunr: @TXC2 And then a stretchy smart boy outsmarts him or something.
SolarBlitz1: Frozen in ice all good
TXC2: charcharmunr exactly
SolarBlitz1: And when they target him you shoot their stuff
XavusGaming: such a funny card
charcharmunr: Yeah, he redirects kinetic energy and gets faster, it's a very neat flavour.
XavusGaming: Good? Meh. But funny
TXC2: remember when Speedball was green enchantment? :p
charcharmunr: And then he was the sole survivor of the Stamford Incident, which, y'know, let's not talk about that.
EvilBadman: at least 1 freeze seems real good tbh
SolarBlitz1: Evils Thrall with villains is steal for 2 turns
TXC2: the woman on Stark executive looks more like an actress from the boys
EvilBadman: Cori, yes
SolarBlitz1: Draw with possible ramp on Herbie is nice
DAC169: do you need Black Widow? only card that has to have white in your deck
TXC2: who is a superhero in mtg? Gideon?

TehAmelie: and you know he'd do the same
BrowneePointz: that was at tehamelie
BrowneePointz: well, he’s great until his adult self gaslights himself into becoming himself
BrowneePointz: in a crazy cool looking panel sequence
TehAmelie: the sagas have no surviving tales of young Loki. maybe Marvel is doing an important cultural service there
BrowneePointz: Glad Robot!
TehAmelie: he just shows up as an adult, having scammed his way into a blood bond with Odin and starts wrecking everybody's shiz

DrLigmaPhD: If Tony Stark becomes a Ghost Rider is he Boney Stark?
TehAmelie: maybe everyone thinks HERBIE is cannon fodder until they have one of their own
TehAmelie: chat: Zabu or Battlecat?
charcharmunr: @TehAmelie Kid Loki technically WAS adult Loki, but he died and reincarnated as part of a plan by his... Future older self to do some evil shit but Kid Loki was like "Nah I like being a story-teller instead of a liar".
charcharmunr: Comics are silly.
TehAmelie: ha
TehAmelie: TBH superhero comics is maybe the closest thing we have today to a habitual drunk bard trudging into town and makin up some god stories
Mangledpixel: not it
TehAmelie: u ok Mang?
TehAmelie: now i'm picturing people calling Mangledpixel "Mang" for a nickname and i don not think they like it

BrowneePointz: GET EM
charcharmunr: Shout out to the Skrull that's a copy of Mar-Vell named Khn'nr.
TXC2: yes, Super Skrull is the Gary oldman of skurlls
charcharmunr: I assume pronounced "Connor" but honestly who knows.
TehAmelie: strike one 1/1 down and an 2/2 shall take its place
BrowneePointz: I forgot Man-Thing predates Swamp Thing by 2 months
TehAmelie: or possibly a 2/1
charcharmunr: @BrowneePointz Yep. And Man-Thing even cameos in Swamp Thing comics now and then. Unnamed, but still.
BrowneePointz: I can’t believe Man-Thing showed up in the MCU before Blade
BrowneePointz: or doom
BrowneePointz: or Black Cat
charcharmunr: Werewolf By Night showed up in the MCU before Blade.
TehAmelie: Alan Moore was involved in both Man-Thing and Swamp Thing i think. sort of a one track mind just then
BrowneePointz: look Werewolf by Night was obviously stealth getting Elsa Bloodstone into the mcu
charcharmunr: @BrowneePointz Shame she then promptly did nothing.
BrowneePointz: well Swamp Thing was a cheeky collab with Len Wein iirc
TXC2: gotta keep in mind that Marvel is from the 1930s, lot of weird stuff from the early days
charcharmunr: Just like how they have Black Knight in through Eternals, except he's just Dane and he never has the sword at any point except post-credits.
BrowneePointz: @txc2 both from 1971 baybeee
Mangledpixel: AOL Instant Messenger labs
charcharmunr: @TehAmelie I don't think Moore got too involved with Man-Thing, that was more Gerber.
BrowneePointz: I’d heard decent things about the Patton Oswald MODOK show with folks excited to see how they’d refine it
charcharmunr: It's a shame MODOK just looks... Like that in the MCU.
dolphgrim: Don't google modokking. 🫣
Gekyouryuu: "I was trying to draft a villain deck, but I had no idea what I was doing, so it ended up pretty A.I.M.-less." lrrBEEJ
TehAmelie: i can extremely picture Patton Oswald as a flying screaming baby head
BrowneePointz: gotta say, leaving out Red Skull(for obvious reasons) but including Baron Strucker is DEEPLY funny
dolphgrim: 😋☺️
BrowneePointz: god Quantumania is a love letter to Kirby and Ditko in a lot of visuals
Gekyouryuu: speaking of Patton Oswalt voicing in cartoons, I LOVE that the Among Us cartoon has gifted us "Patton Oswalt is White"
BrowneePointz: and then MODOK looked like THAT
MrPipboy3000: @BrowneePointz Love letter? Felt like a Dear John letter ...
CrypticKablam: moon girl! lrrSHINE
TehAmelie: oh yes, i have to find a way to watch the Among Us show
munocard: Fin Fang Foom seems really easy to make huge
TXC2: I suspect that MODOK is just hard to do in live action
charcharmunr: @TXC2 Yeah, it's either just an awkward CGI monster or a weirdly-blown-up real face.
Gekyouryuu: M.O.D.O.K. = Mental Organism Doable Only in Kartoons
charcharmunr: Always kind of jarring to remember Cap was not a founding Avenger.
BrowneePointz: @txc2 corridor crew have done a big deep dive episode on it. it’s more the lack of depth of his face, and lack of texture was issues. no subsurface scattering and not great ambient occlusion
BrowneePointz: it’s a whole thing
Gekyouryuu: I've seen people brew combos for Zemo where they pitch stuff like Phyrexian Obliterator and Zodiark

charcharmunr: Does Bobbi even exist in the MCU?
BrowneePointz: yes
BrowneePointz: agents of shield
BrowneePointz: she got written out cuz she was gonna get a spinoff show
SolarBlitz1: The visions great
charcharmunr: @BrowneePointz Oh, right, she was in that and then sort of written out- Yeah.
BrowneePointz: and then that show got canceled
TXC2: charcharmunr she was in agents of SHIELD, then they were going to give her her own show, then they canceld it
Dr_fragenstien: oooh speedball sounds good for what you're doing
Mangledpixel: RIP
ThanhtTheBoss: Still can't believe the spinoff got canceled. Such a bummer
charcharmunr: @TXC2 Man, poor Bobbi.
dolphgrim: Rip, Cori. 😭
SolarBlitz1: Could white black splash, through the treasure and land?
charcharmunr: o7 for Cori's knee.
TXC2: charcharmunr yeap, she was kind of the best thing in the show at the time
TehAmelie: TIL wizards have ruled you can't cheat first strike to get double strike by removing it in between first strike and regular damage phases. such precision.
BrowneePointz: yep. was the other mega badass besides Ming na Wen’s Agent May, her and Hunter got a spinoff, they wrote them out of AoS, then their show got canceled after they wrote them out
BrowneePointz: Speedball works for their spells too
BrowneePointz: he’s almost impossible to remove
charcharmunr: @BrowneePointz I mean they'll just never target Speedball then.
charcharmunr: Speedball does have pseudo-Hexproof though yeah.
TehAmelie: that's an accurate summary of Abomination as a character. "he big"
SolarBlitz1: Artifact creatures, but he feels awkward
munocard: He's still a dragon
Seventy111: If you have pump spells that target your artifact creatures, that's cool
charcharmunr: @TehAmelie I like seeing Emil show up because it's just "Hey everybody, it's Emil again. He's still just kind of a big asshole."
MrPipboy3000: Vision is an artifact ...
TehAmelie: "kind of like Hulk, but not as cool"
TXC2: ah ha, yo-yo that was the character I was thinking of
charcharmunr: To the point that for a long-ass time Abom was just sort of a jobber. Immortal Hulk made him a bit bigger of a deal, but he was sort of overshadowed even within that by Bruce's dad.
munocard: I think I like the dragon over spider-woman
TehAmelie: my birth name was Emil but i had no idea that's Abomination's street name. that's how obscure he is
BrowneePointz: he also blocks everything g
charcharmunr: @TehAmelie Emil Blonsky is his name, yeah. He's weirdly one of Hulk's big archenemies but simultaneously he's just kind of there.
BrowneePointz: 3/5 big booty
TehAmelie: just sort of the guy you send to get Hulk starting to get mad
BrowneePointz: ye season 1?
charcharmunr: Yeah, if anybody's a proper 'archenemy' to Hulk these days it's probably Leader.
charcharmunr: Or... I guess Hulk himself.
BrowneePointz: the first 3 seasons of AoS were pretty good
BrowneePointz: and then it got…weird
charcharmunr: I've heard decent things about AoS as a show but I've also heard it went on longer than it should have.
raulghoulia: I believe Thunderbolt Ross is his arch enemy
TehAmelie: Hulk was always best when his only enemy is himself
TXC2: IMO agents got better after they stopped caring about having to follow the movies
charcharmunr: @raulghoulia It's sort of a grab-bag between him and Leader, depends who's writing.
BrowneePointz: first two seasons were very good, season 3 was good, and then it….started nosediving fast @charcharmunr
Gekyouryuu: @charcharmunr I fell off before the end, and it had shaky bits, but it was pretty decent
Seventy111: OK J Jonah Jamison
charcharmunr: The one time Herc has beaten Thor in a fight.
BrowneePointz: also Hercules beating up Thor is flavorful
TXC2: the first 3 seasons are fairly good thriller show, the back 3 are comic nonsense of the highest order
BrowneePointz: if I remember Herc and Thor is usually a stalemate
Bruceski: @charcharmunr eh... "longer than it should have" depends on how interested you are in it. It definitely ran out of the good plot but you still got to see Ming-Na Wen kicking ass.
BrowneePointz: and Thor has flat out stated Herc is stronger and a better fighter
TehAmelie: now it's a battle of perspectives. who has the better vision?
charcharmunr: @BrowneePointz Yeah, it's more Herc is usually too unmotivated to really tangle with Thor. Honestly Herc being only a 3/3 feels weak for him but it's whatever.
charcharmunr: -2
MrPipboy3000: Is there an achiement for increasing Visions power by 18 and toughness by 15?
Wolfstrike_NL: You know, that was an okay pun
TehAmelie: there should be. achieve normal vision.
jacey0002: At least it's Legendary, so you can't end up with double Vision.
Bruceski: Clearly the Magic card design is the definitive power rankings and settles every debate on the subject
ArcOfTheConclave: double strinke?
BrowneePointz: @bruceski it’s just very funny they have a long history of being very evenly matched
TehAmelie: ha but it would be funny if Hercules had 100 power. his power to lift 100 tons is the most famous thing about him
charcharmunr: @Bruceski They'll give Eternity a card and he'll just be like a 4/6 or something.
BrowneePointz: also, Herc in Marvel is like Thor for the Gays(he’s openly queer)
charcharmunr: @BrowneePointz Oh yeah explicitly a bi mess.
TXC2: impiling that 1 power creatures can lift 1 ton
BrowneePointz: speaking of queer rep
BrowneePointz: D-Man!
charcharmunr: @BrowneePointz Oh yeah, D-Man, who lives with his boyfriend and runs a support group for trans superpowered youths. Good on him.
BrowneePointz: this set might actually be the Queerest set by volume ever released
TXC2: I feel like a number of Greek heroes were gay, and then the Romans took that part of them out
charcharmunr: @BrowneePointz Well they have all the main Young Avengers in and I think all of them except Kate are somewhere on the LGBT line-up.
Gekyouryuu: it's about sending a message
Bruceski: @BrowneePointz Oh absolutely. It's in the same space as looking at who in Magic lore is considered "worthy", or how if Sigarda hands it to Doom the hammer doesn't care.
BrowneePointz: hehehehe
Wolfstrike_NL: Nice
BrowneePointz: 6/9
charcharmunr: I still find the Hero token funny because, like, it's meant to be a non-specific silhouette but I'm sure there's a Marvel character whose power lets them look like that.
thedepthandbreadthofseth: @charcharmunr "LGBT line-up" makes it sound like a comedy festival. or a batting order.
thedepthandbreadthofseth: and hitting leadoff, #7 - lesbians!
BrowneePointz: fin fang foom is about to meet his ding dang doom
charcharmunr: @thedepthandbreadthofseth Look that's probably just The Mary Janes from Spider-Gwen.
TXC2: thedepthandbreadthofseth pinch hitting for Questioning it's...ACE!
thedepthandbreadthofseth: @TXC2 surely if they only come to bat as a pinch hitter, it should be demi. KappaPride
TehAmelie: is it a cinematic universe?
charcharmunr: What If... The opponent biffed it?
Robot_Bones: A universe beyond this one
TXC2: thedepthandbreadthofseth you're right that's better
StriderStone: is there a mod that I can DM about a chat thing in here?
BrowneePointz: deck is preparing for James
TXC2: !discord
LRRbot: LRR has an official Discord server! And you don't even need to be subbed or anything! You can join here: https://discord.gg/lrr
StriderStone: yeah I know some mods do different things
BrowneePointz: whiffing on those searches hurt
TehAmelie: sergeModLove by the way our mods are great
TXC2: I can receive DMs, I can not respond to them
Mangledpixel: Sir Landalot
StriderStone: that's fine
Seventy111: I think Bonnie Tyler has a song about that
BrowneePointz: that civil war saga would’ve killed them so that whiff really hurt
BrowneePointz: ye weird timing so they can make mana
TXC2: Hugh egg, Privet eye
BrowneePointz: I hope Vision Quest ends up a good show. Paul Bettany getting a whole series sounds like a good time
TehAmelie: there's always way too many moleoids
TXC2: in that there are any number of moleoids ?
TehAmelie: yep. any number of them and you know you're gonna need AOE
BrowneePointz: pocket ghost pepper powder
dolphgrim: Correct answer, Kathleen
BrowneePointz: mace would be too simple
BrowneePointz: I wanna pocket sand a hero with ground spicy ass peppers
BrowneePointz: (cuz im wearing eye pro)
TXC2: pretty sure that's just mace BrowneePointz :p
TehAmelie: i actually bought a waist pouch yesterday, for my wallet, phone and multitool. going to have to return it for one that fits around my waist though
TXC2: StriderStone no worries lrrHEART
jessicatheblack: gdi Corey... you got me good with that
charcharmunr: When isn't Kathleen a villain?
Seventy111: Maybe not *that* long
Voidhawk42: Kathleen has Villain Pride
jessicatheblack: my roomate heard me laugh super loud
BrowneePointz: I don’t think Kathleen IS a villain
ContingentCat: lrrDARK lrrDARK
LRRbot: If you see something funny or particularly noteworthy, make a Clip of it! Your clip could appear in a fortnightly video or be seen at https://www.twitch.tv/loadingreadyrun/clips (Named clips with no autocaptions are preferred but not required!)
Earthenone: katheen was breifly not a villan, she even saved the world for a while there :P
Seventy111: Kathleen is an antihero I think
Aarek: Kathleen is more an anti-hero
BrowneePointz: Kathleen is like…..if Punisher wasn’t a gun nut douche
IanAllenBird: Kathleen could be a marvel villain, where everyone says she's right except the narrative
TXC2: I dare to presume there was a time when Kathleen wasn't a villain....Preschool purhapse? :p
TehAmelie: can we quote that? Kathleen: "There's always going to be people who see me as a villain." Cori: *snort*
MrPipboy3000: @BrowneePointz So like the PUN-isher ...
BrowneePointz: I was gonna say she’s more like Magneto but Mutants are a racial allegory so that felt tone deaf @ianallenbird
Seventy111: @TXC2 As a parent on preschool age kids, I think it's *more* likely she was a villain at that time
thedepthandbreadthofseth: I think Kathleen could be more of an anti-villain... doing villainous things through heroic means.
charcharmunr: @BrowneePointz They're not specifically racial, more broadly "any persecuted minority", but still fair point.
TXC2: Seventy111 :D
BrowneePointz: Kathleen is just the kind of Hero that doesn’t give a shit about Rules or Nations, if you’re a jackass you’re gonna get it
TehAmelie: no lords or masters, only ball kicks
BrowneePointz: I’d say moon knight but less of an a hole
BrowneePointz: cuz Marc is a BIT of a jerk
charcharmunr: Moon Knight's pretty nice nowadays. He tries, at least.
dolphgrim: 🎶🌈Reading Red Hulk🌈🎶
charcharmunr: Like a defining part of recent Moon Knight stories is how much he hates "Marc Spector" and prefers to just be Moon Knight.
TXC2: dolphgrim I think Beast would do reading rainbow
BrowneePointz: noice. I’ve been behind on his stuff. last of his I read would’ve been around….slapping Thor with Mjolnir using his geokinesis?
TXC2: have we won today?
IanAllenBird: o7
TXC2: thanks for streaming Kathleen and Cori
charcharmunr: @BrowneePointz That was a bit ago. Nowadays he's more back to being just a guy. There was a fun moment where he got into a fight with a guy who turned out to be an Asgardian and got his shit rocked.
Gimbal_Lock: lrrSHINE
ContingentCat: think of it as spreading happiness by giving them wins
MrPipboy3000: gonna need the BIGGEST milkshake
charcharmunr: Bye bye.
ContingentCat: thanks Cori and Kathleen lrrHEART
jessicatheblack: Bye lrrSHINE
JKBalch: Good luck\
TXC2: Hello Graham
WiJohn: Bye hi!
TehAmelie: hey it's Graham
CrypticKablam: hieeee
Desruprot: it's a Graham
charcharmunr: And hello Gray-Ham.
dungeonmasteralek: Bonjour
RayFK: "MIDA need you to break 3 windows, win 1 game, and read a comic book"
MrPipboy3000: @dolphgrim He was defeated by Darkwing Duck
maladroit_moose: the real Stark, the best Stark
ContingentCat: ghost James?
charcharmunr: Nice to see James at his best.
CrypticKablam: hi James
IanAllenBird: james looks different today
TehAmelie: James "Chair" Turner
jessicatheblack: wow... James shoudl grab a bite to eat
Desruprot: Not Present: James
XavusGaming: Did James get a haircut? He looks good
dolphgrim: Hey Graham! James is looking thinner than usual. Might want to shake him a little bit to get the pigment mixed in.
BrowneePointz: @mrpipboy3000 Howard was right there
SolarBlitz1: James in Invisible Woman cosplay
thedepthandbreadthofseth: Is James in the room with us?
TXC2: dolphgrim you won't like him when he ferments
BrowneePointz: Sweet Christmas!
JKBalch: That's just how I like my eggs
dolphgrim: @TXC2 🤢
MrPipboy3000: @BrowneePointz I saw that movie n the theater ... I still haven't forgiven him ....
BrowneePointz: Just saying, we better get Howard the Duck in a Cosmic Marvel set
BrowneePointz: he’s a c list Iron Man villain
charcharmunr: @BrowneePointz He did cameo in a card art at least, so he's likely gonna get something. There's so much Cosmic stuff I'd like to see.
jessicatheblack: *Badum TISH!*
charcharmunr: Mostly I wanna see Darkhawk get a card because Marvel's most enduring D-Lister deserves something.
Dromos_GHG: Iron Man 2
munocard: Iron Man 2
TXC2: Iron man 2
thedepthandbreadthofseth: I think that was 2
XavusGaming: I want my byrd
dolphgrim: I was thinking Mickey Rooney, but different Mickey.
BrowneePointz: honestly Mickey Rourke did a good job in IM2 as him even though IM2 was okay
7gorobei: Tony was the true enemy of IM2
munocard: It's the one with Elon in it.
BrowneePointz: him
MWGNZ: 2 iron 2 man
thedepthandbreadthofseth: chat gets its water from a Well, actually.
Dromos_GHG: "mandarin"
BrowneePointz: It was Whiplash
charcharmunr: The fake Mandarin, yeah.
wontedfive30282: Elon musk
BrowneePointz: Justin Hammer was secondary
XavusGaming: Sam Rockwell as Justin Hammer was also in it
TXC2: him and Sam rockwell are the villains
AugmentingPath: Trevor was the villain of IM3
Robot_Bones: Hammer was also there
ArcOfTheConclave: hammer hires whiplash
Lord_Hosk: Iron man 3 was the real fake mandalorian
munocard: Whiplash and Justin Hammer were the villains.
thedepthandbreadthofseth: Iron Man 3 was Guy what's his name, I thought.
MarkovDescendant: Was so hoping for a badass Agatha Harkness card. Damn you MCU for making her better on screen than on page.
charcharmunr: @MarkovDescendant Agatha in the MCU is basically just a wholly different character admittedly.
thedepthandbreadthofseth: From Momento and Time Machine
Dromos_GHG: IM 2 was Whiplash and Justin hammer. IM 3 was "Mandarin" and Killian (guy Pierce)
TXC2: I think you mean from LA confidential. but ok....
MarkovDescendant: @charcharmunr Exactly. Just flat out love Kathryn Hahn
BrowneePointz: Whiplash takes over Hammer’s Iron Bots during Stark Expo for the climax in that rad action sequence with Warmachine that was storyboarded by Genndy Tartakovsky @loadingreadyrun
Foxmar320: hello G
raulghoulia: having such a good time
thedepthandbreadthofseth: @Dromos_GHG Pierce! TY!
BrowneePointz: and whiplash in the movie was comics whiplash and crimson dynamo slammed together
charcharmunr: @MarkovDescendant Also if Agatha gets a card it'll be in the supposed mystical set or whatever.
charcharmunr: @BrowneePointz MCU seems to do that a lot, take a character, give them a second character's backstory but the first one's name and broad appearance.
munocard: yarp
MarkovDescendant: @charcharmunr I figued we'd get an X-men lead set and probably an intergallactic one. Didn't even think/consider and mystical set.
munocard: lmao
charcharmunr: @MarkovDescendant Given the complete lack of Doctor Strange as a magic-user, I feel a magic set is incredibly likely.
AugmentingPath: oh hey it's that card James didn't get to play
MarkovDescendant: @charcharmunr That totally makes sense.
charcharmunr: And Blade, Ghost Rider, Moon Knight, etc. A lot of magic stuff missing.
BrowneePointz: but yea Mickey Rourke’s appearance during the car race in that sick outfit where it looks like shirtless electric bdsm leather kink gear has got to be top 10 aura farm moments in the MCU
AugmentingPath: oppo forgot how menace works?
SolarBlitz1: There is a black deathtouch trick, with teamwork to give -2/-2 I believe
TXC2: bad evill hulk smash I guess
TXC2: hello James
charcharmunr: If Hulk Smashes, what does Abom do? Crush?
BrowneePointz: Also if we get a Mystics and Monsters set we can get Brother Voodoo
BrowneePointz: and Brother Voodoo is cool
munocard: lmao
charcharmunr: @BrowneePointz I hope a mystical set does a lot more deeper cut stuff and less "Hey remember these MCU movies".
TXC2: wowm Kathleen is gonna be so mad :p
Jethrain: interesting way for them to go out
BrowneePointz: Kathleen lost 11 in a row
CrypticKablam: Is there Galaga on any of those consoles?
BrowneePointz: Graham immediately wins
Wolfstrike_NL: First win of the day \o/
BrowneePointz: nope
MrPipboy3000: Kathleen crawled so Grahm could run
BrowneePointz: stolen value
BrowneePointz: valor even
ContingentCat: They were spreading happiness with all those wins their opponents had
TXC2: Magic 2026 babee!
Jethrain: we also had Krang casting Kang in the previous game
MWGNZ: i love the 'beaten up card back' sleeves
EvilBadman: Who other than Samwise would be worthy enough to lift Mjolnir, you think
MrPipboy3000: I just want a UB for Highlander ... I mean The Gathering is right there!!
BrowneePointz: Frodo?
BoomerAang_Squad: soon we'll be battling with Kirk and Picard
raulghoulia: certainly are a lot of nobs
charcharmunr: @EvilBadman I mean Aragorn has to be?
SolarBlitz1: We have 3 red hulks in the pool
EvilBadman: @charcharmunr Unsure, not /every/ hero is
TXC2: EvilBadman Tom Bomabdil
ThanhtTheBoss: no, draft
ThanhtTheBoss: I think? Wait
SolarBlitz1: Yes sealed. The draft didn't fire
BrowneePointz: I will never not find it funny they left out Red Skull(for good reason) but kept Strucker in
MWGNZ: @BoomerAang_Squad cant wait for picard to stand around watching godzilla getting killed by a haduken
ThanhtTheBoss: Realized I walked away to scan documents. ><
Jethrain: @EvilBadman Doesn't have to be a hero, just can't be a villain
charcharmunr: @BrowneePointz Red Skull and Mandarin are "Yeah I get it" exclusions but it's still a little weird to see them conspicuously absent. Punisher is more bafflingly missing.
BrowneePointz: punisher is also an obvious exclude
flyman347: hullo again
charcharmunr: I dunno, I think Marvel does a lot to keep him still as a prominent character. Mandarin and Red Skull have been sidelined somewhat (Mandarin especially has been dead since 2012).
BoomerAang_Squad: @MWGNZ then Momo swings with Mjolnir ftw
TXC2: hello flyman347 welcome
MWGNZ: @BoomerAang_Squad as he should
hat_hair: Don't worry you can tap Hawkeye for them
BrowneePointz: I thought they’d do the Shang Chi Xu Wenwu version since they mention him in the flavor text for a couple cards
MungoDude watched 10 consecutive streams and sparked a watch streak!
hi James, hi G, hi chat
charcharmunr: @BrowneePointz I mean that's an MCU-only thing right?
SolarBlitz1: Yeah that lets us draw both
BrowneePointz: @charcharmunr they mention the mcu version IN set
charcharmunr: @BrowneePointz Where?
BrowneePointz: alt art ten rings and another card I believe
charcharmunr: @BrowneePointz Eh, the Ten Rings just references Shang-Chi's father, who's... Not Xu Wenwu.
EvilBadman: @Jethrain listen here you little
jessicatheblack: so you say you like "Red Hulk"... but how about..... "Second Red Hulk"!? *wiggle eyebrows*
TriforceDrummer: Only 4, but triple black which is a bit rougher
Jethrain: @EvilBadman huh?
TriforceDrummer: Obv doesn't matter for reanimating it
XavusGaming: There's a surprising amount of reach
EvilBadman: @Jethrain I was being jokey and not talking about in magic ;)
XavusGaming: Which... I guess checks out because of how many superheroes have flying
BrowneePointz: @charcharmunr but it’s referencing who owned the rings being his father which IS the mcu version, which is fine cuz Xu Wenwu is a good first step to rehabing that character
BrowneePointz: he’ll be dead
XavusGaming: 1
BoomerAang_Squad: 0
MilkBreadTB: he will not trigger
Jethrain: none after the trade
XavusGaming: oh 1 total sorry
Cyberegg: hulk needs to survive to trigger
XavusGaming: no second trigger
TXC2: 0, no counters will be on him in the graveyard

LRRbot: lrrSPOT Thanks for subscribing, djalternative! (Today's storm count: 10)
raulghoulia: in pog form
BrowneePointz: Thunderbolt Ross don’t go away
charcharmunr: @BrowneePointz I think the comics sort of retconned a connection between Zheng Zhu (Shang-Chi's father in the comics) and the Ten Rings, and it's more broadly just about them being powerful and potentially corruptive.
BrowneePointz: yes red is Gen Ross
charcharmunr: Yeah, any Gamma mutate is technically unkillable.
raulghoulia: Red Hulk is Han Solo
Gekyouryuu: Red Hulk is Harrison Ford
BrowneePointz: Green Hulk is the most actually Indestructible, the other Gammas are just very very very very durable
djalternative: Depends on what you go buy but the most recent rules is all gamma people are theoretically killable but they resurrect very quickly
charcharmunr: @charcharmunr Though the Ten Rings as a whole are an MCU invention that got backported to the comics, anyway.
BrowneePointz: iirc Red Hulk’s downside is the angrier he gets the hotter he gets, and there’s a point where he can’t offload the extra heat fast enough?
BrowneePointz: someone can check me on that
djalternative: you're correct
Jepardil: @BrowneePointz Yeah, he emits raditation at such levels that he appears on fire
TXC2: like an actual nuclear reactor
charcharmunr: Red Hulk is, I think, also the current villain of the big Marvel event comic.
charcharmunr: He's taken over Latveria after Doom died (it's a whole thing).
BrowneePointz: apologize if I ramble a lot today. I just really like comics. they’re a good medium for storytelling Bront
BrowneePointz: ye he’s the current Big Event big bad
charcharmunr: Yeah, the Foot instead of the Hand.
charcharmunr: And Splinter instead of Stick.
thedepthandbreadthofseth: Oh, no! Hillarious
BrowneePointz: Eastman and Laird loooooooved DD so ye they were a loving homage
ContingentCat: huh TIL
Strebenherz: Thank you for the TMNT info
Kezzig_: can we tap our own hawkeye?
XavusGaming: Hey Graham, TIL, thanks for that trivia
MilkBreadTB: how has basically everything being legendary felt in draft so far btw?
MrPipboy3000: The cannister that hit DD in the head lands in the sewer and mutates the turtles
Strebenherz: yes kathleen
ContingentCat: You were wonderful Kathleen lrrDARK
ThanhtTheBoss: You are being very mature and gracious.
doubleo21: you handled bad draws better than I would have
SolarBlitz1: Kathleen kept her composure considering how many times we were Magic(tm)'d
charcharmunr: Stick's actually had INCREDIBLY few appearances in the comics. Like not even 100.
MilkBreadTB: we could draw a card
MilkBreadTB: the discard isnt a cost
BrowneePointz: ye no intervening if I think
ThanhtTheBoss: Could you have dealt the damage to Red Hulk? I'm guessing no, but I'm curious.
BrowneePointz: says other target
BrowneePointz: to prevent infinite chain
ThanhtTheBoss: Ah, okay, that's too bad. :(

Gekyouryuu: since we have new hosts, I'll share my joke again: Teamwork = Sidekicker
charcharmunr: Wrecking Crew, I love those goobers. Just random jobbers that got Asgardian empowerment and decided to roll with it.
BrowneePointz: Graham opening his 2nd Mighty Thor in 2 events is cosmic coincidence
djalternative: she got big hands and now so do you
TehAmelie: Kamala in the comics is at least 10% artists having fun with perspective drawing. i like that her ability is a joke about her power.
BrowneePointz: Wyatt Russell himself!?
MrPipboy3000: Ultron drone is pretty good
SolarBlitz1: WB splash storm maybe
SolarBlitz1: WU sorry
raulghoulia: is Young Hawkeye related to Young Peezy?
MrPipboy3000: No, but he does know Pizza Dog

Toxxick: Doc Samson is a mana dork tho right?
BrowneePointz: yes
cyrix240: herbie the robot taps for any color right?
Dr_fragenstien: slpash green for fixing? Kappa
BrowneePointz: There are bespoke Redwing and Zabu tokens
charcharmunr: @BrowneePointz And the Redwing token in paper inexplicably says Redwing enters tapped, when Falcon's card doesn't say that.
thedepthandbreadthofseth: Cobie Smulders!
Montesque64: Powerful broker is a fun generalization of the character Power Broker, who sells villain tech to people powers.
raulghoulia: Excelsior!
thedepthandbreadthofseth: that's Robin Sherbotski!
Montesque64: give*
BrowneePointz: im honestly shocked there’s not a card in the set just called Excelsior!
Toxxick: Crossbones is as wide as the other two men on that card. Lord.
Montesque64: @BrowneePointz True believers was a pretty cool reference, though.
BrowneePointz: that art
BrowneePointz: is Loki ability or spell
charcharmunr: @BrowneePointz They'll make the Gravedigger a card and give him that as an ability word, maybe. Because that's the most consistent "Stan Lee" character in the comics.
Jepardil: Loki is only abilities
Montesque64: I will never not love that Ms Marvel givers you no maximum hand size. Lol.
Desdae: Loki is only abilities and not spells
TehAmelie: how many levels for forehead are you on my dude?
thedepthandbreadthofseth: low key caring is the coolest kind of caring.
raulghoulia: he must spend a lot on hats
Jethrain: Loki is only abilities, but targeting *anything* not only your own stuff
charcharmunr: I like how Samuel Sterns is also just kind of completely average intellect when he's not Gamma'd up so he never de-Gammas.
TehAmelie: *of forehead
ThanhtTheBoss: does the 'only once' clause n Power-Up mean a copy of the trigger would fizzle one
Montesque64: Most of the nonlegendary creatures in this set are references to a specific character (they just didn't want every single character to be legendary, understandably.)
Toxxick: Can the Leader even De-Gamma? I thought it was perma
Dr_fragenstien: that does count tapping for teamwork
TehAmelie: i guess it depends on the story
charcharmunr: @Toxxick I think he can BE powered down at least. Not sure if he can switch like Hulk.
charcharmunr: Yeah, Kang doing Kang stuff.
Montesque64: The biochemist, I believe, is Goliath, from the Ant Man II movie and various comics.
raulghoulia: Immortus was top right and he is a kang, I suspect so
BrowneePointz: looked like Moebius and Immortus at least
charcharmunr: I will say I REALLY like how the main set Fantastic Four go infinite together.
Toxxick: That token is AMAZING
BrowneePointz: Glad Robot!
TehAmelie: y'all read Shivam's post about making the Fantasi-Car into four 4/4s with haste by turn 1? don't even need the actual Fantastic Four
TehAmelie: Fantasti-Car. keyboard faeries are feisty today
TXC2: TehAmelie no, but I think Even Erwin talked about it

If you do, create four 4/4 colorless Construct artifact creature tokens with flying and haste.
BrowneePointz: okay so I can’t see all the art on rewrite history but it looks like at least Immortus, Rama Tut and Nathaniel Richards so ya Oops all Kangs
Gekyouryuu: did Cori and Kathleen ever read the subs from their portion of the stream, actually? just realized I missed it if they did.
TehAmelie: oh, flying too. that car is messed up.
TXC2: Gekyouryuu they did not
Dr_fragenstien: true, sounds like a good cut
TXC2: a number of subs were missed by Lrrbot
EvilBadman: They caught up at one point
charcharmunr: @BrowneePointz I think that's meant to be Victor Timely, not Nathaniel (they're all Nathaniel, and the one usually called Nathaniel is not Kang, it's Reed's dad).
EvilBadman: !dbex

BrowneePointz: oh it is Victor Timely
charcharmunr: The Kangs in the Kang card.
charcharmunr: One of them is Victor Timely.
BrowneePointz: on Rewrite history it’s 4 Kang Variants and I was seeing which ones it was
Toxxick: I remember, I was chat judge xD
Montesque64: Shivam's Post: https://bsky.app/profile/shivambhatt.bsky.social/post/3mnx3vgw6ys26
charcharmunr: Oh yeah because of all that drama.
BrowneePointz: oh yea….
charcharmunr: Oh yeah Fantasticar might genuinely be significant in Vintage/Legacy.
Toxxick: Long Story short: MCP Kang has two cards you can play at the start of the game where you point to a future turn and say "on this turn i get to do something"
Mr_Horrible: Death by Welding Jarmy
BrowneePointz: Jane Foster, Mighty Thor: World’s most powerful Cancer patient
yobigdogXL: he's a conqueror
charcharmunr: @BrowneePointz Kinda hope Jane gets a Valkyrie card too.
TXC2: I like the response to Shivam being that you need a god hand, like that's not what vintage is most of the time :p
raulghoulia: what was their name?
munocard: Frankly, I feel like I learned a little too much about his actor.
BrowneePointz: Future member of the Richards family, discovers time travel and makes it everyone’s problem
TehAmelie: i'm guessing Fantasticar will cost points in any points format. maybe four points?
Toxxick: Potential Somethings include: Playing a temporary alternate version of himself to the table for a turn, undoing damage, teleporting, or clearing status effects
BrowneePointz: he’s….he means well but he’s a dick
charcharmunr: U.S.Agent being just a Hero feels off, but I suppose he's "more" Hero than not.
Toxxick: I always confuse USAgent and Nuke in my head
BrowneePointz: also Wyatt Russell is very good as him in Cap and Winter Soldier and Thunderbolts
charcharmunr: Like, yeah, he sucks and he's an overly patriotic ass, but he does WANT to do good.
TehAmelie: the hero/villain status depends on the day which the characters turn into cards
BrowneePointz: Nuke is an actual piece of shit
SolarBlitz1: Oh this is a fun engine
charcharmunr: @TehAmelie I'm sad there's no Namor that flips arbitrarily between Hero and Villain.
BrowneePointz: he’s good in Monarch as well
Montesque64: @charcharmunr That would be a great DFC
BrowneePointz: yea for Graham Thunderbolts has TWO legacy actors: Wyatt Russell AND Lewis Pullman
BrowneePointz: and honestly, Lewis Pullman might be a better actor than his dad
Montesque64: @BrowneePointz The Marvel Patriotic figure continuum, from evil to good: Nuke>USAgent>Captain America
jacqui_lantern234: OH LOOK!!! its graham and james!!! theyre so handsome and talented everybody loves them!!!!!!!! <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
Toxxick: James, if you see this, what character or faction would you want to play or learn in Crisis Protocol?
TehAmelie: lrrSHINE
charcharmunr: @Montesque64 I just like the concept of "at the beginning of your upkeep, flip a coin, on heads, Namor is a Hero, on tails, he's a Villain", but that's very mechanically pointless.
Toxxick: theyve really been pushing the roster, so we have a lot more people to choose from
jacqui_lantern234: "Marvel Crisis Protocol" sung to the tune of "Alexander Hamilton"
Toxxick: Including 3(4) Iron men
TehAmelie: when has mechanics ever got in the way of good flavor?
BrowneePointz: but yea Lewis Pullman was so legitimately incredible in Thunderbolts* that watching it I went “This guy is a future Oscar Winner”
houseclone1: Did anyone ever play the old VS System TCG? Second favourite card game (1st being MTG)
raulghoulia: @BrowneePointz He should be named Bob for all future roles

TXC2: raulghoulia yes
jacqui_lantern234: A B C - Always Watch LRR Videos :P
BrowneePointz: @raulghoulia if he’s named Bob Starr in Spaceballs 2 I will cry laugh
TXC2: it is not ok how good Top gun mavarick is :P
Toxxick: In fact, I think next to spider man, Iron man is the character with the most models
Toxxick: But there are like 12 spidersman
BrowneePointz: oh Robbie you annoying butthead
TehAmelie: makes sense for Iron Man to have a bunch of variant suits
raulghoulia: @TXC2 its like the platonic ideal for that kind of movie
krezor0: It somewhat bothers me howmany playing cards are on the bullseye art. That's gambit's thing. Give bullseye a knive or something. Art is great though, no real complaint
ContingentCat: Careful thinking about numbers too much
BrowneePointz: did you read the second sentence?
jacqui_lantern234: people also care about how lovely you are, GRAHAM!!! #GOTTEM :P
BrowneePointz: Robbie is unkillable with removal as long as there’s another legal target
charcharmunr: @krezor0 I mean he did throw cards a few times too and I guess they wanted to match the flavour of "discarding a card" = "throwing a card".
charcharmunr: @BrowneePointz How flavourful. And tragic for Robbie.
jacqui_lantern234: so clearly everybody knows what sorta mood im in today
jacqui_lantern234: :P
Jundinator: Hi Lrr and LRRCHAT. Did we sealed?
BrowneePointz: ye it works cuz Robbie is damn near invulnerable sorry Speedball
TXC2: hello Jundinator indeed sealed
krezor0: @charcharmunr Yeah sure i can get behind the flavour of that
Jundinator: @TXC2 Whooo. Sealed best limited
charcharmunr: Yeah, he's functionally hexproof unless he's the only legal target.
munocard: I don't think it copies
Jundinator: What deck we get
Dr_fragenstien: they would have to pick legal targets
TXC2: the same mood you're in everyday jacqui_lantern234 : try to love the world! Kappa
Dr_fragenstien: yeah, gonna need a different solution
jacqui_lantern234: @TXC2 see, you get it!
charcharmunr: Oh yeah if he DID, he'd be the only legal target.
Dr_fragenstien: oh my god that's hilarious
XavusGaming: Hey look now you can!
Toxxick: "Stop hitting yourself!"
XavusGaming: :(
BrowneePointz: but ye his power is kinetic energy manipulation, particularly in those circular fields you see around him. Generally speaking when he gets hit he goes bouncing around like a pinball at high velocity. it’s how he survived the bomb that blew up the Town he’s infamously tied to
munocard: bolt your dude, just kidding
houseclone1: Speedball would probably make a sweet Commander deck
TehAmelie: thinking of the time Bullseye had that target carved into his forehead and thought he was super badass until Daredevil only "found out" about it halfway through kicking his butt case, he only notices when he touches the guy's head
munocard: Reach might help\
TehAmelie: *cause
theymerLoviatar: @houseclone1 literally thinking the same thing
charcharmunr: @BrowneePointz And that incident led to one of the worst stories in Marvel, so that was fun.
XavusGaming: Wow MTGA all heroes with stretchy hands are the same to you?
Toxxick: Now that you mention it, the Venn diagram between Mr Fantastic and Ms Marvel isnt two seperate circles
BrowneePointz: also his cat Hairball also shows up in the set on both his card and the Pet Avengers(actual name Niels as in Niels Bohr, got the same powers in the same lab accident)
Dr_fragenstien: oh please...I was hoping they'd try the lightning bolt trick in response again
TehAmelie: i always knew Niels Bohr had superpowers
charcharmunr: @Toxxick I think they're generally pretty friendly on the few times they meet each other.
munocard: Herbie gonna get us there
Dr_fragenstien: bullseye does specify non-land to deal damage, so it's not super threatening right now
Just_Herby: Well I'll do my best...
BrowneePointz: technically Reed and Kamala’s powers are two separate circles colored similar colors
charcharmunr: @BrowneePointz Yeah Reed stretches, Kamala is more size-shifting.
BrowneePointz: she shapeshifts and changes density, Reed is specifically elasticity
Toxxick: Ill admit my F4 knowledge is lacking, but isnt Reed usually portrayed as 1 bad day away from being the BIGGEST problem, but thats other dimensions problem?
BrowneePointz: his mass doesn’t change
BrowneePointz: nah main universe Reed is a Sweetheart
houseclone1: Just realised that Speedball with a Spark Double would lead to infinite ricochets
LRRbot: If you see something funny or particularly noteworthy, make a Clip of it! Your clip could appear in a fortnightly video or be seen at https://www.twitch.tv/loadingreadyrun/clips (Named clips with no autocaptions are preferred but not required!)
TehAmelie: i do want to read about Reed and Kamala learning a lot of stuff about using their powers from meeting each other
BrowneePointz: 616 Reed is a Good Man
BrowneePointz: other universe Reeds are generally buttholes at best
krezor0: Murdock's crusade might be a new contendor for "best magic art to put as a wallpaper/screensaver"
munocard: lol
Dr_fragenstien: it did save speedball there, there wasn't really any other way, but still probably not the most efficient use of that card
munocard: Get in there Herbert!
TehAmelie: @krezor0 i could make one eye cover each of my screens. . .
krezor0: @TehAmelie Now that's vision
skiddybones: !card Agent Maria Hill
LRRbot: Agent Maria Hill [W] | Legendary Creature — Human Spy Hero [2/1] | Whenever Agent Maria Hill becomes tapped to pay a teamwork cost, put a +1/+1 counter on her and draw a card.
Dr_fragenstien: maybe move the shield to ms marvel?
munocard: I think we start keeping lands in hand for Kamala
TehAmelie: make our hand grow!
munocard: Put Maria in front of it?
munocard: nice
munocard: Kamala has vigilance
Dr_fragenstien: don't see why not, the agents give her +1
Toxxick: Agent Hill getting the job done
TXC2: some day they'll print a vanilla card again
raulghoulia: I liked the vanilla legends in Aetherdrift
TehAmelie: did you know? Bullseye's legal name is Lester. nobody remembers that, he's quite a dull boy
Desdae: A 5/5 and 2or4 damage to something
MrPipboy3000: that'll kill speedball if he's the only attacker

Toxxick: All i know about Bullseye is his last name is Poindexter
charcharmunr: @TehAmelie We TECHNICALLY don't know if Lester is even his real name. It's just what people call him.

theymerLoviatar: @TXC2 Happy Hogan technically got a vanilla card in this set
BrowneePointz: @Toxxick there’s a Joke his name is Lester Poindexter but afaik we don’t know his full name
Wolfstrike_NL: !card vanille, cheerful l'cie
LRRbot: Vanille, Cheerful l'Cie [3G] | Legendary Creature — Human Cleric [3/2] | When Vanille enters, mill two cards, then return a permanent card from your graveyard to your hand. / At the beginning of your first main phase, if you both own and control Vanille and a creature named Fang, Fearless l'Cie, you may pay {3}{B}{G}. If you do, exile them, then meld them into Ragnarok, Divine Deliverance.

Dr_fragenstien: how in the world does a boomerang arrow work
drewm1022: YES ITS ORIGINAL
charcharmunr: @Dr_fragenstien It comes back.
TehAmelie: indeed, Benjamin Poindexter was onklyan alias he used per wikipedia
TehAmelie: *an
Toxxick: @BrowneePointz Ah, I just know what hey have listed as his "real name" on his MCP Data Card.
Jundinator: @theymerLoviatar Except that Red isn't supposed to get Savannah Lions without downside at common
jacqui_lantern234: james, why are you surprised that people are yelly? :P im a member of chat
drewm1022: I had no idea what kind of nascent twitch adventure I was about to embark upon when I made my name.
Dr_fragenstien: it does!
charcharmunr: Yep.
BrowneePointz: ye the only thing we know is Bullseye’s first name is Lester. every other name he’s ever used is an alias
munocard: sure does!
charcharmunr: @BrowneePointz And we're not even sure if Lester is really his name. It's just what he's called.
BrowneePointz: I think Lester is the closest to his actual name we’ve gotten
munocard: yeah, it's a CDA
Dr_fragenstien: yes, it becomes a static ability
Toxxick: Weird, his data card says "Benjamin" wonder where they got that from
BrowneePointz: he’s used Benjamin Poindexter as an alias
Toxxick: gotcha
BrowneePointz: all ya gotta know is he’s the biggest hater in comics
Toxxick: I thought that was Doom
charcharmunr: @BrowneePointz I mean, Black Manta, Reverse-Flash, Lex Luthor and Doom all are contenders.
raulghoulia: Rhodey
Desdae: They can't doubel or they die
keyforgealchemist: 'Sup, Tony?
EvilBadman: Kirk soon
Lord_Hosk: You're in this game and you are named James
doubleo21: Bucky Barnes’s first names is James
Dr_fragenstien: imagine calling JJJ "James"
BrowneePointz: Doom still aint as a big a hater as Bullseye. others have reasons for what they do. bullseye is just a heinous, sadistic dick cuz he’s like that
charcharmunr: Fallout.
Jepardil: Fallout
Joecool190: new vegas
Mr_Horrible: Fallout New Vegas
EvilBadman: Fallout NV
iDangero: New Vegas
Mr_Horrible: dlc
BrowneePointz: new Vegas
charcharmunr: New Vegas DLC character.
houseclone1: I'm using Jason Bright and Mr House as a rule 0 Commander Pair to fit my name: Jason House
raulghoulia: Buckys first name is James as well
KaiTerranova: Graham is so tall compared to James~
dolphgrim: Graham, the man eating sandwich?
TXC2: he's in the DLC, and he's fantastic
BrowneePointz: he was a famous omission from the commander decks
MrPipboy3000: Joshua Graham is from a New Vegas DLC
charcharmunr: Graham, who is just Bradley Walsh on a Magic card, which always trips me up.
Dr_fragenstien: op forgot about first strike
BrowneePointz: do folks were glad he got in in a secret lair
BrowneePointz: so*
Toxxick: Ah, so Bullseye is DC's Zsasz levels of petty hater
Joecool190: Joshua was a big lore character for Caesar's Legion
lightfut: Fnpf with only namesake UB commanders? Lol
charcharmunr: Joshua Graham, AKA the coolest Mormom ever.
raulghoulia: 3 of the 4 are real good
TXC2: charcharmunr now to be fair< Bradley did a Really good job on the show IMO
kumatsu: oh, the NV DLC is very fun
TXC2: Honest hearts! that was the name of the DLC
BrowneePointz: @Toxxick bigger. just look up what he’s done to Daredevil’s past romantic interests
charcharmunr: @TXC2 Oh I'm sure, I just watch The Chase quite a bit and it's like "Oh that's kinda weird".
MrPipboy3000: New Vegas DLCs SLAP!!
TXC2: charcharmunr oh for sure, that juxtaposition is JARRING
EvilBadman: I think "lrr crew member with most ridiculous card with their name" is still Cori-Steel Cutter
Dr_fragenstien: no, it deals 1 damage each, not x damage
charcharmunr: No it'd have to be like an XX to do that.
flouncy_magooo: @EvilBadman Ben-Ben, Akki Hermit?
kumatsu: god, imagine Comet Storm at common
XavusGaming: Now imagine if they had speedball out
Mr_Horrible: it's a very powerful take on fireball, yeah
193 raiders from MTGGoldfish have joined!
MrPipboy3000: Its Gutshot storm at home
Mr_Horrible: not quite *that* powerful, but
TXC2: hello Raiders
charcharmunr: Oh hey raiders.
Dog_of_Myth: scoopsHYPE scoopsHYPE scoopsHYPE
Mr_Horrible: ayy, welcome raiders
theymerLoviatar: Joshua Graham famously said the quote "I survived because the fire inside me burned brighter than the fire around me". It gets shared a lot without the source with all sorts of spiritual sunset backgrounds etc., ignoring the fact it is literally about how Joshua survived being lit on fire and being thrown into the Grand Canyon
Wolfstrike_NL: I didn't keep track but, x=5 is 6 hits right?
oak0: 🐟
Dr_fragenstien: it's "grapeshot at home"
Bruceski: "I know what Magic cards look like, does X damage, no need to read more."
Desdae: It is evil with Red hulk
kumatsu: @Wolfstrike_NL yes, copy X times
keyforgealchemist: Favorite fizzy water flavor?
TXC2: right chat I'm off
charcharmunr: What board wipes are actually in the set?
Toxxick: @BrowneePointz I guess its fitting he's one of the most annoying MCP characters. Hes a mosquito that you cant let live or he will just plink you from 8 miles away and if he misses, he can say "no i didnt"
keyforgealchemist: Peach is S tier
TXC2: goodnight everybody, and thanks for streaming Graham and James
thegreatwyrdling: Cheer100 Now I want passion fruit.
charcharmunr: @Toxxick Considering Bullseye's entire thing is "incredibly inhumanly accurate" so that makes sense.
BrowneePointz: avengers disassembled for 1RR
kumatsu: I'm suddenly in the mood for a good watermelon fizzy, but have no way to make that happen
keyforgealchemist: There's a local store brand near me that has a concord grape flavor that is delicious
hyalopterous: A-Ha! Do you take them on?
munocard: I love that we can give the serum to John Walker
Gekyouryuu: any time I hear La Croix now, I remember that one Rick & Morty episode where the news ticker said "It doesn't matter how you pronounce La Croix, it still sounds stupid."
jofu_: discarding thor's hammer is a sweeper
Dr_fragenstien: with an open red? very risky
BrowneePointz: when you drink A-Ha! do you speak like Mickey Mouse the whole time?
Toxxick: @charcharmunr luckily he falls over to a slightly menacing breeze, but hes the lowest point level a unit can be. very efficient
charcharmunr: The return of Robbie.
jofu_: you're assuming they're an adult
Dr_fragenstien: but web up works on him!
charcharmunr: And also he's the only legal target.
BrowneePointz: I feel Graham would laugh really really hard at the whole Speedball into Penance thing
Lord_Hosk: (sings)when us agent equips his mighty shield....
charcharmunr: @BrowneePointz Penance was... A choice.
BrowneePointz: Penance was the edgiest marvel moment of the last 20 years
munocard: Seems worth webbing up
charcharmunr: @BrowneePointz I appreciate the Great Lakes Avengers comic having Squirrel Girl time travelling and meeting Penance and it just ruthlessly mocked how edgy it was.
Dr_fragenstien: to be fair they kept a hand with 2 lands and no 1-2 drops, so that's on them
BoomerAang_Squad: there's a board wipe in simic (kind of)
Lord_Hosk: Thats why I got one
charcharmunr: Pym Particles bothers me because if there was ever a card to be "target creature becomes either a 1/1 that can't be blocked or a 4/4 with trample", it's that.
Lord_Hosk: THey are all over facebook marketplace for 20-30 bucks
charcharmunr: Just on flavour.
dolphgrim: James, you can give the golf people money and they will let you drive a little car around... 👀
munocard: flexible hexproof seems strong
thedepthandbreadthofseth: What's the course par?
charcharmunr: @munocard Flexproof. Hexible?
thedepthandbreadthofseth: Ty
dolphgrim: No no. YOU get to drive. That's the best part of golfing.
Lord_Hosk: Next to the ridge
thedepthandbreadthofseth: James, you (we) are now the correct age to actually enjoy golf.
TehAmelie: Dear Dr James, how badly do you want to go to the Scottish highlands to golf the way the game was invented?
Mishapp53: 4 hour walk in nature "ruined" by a little white ball
thedepthandbreadthofseth: Was it Mark Twain that called golf a nice walk, spoiled?
Mr_Horrible: Smol-em Simulacrum
EvilBadman: OP has a great name for a thumbnail Kappa
charcharmunr: @thedepthandbreadthofseth I thought that was Oscar Wilde.
raulghoulia: you could wear a kilt?
BrowneePointz: but yea, Speedball, a famous light hearted quipster, is in an On Cam incident, where a Suped up Villain blows up a whole town. Changes his name to Penance and gets an Iron Maiden suit with 60 piercing spikes, one for each kid in the elementary school, to access his powers
charcharmunr: Oh, no, it was Mark Twain.
BrowneePointz: it was PEAK edgelord
MrPipboy3000: I shot a 63 once ... got kicked out on the 3rd hole so no idea how high I could have gotten ... I don't understand golf
iDangero: the winner of golf is the person who plays the least golf...
charcharmunr: @BrowneePointz 600+ piercing spikes, actually.
Lord_Hosk: I've heard the course in scotland are pretty crappy just because of the terrain
hyalopterous: Some golfer called his book that
Akaiatana: The OP does not know me, I swear
BrowneePointz: @charcharmunr the only ones that pierce pierce are the 60 for the school
BrowneePointz: but yea 612 spikes total
BrowneePointz: it’s flap Shitto
charcharmunr: @BrowneePointz Penance was so... Silly. I kind of hope he gets something somewhere, but I'm fine with just Speedball showing.
Aarek: that lemur is an earthbender.
Gekyouryuu: @Aarek no, you idiot, the girl!
bucketofmarc: Hey Graham, thanks for opening my promo packs on CrackAPack. Do you like those tiny packs?
charcharmunr: Fun flavour that Murdock's Crusade can take down Kingpin but can't take out Political Triumph.
munocard: I think bullseye is a bigger issue
Mr_Horrible: in a stalemate, I'm less eager to be across from a zola
BrowneePointz: that’s because Fisk’s mayoral win was legitimate
charcharmunr: I'm sure a Bullseye deck with Weapons Manufacturing will be fun for somebody.
Gekyouryuu: oh, neat. semi-relevant to stream, there's a new trailer out for the upcoming Spider-Man movie. looks sick.
munocard: Bullseye can still go to the face
Voidhawk42: @charcharmunr Oh, it'll be fun for ME
charcharmunr: @Voidhawk42 Bullseye just hucking bombs at people.
Strebenherz: RELATEABLE G
MWGNZ: thats why they couldnt deliver it, they didnt try to
Voidhawk42: @charcharmunr "Hey bullseye, rather than throwing forks and knives, have you tried GRENADES?" "Oh hey, yeah this is much better!"
Diabore: #blamejames
Gekyouryuu: I see those promo packs basically every week. hilariously, I won one from Secrets of Strixhaven, and the third card was Sedgemoor Witch from ORIGINAL Strixhaven
charcharmunr: @Voidhawk42 "You call throwing grenades around a superpower?" "Hey, as long as it works."
Strebenherz: did your payment info autofill the old address?
BrowneePointz: in the Daredevil show doesn’t Bullseye kill a dude with a Lobster?
Akaiatana: When I make chaos drafts, I make five promo packs one 'booster'
Gekyouryuu: @charcharmunr The Immortal Iron Fist of the North Star
munocard: Triumph?
munocard: aww boo
charcharmunr: @BrowneePointz I think so, yes.
Dr_fragenstien: does killing agents help?
Voidhawk42: Could tap both for both
munocard: I think killing Agent is good
Toxxick: oh @BrowneePointz I just remembered, didnt you want to know when MCP had Jubiliee? Shes coming out later this year as part of a New Mutants/Uncanny Xmen support wave.
charcharmunr: @Gekyouryuu I don't want to say they've NEVER referenced FotNS with Iron Fist but I'm sure they must have.
kumatsu: "we can only do street justice" is a hell of a sentence without context
charcharmunr: @Toxxick Jubilee's also coming to Marvel Rivals next season, she's getting a bit of push lately.
Strebenherz: @LoadingReadyRun if it helps, check if your payment info autofilled the old address, ran into that by mistake on a recent order
Strebenherz: oof. good luck
Voidhawk42: I do enjoy the flavor that Legal Justice sucks and is almost useless in most contexts. Whereas "just find the guy making life bad and send him to the shadow realm" is always great
kumatsu: I got an email that a Secret Lair I forgot I bought is arriving soon... when I'm out of town working an event
munocard: we're in danger
Toxxick: @charcharmunr Shes been in development since last year, but they plan very far in advance and we dont quite understand how they decide release windows
charcharmunr: @Voidhawk42 Kingpin can be taken down by Street Justice, but Legal Justice does nothing to his Triumph.
Toxxick: Like, this year we are also getting Blackheart and THE ORB?>?!?
Toxxick: why? who knows!
Strebenherz: @kumatsu easiest solution might be to ask a trusted friend to scoop it off your porch/whatever to get it to you when you'
charcharmunr: @Toxxick I dunno what MCP even is at this point I have to say.
Strebenherz: you're back^
Toxxick: @charcharmunr Think Warhammer Kill team but with Marvel IP
charcharmunr: @Toxxick Also with regards to Orb apparently he's been dead in the comics for a few years now. Huh.
Desruprot: a James appeared
kumatsu: @Strebenherz someone else should be around I'm just mildly annoyed cuz it had 3 product delays
munocard: Yeah, that was a great draft
Voidhawk42: @charcharmunr The moral of superhero stories has always been "Find the guy making life bad and give him SO much brain damage. Oh and make sure no-one knows who you are."

charcharmunr: @Voidhawk42 Well, Daredevil does that and feels horrible Catholic guilt about it after.
munocard: We even beat a Turn 1 Library of Alexandria
Voidhawk42: @charcharmunr *Toymaker voice* "Well, that's ok then!"
munocard: The draft before had Library
Strebenherz: @kumatsu valid frustration
Lord_Hosk: Why is there a 2 gig update for arena? I played a few days ago, is marvel that big?
theymerLoviatar: I'm not a huge Marvelhead, but I've been having SO much fun posting cards at my friend who is deep into it and getting her to rant furiously about completely obscure things
Dr_fragenstien: me too
Mangledpixel: he's gonna be Thor in the morning
Voidhawk42: @Lord_Hosk 600 cards
charcharmunr: Loki says "do crime".
Dr_fragenstien: loki's wording is so tricky
munocard: Loki is basically "crime?"
BrowneePointz: he’s been Thor at least once
ChillyCru: and spiderman artas well
charcharmunr: Loki also says be gay, but that's unrelated to doing crimes.
SolarBlitz1: What's just off Grahams left shoulder that's crept into the green screen?
Cyberegg: also spider-man got added
Xed_Regulus: Hulk need 2 gigs! Hulk am very big!
raulghoulia: nah hes Donald Blake
RayFK: Yeah, some are
Bruceski: @Dr_fragenstien It's so easy to add "or spell" by mistake
Strebenherz: BAHAHAHA
Voidhawk42: LUL
Strebenherz: I THOUGHT I WAS SEEING THINGS
munocard: He's gonna need it for DB Express!
idontgetmyrealname: LRRmans returns
zelukester: howdy folks, how's the early access been treating y'all? any bugs I should know about?
Dr_fragenstien: I did not notice whatsoever

thedepthandbreadthofseth: @idontgetmyrealname you should change your real name to this. you could be the barber in the town where he shaves everyone who doesn't shave themselves.
ChillyCru: I got confused today with my Through the Omenpaths cards changing to the Spiderman versions
zelukester: wild XD
EvilBadman: @ChillyCru That would also be why patch big
zelukester: glad to hear things've been going smoothly :)
thedepthandbreadthofseth: @ChillyCru yeah
Dr_fragenstien: maybe they didn't understand what shield counters do
BrowneePointz: I love that Agents of SHIELD have the really goofy old comic outfits
BrowneePointz: Main Nick Fury ALSO wore a suit like that
charcharmunr: Is there a setting to default to mute?
EvilBadman: a clickable loki to slam into the floor
charcharmunr: @BrowneePointz I'm glad OG Nick Fury at least shows up in an alt art or two.
zelukester: I'll write it down lol
raulghoulia: Hans Moleman
BrowneePointz: aka that dude from Cobra Kai
thedepthandbreadthofseth: Agree, James (and G).
BrowneePointz: that was also in Naked Gun
BrowneePointz: what is that actor’s name
rentar42: mentioning j*ra gives me psychic damage
Dr_fragenstien: could do that and super intelligence, hopefully draw some cards?
theymerLoviatar: I can't handle the word Moloid because the first four letters of that are a Finnish word for, y'know, a wingwong
BrowneePointz: wait Paul Walter Hauser is a pro wrestler!?
Dr_fragenstien: !Card Mole Man
LRRbot: Did you mean: Molecule Man; Return of the Mole Man; Mole Man, Moloid Master
Voidhawk42: I have a new quest: to get an Agents of Shield card signed by the entire cast of Agents of Shield
Dr_fragenstien: !Card Mole Man, Moloid Master
LRRbot: Mole Man, Moloid Master [2G] | Legendary Creature — Human Villain [1/1] | You may play lands from your graveyard. / Landfall — Whenever a land you control enters, create a 1/1 green Minion creature token named Moloid with "Whenever this token attacks, you may mill a card."
dolphgrim: Yo what dat moleman do?
thedepthandbreadthofseth: @theymerLoviatar What happens when you read a Dickens novel?
charcharmunr: @Voidhawk42 It's funny because I think nobody in the card art is any specific character from the show?
dolphgrim: Always happy to ask the tough questions. 😋
BrowneePointz: wait Paul Walter Hauser was mole man, also has an Emmy AND is a pro wrestler
munocard: I really want to get Wallace Shawn to sign my Vizzini.
keyforgealchemist: uniforms from the comics
BrowneePointz: the middle is KIND of Agent Mah
charcharmunr: It's always funny to me to see these super villains with the intimidating names and knowing their actual names. Like Grim Reaper's real name is Eric.
BrowneePointz: 616 Agent Fury wears a suit like that too
hyalopterous: The one on the right looks like Dum Dum Duggan
gr3yj3d1: The set IP agreement is only for the comics not MCU or any TV show
hyalopterous: *left
thedepthandbreadthofseth: I do kinda love Clark Gregg, but that's from Aaron Sorkin stuff.
charcharmunr: @gr3yj3d1 Yeah but a lot of the show's characters got backported into the comics, like Phil Coulson.
radioshackraider: I don't think they're specific characters. If they are, they don't scan to the show. The blonde guy is maybe Agent Quartermain?
BrowneePointz: @gr3yj3d1 there’s a couple that look cheekily like a version of them
hyalopterous: Quake was in the comics before the show
raulghoulia: Ive only seen one set on Arena before this. When does Fleem show up?
EvilBadman: I am surprised that there are not MCU art secret lairs, but also know that's probably a bunch of paperwork
BrowneePointz: middle might be Agent May?
charcharmunr: Not really, most of the Agents of SHIELD cast were new characters. Some then appeared in the comics.
BrowneePointz: who is Ming Na Wen
Dr_fragenstien: it's probably the deathtouch trick
gr3yj3d1: Oh thats sneaky didn't know they did that in the modern comics
Voidhawk42: Most of the show characters were new inventions. Only a few comic ones cropped up
munocard: @BrowneePointz Mulan?
thedepthandbreadthofseth: @BrowneePointz Mu Lan.
BrowneePointz: yes also Mulan
charcharmunr: Quake, for example, was a comics character who then had her backstory semi-retconned to fit with the show's version of her.
ToppHat: reed got a booty
Bruceski: Also Chun Li
BrowneePointz: @thedepthandbreadthofseth oh that was a statement not an Interrogative
SolarBlitz1: Not sure I liked Mr Fantastics hands coming down to touch the board with him
munocard: jazz hands!
charcharmunr: I do really appreciate how the Fantastic Four in the main set go infinite together.
radioshackraider: They're Fred Dursting
thedepthandbreadthofseth: @Bruceski I forgot about that! I remembered it was Raul Julia. but not her.
TehAmelie: on reflection, it's weird how rarely he reaches out and yanks down flying guys in the comics
charcharmunr: @TehAmelie I mean, he's not that much stronger. He's just stretchy.
hyalopterous: Kamala's powers are basically the same as Reed's
Dr_fragenstien: abilities only
BrowneePointz: Nope
charcharmunr: @hyalopterous They're different in actual powers but functionally very similar.
BrowneePointz: Kamala shapeshifts and changes mass
BrowneePointz: Reed is ONLY elasticity
Dr_fragenstien: loki has like 4 things where you go "wait, it does/doesn't do that?"
bytecaster: No, please don't turn on Armin zola
Mr_Horrible: I don't want to see what turns on Arnim Zola
BrowneePointz: Genocide usually
charcharmunr: I don't know if Krang was based on Arnim Zola or not.
charcharmunr: I wouldn't be surprised.
raulghoulia: Toby
BrowneePointz: Swiss Nazi who put his brain in a robot
thedepthandbreadthofseth: I wonder how many actors are both voices in Disney Animation and in the MCU
thedepthandbreadthofseth: Toby Jones?
Xed_Regulus: He was designed by Jack Kirby, I think, so it's exceptabel
thedepthandbreadthofseth: I think so.
radioshackraider: Yep
Dog_of_Myth: That is him
Voidhawk42: Zola in Winter Soldier was pure excellent villainy. "...first of all, I am Swiss..."
radioshackraider: Toby Jones is only 59?
ThirdFloorDraft: James is there
BrowneePointz: yea it’s wild hearing “Arnim Zola is a committed and true believer and OG member of the Reich….also he’s Swiss”
thedepthandbreadthofseth: @radioshackraider that's funny. I was gonna say ALREADY 59.
charcharmunr: Well, Doctor Who survived one hiatus.
thedepthandbreadthofseth: he's always looked like that.
Voidhawk42: TBF, Doctor Who sometimes needs a long sleep
thedepthandbreadthofseth: since 05
Toxxick: I would LOVE that
Dog_of_Myth: lrrLUL
Mr_Horrible: he's great
Strebenherz: damn
BrowneePointz: the first and last face we see in New Who being Billy Piper is wild
Mr_Horrible: always very blunt
BrowneePointz: it was really dumb
munocard: Yeah, Sure did!
charcharmunr: Billie Piper as the next Doctor was the setup.
FourYaksAndADog: Oh are we talking about Eccleston's Instagram post?
Mangledpixel: yeh, of course they did
BrowneePointz: sorry Billie*
SolarBlitz1: They also had NO plan to follow on from that cliffhanger. like nothing written
thedepthandbreadthofseth: what about Paul McGan? Justice for US tv movie doctor.
charcharmunr: It was distribution rights, yeah.
Makimachine: Yes, and also someone from the first Doctor.
munocard: Disney helped produce it
Voidhawk42: Yeah, they did the ol' J.J. Abrams "here's a massive final twist with no plan for what it means!"
Mr_Horrible: iirc yeah it was a bit of co-production and NA distro rights?
Snowwraith: Disney were funding it, so basically Disney didn't want to do it anymore so it's gone out to tender again.
Snowwraith: Not sure why they think it needs that much budget.
BrowneePointz: there was a couple very good episodes and then a lot of mediocre writing
hd_dabnado: calpaldi was great
munocard: I didn't even finish Capaldi
charcharmunr: I've mostly heard that Ncuti Gatwa was basically robbed of any good episodes.
BrowneePointz: Jodie Whittaker got so underserved by GARBAGE writing
charcharmunr: Jodie Whittaker.
Xed_Regulus: Jodie
thedepthandbreadthofseth: I kinda loved capaldi, but they screwed Jodi Whidacker?
mistborn_wit: Jodi Whittaker
raulghoulia: jodie whitaker
Mangledpixel: *every doctor since Hartnell
Luna_TheOtter: sometimes i think of getting into Doctor Who but then i keep hearing not great things of the new stuff
munocard: Jodie Foster Doctor Who would rule
Voidhawk42: There have been some stand out episodes here and there (Heaven Sent is great for example). But they're the exception.
Strebenherz: oh you briefly caught ian's celebrity names thing
FourYaksAndADog: The Story and the Engine was an excellent episode for Gatwa
charcharmunr: Jodie, then David Tennant again briefly, then Gatwa.
BrowneePointz: Eccles Ten Smith Capaldi Whitaker Gatwa
EvilBadman: Tennant got split off and also exists in universe
mistborn_wit: Capaldi was terrific and had my favorite episdoe of all time wheere is trapped in the maze like castle
SolarBlitz1: Nucti Gatwa after like 3 episodes of Tennant
FourYaksAndADog: @mistborn_wit Hell Bent
mistborn_wit: @FourYaksAndADog yes
BrowneePointz: but yea Ncuti didn’t want forced into a garbage contract so he only signed for 2 seasons
charcharmunr: "These are good actors for the Doctor, shame they're not getting scripts to play the Doctor".
thedepthandbreadthofseth: They did Tennant a stint to give Gatwa time to schedule, and then they gave him like 8 episodes.
Toxxick: G Del Toro
djalternative: Capaldi has maybe the best individual episode in all of Doctor Who
hd_dabnado: Allison Luhrs
raulghoulia: Coogler
Sibwow: let Vera drew write Dr who
radioshackraider: J. Micheal Stracynski really wants to do it
charcharmunr: @hd_dabnado I mean I guess she's free now?
flouncy_magooo: Zack Snyder
munocard: Alison Luhrs or Tony Gilroy
bytecaster: So we learned what not to do now!
thedepthandbreadthofseth: the reanimated corpse of Douglas Adams?
Xed_Regulus: So definitely not J.J. Abrams
Lord_Hosk: Ronald D. Moore
BrowneePointz: Emma Thompson
FourYaksAndADog: @radioshackraider Proven to be able to run a low budget show
mistborn_wit: Emma Thompson would be amazing
EvilBadman: We have Inspector Spacetime, anyways
SolarBlitz1: Dr Who with a laugh track would be something
theamc2000: Christopher Nolan
ContingentCat: yeah it would be weird
radioshackraider: I honestly don't know if there's any full Brit/production company right now that could do it.
BrowneePointz: Emma Thompson does some great screenwriting
Bruceski: We need to zombify David Lynch
Voidhawk42: As a Brit, I am not adverse to an American-born writer. Provided they'd lived in the UK for at least 5 years prior.
munocard: Oh god, not Chris Nolan, maybe his brother?
Mr_Horrible: Dr Who written by an American would be exactly the same, except the Doctor would charge you
Xed_Regulus: American Doctor carries a Sonic Pistol
raulghoulia: if an Aussie can play Bond
thedepthandbreadthofseth: @mistborn_wit Ok, sure. Just name an accademy award writing screen writer.
Dog_of_Myth: lrrLUL
bytecaster: Nolan, but playing the Doctor
BrowneePointz: oh god someone up his own ass that doesn’t know what colors are
FourYaksAndADog: I mean, after losing Bond to Amazon...
SolarBlitz1: Why do we fall, The Master?
Strebenherz: look if anyone deserves to have their culture taken via appropriation.... :p
thedepthandbreadthofseth: winning*
CaptainSpam: There WAS that US-produced Doctor Who made-for-TV movie, right?
munocard: Jonathan Nolan did fantastic stuff with Westworld.
ThirdFloorDraft: Simon Pegg, what's he up to?
bytecaster: That would not work for Doctor Who
ArdCollider: Who needs a production designer devoted to slight visible gaffer tape, and a VFX artist forward-thinking enough to submit a shot with "added wear to duct tape" in the notes.
CaptainSpam: That wasn't good, but we at least have some sort of idea what it'd be like, right?
munocard: @ThirdFloorDraft Starring in terf wizard media
Voidhawk42: Fundamentally, we need an actual Successful UK Sci-Fi Author to do it
Dog_of_Myth: Hear me out: Wes Anderson. :p
ContingentCat: Phoebe Waller-Bridge would be interesting
charcharmunr: @CaptainSpam Was that the one where the Doctor travelled to the US, got outside the TARDIS and was immediately shot dead by random gun violence?
mysticbob2085: Dark and gritty Doctor Who would be super weird.
Toxxick: I once described Nolan as a child raised by Kubrick and Cameron and I stand by that statement
CaptainSpam: @charcharmunr Sounds familiar, yeah.
ThirdFloorDraft: @munocard dinger, but got something to check out, thanks
mistborn_wit: But now one does no linear story telling better than him
hyalopterous: CAn't just have Catwoman be a furry
thedepthandbreadthofseth: very much the opposite of "bowties are cool!"
radioshackraider: There's just not a lot of genre TV being made in/by the UK rn
charcharmunr: People are really upset Helen of Troy isn't white.
bytecaster: Wait, people cannot be turned into pigs?!?
Mr_Horrible: famed historian, Homer sinuuSmug
ArdCollider: (remember, amoguses only have butts in the cartoon because a storyboard artist just did that and Owen Dennis was like "how did we not think of that, of course')
bytecaster: There are not cyclopses?!?
djalternative: You're telling me Polyphemous wasn't a real person?
munocard: Just watch Oh Brother Where Art Thou?
mistborn_wit: But what are the giftors going to talk about
Mr_Horrible: it's just a matter of "if he wants to"
ThanhtTheBoss: Gasp! On porpoise?
Mr_Horrible: very willful director, for better or worse
thedepthandbreadthofseth: I would argue that myth and fiction are similar but separate categories, but I agree that it's a non issue.
FauksStarling: I choose to believe that Odysseus really was that terrible at navigation, though.
bytecaster: Should have done the Illiad instead, who can resist a big wooden horse?!?
exeJayce: oh man I hear that movie is really good
youcantlistentobuttons: James! What did you think of DIsclosure Day?
TehAmelie: was it Nolan or Zack Snyder who defended Superman wrecking the whole city in that movie because it's "not realistic" to have Superman win without paying a cost
BrowneePointz: I don’t care to see it tbh. it looks so absolutely flat
CaptainSpam: Then again, recalling the From Rewatch With Love episode where they mention that Adam West was once considered for James Bond, I wonder what US actor might actually work as The Doctor...
charcharmunr: Feels like there's been a decently good amount of Odyssey-related things lately, between the Nolan movie and Epic: The Musical.
mistborn_wit: I already have my tickets
exeJayce: that and project hail mary look SO worth watching
djalternative: did either of you see Obsession or Backrooms?
mysticbob2085: The nuclear explosion in Oppenheimer was super bad though.
thedepthandbreadthofseth: @bytecaster Did you learn nothing from Troy?
Voidhawk42: My nomination is George Mann. Reasoning: 1) he's a successful living UK sci-fi writer, 2) he's written Doctor Who books before
bytecaster: @thedepthandbreadthofseth I will after I see the movie!
Toxxick: The only judgment I have is the giant silver armor suits look weird.
BrowneePointz: Spielberg still knows how to shoot a film at the least
wedge_x: the thing about Christopher Nolan is... he really likes men. Just super into dudes. He should explore that more.
Mr_Horrible: Long Movie + Cooled Theaters
munocard: So, was it a sequel to Close Encounters of the Third Kind?
thedepthandbreadthofseth: @bytecaster It's the Illiad written by a straight guy who never read the Illiad.
gr3yj3d1: Oscar bait in my unprofessional opinion. Good oscar bait but still
ContingentCat: yeahhh that's a good time
Dog_of_Myth: That's fair
youcantlistentobuttons: I think i agree, it's his vision comepletely, for good or bad, but yeah! Some good performances, and fun couple hours!
mistborn_wit: Emily Blunt and John Wiliams carried that film
hyalopterous: Air conditioning is the reason for the success of the movie industry in the US
exeJayce: sometimes not using your phone for a few hours is all you need to relax, I do it from time to time
raulghoulia: Spider-Man trailer came out and it looks pretty good
BrowneePointz: The final Jackass
BrowneePointz: jackass 4 was good!
BrowneePointz: for being panini
djalternative: Supergirl? oh right Jackass
thedepthandbreadthofseth: @mistborn_wit that in no way makes me think that's a BAD movie.
BrowneePointz: pandini*
youcantlistentobuttons: is it SUpes?
ButterBall000: Have you seen the popcorn cup for Jackass? It's very on brand
munocard: Aquaman as Lobo
Dog_of_Myth: It did
mistborn_wit: @thedepthandbreadthofseth I wastn saying it was. I really liked it I am just saying that I think those are the tent poles that made it good
charcharmunr: Jason Momoa as Lobo, as he always should have been.
hyalopterous: Yeah, new spidey trailer
thedepthandbreadthofseth: Supergirl is top of my list. Love the character, and I think they may have done it perfectly.
Desdae: Toy Story 5 this week
youcantlistentobuttons: Im just so tired of Nolan
Voidhawk42: @LoadingReadyRun Dear Doctor Graham; As you probably know, a new James Bond game came out recently. From what I've seen it's written very much as a movie with gameplay. Any consideration of a From Rewatch With Love reunion about it?
ThirdFloorDraft: Don't ask for butter with the popcorn cover
djalternative: Have you seen the popcorn bucket for Odyssey?
TehAmelie: i didn't super love James Gunn's Superman but i'm hella hopeful for Supergirl
bytecaster: Matt actively 007ing
BrowneePointz: I liked that Jackass 4 felt more like the show and less like strict gross out crap they got into with 2 and 3
raulghoulia: its fun
mysticbob2085: 007 First Light is great imo.
theymerLoviatar: as the resident Finnish person I laughed a lot at the Finnish things the Danish devs put in the game
djalternative: The opening tutorial is honestly kind of inspired
Officinalis: Game good.
BrowneePointz: anyways let’s not spoil stuff for G
mysticbob2085: No, it is on Pc.
NorthArc: it's on pc
Snowwraith: Also PC at least
BrowneePointz: ye IOI
ButterBall000: Which Bond is the new 007 game?
StewartRWyatt: First Light has instantly gone to my suggestion for what people should look at getting into Bond, especially female-presenting and nonbinary people
EvilBadman: It's on everything current-gen, even getting a Switch 2 version
bytecaster: But they have that great new XBOX branding now!
charcharmunr: It's a non-specific "young" Bond.
theymerLoviatar: He's a nonspecific cute young lad
exeJayce: xbox lowered the price of their game pass, that's good enough for me rn
ButterBall000: Neat
Officinalis: Separate young British lad.
rosesmcgee: James Bond Jr. Got it.
ArdCollider: I enjoy everyone on Reddit squinting like "that is tom holland"
thedepthandbreadthofseth: @mistborn_wit When Speilberg asked Williams to write the score for Schiendler's List, Williams said it deserved a better composer. Speilberg responded, "I know. But they're all dead."
hyalopterous: He looks younger than any of the actors
theymerLoviatar: He does look kind of like someone put all the Bond actors in a blender and made a twentysomething fusion
ArdCollider: I'm faceblind and I can tell that is not Tom Holland LOL
Voidhawk42: The first Act of the game is him being recruited and trained by MI6, it honestly slaps
BrowneePointz: Switch 2 actually runs most stuff like a dream
itsr67: switch 2 is definitely in the "runs better than I thought it would" category
exeJayce: god I want a switch 2 so badly
youcantlistentobuttons: The Music was so good
BrowneePointz: barring a few major optimization outliers
hyalopterous: I thought Williams had retired tbh
ButterBall000: I can't hear Williams and not see the Holtz inspiration.
exeJayce: I can't justify buying another console right now even though there's so many things I want for it ;;;;
Strebenherz: same
Strebenherz: maybe not entire credits
ArdCollider: John Moviescores.
exeJayce: John Williams could have retired in the 90s and been set for life LMAO
mistborn_wit: @thedepthandbreadthofseth That is an incredable anecdote. Thank you for sharing that.
BrowneePointz: I sit through all the credits. All the people who worked on the film deserve it
wedge_x: staying for the credits is appreciated
Officinalis: Just Guys being Dudes naming John Williams scores
youcantlistentobuttons: I wanted to stay through the credits but the theater bumped the lights to full as soon as they started
theymerLoviatar: lights and noises!
Dr_fragenstien: just like you drew it up
thedepthandbreadthofseth: @mistborn_wit nhodouCare
ButterBall000: I'm getting too old to sit through the whole credits without needing to use the restroom

charcharmunr: That's DEFINITELY some nonsense that's happened in Marvel at one point.
wedge_x: 'how many vfx houses' is a classic game
ButterBall000: if movies are going to be 3+ hours, they need to reintroduce the Intermission.

Mr_Horrible: but I can't speak for them
ArdCollider: I suspect
BrowneePointz: is it gib-iss like the moon?
charcharmunr: Captain Grawmeica.
Toxxick: I need a cup of that Kaiju's piss!
charcharmunr: Grawmerica.*
Mr_Horrible: Captain Aquaria
EvilBadman: Vote Leviathan

Voidhawk42: "That blue whale has HANDS!" "...can it hold a shield?"
Toxxick: Well, it was built in cave, with a box of scraps
bytecaster: It's more of a combat trick with added long term value
BrowneePointz: Besides being a good movie and an incredible good conversation on mental health I’m glad to hear Thunderbolts was a good time to work on for vfx folk cuz uh….i know that’s not the case for all Marvel projects right now…
Strebenherz: https://www.twitch.tv/loadingreadyrun/clip/NeighborlyViscousPangolinDuDudu-sscoAZDGF9Q7XaO8
Mr_Horrible: turns out, attack into a 9/9 first strike is uhhhhh daunting
raulghoulia: not even cousins like the Banner and Walters
hyalopterous: There have been like 5 Spider-Women
BrowneePointz: Atlantis Assemble?
charcharmunr: Ah, yes, the Avengers: Maria Hill, Mister Fantastic, The Leviathan, and Spider-Woman.
Toxxick: The Pleistocene Epoch comes for you all!
BrowneePointz: Jessica Drew
charcharmunr: This is Jessica Drew, she's ENTIRELY unrelated to Spider-Man except for the whole Web of Life thing.
Toxxick: Yeah, shes disconnected from the Peter-verse
raulghoulia: she had hydra parents and is a triple agent
BrowneePointz: Venom Blast Super Spy
BrowneePointz: it’s complicated but she’s a super spy
charcharmunr: Yeah, she only exists because Marvel wanted to lock down the name of Spider-Woman.
ArdCollider: two things HYDRA loves: eugenics and branding exercises
xX_Before_The_Dawn_Xx: I thought the Leviathan with the super serum was a bit heavy handed metaphor for the Manhattan project -someone's Rotten tomato review
theymerLoviatar: At least we're adhering to the age-old tradition of Jessica Drew being in absolutely wack poses in art
bytecaster: are there any quintuple agents?
djalternative: Spider Woman is an entirely unrelated character invented wholly apart from Spider-Man
Pywodwagon: she was also the skrull queen for a while
Toxxick: On the side of whoever the writing needs I guess
Mangledpixel: Spider Woman was originally created to grab the copyright on the name
charcharmunr: I don't think Jessica even likes Peter that much.
djalternative: Yeah. she was also the big bad of Secret Invasion technically
BrowneePointz: Jessica Drew has some HEINOUS sexualized ridiculous comic poses yea
Voidhawk42: @Pywodwagon More like, the Skrull Queen was her
BrowneePointz: Jessica Drew might be the most crotch forward super heroine in comic art period
raulghoulia: after the success of the Bionic Woman, marvel realized if people made female led shows of their populer tv characters they wouldnt retain rights, so Marvel quickly created Spider-Woman and She-Hulk
charcharmunr: @BrowneePointz I'm sure they made her super flexible for wholesome reasons.
Toxxick: Funny that I think her most infamous comic cover in recent memory was assforward
charcharmunr: @raulghoulia Weird that they decided to make Spider-Woman entirely separate, but She-Hulk is completely related to Hulk.
Toxxick: But that was....oh lord, a decade ago
BrowneePointz: ye the one that started the Hawkeye Initiative was cheeks forward
hyalopterous: @Toxxick If you're refering to the Frank Cho one it was a copy of a Spider-Man cover
BrowneePointz: but yea most Jessica Drew art is uh….anatomy as an afterthought
thedepthandbreadthofseth: chat, (Drs @LoadingReadyRun ) can y'all help me with the name of red creature from cubes. I think it's a three drop, and when it attacks, you can sac a thing to do 2+X damage, where X is the MV of whatever you sacced.
thedepthandbreadthofseth: I don't know if that's right, but I think it's close
Voidhawk42: !card unliving legionaire
LRRbot: Can't find any card by that name
BrowneePointz: Broadside Bombardiers?
Dr_fragenstien: make them, you still draw a card
Voidhawk42: !card unliving legionnaire
LRRbot: Unliving Legionnaire [3B] | Creature — Vampire Villain [3/2] | Flying / Power-up — {5}{B}{B}: Return up to one target creature card from your graveyard to your hand. Put two +1/+1 counters on this creature.
thedepthandbreadthofseth: @BrowneePointz YES!!! ty
Toxxick: Isnt the really galling thing that Spider Woman isnt really a sexual character? Its not like Black Cat or Enchantress, they just keep putting her in those positions out-of-character?
thedepthandbreadthofseth: !broadside
BrowneePointz: yep
thedepthandbreadthofseth: !card broadside
LRRbot: Did you mean: Broadside Bombardiers; Broadside Barrage
charcharmunr: @Toxxick On some level it's just "her suit is skintight so any pose to show off flexibility will be kinda sexy" but they definitely put the ass forward a LOT.
thedepthandbreadthofseth: !card Broadside Bomb
LRRbot: Broadside Bombardiers [2R] | Creature — Goblin Pirate [2/2] | Menace, haste / Boast — Sacrifice another creature or artifact: This creature deals damage equal to 2 plus the sacrificed permanent's mana value to any target.
BrowneePointz: one of the most famous Jessica Drew eras had her doing superhero super spy stuff while pretty heavily pregnant iirc
Dr_fragenstien: you're good on the attacks now, I think the math works out.
Voidhawk42: Next turn looks good
Dr_fragenstien: the first strike kills enough creatures to reduce their collecive power below 9
bytecaster: Nobody tell our opponents we are holding two plains!
Dr_fragenstien: oh wait, yeah my math was bad
Dr_fragenstien: I cannot add to 10 lol
SoylentDoener: first strike could kill the lord and one of the then two toughness dudes
charcharmunr: Jessica Drew also has an infamously convoluted backstory riddled with retcons. I think she was raised by a cow.
Aeriic: Killing masters would already reduce toughness of one of the x/3s to also kill it during first strike damage.
BrowneePointz: Namor’s Revenge
bytecaster: Nobody can resist americas ass on a big fish!
ArcOfTheConclave: everything in front doesn't help them
raulghoulia: hey that cow raised lots of heroes
Voidhawk42: Another Victory for the amazing Captain Whale Fists
BrowneePointz: That’s Atlantis’ Ass!
Mr_Horrible: kanagoNote "9/9... first strike... vigilance... hexproof... GOOD?"
theamc2000: but you dared them
BrowneePointz: we were like NAMOR! and our opponent was like “No More”
Voidhawk42: !card super soldier serum
LRRbot: Super-Soldier Serum [1W] | Enchantment — Aura | Enchant creature / Enchanted creature gets +2/+2, has first strike and vigilance, and is a legendary Soldier in addition to its other types. / Whenever enchanted creature attacks or blocks, attach any number of target Equipment you control to it.
boyesie: Was this a draft or sealed?
charcharmunr: Ah, Siege was a good story.
keyforgealchemist: Hey, all! Bombs still good in limited?
charcharmunr: Putting perfectly innocent human citizens in jail...
theamc2000: Dc comics are good
raulghoulia: what comic?
Mr_Horrible: the world is big enough for both sinuuSmug
djalternative: nah. DC's where it's been at the last two years
charcharmunr: I keep meaning to read some non-Absolute DC stuff but I dunno what to get into. Maybe just main Superman stuff, see what's going on there, I've heard good stuff.
theamc2000: read a marvel comic when the dc set comes out
NorthArc: secret lair: absolute batman
BrowneePointz: do you want graphic novel or?
charcharmunr: Marvel's mostly kinda beefing it outside of Fantastic Four and Moon Knight.
keyforgealchemist: You can never go wrong with anything by Brubaker and Phillips
theamc2000: Dr.Strange the oath
StewartRWyatt: The House of X series was great
idontgetmyrealname: cool batman story: No Man's Land
boyesie: Death of Wolverine
djalternative: James, read Spider-Man: Life's Story
Mr_Horrible: I'll be honest I haven't followed the Big Two in a hot minute
SkaespearesBoys: Moon Knight by Jeff Lemire
Mr_Horrible: the last serialized American comic I read was The Department of Truth
keyforgealchemist: Daredevil is always great
idontgetmyrealname: House of X was good, so was House of M, really most spiderman stories NOT names One More Day
Stavaro : Hi from the netherlands. See you on magiccon amsterdam
bytecaster: Careful, he's a writer
charcharmunr: Or any of the current long-ish running Jed MacKay Moon Knight run, that's all pretty good.
djalternative: It's Spider-Man's entire story told as if he aged in real time with each issue being a decade
theamc2000: the Absolute one?
ToppHat: Absolute MMH?
charcharmunr: Absolute Martian Manhunter, you mean?
SkaespearesBoys: James read Earth X by Alex Ross
BrowneePointz: ye House of X was good
Mr_Horrible: oh, I have heard good stuff about Absolute Martian Manhunter, yeah
idontgetmyrealname: Absolute Martian Manhunter is the best comic of the past year by far
Xed_Regulus: Marvels
SkaespearesBoys: ball knowledge
ToppHat: I've heard nothing but bangers about the Absolute series
djalternative: House of X (Men) is also fantastic
charcharmunr: Wundagore is where Jessica Drew, Spider-Woman, was raised. A cow raised her. It's very silly.
ArdCollider: Knights of Wundagore are the High Evolutionary's bodyguards
theamc2000: Doctor Strange Fall Sunrise is a great book visually and story wise
protojman: the original Young Avengers is a solid 8 issue run
Mr_Horrible: honestly if you haven't read Grant Morrison's Batman run, good stuff
raulghoulia: Runaways is real good.
MegaDosX: 1945
Mr_Horrible: Year One, too
bytecaster: Worthy of the ass
ArdCollider: he is a genetics weirdo in magenta armor
charcharmunr: Also, you can't go wrong with reading Immortal Hulk if you haven't yet.
BrowneePointz: uhhh Moon Knight from Lemire or Mackay are good
djalternative: Immortal Hulk is also great yeah
Mr_Horrible: the actually reminds me I need to look at where Astro City trade paperbacks are at
charcharmunr: Immortal Thor and Mortal Thor are also great.
bytecaster: Calling Hulk immortal feels redundant
youcantlistentobuttons: uh oh! BIG!
charcharmunr: @bytecaster I mean Immortal Hulk very definitively is what established "No he literally cannot die".
djalternative: Absolute Martain Manhunter requires you to physically interract with the comic to tell its story. It's really radical.
SkaespearesBoys: Read Al Ewing’s Defenders and Defenders Beyond
kumatsu: 4GG "You Win"
theamc2000: gain 3 etb
keyforgealchemist: Daredevil: Born Again by Frank Miller and Daredevil by Brian Michael Bendis and Alex Maleev are great
charcharmunr: I mean, there was a strictly better Dreadmaw (at mythic) in the set Dreadmaw came out in.
MegaDosX: !card the colossal dreadmaw
LRRbot: The Colossal Dreadmaw [4GG] | Legendary Creature — Dinosaur [6/6] | Trample / You may cast creature cards from your hand as though they were the card Colossal Dreadmaw.
djalternative: Also, Absolute Wonder Woman is fantastic
Xed_Regulus: James, if you want a good Marvel trade, get Vision by Tom King
Bruceski: Daredevil punches a dinosaur
raulghoulia: that lawyer just condemned a Brontosaurus to death!
boyesie: Marvel, i recommend Death of Wolverine, Planet Hulk and World War Hulk, DC i recommend any Constantine/Hellblazer, and Blackest night/Brightest day, for non 'big 2' then the James Bond comics from Dynamite
bytecaster: No, no, Aerith was in Final Fantasy
charcharmunr: Ares could probably be printed the same for a DC set, I feel.
lightfut: Gigantosaurus but trample
BrowneePointz: im assuming you’ve read Fraction’s Hawkeye
BrowneePointz: cuz Matt
wedge_x: ^
djalternative: Hawkeye, My Life as a Weapon is great
charcharmunr: And Lucky's in the art for it too.
theamc2000: did you call him Fratt Maction?
kumatsu: Hawkeye's Bow also has Pizza Dog
Mr_Horrible: "It can't be that... that feels too silly"
theymerLoviatar: I've started entering Discord calls with James's bad words
Mr_Horrible: oh dear
bytecaster: Oh no
MegaDosX: Whoops
wedge_x: Matt would have found it hilarious, fwiw
bytecaster: Motification does not care about audience size
BrowneePointz: Also Runaways is very good and we got most of them in Jumpstart
wedge_x: oh, I was there too LOL
djalternative: if you want fantastic recent X-Men, I can't recommend House of X/Powers of X enough. It's what started a really cool era
Mr_Horrible: "With a name like Strucker, you KNOW he's gotta be good!"
kumatsu: I will always be thankful I wasn't the judge that accidentally called a Hearthstone Pro Tour a Magic event
charcharmunr: @BrowneePointz I have to imagine at least one of them will show up again. Probably Nico, if any of them.
BrowneePointz: I THINK Runaways was Brian K Vaughan
protojman: Fratt Maction is going to live in my head now thanks
ArdCollider: Fraction's survived, I promise. :D
Voidhawk42: That's the sound of US federal violence alright!
104 raiders from SergeYager have joined!
hyalopterous: Hi Serge!
charcharmunr: Speaking of judges, hi Serge.
exeJayce: hey, Serge!
MungoDude: sergeBongo
MegaDosX: Speaking of judges
raulghoulia: @BrowneePointz Vaughn and then Whedon and then Rainbow Rowell
SergeYager: devil??
joallthedogs: sergeBongo sergeBongo sergeBongo
Mr_Horrible: lol
Barb4rian: sergeBongo sergeBongo sergeBongo
bytecaster: Serge, I hear you ruined worlds
kumatsu: Serge out here giving bad rulings
insanecat6mtg: sergeBongo sergeBongo sergeBongo
MegaDosX: lrrJUDGECALL
SergeYager: #blessed
Mr_Horrible: whaddup brew crew
djalternative: Also, Wonder Woman Dead Earth by Daniel Warren Johnson is a great single book to read
Aarek: lrrJUDGECALL
MegaDosX: Yeah Serge how could you screw up so badly at Worlds?
BrowneePointz: Mephisto, Sephisto, their names even rhyme!
CaptainSpam: Did you let Snerge out into the real world?
Musicsquid: In the season of marvel things I’m watching Endgame tonight for the first time ever and sadly approaching the end of Countdown To Infinity
TehAmelie: times like these, i'm happy i replaced that expression with "speak of the angels"
bytecaster: Maybe they are face blind but also very judgemental?
Mr_Horrible: "please visit an optometrist"
MegaDosX: Should've gone to Specsavers
SolarBlitz1: Thor judged worlds?!
kumatsu: I think the last time I saw Nelson at a largescale event as a judge was... 2018?
djsombrero: has anyone from LLR been a celebrity judge or something at any PTQ or any sanctioned event?
djalternative: so Serge, when are you going to judge Worlds?
kumatsu: there was the Conspiracy reveal draft
EJGRgunner: Cool hat
Stavaro : WhatsApp is a universe you like to see in magic? Hope to see you guys at magiccon Amsterdam. Greetings from the netherlands. Stijn
Mr_Horrible: the odd fact that Andy Serkis is tangentially featured in 2 different UBs
BrowneePointz: oh yea and if you haven’t James, while frank miller is a douche, his Daredevil run is legendary for a reason
VanRedd: This new Marvel set has me considering going out and getting back into Magic
bytecaster: That is what UB is designed to do!
youcantlistentobuttons: That's the GOAL
exeJayce: I want to get into Magic and start collecting, but oh MAN the price tag. That's why I watch you guys instead LMAO
bytecaster: Don't let the devil tempt you!
hyalopterous: I look forward to Graham's Vlog for Amsterdam
TheAinMAP: https://www.twitch.tv/loadingreadyrun/clip/AntediluvianTardyLocustNerfRedBlaster-lx6elBtVmEbPRppK
charcharmunr: Apparently lapsed players are one of the biggest audiences for UB sets.
BrowneePointz: it also helps that this set is just kinda rad and interesting
bytecaster: Getting rid of Strucker is always a strong play
Mr_Horrible: but Graham no, I love his jams and jellies
charcharmunr: @BrowneePointz But Reddit said that the number of legends means limited is unplayable.
RatherLargeToad: That can’t be right. I’ve been told by content created a that no one likes UB OSFrog
kumatsu: now that things are actually announced, I head to Disneyland tomorrow to judge a prerelease AT the park (my life continues to be weird)
BrowneePointz: like beyond the ip attachment for me, this format just seems good
MegaDosX: Cool spell, opponent
djsombrero: I don’t like UB but I gotta say I do like the Krang from the ninja turtles set.
Mr_Horrible: @kumatsu in an air-conditioned venue, I hope
kumatsu: no, for Magic
BrowneePointz: for this I think
charcharmunr: No, they're doing a Magic prerelease for this set at Disneyland.
RatherLargeToad: oh, that would be super cool
charcharmunr: There's promos and everything, yeah.
youcantlistentobuttons: yes
BrowneePointz: yep
kumatsu: yep
BrowneePointz: 2 of them?
bytecaster: Sounds very Disney
theymerLoviatar: Most expensive prerelease ever, then?
Mr_Horrible: dire
BrowneePointz: I think
charcharmunr: Yeah, there's a Shuri, Command Tower (as one of the rides) and Loki.
kumatsu: it's a Command Tower of the Guardians of the Galaxy ride
Lord_Hosk: ohhhhhhh
WordAnotherWord: there's a promo that's available at a couple places, including the parks
youcantlistentobuttons: Park exclusive
SolarBlitz1: Are they the same as the Amsterdam Secret lair promos?
youcantlistentobuttons: or event specific
wedge_x: two-finger point only, please
bytecaster: No looking like Peter Parker!
Desdae: There is a Loki, Shuri, and Command Tower, if I remember correctly
kumatsu: ye 1 sec
NorthArc: https://magic.gg/news/celebrate-marvel-super-heroes-this-summer
kumatsu: ^
bytecaster: Oh no, our Kang conquered
Mr_Horrible: Crime Stretch
charcharmunr: Yeah, there's Command Tower, and a Loki and Shuri promo.
kumatsu: bad news James
Mr_Horrible: oh dear
kumatsu: Disney retail stores kinda don't exist outside of Disney Parks
Mr_Horrible: also can't power up on Kang's bonus turn
Mr_Horrible: but uhhhh
EJGRgunner: Dear Drs. LRR, as the players with the most experience with the new Universes Beyond: Marvel Super Heroes for Magic: The Gathering, a Deckmaster card game, outside of those who may have playtested the set for Wizards of the Coast, a Hasbro subsidiary, I wanted to ask you an important question: do you cream rinse your hair?
charcharmunr: There's a Loki promo with a bisexual rainbow in the art, which feels right.
bytecaster: As long as it's only fancy promos, go nuts, I say
Lord_Hosk: Wait... Let me creep on Matts Instagram and find when he was doing the hawkeye cosplay run and put that on a card... BRB
Thefluffiestguineapig: They did shut down the Disney retail stores that existed outside the parks
BrowneePointz: Disney parks for the Guardians Tower Command Tower and Loki, D23 for the Shuri
Mr_Horrible: but also I have to root for Taskmaster now, sorry Graham
BrowneePointz: I think
kumatsu: @BrowneePointz Loki should be at MC Amsterdam
BrowneePointz: that Shuri is gonna be expensive
djalternative: They put Greg Davis on a card?
kumatsu: and Victor's at the Park to sign it on Friday
charcharmunr: @djalternative ...I feel like, given Taskmaster's character, he's definitely aware of the show and feels annoyed by it.
bytecaster: They sure are going all out
raulghoulia: von ddom?
BrowneePointz: i bet Taskmaster loves Taskmaster
BrowneePointz: victor adame minguez
charcharmunr: My favourite Taskmaster bit was him faking having learned Magic from Doc Strange only to shoot somebody while they were distracted.
charcharmunr: He even said "Domain Expansion: Gun".
Thefluffiestguineapig: No one would accuse Doom of being awesome
MegaDosX: It absorbs keywords as counters
djsombrero: the next big thing is people finding synergy with the Spider-Man card set I bet.
BrowneePointz: absorbs keywords and gets bigger for each one absorbed
Sogheim: it's the Amazo of Marvel, right?
ghizmou: mardu it
Mr_Horrible: hmm I wonder
charcharmunr: Thor and Mjolnir... Wonder if those go together...
Dog_of_Myth: Boros it is
BrowneePointz: and a Bucky!
MegaDosX: Boros splashing black maybe
kumatsu: I got Wings of Freedom and Captain America's Shield earlier and it was GREAT
Mr_Horrible: @charcharmunr we even have confirmation they're a combo!
youcantlistentobuttons: Holy Mardu Batman.
Thefluffiestguineapig: Oh well Boros
lamina5432: mardoin it
Cetaceni: there's just no way to tell what colors to use for this deck
DAC169: Boros, or Mardu?
charcharmunr: Boros heroes (and also Bucky who's not a Hero in this card).
Barb4rian: Windmill slam mono-green obviously
youcantlistentobuttons: you have the baxter building as well
Cetaceni: kree sentinel can mana fix
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Cetaceni If it isn't removed
Desdae: Does Abomination get in?
Desdae: Just as a 3R
Cetaceni: @Thefluffiestguineapig what do you mean removed? from hand?
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Cetaceni Sorry, countered. My brain is melting
Cetaceni: its a cycle ability though
charcharmunr: Quinjet is also fixing of sorts.
charcharmunr: It's SO dependable.
Thefluffiestguineapig: I've been playing so much Alchemy lately
Xed_Regulus: Thor? Hit really hard
Dog_of_Myth: Thor is a bomb
youcantlistentobuttons: How many power up cards do you have?
charcharmunr: Does Wonder Man do much in this deck?
EvilBadman: 4/4 flier for 5 that get bigger seems ok
EJGRgunner: Dear Drs. LRR: Given at this point your literal decades of experience building limited and/or sealed decks, as well as your experience in dozens of Magic sets, I wanted to ask you: What's on the other side of James' hat?
charcharmunr: Hey he could just be a 9 mana 8/8 flier.
Criticvs_Failivs subscribed with Prime. They've subscribed for 58 months!
LRRbot: lrrSPOT Thanks for subscribing, Criticvs_Failivs! (Today's storm count: 22)
charcharmunr: Dang.
ghizmou: P for Player
theymerLoviatar: This stream is brought to you by: The Letter P
Voidhawk42: "Today's early access is sponsored by the letter P"
EJGRgunner: I enjoy that I've developed a bit that amuses you
djalternative: you don't have a hat with the letter G on it, Graham?
thedepthandbreadthofseth: Oh, I thought you were a Pirates fan.
wandering_t: is it for the silent p in Pturner
charcharmunr: You really need to give Sam a shield, which feels flavourful.
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Voidhawk42 P for pffffffffft
Bruceski: Turtles had animations
charcharmunr: Omenpaths was neat as a concept, but it was very... Awkward and unfocused-feeling.
WordAnotherWord: omenpaths 2 would've been SO many cards to cover all of this
theamc2000: through the omen paths also had the issue of how they hell do we add spiders to people characters
ContingentCat: yay not having to learn lol
MegaDosX: RIP your board
charcharmunr: Oh, you're boned.
Thefluffiestguineapig: Spidersmeng?
Xed_Regulus: No! Not D-Man!
charcharmunr: MODOK doing what he was designed for.
MegaDosX: MODOK seems good *nod nod*
Ghostwispher: MODOK is such a beating
Thefluffiestguineapig: How many formats is MODOK banned in already?
Ghostwispher: @Thefluffiestguineapig hopefully sealed Kappa
MegaDosX: @Thefluffiestguineapig Kamigawa Block Pauper Tiny Leaders
charcharmunr: Thor Smash...?
drexciya808: that enchantment seems stronk
theamc2000: did you know Kev walker drew a marvel comic semi recently
charcharmunr: That feels like it'd realistically be a downgrade for Thor.
charcharmunr: @theamc2000 He's a pretty long-time Marvel artist.
DAC169: I say thee, I am IronThor!
ContingentCat: I can't imagine that would fit well
drexciya808: reminds me of that annoying fungus dino one heh
Voidhawk42: There was that one time that things were Bad(tm) so Odin gave Tony Stark access to the Asgard forges, and gave all the avengers Mjolnir-tier weaponry
charcharmunr: @Voidhawk42 Every so often it becomes clear that Odin really could've done so much more to be helpful.
Bruceski: Spiderman dying to a widow's bite...
drexciya808: gg
MegaDosX: Thor in an Iron Man suit would be neat though
MegaDosX: I'm guessing that never happened in the comics?
itsZenegos: I listen and it doesnt sound like magic, I watch and it looks like magic LUL
charcharmunr: @MegaDosX Must've happened at some point, like when Thor's lost Mjolnir.
BatDragonManDog: thor seems like a guy that doesn't need the suit
Voidhawk42: @charcharmunr TBF, handing out superweapons to untrustworthy humans sounds like a fast way to get Earth exploded
drexciya808: lost in bloomburrow sealed right now .. the rat race
Lord_Hosk: Was War Machine just in the Iron Man suit, or was war Machine inside the War Machine Suit wrapped in the Iron Man Suit?
charcharmunr: A lot of people get random Iron Man suits now and then. Reed Richards had one for a moment. It was weird.
cmdrzellgaudis watched 225 consecutive streams and sparked a watch streak!
woot
drexciya808: SeemsGood
idontgetmyrealname: WAIT THAT IS AN OPTION?!?!
GirlPainting: On what earth number dos the moonbase sit?
CaptainSpam watched 365 consecutive streams and sparked a watch streak!
Look, I swear I'm not proud of this...
drexciya808: full orbit
Juliamon: Nobody does
charcharmunr: Twitch just made up watch streaks for some reason.
dolphgrim: Twitch accuses me of not watching every stream. 😥
Juliamon: "sparked a watch streak" means "clicked a button"
djalternative: get your friends to use their prime subs
itsZenegos: watch streaks are just being here for at least 5mins each consecutive stream
Aarek: Yeah I've started getting "hey if you don't watch a vod you'll lose your streak" notifications
Foxmar320: Ive been getting those a lot
charcharmunr: I think the watch streak stuff is probably one of the stupidest changes they've made.
Bruceski: Speaking of Twitch doing weird stuff, after seeing the AI summaries on every channel for a few hours I'm now only seeing it on some of them. Did Twitch actually add an unliked feature and also allow people to turn it off?
charcharmunr: It'd be one thing if it was just there, but REMINDERS of it feels so bad.
Pywodwagon: I make a solemn vow I will never get more than like a 4 streak
djalternative: I just have those notifications turned off
ContingentCat: I just leave this tab open so I get ridiculous streaks going
Juliamon: Bruceski Yeah, you can disable 'em
GirlPainting: Fun fact: the alspark generated decepticons out of earth technologie, because modern technologie was created by reverse engeneering the frozen megatron.
drexciya808: permitting notifications for twitch is the camel’s nose under the tent
EvilBadman: Mute the tab, not the video player, if you do ;)
lamina5432: my favorite is me watching a stream but muting it to do something else and coming back to it ended, but then twitch says oh no your watch streak ended
Desdae: Remember to mute the tab not the player
Bruceski: @Juliamon Surprisingly accomodating of them.

rosesmcgee: Why do I hear Graham? Oh, the stream was still up.
KeytarCat: I love the "All of their views are real, how tf do they do that??" stories G tells
Juliamon: I never get a watch streak because I watch in a popout window which doesn't count
ContingentCat: it's 4:20 somewhere
Desdae: Abomination for 7 with pounce
kumatsu: oh you take the high viewer, and I'll take the low viewer, and I'll make Twitch Partner aFOOOOOORE yeeeee
Sogheim: I think the power up mechanic is great, it gives the James land curse some utility
GirlPainting: Hey LoadingReadyRun , with the new Among Us series, would you consider making another among us crossing the streams? maybe the 3d version?
MegaDosX: Welp.
drexciya808: big draws

Pywodwagon: this is not very skibidi rizz of them
