Topic | Have you moved due to your state's/city's/county's reaction to Covid? |
MagnusX 02/16/21 1:07:19 PM #12 | Live on a sparsely populated island in Canada where masks have been mandated since August and most people are listening. We've had less than a thousand cases total, including an ongoing outbreak. So happy the randomness of birth placed me here and not the US. Your country is fucking insane. |

Topic | Marvel Cinematic Universe television shows |
MagnusX 02/15/21 9:23:52 AM #14 | Tenlaar posted... Why would the shows being referenced in the movies make them same universe but not the movies being references in the shows? And by "except one character in Endgame" do you mean the part where the movie directly shows the Agent Carter stuff?Alrighty. So, when the MCU became the MCU after a couple movies, Feige and co did not have ownership of all Marvel stuff. Marvel Television was a seperate entity from Marvel Studios. MT created AoS and AC on network TV as part of the MCU because they could, and they are technically MCU. Same thing for Netflix, who partnered with MT. However, you really have to look at the big picture here. AoS and AC never really deal with anything in the movies, and there is only one scene in one movie that references a show. Aside from a newspaper clipping in the background of one early episode, nothing in the Netflix shows reference the movies, and the movies do not reference those shows at all. And the reason for that is because RebelElite791 posted... Word of god has said they arent canon Kevin Feige is the primary creator and producer of the MCU and he has been fairly open about his disdain for those shows and not counting any of them as canon. MT finally folded in December 2019, putting control of Marvel shows back to MS and under Feige through Disney+. Hence WandaVision, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, etc. At least for me, part of the appeal of the MCU is how insanely interconnected absolutely everything is. Why would you want to watch literally hundreds of episodes that are only loosely connected at best and outright ignored 99.9% of the time? Like, watch whatever you wanna watch of course, but don't expect to gain any knowledge of the shared universe. If your goal is to be in the MCU world, stick to the movies and Disney+ shows going foward. Though again, |
Topic | Marvel Cinematic Universe television shows |
MagnusX 02/15/21 6:18:03 AM #3 | None of the Netflix shows are really MCU as of now Agents of Shield and Agent Carter are barely MCU and aren't referenced in the movies except one character in Endgame. IMO, only the stuff Feige counts is full canon MCU, so the movies and the Disney+ shows. |
Topic | Do you like red or white wine more? And, which kind specifically? |
MagnusX 02/13/21 10:08:57 PM #7 | Generally enjoy red more; a Cotes du Rhone/GSM or Chianti/Sangiovese tend to be my favourites. If I'm having a steak, maybe an American Cab or Australian Shiraz. I do enjoy a New Zealand Sauv Blanc as well. |
Topic | Marvel Prediction - so are Wanda and Spoilers going to be the same person? |
MagnusX 02/13/21 9:37:53 AM #5 | Naw, Wanda is gonna go full House of M and become Scarlet Witch. I'm guessing Fassbender will be pulled in as his Magneto to guide her into evil. Though similar, she won't be Jean Grey/Phoenix. That X-Men story will be told later, as this show is how the MCU gets mutants. pogo_rabid posted...

"instrument" in the sense he's using refers to something external from the body. the voice, being internal, does not fit that definitionAnd I'm expecting a source that backs up the claim that an instrument has to be external from the body, a claim that is contradictory to most of musical history. |

Topic | Your favorite Police song? |
MagnusX 02/05/21 11:55:54 PM #2 | Always hard to name one, but gotta be King of Pain. Back in 2008 my girlfriend won a local contest for a trip to Boston to see The Police on the Reunion Tour, which was the fifth last show they've performed to date, and a Red Sox game. It was our first big trip together and is def part of the reason we travel for concerts. Though I didn't especially know it before, when I hear King of Pain I can feel the air from the show - outside in an amphitheatre - the concrete under my feet, the metal bar in front of our seats, the people dancing around us... powerful memory. So yeah, that. Syncronicity II and Walking on the Moon are also dope. |

Topic | Its crazy to me how so few people on here have a desire to raise a family |
MagnusX 01/31/21 4:59:49 PM #13 | We have been engaged for a bunch of years and haven't gotten married because we keep travelling every summer. We also own two vehicles and make more than the median household income for our province. Our only debt is 2/3 of a mortgage. We could definitely afford kids, but the things we do to enjoy life couldn't. I don't care about family lines or having offspring carry my DNA. I want to enjoy our very brief time on this planet to the maximum and devoting everything to kids is almost the polar opposite of a fulfilling life to me. |
Topic | If all drugs were legal, would you do any drug you don't currently use? |
MagnusX 01/31/21 3:04:28 PM #18 | Cannabis is federally legal here in Canada, but I've smoked it for a couple years prior. I would probably set up a quarterly mushroom sesh with some friends, and try LSD. I could see myself having it two times a year. saspa posted... Life's moments are too precious to be shit-faced through it imoIn your opinion, having never actually experienced it. I absolutely understand not wanting to alter your brain chemistry - which you do with sugar or caffeine - but unless you've done it, you truly cannot understand it. I've done a bunch of cool shit in my life, and cannabis consumption has never made me forget any of it. I think it's made some moments noticeably more memorable for me. Plus, I tend to pay much more attention to the small things (leaves on trees, stillness in a trail, shadows from stuff, etc). ie you just don't get it, maaaaaaaan Edit: drank a whole bunch from 19-25. Basically stopped when I started cannabis. Alcohol was fun to party but way too numbing for me. Cannabis was like the opposite in that it accented stimuli instead of dulling it. |

Topic | CE cat owners..... do your cats scratch you? |
MagnusX 01/19/21 7:24:35 PM #36 | Lived with cats my whole life and absolutely feel a connection to them, and they tend to warm up to me quickly. The two cats we adopted once we bought our house - a calico kitten and then a six year old tabby a month later - have lightly to moderately scratched me probably about five to eight times combined in the eight years. But like I said, I feel like I know when to not consume their personal space. We can cut their claws easily and groom them easily (love the Furminator). The fourteen year old tabby sleeps between our pillows and the eight year old calico loves to sleep under a blanket on your legs or next to them. She also loves to curl up around my partner's neck while she walks around the house, and often licks as a form of affection. My suggestions to reduce the likelihood of getting scratched are: Most importantly, treat them as a living being deserving of your love. You are the sole provider for that life and though some mornings you just don't want to get up to feed them or to have to scoop the litter or bring them to the vet for a checkup, but that's the price you should expect to pay to literally own another life. They will treat you with love if you do the same. Let them smell your hand and rub their face on it first. After a couple of those, they'll be more okay with head rubs and then back rubs. Eventually you'll be able to rub just above their tails. Some cats don't like this a lot, but some fucking love getting scratches there. And most of the cats in my life eventually love stomach rubs. Occasionally lightly touch the back of their paws and get them used to you gently holding their paws as early as possible. It makes clipping claws waaaay easier. Plus, their pads have a lot of sensory info, and it's nice when you can rub their paw beans and they know you won't hurt them. Don't play rough with your cats directly with your hands - use a string or laser or whatever. Your cats should only associate your hands with pets and food, not claws and teeth. Give them catnip. It stimulates them and it's pretty damn fun. Let them sleep on or in your bed. Like all animals, you bond significantly when you sleep together. Yeah. |

I go to a restaurant to have someone make me food that I generally wouldn't make myself at home. I go to a store to purchase things. The closest you can get with that analogy is if restaurants made you pay with a self checkout after you're done instead of having a server bring a pinpad to your table. Which I really wouldn't care about either. |

MagnusX 01/11/21 2:34:37 PM #8 | I was saying since season 2 that Dany would break bad in a big way with them dragons. It was fairly obvious, and every season cemented it more. I legit don't see how people were surprised. That said, CapnMuffin posted... IMO Jaime should have left to meet with Cersei solely to try and convince her to surrender, and then Daenarys gets betrayed when Cersei finds out about how they plan to stand down when they hear the bells. She decides to use the bells as a trap, simultaneously pulling her brothers in as unwitting co-conspirators. Then kind of escalate it from there. Maybe have Jaime be the one to put her down eventually. this is def better than the actual ending. |

Topic | Is there any chance Disney will renew those Netflix Marvel shows like Daredevil? |
MagnusX 01/07/21 10:44:26 PM #17 | Tenlaar posted... What do you mean by that? There is an article shown in Daredevil that specifically says "Battle of NY" with a picture of one of the leviathans, and a picture of The Hulk from his fight in Harlem.Is that the first episode? That is the only time it's called that, every other time and in every other show they call it "the incident", likely because Feige did not want the exact same language used. Again, many similarities does not make it MCU and no one has ever officially said so. |
