I was just thinking that the MCU is good at a lot of things, but new material isn't one of them.

Q: Are there any major MCU characters not based on or references to comics?

ThePopMachineIt is no secret that the vast majority of characters who appear in the MCU are based on characters from the comics. Sometimes it is their name; sometimes it is their appearance. Sometimes an entire character's personality and backstory are imported; sometimes it is very little, leaning toward ...

Like, I was reading about the plot of the Loki TV series, and I heard that there were some TVA employees named Ravonna Renslayer and Mobius M. Mobius. So I thought, well, there is literally no reason for these characters to be based on the comics, right? Their roles seem to have been created for a context specific to the MCU.
Nope! Apparently they both have extensive comics histories, with only a light relation to their MCU roles.

Q: Children's / YA novel and game about travelling back in time via an old tree

ConManI'm looking for a book I read back in school, probably in the period 1991-1996.

@Adamant it's probably the one things not trying to do though
 
8:25 AM
@Marvin hey! I know this one
Looks like I missed the Great Oranging of 2021
 
It was a wondrous time
 
@TheLethalCarrot I'm getting Tale of Two cities vibes, but can't think of a half rhyme for the opposite of wondrous
 
It was the orange times, it was the eyesore times
 
@TheLethalCarrot It was a wondrous time, it was a citrus time
 
That one gave me a good chuckle :D
 
8:35 AM
Stella on the cover there...
 
Rude :P
That's one ugly hound (if such a thing were even possible!)
It looks more like a beagle or harrier to me
 
@TheLethalCarrot it's not even a good resemblance
I just noticed it, and thought I'd try and get a response :p
 
No it's not, a hound that grey in the face but that much colour elsewhere is unheard of :P

Has anybody in here seen Into the woods ?
There's a song in there about taking responsibility, but I cant find it now
 
Actually watched it again last week or so
 
There's one song I found where they all blame each other
I vividly remember it, because they sing it just before killing the Giant's Wife to avoid responsibility?
 
They sing it after the giant's wife warns them I think
This one?
 
@TheLethalCarrot See, from what I remember, they don't blame the witch, and they say they'll take on responsibility for their actions
maybe I hallucinated it?
sort of an after/response to the song
 
They sort of take responsibility afterwards when the witch has her song
 
9:59 AM
@TheLethalCarrot maybe it wasn't part of the song
 
They do the Your Fault song, the witch does her Last Minute song and then there's a brief none songy bit where they kind of take responsibility
 
@TheLethalCarrot kind of being the operative phrasing
 
@TheLethalCarrot Also watched it roughly when it came out, it's pretty forgettable
> Jack: Maybe I shouldn't have stolen from the Giant...
>
> LRRH: Maybe I shouldn't have strayed from the path...
>
> CINDERELLA: Maybe I shouldn't have attended the Ball...
 
LRRH reminds me of LRRR who also has a red cape
@TheLethalCarrot also.... YOINK
 
How did I not realise what LRRH stood for!
Lrrr? Futurama?
 
10:04 AM
@TheLethalCarrot yes
I was really hoping that it was spelt the same and was a super obscure reference

Q: How do the characters in Into the Woods actually take responsibility?

AncientSwordRageTowards the end of the movie, I remember each of the characters sing/discuss taking responsibility for their actions (this is in contrast to the song where they place blame), some dialogue from around that time seems to affirm my memory (although I cannot place an exact quote): Jack: Maybe I sho...

It'll soon be time to choose the topic for the August topic challenge. Currently there's a tie between two proposals beginning with the same two letters: the Elder Scrolls and Elizabeth Moon. More votes welcome!

Q: How does a Klingon enter StoVoKor?

By the end of the episode, Worf has his memories erased and he is taken in by a family friend as Rodek, son of Noggra. As a Klingon, I don't get how Worf was okay doing this. More to t...

Q: If Rick is so nihilistic and and has been shown to be suicidal on more than one occasion, why does he have so many personal defenses?

Quasi_StomachRick seems to think that life has very little meaning, and he has been shown to be depressed and suicidal (at least in early episodes). But he also has all kinds of automatic defense systems for his house, his spaceship-made-of-garbage and his person. If he cares so little about his own life, wh...
