In the comments to these weekly posts (and only these posts), it's your chance to go as off topic as you like.

Talk about non-comics stuff, thread derail, and just generally chat among yourselves.

The intent of these posts is to chat and have some fun and, sure, vent a little as required. Reasoned debate is fine, as always, but if you have to ask if something is going over the line, think carefully before posting please.

Normal board rules about conduct and behaviour still apply, of course.

It's been suggested that, if discussing spoilers for recent media events, it might be advisable to consider using the rot13 method to prevent other members seeing spoilers in passing.

The world situation is the world situation. If you're following the news, you know it as much as I do, if you're not, then there are better sources than scans_daily. But please, no doomscrolling, for your own sake.

In the latest episode of the world's least amusing sitcom, the US Attorney for Washington, Jeanine Pirro withdrew criminal charges relating to the "Vandalism" of the Reflecting Pool, admitting it was down to a crap repair job. POTUS 47 however, continued to claim that it WAS vandalism because you know how much he dislikes it when little things like "facts" disagree with his worldview.

I finally caught "Masters of the Universe", and I wanted to like it so much more than I did, because they seem to want to undercut the drama at every moment and they undercut it with some winceworthy comedy (The "Taika Waititi Effect" as I like to call it). That and the fact that Eternians seem so keen to be a bunch of dicks to Adam (who doesn't do much to help himself at times, but who is basically someone cast out into a dimensional vortex all by himself when he was ten and had to exist in a world that's completely unlike his won, and being glared at a lot for having accidentally lost the thing everyone was obsessed with BECAUSE HE WAS TEN YEARS OLD and in a damned DIMENSIONAL VORTEX). Most of the cast do their best, but it's so frustrating because there's a much more interesting movie just under the surface of the one we got.

Batman Caped Crusader season 2 dropped, but I'll make a separate discussion thread for that.
