Americans would want the president to make a deal for her release and as we all know we don't make deal... Very bad angle on the writing staff they should know better.

Couple things..

There are female soldiers already under the threat of capture.

Retaliation is in the future, it's based on RoC, so the rules more then likely have changed by then.

Like I said in the news thread about it, it's name association only.

The general movie going public associates a Navy SEaL with being a bad-ass thanks to things like Act of Valor, Osama Bin Laden, video games. It's a recognizable name that anyone, even without any military knowledge, knows and perceives a certain way.

Navy SEaL = bad-ass, Lady Jaye = Navy SEaL, Lady Jaye = bad-ass

Instant description of what her character is capable of.

"Lady Jaye is a SEaL, she can keep pace with Roadblock and kick all kinds of ass"



Movies are made for the general public who have a wide range of knowledge, or lack of in some cases, and things like this aren't meant to be accurate so much as convey a sense of definition.

Is there any major MU characters that haven't been produced/previewed at cons? Ones that have been around for decades. Wasp, Doc Oc, Dazzler and Kingpin come to mind. I'm sure there are several X people and a few Inhumans still missing.

Not Joe related but I'm trying to get the new wave of Sesame Street playskool 2-packs for my niece, for Christmas. Anyone seen these in their toy hunting? Wondering if they popped up in major retailers yet.
Looking for Oscar&Elmo, Big Bird&Snuffaluffagus, Grover&some red guy.

So very true.

Mike, I'm looking for them for my daughter. I'll get doubles for you when I see them.

Beam, I figured you'd post that here, I know you are a fellow Arker, figured you'd ninja me.


I don't need acceptance from anyone, I am a hideous beast hunted by torch carrying villagers.
That thread is everything everyone says about it, but I use it as a testing grounds for insanity before I post it here. Or when Netkid is not around to fu<k with.

I'll find an example...

One of them made a crack about using safe words in their thread during inter bro horse play sessions.

I remarked...




I have a safe word to, but never use it. I'm pretty gentle with myself and don't usually need the safe word. One time I used it, but I didn't stop right away and I thought I was going to rape me.

So I came up with the word DIABETES as my safe word, and to make sure I hear myself if I have to say it, I say it just like my hero, Wilford Brimley.

Off the top of my head (excluding those that can have multiple costumes like Kitty Pryde):

Avengers: Wasp, Tigra, Black Knight,

Inhumans: (can't remember the 3 pack but think it's Medusa, Black Bolt, Gorgon): Karnak, Crystal, Triton

X-Men: Dazzler, Rogue, Longshot, Gambit, Domino

Misc: Doc Ock, Kingpin, any of the Thunderbolts, any of the New Warriors,

What's wrong with the MU thread? We're friendly in there.
