James turning down the WB promo based on him not wanting to set up a live stream is so freaking funny.

[@christophercomtois7175]

Omg that dog got the last word.

[@aidanrogers4438]

What Mason was talking about with ‘trap streets’ in the Marvel Police bit is more commonly known as ‘paper towns’. Cartographers would add in a fake town to their maps of countries or large regions so if anyone stole their map work and published it as their own, the original author would then use the paper town to prove it’s been stolen.

Poggers comes from pogchamp which is from a video where an old content creator made the pogchamp face. The video was an ad for pogs

Um....(pushes up glasses) it's a major plot point in Cap 2 that Natasha is on the boat to do spy work for Fury. She steals data that Fury wants from the bad guys while Steve is there to distract the muscle. This causes Cap to question oversight in the later released movie Cap Civ War... Spy confirmed.

Poggers is related to pogs. It's a reference to a face a streamer made when a camera fell during a pog game.

[@himynamelscolin]

12:01 they’re doing the trick tyrion did to pycelle 😂😂😂😂

[@NightmareproductionsOFFICIAL]

I kinda think we’ll get a Captain Carter animated series. Like you could actually do a few episodes in that universe I think like Steve being the hydra stomper after she is frozen. He could be abducted by hydra in the armour and turned into a winter soldier kinda thing. Then when she meets him in what if he could be like an evil Captain America. Also explore how that world is now there’s a kind of iron man back in the 1940s.

[@chainyrabbit]

Map Men reference!

[@asagiannini941]

So Prophet is a lot like Supreme in that when a good creator came in and rebuilt it from the ground up, it suddenly worked. I can't recommend the Prophet reboot comic enough. It abandons the trappings of the superheroes to tell a story millions of years in the future in which John Prophet has been cloned into a legion of warriors and deals with alien life far stranger and more creative than anything else i've seen. It's almost an anthology series with different artists coming in to tell one-off prophet stories many of which read like Conan the Barbarian by way of Dune. Seriously, the whole series is 5 volumes and it's perhaps the most underrated comic of the last twenty years.
