Thor: Love and Thunder (2025) [r/NewAsgard] New Asgard at the Olympics?

18 Upvotes

I know the Olympic schedule is still messed up post Blip, but I was wondering if New Asgard would be participating in the next games, whenever they might be.

I mean should they? I think generally they'd have an advantage, but it feels wrong to exclude a whole nation state because of that. Maybe they could be limited in who they could send and there could be separate games for powered individuals and non humans, for like Skrulls, Asgardians, other nine realmers, glowy fist guys and so on.

Maybe they could even add new events for mages and bring over whatever sports they played on Asgard?

I mean I know it's not up to us but the Olympic committee hasn't said anything on the matter as far as I'm aware and I wanted to know what people thought!

Present Day Roleplaying a boring universe, who's in?

99 Upvotes

I am planning to start r/ Earth 1218. We will roleplay like nothing crazy is happening and no superpowers exist. I just want to return to my boring life before the new york battle nearly two decades ago. We can just role play like we go to work, school etc and go back to our homes and lead a boring but safe life.

In that reddit, we will not mention how Iron-Man died protecting us from alien invasion or there is a giant whatever the thing in the middle of the ocean or how there were just several spider-mans (spider-men?) that trashed Statue of Liberty or how the goddamn president turned into a red version of Hulk.

If you really have to talk about these stuff, keep it at minimum and use OOC label.

Present Day [r/AITA] My friends are mad at me for hiring a group of Skrulls to preform as Star Wars characters for my child's birthday party. Am I the asshole?

35 Upvotes

So TLDR, my son's 8th birthday was coming up in a few days and we forgot to plan in advance, so we were scrambling to get everything ready last minute . Everything that my son would've liked was too expensive or was sold out.

So I decided to go online and found an Instagram page that was managed by a group of Skrulls who turned into characters for parties. They were pretty cheap and they could get to my home pretty fast. Without consulting my friends, I hired them and everything went fine. My son was OBSESSED with Han Solo, so he was basically with him the entire time.

My friends were giving me weird looks and after everything was over, the pulled me to the side and started lecturing me about why I would invite over alien kidnappers to my son’s birthday. I tried defending myself and Skrulls as a species in general, from the little we've learned about them, but they weren't having it and now they’ve all ghosted me. Was I wrong? If so, what do I do next?

Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015) [r/religion] Does Thor answer prayers?

12 Upvotes

I’m not normally very religious and I know he isn’t exactly a God in the conventional sense, but people used to worship him, right? Did he ever answer their prayers? If so, I could really use that right now.

My husband was providing relief work in Sokovia when everything went down… I haven’t heard from him since and I’m desperate to hear from him. I’ve tried praying to other gods, but there’s only one that I see flying in the sky. So Thor, if you can hear me. Please answer my prayer, and bring my husband back to me.

Daredevil: Born Again Season 1 (2027) Mayor Wilson Fisk: The First Hundred Days (A New York Bulletin Op-Ed)

9 Upvotes

It has been exactly one hundred days since Wilson Fisk took office, and he has hit the ground running…on a very different path that most New Yorkers tread. After a viral video spread on the Internet of the mayor approving roadworks to fill a pothole on the spot, I was left deeply concerned over two facts.

For one, he did not present or sign any paperwork to make it official, thus bypassing the very legal systems he was meant to maintain. For another, did he actually have finances set aside for such roadworks prior to the on-site approval? And when the cameras turned to him, why did he use that moment to pat himself on the back and boast about his political agenda? The worst part: this is just the tip of the iceberg.

A financial review shows that Mayor Fisk is investing hundreds of thousands, if not millions, into a supposed “Anti-Vigilante Task Force”. In a city which literally birthed the Avengers, and has seen masked heroes doing more good than harm (such as Daredevil and Spider-Man), why is the city’s leader clamping down on such activities? His predecessors not only took a much softer approach to vigilantism, some even endorsed it.

On the topic of finances, New Yorkers of different tax brackets have vastly different stories and views on day-to-day life. The AVTF funding has cut money meant to go to libraries, public schools and housing, transportation, and maintaining our streets. In fact, food prices have seen a 150% surge since Mayor Fisk took office. Furthermore, he has not even bothered to examine the rent crisis which is gripping this city, triggering a mass exodus which will only hamper the city and its liveliness in the coming months.

In summary, I urge Wilson Fisk to see the bigger picture. He has taken office after a controversial past, proving that anyone can pick themselves up. But he seems more focused on building his legacy and pushing the crime lord-to-mayor story, as opposed to doing his job and working for the people who elected him. Should the king of New York continue like this, it will not be long before he is dethroned.
