I think a lot of folks refound their love of X-Men with X-Men 97, and I think that the ones that maybe don't read a lot of comics should read House of X / Powers of X and get floored by the infinite possibility space it implied back when the Krakoan Age launched.

it's always so strange that Ben Affleck is a well-spoken, erudite person because every other aspect of his personality seems like the only words out of his mouth should be slurs muttered through broken teeth
Insights from Ben Affleck on AI:
• AI can help write scenes but can't create full movies.
• Job loss fears are overblown because adoption of new tech is slow; it's hype for startup valuations.
• ChatGPT v5 is ~25% better but costs 4x.
• Users actually preferred v4's sycophancy for companionship.
