Trump: “I don’t think there’s anything going to get me in heaven. I think I’m not maybe heaven bound.

“I’m not sure I’ll make heaven, but I’ve made life a lot better for a lot of people.”

He’s been ruminating on his mortality a lot recently. Never used to. Knows something we don’t maybe.

No I know he was in the 90s one (although weirdly not in the picture you posted. I stared at it for ages and I can’t see him), I meant specifically in the xmen 97 Disney plus series. Or do we just refer to all of that (old and new) as X-men 97?

Besides the point but was Apocalypse even in X-Men ‘97? Or is that just the name of the sub-line for cartoon stuff

In honour of spooky month, share a 4 word horror story that only someone in your profession would understand.

Was this scene kept when it was localised as Glitter Force, I wonder? I find it hard to believe my daughter didn’t tell me about it if it was.

Despite the errors, I am working my way through the Marvel Transformers comics (starting with the US volumes) and yeah, I see why these are considered the baseline for a lot of people. Miles better than the cartoon

Thought that robot’s head was a tie and you’d drawn an unsettlingly realistic Donkey Kong.

I genuinely have no idea who Glitch is and I’d be delighted to stay that way

Well he did join the DJD

I agree but I can’t help mentally appending “…when doves cry” to the end of it.

Also “Your Idol” is way better than Soda Pop

what's the stupidest/randomest Simpsons quote that lives in your head rent free? Mine is the urge to say "you said go to bread" every time I am about to head to bed.

I have a theory that you can predict the moves Hasbro makes by looking at what the 3P scene did 2-3 years ago. No idea how that aligns with the reality of toy design and production but there’s certainly a lot of coincidences if it doesn’t

Does anyone want the bird Starscream? Because I’ll happily buy Oxtimus Prime

Dr Brainstorm (Joseph England) @drbrainstorm.bsky.social · 1d

As a hobby?
No

Oh - so like for money?
Well…nobody’s paying me to do it

So a hobby then?
Sigh. I guess!?

Dr Brainstorm (Joseph England) @drbrainstorm.bsky.social · 1d

Sigh I know. I just wanted to hope

This is the dumbest and most evil thing I’ve ever read. It’s the sort of thing you’d write as a parody of libertarian beliefs to show how evil you think they are. Please tell me that’s what this is

I think I’ve figured it out.

Someone at Hasbro told them to do a 260USD Tron HasLab but they all hate Jared Leto so they’re intentionally sinking the ship.

It’s the only way this makes sense.
