Moon Knight - More Moon Knight Fighting Especially the final battle. - The meeting w the Ennead, Harrow, Khonshu ends in chaos when one of avatars announces that Horus has been slain. (ThoGor tie-in) - Followers of Harrow bind Khonshu which leads to Layla attempting to release and when she gets her Scarlet Scarab powers.
Doctor Strange & Multiverse of Madness
In the whole screenplay the only thing that works & makes sense is using the events as a way to provide introspection of Strange & Palmer’s relationship. Everything else needs to be reworked. The major changes I make are :

• Wanda’s turn to darkness needs to be more gradual. Also needs to be clear that it is directly tied to continual use of the Darkhold. The more it is used, the more corrupt and darker she gets.
• Wanda believes the version of her children created in Westview were kidnapped and are being tortured by Chthun. She has been searching the multiverse one dimension at a time. By draining America Chavez she can instantly search all of them at once.
• MORE parallel universes!
• In a post credit scene we discover that the our 616 Wanda was trapped by a Scarlet Witch from a parallel universe who came here because her version of the Darkhold was destroyed.

Ms Marvel
The style of this show with the added comic graphic elements and the family/community element is absolute perfection. 100% keep.

• Too many possible origins : Clandestine Djini, magic bangle, mutant? Eliminate Clandestine storyline all together.
• Story focus is balancing new super powers w teenage/family/religious life. Agent Deever of Damage Control is main protagonist.
• Finale showdown is after Deever kidnaps Sheikh Abdullah in order to draw out Ms Marvel.

Thor : Love & Thunder
The style and tone did not match the seriousness of the Gorr / Jane Foster cancer storylines. Any humor needs to be dark humor in the “if I don’t laugh I’ll cry” vain. - Movie starts : 500 years ago - Gorr’s family dies. Gorr gets sword. After a montage of some god killings by Gorr he is defeated by Thor, Lady Sif and the Worriors Three. Gorr escapes to the Shadow Realm. - More Gorr butchering gods as he attempts to build the God Bomb using the Pools of Forever. - Lady Sif tells Thor “He is back!” Her arm is magically replaced and she remains to fight along side Thor, Jane and Valkyrie. - The hammer Mjolnir IS the only thing keeping Jane alive. In the end they realize Thor can’t defeat Gorr without using both the hammer and axe. Jane sacrifices herself to defeat Gorr.
She-Hulk : Attorney at Law

• More comic accurate origin. Jennifer prosecuting mobster Nick Trask. His cronies cause car accident (not spaceship) trying to kill her and she gets exposed to Hulk blood.
• Consistent court room setting & fleshed out funny court room staff a la Night Court formula.
• Make it clear the 4th wall breaks are in Jennifer’s head as a way to deal with turning into She-Hulk. After the ridiculous finale and Jennifer has her meeting with K.E.V.I.N. he wraps the conversation by saying, “…but that’s not how it really happened is it?” Jennifer looks confused and we see her having short flashbacks of what actually happened including Leonard Skivorski Jr. (Doc Sampson) accidentally getting exposed to Jennifer’s blood.

Black Panther : Wakanda Forever

• Audiences deserved a better cathartic moment to send off Chadwick Bosman. We needed more time to process and with a more moving tribute including something like an in universe montage of different Bosman moments faded together with gut wrenching music.
• This moves directly into western powers propagandizing internal tensions that every day Wakandans want to oust the monarchy for greater democracy. When western powers are really looking to destabilize the area in order to get at the vibranium. As western militaries amass at Wakanda’s borders a deal is brokered where Wakandan scientists create a tool to help the West search for vibranium in other parts of the world.
• This creates a much more realistic initial confrontation between Namor and the Wakandans.

I have a possible theory that Hilda and Hilbert from Pokemon Black and White will be the protagonists of a sequel Pokemon Legends game set in ancient Unova. This theory is based on the fact that Hilda and Hilbert are nowhere to be seen in Black 2 and White 2, and the only vague detail we get is that 'they are looking for the character N'.
It's possible that Hilda and Hilbert may have also been transported back in time to an ancient Unova, similar to the protagonist in Pokemon Legends of Arceus who travels back in time to ancient Sinnoh. This could be an interesting twist on the Pokemon Legends formula, as it would allow players to explore a new region with familiar characters and potentially encounter new versions of Pokemon from the past and maybe discover the original Dragon or more information about it?
Furthermore, given that Hilda and Hilbert were both skilled trainers in the original Black and White games, it's possible that they could have a prominent role in the new game's storyline. I
Overall, while there is little concrete evidence to suggest that Hilda and Hilbert will be the protagonists of a sequel Pokemon Legends game, the idea is certainly intriguing and could offer a fresh take on the franchise's time-traveling concept. In my opinion, this would be more interesting than Dawn or Lucas traveling back in the past. And this theory is pretty out there but fun to me at least. Please put your input as well!
Marking as spoiler in case if some people don't know the lore.
Also, please let me know if 'region theory' is not the righ flair so that I can change it.

Due to some strange circumstances, I recently had to buy a new car in within a week. Ended up going for a used 2021 GTI S with 20k~ miles, with warranty until 2027 (CPO + last owner bought extended). For reference, I came from a B7 A4 (FWD) with a Stage 1 tune + sway bars that I drove since new. (The Audi multitronic CVT is actually one of the best CVTs I’ve driven and has never given me an issue!)
I originally went into the Acura dealer, and by luck, they had a fully loaded A-Spec, 6 spd manual, Integra. The gizmos were very nice especially coming from a 17yo base Audi. I think the out-the-door price was 45k, or 36 month lease at $600 with $2000 down. The dealer was nice enough to let me test drive the car and run errands with it for a couple hours.
Things I liked about the Integra:

• 6 spd (obvs)
• Lane assist/self driving gizmos
• Sound system is VERY nice
• Shifter feels great (snic snic)
• Clutch is very easy to modulate
• Very insulated on the highway
• Wireless carplay/wireless charging pad

Things I did not like about the Integra

• The color - apex blue pearl - I might have bought it if it was white with a red interior.
• Blacked-out wheels
• Dealer installed stick-on carbon sideskirts and spoiler (10k option! wtf!)
• Wheel offset look weird
• Seats felt hard and had numb butt after just 30min of driving
• My head hits the ceiling in the back seat (5'10)
• Rear hatch rake makes it hard to see out the back
• No analog handbrake
• No rear vents
• Panels were squeaky and plasticky - it still felt like a civic.

I went over to my VW dealership that had a manual Mk8 GTI in stock. Without driving, I immediately hated the plastic bezels and lack of buttons. The shifter felt cheap (I know this is replaceable but still) and the orange peel effect on the bezels were awful. I thought I was going walk out but they had a DSG Mk7.5 on the lot (which I obviously ended up buying)
Things I liked about the GTI (/compared to the teggy)

• Build quality difference was immediately noticeable. Interior just felt model tight and solid
• The seats! Bolsters were way better and not hard on the butt. Also Plaid
• I can sit in the back without killing my neck
• Rear vents
• Steering is way more predictable (Better than a A35 AMG I drove recently)
• 2021 Mk7.5 coming standard with VAQ and bigger brakes was a big plus. Brake modulation felt way better than the integra
• Way easier to throw around than the integra, felt on-par with the A35 without bone shattering suspension
• B U T T O N S

Things I don't like about the GTI (more like nitpicks)

• Lack of automatic climate control (base model) I miss the illusion of 0.5 degree precision of my A4
• Does not have MIB3, but wired carplay is fine, at least my phone is always charged. I actually prefer the matte screen.
• Half powered seats is strange, but I guess lighter weight!
• There is some play in the climate control dials and are not as tight/clicky as the A4 interior
• Not as big of a trunk as the A4
• Halogen lights
• Not manual (actually more like 60/40 on this)

​
I paid 30k all in for the GTI. Obviously it's basically paying for brand new GTI which might throw some people off, but the Mk7 interior and looks are superior to the Mk8 in my book. The car is also mint and still had the new car smell. The warranty till 2027 was a big factor as well. As a bonus, I got all new tires (stock Pirelli P7 AS), the all season rubber mats (I was gonna buy them anyways) the boot tray cover, and those weird velcro blocks.
Obviously, I made my choice and I'm pretty sure I chose the better car. I’m just curious what others think.
Also if anyone knows how to permanently delete the unknown primary user pop-up that would be great lol

———————————————————————————————————————
Memory transcription subject: Vekna, Venlil Investigative Journalist
Date [standardized human time]: December 7th, 07:24, 2136
It’s a longer drive to the hangars than it was to the museum, mainly because of the “airfield’s” elevated position. From what I understood, this was to make it easier for show pilots to gain speed for their stunts. For us, however, it serves only as a hindrance for our Jeep to overcome. Jeep, Jeep. Such a funny word. That’s what Chase calls his car. Well, technically, it’s the company that made his car. He explained that the name was derived from that of an ancient car that was used at the same time as those Tiger tanks. It even had a gas motor! Well, to be fair, most vehicles at that time did, but after growing up surrounded by fusion-electric engines and plasma thrusters, it was still breaking new ground for my engineering side.
I’m still brimming with excitement as we finally make it up to the airfield. I look out the window as it enters my line of vision. I’m sorely let down. Standing opposed to the grand spaceports of Venlil Prime, this place consists of a row of metal, semi-circular structures lining the side of a long, wide strip of concrete. How plain… The data dump had said that most terran vehicles before 2047 didn’t have VTOL capabilities, so a long run of space to build sideways speed was necessary for their flight. Function before form, I guess. Can’t complain about that.
As we drive by the structures, I spot letters and numbers above the wide doors on each one. I assume they correspond to the planes inside, as I recognize a few of them. PBY-5, BF-109, YAK-15, and a few more that I didn’t care to read pass us by as we make our way down the strip of tarmac. Translators always did struggle with such naming conventions, but I’ve gotten used to it by now. Still, too many can give you a terrible headache. The one we come to a stop in front of, though, has a simple designation upon it; F-14. I tilt my head slightly. I don’t recall ever seeing an “F-14” on display, and if Chase had a model of it, it wasn’t one that I was allowed to touch. As we disembark from our trusty land vehicle, I have no idea what to expect. That’s the most exciting part!
As we approach a side door, Chase gives me a bit of history regarding this F-14. “This bad boy was pulled from active service after an air confrontation in the 1970s.” Chase began commenting, taking the familiar tone of museum guides the galaxy over. “The Pilot lived, his copilot didn’t, and it was inactive for the rest of the Cold War. Eventually, it got abandoned in a scrapyard for a century or so as part of the usual retirement of such craft. When the previous staff found her, she was apparently in pretty bad shape, but they managed to fix her up and get her airworthy again. She flew shows for the museum for about 20 years until the F-22s and F-45s were up and ready to go. Then it was back to the scrap heap for her. Or at least, that's what was supposed to happen.” Chase winks at me, a human gesture meant to convey slyness or deception. Any other Venlil would have been horrified by that, but it goes without saying I’m not any other Venlil.
“I came across her a month or so after they sold her off and got pennies on the dollar!” My translator didn’t even attempt to make the currency conversion. “I’ve been keeping it here ever since. It’s in much better condition than at the scrapyard, and I intend to keep that way. I’ve made it my personal pet project to keep her ready to fly at a moment’s notice, but I haven’t had the chance to for a while. But we have time now! You wanna see?”
I don’t even need to talk to answer, my tail doing all the work for me. I’m going to get a personal air show, of course I want to see! I can barely contain my excitement as we approach the access door. We soon reach it, Chase opening it slowly so as not to break the frostbitten hinges. It’s pitch black inside, with only the silhouette of a landing gear visible thanks to the limited morning light. It’s only when Chase flicks on the lights that I’m truly floored. In front of me stands a massive aircraft, sleek in design and wide in stature. The wings of the vehicle stretched for what must be tens of meters, with two massive jet turbine engines in the rear of the plane. Even its very aesthetic is almost predatory in nature, its elongated nose and thin physique almost reminding me of a Krakotl. It's primitive but… brahk it, it’s beautiful! From what I can see, there are two seats in the cockpit, a thought forming in the back of my mind at that sight. Reason tells me otherwise, but…what if I got to fly in this thing? I’m brought out of my mind by the loud thunk and the sound of liquid flowing. I look over to see Chase connecting the plane to a large metal tank. Ah, that must be the fuel.
“Fueling it up, Chase?”
“Yeah, what else? We can’t fly on an empty tank, after all!”
…We?! I nearly pass out as I realize my wildest hopes Are coming true. I was going to get to fly in this thing!! It’s honestly hard to remember what happened between then and now as I’m being helped into the rearmost seat by Chase. Something about safety checks, I think? Who cares?! I’M GOING TO FLY!! As I’m being strapped in, I notice something. There are a sphekload of gauges, switches and buttons back here! I assumed they all had a purpose, but I remember Chase telling me that I wouldn’t need to press them at some point. Thank the Herd, my translator is killing itself trying to translate all this! One thing I would have to just deal with is the seat not being built for someone with a tail, but that’s not too big a deal. If I’m remembering my physics correctly, most of the g-forces would be directed downwards, and given Venlilian skeletal structure, I should be a-okay. Our only weak points are our knees!
Eventually, Chase disconnects the fueling line once we have enough and he climbs into the cockpit, a special helmet on his head. I’m also wearing a similar helmet with a small microphone extended close to my snout. I have to keep my ears pressed against my head for it to fit, but an ear piece allows us to communicate freely. Chase opens the humongous hangar door with a remote, the entire front section of the massive building parting to admit us into the cool, Canadian air. Chase toggles something up front, as I soon hear the combustion-powered jet engines whine to life. It sounds almost like a malfunctioning fusion engine, but Chase assures me that sound is normal. Did we say that? I can’t tell over the whining! Suddenly, I see something I didn’t even know this plane could do. The wings of the aircraft pull back like a bird before we start to taxi out to the start of the runway. The automated air traffic control system verbally informs us that we’re clear to go, with a set flight range for him to fly about within.
He extends the wings back out as he looks back at me. “Ready to have some fun, Vekna?”
OH BRAHK YES!!! I can’t help but give an excited bleat as my heart races in my chest. I’m glad that it’s from excitement this time, though Chase has given me my own inhaler in case a shortlung attack happens during the flight. I give a thumbs-up, another human gesture, as Chase grabs the throttle and pushes it all the way forward. I’m quickly pressed into the back of my seat as we quickly accelerate up to flight speed. Okay, forgot about forward momentum! Readjusting tail! I can hear the usually whiny engines roaring through my headset, making it clear as to why I was given it in the first place despite my head shape. It only takes a few seconds before I feel the vehicle lifting up, the ground receding from view below us as I feel the landing gear pull in. This is incredible! I’m flying! I’M FLYING!!! I can see the peaks of snowy mountains all around us as we fly higher and higher. I can’t help but giddily giggle at the thrill of this flight.
Hearing my excited chittering, it seems Chase gets an idea. “You like that, eh? Try this on for size!”
The entire planet then rolls along our plane’s central axis, and before I know it, the ground is above me. It’s a surreal sight, but before I can process it fully, I feel myself getting pushed down into my seat once again as we pitch down into a canyon. Flying! In the air! Look at the ground speed past! I scream in joy a little as Chase masterfully maneuvers the aircraft so low to the ground I can practically lick the snow! I was flying myself above the chasm! How can I even describe these feelings? These wonderful feelings that I would like to feel forever! They’re too great for words to possibly do justice! Listen to yourself ramble! You’re flying!!!
We continue doing tricks for an incredible while longer until we hear an alert in the cockpit. Chase looks over to the blinking red light, presses a button, and after a moment both sound and sight stop. He then says words that I never want to hear again. “Alright, looks like we’re low on fuel. I only filled her up enough for a short flight, anyways. Let’s get down and give this old bird a rest, eh?”
I don’t want to. I want to stay up here and keep flying where the realities of my existence can’t touch me! Where I am free from the bounds of the world! But, tragically, I’m not in control. I can only watch as we slow our airspeed, adjust our heading, and come in for a gentle landing. The gears screech in protest underneath us as they decelerate the plane to a stop, bringing an end to the best moment of my life. It felt like the best kind of forever, but was …already over. We taxi back into the hangar, coming to a stop as Chase powers down the plane. It takes a while to go through the shutdown process, and I remain in the cockpit for most of it. Anything to allow me to replay the flight in my mind as many times as I can. Eventually, though, that too came to an end as Chase moved the ladder to retrieve me. I hold out my arms as he unbuckles me and lifts me out of the seat, removing my helmet lastly.
“So, how did you like all that, Vekna?”
I don’t have the words to express my enjoyment. I was in the air, away from all my problems and with one of the few people to have treated me like an actual person. I’m unfortunately reminded of my strife by this happy thought, and I come down from my flying high enough to respond.
“Y-Yeah, it was great! Can we do that again soon??”
He laughs as we sit on a bench in the hangar. I lean against him as he wipes the sweat from his brow from having cleaned and prepared the F-14 for another stint of inactivity.
“Sure, but how about we try another plane next time, yeah?”
Next time! I’m about to affirm when a loud alert sounds from Chase’s pad. He mutters something under his breath and checks what it is. Curiously, I look too. There’s a small, top-down silhouette of the airstrip in the middle with rings coming off of it. A ways away, a red dot is shown approaching. Unlike some of the other aircraft, each with their own designations above them, this one is unmarked. It isn’t heading towards us, but it is going in the direction of Vancouver. I don’t see anything particularly wrong with that, but Chase is a different story altogether. He says something about poop under his breath as he hastily stands and starts donning his winter gear once again. I’m left confused on the bench at Chase’s concern.
“Chase? What’s wrong? Why did that alert sound?”
He looks over at me as he’s getting dressed. His eyes are dilated far past their usual. Whatever he knows must be really scaring him. What does that mean for me? “No transponder. I know what that means all too well. Black Ops”
Oh, that’s what that means for me. Speh.

Memory transcription subject: Elijah Morrisson, UN Pilot Ace
Date [standardized human time]: December 7th, 05:00, 2136
I stand outside on the pad as I wait for the two bucketheads General Meiers assigned to this mission to arrive. I had already gotten the shuttle prepped for flight an hour ago, its Venlil-tech fusion engines purring like a contented cat. Though how a fusion engine can purr, I can’t begin to speculate. They didn’t have the most thrust, and were very civilian oriented, but I had to admit their lack of sound was useful for practical concealment, far outperforming the quietest craft we had that weren’t helicopters. It was a far departure from the F-55 I flew in the Satelite Wars, but that’s by design. I kind of missed that old bird. I bet I could probably kick a rookie pilot’s ass in one if I were given the chance. They think they’re all hotshots in their F/A-72s, pah! What was I going to do again? Oh, yeah, bitch about those good-for-nothing NCOs. I look at my watch, seeing that it’s already 05:02. Where are they? As soon as I think that, I see the door to the pad’s gantryway open, flashing me with the blinding white fluorescent light from the airlock. There they are! About damn time! I wave the pair down as they approach at a steady pace, careful not to slip on the ice coating the catwalk.
“Glad y’all could finally join me. Any longer and the general’d have us court-martialed!”
I receive a couple of groans from the two as they lug their bug-out bags into the cargo storage area. “Yeah, you try packing up all your shit without anyone noticing you’re going! We couldn’t even say we’re transferring even if we were asked! That secrecy takes a while.”
“I did. That ain’t no excuse for tardiness, Anderson. And what about you, Xhen? What took you so long?”
He stands quiet for a moment, looking between me and the backside of Anderson as he struggles to get his oversized bag to fit in the cramped personal cargo compartments. He soon succeeds, patting the compressed luggage pridefully before turning back to me.
“Waiting for Lieutenant Anderson, sir!”
I can’t help but laugh at that, earning me a scornful look from the now-standing lieutenant.
“Ah hah. Ah hah hah. Let’s just get going before we’re caught and tried for treason or some other trumped-up charge.”
Xhen and I both salute our current commanding officer as we load into the shuttle. Thankfully, there are four seats up front. Anderson taking the co-pilot position and Xhen taking the co-pilot-passenger position behind him. We strap in, and I ready the shuttle for flight. Unlike the fighters I was used to flying pre-contact, this shuttle did almost everything for me including flying the damn thing, and I could still make it do that, too! Once we were firmly in the air, I could set autopilot and comfortably do whatever while in route. Those Venlil pilots must be some spoiled sons-of-bitches. After making sure everybody is strapped in, I activate the VTOL functionality as we quickly rise above the treeline.
The two boots gripped their seats in fear. Heh, I forgot that they didn’t have their sky-legs yet! Well, who was I to deny them their first proper Morrisson flight experience? I shove the throttle forward and switch to frontal propulsion. The shuttle lurches forward, quickly surpassing the sound barrier with a passing boom. Once we’re supercruising, I slip the shuttle into autopilot and lean back, the other two still scared stiff from our departure. Calm down you babies, I hope that once we arrive, we won’t have to stay for long. I wanna be home in time for Christmas, dammit! But…I can’t cover up my grievances with jokes forever. Besides, I might Jinx it if I say it aloud.
“Some warning next time would be nice, Morrison!” I hear Anderson sputter next to me.
I just chuckle a little and turn my flight seat towards him. “I thought you had flight experience too, Lieutenant! What, can’t handle a little jolt?”
“That was more than a little jolt, Morrisson! If you’re going to keep flying like a crackhead, I’m going to take those controls from you and fly us all there myself!”
I chuckle at that as I prepare one of my signature Air Force quips. “Good luck with that! You can barely find your own flight stick!” At that, he gives me a side eye that could level mountains. Mountains, maybe, but not me.
“You’re lucky we’re stuck in this suicide squad together, or I’d have you dishonorably discharged for that.” Xhen snickers behind him. “I’m not- you know what? Screw you guys. I’m going to go to the back and finish my night’s rest.” He then unbuckles himself from his seat and makes his way to the back of the shuttle. I watch to see if Xhen will follow suit, and sure enough, he also yawns.
I sigh, deciding that he needs his rest too. “You sleepy, private?”
He snaps to attention, though there’s a noticeable lag to his actions. “No sir! Just recovering from the unexpected awa-”
“Just go. Only two people are required in the cockpit at all times. With how advanced this computer is, I’d count it as one. You’re dismissed.”
Xhen blinks at me in confusion. “So…I can go to sleep?”
Oh for God’s sake, these privates. “I said dismissed!”
I turn back around to face forward, hearing Xen hurriedly march into the back of the shuttle behind me. Which leaves me alone. Again... With nothing to do but wait, my mind turns to Vekna. I don’t know why she ran, and I don’t know where she went. If Beech has her, I’m going to do what I should’ve done years ago. I’m going to complete my mission, I’m going to get some answers, and I’m going to find that damn Venlil, whether she wants me to or not. I’m coming, Vekna, and hell nor high water's gona fuckin’ stop me.
… Oh Lord, when did I get so dramatic?
