Rumor: Doctor Doom has already filmed scenes for Black Panther and that a stand in was used. -- nm - Remlik Jul 30, 10:43 16
- that's 6 months old Doom info. they did a good job keeping it off most fan sites until now. -- nm* - Peglegpete Jul 30, 11:03
- *hates* - Spawn Jul 30, 10:57 14
  - ?? -- nm - mud Jul 30, 10:58 13
    - Getting Doom before the FF is reverse-world building. Namor was bad, but I can accept that one. But Doom is way too tied to Reed. -- nm - Spawn Jul 30, 11:02 12
      - So I'm going to disagree a touch...he's already in power as a leader of a country before we even meet the FF... -- nm - Remlik Jul 30, 11:08 3
        
        If he is not in armor with faceplate, I might allow it. -- nm - Spawn Jul 30, 11:11 2
        
        Will let Kevin know that - eag Jul 30, 11:22
        
        He had the armor before showing up in FF! I mean he had to create it before he attacked the team -- nm - Remlik Jul 30, 11:21
      - As is Kang - eag Jul 30, 11:04 7
        
        Disagreed, though. Like Namor, he exists without Reed. - Spawn Jul 30, 11:07 6
        
        He's Reeds brother -- nm - Remlik Jul 30, 11:08 5
        
        Father. -- nm - Spawn Jul 30, 11:10 4
        
        AH I was mistaken. They're cousins...Reeds Father is Kangs great great grandfather.... - Remlik Jul 30, 11:20 3
        
        My point is the Doctor Doom and Reed Richards share an origin story while Kang is a time traveler so who knows and who cares who came first. -- nm - Spawn Jul 30, 12:34 2
        
        Well clearly comic book fans do! -- nm - Remlik Jul 30, 13:18 1

espn+ MLB trade grades: Seattle Mariners land trade deadline's top available pitcher in deal for Luis Castillo - crash davis Jul 30, 09:29 6
- Angels getting calls on Ohtani -- nm - budice Jul 30, 09:56 2
  - I had a fantasy of Ohtani on the Ms, but with that trade it won't happen. UNLESS, the Angels had previously told Seattle they want Castillo -- nm - crash davis Jul 30, 10:00 1
    - Ohtani says he wants to play for a winner. Which obvie aint the Angels especially with Rendon and Trout out -- nm - budice Jul 30, 10:02
- The Reds made out very well...that's a lot of well-regarded players for a rental. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 30, 09:39 2
  - I agree with you, ESPN agrees with you, both of which should make you question your analysis. -- nm - crash davis Jul 30, 09:44 1
    - but if they make the playoffs, i'll think it a good trade for four years (until Marte becomes a star) -- nm - crash davis Jul 30, 09:47

- Good outcome. Won a 5/5 tie which feels great. He's only +3 but his shooting stats are 58/48/86 -- nm - rollo Jul 30, 09:42 6
  - Is the 48 from three? If so, how many attempts and how tall? -- nm - The Allfather Jul 30, 14:14
  - Whoa, my CL came in +7. My stud recruit is only +4. 3 playables which was necessary and great. - Will Hunting Jul 30, 11:26 1
    - One of my CL is also +7 (Thorpe). He's a bit of a wildcard. - Barons Barons Barons Jul 30, 11:32
  - Also a good outcome. As long as I won one of my top three recruits I was set. Got the tall I wasn't sure I needed. - Barons Barons Barons Jul 30, 11:18
  - I'm surprised his grades are that low given those stats. - Will Hunting Jul 30, 09:55 1
    - He's very similar to the guy I signed last year who came in at +4 and ranked up 3 times as a freshman. - Barons Barons Barons Jul 30, 11:01

Why would Satan torture a sinner in hell for disobeying a god that he rebelled against too? -- nm - great question on reddit Jul 30, 01:08 7
- Hell is not the torture, in the classic sense—Hell is the absence of God—die,go to Heaven, see God (and your family) and feel overwhelming cosmic love -- (edited) - Flavorize Jul 30, 07:14 4
  - The torture stuff came a lot earlier. There are stories in the New Testament that depict hell as a place of torment, for example. - Roger More Jul 30, 10:55 2
    - Point taken—but, The Bible and especially the New Testament have been re-written/reinterpreted, countless times - Flavorize Jul 30, 11:28

- Have you ever seen Caddyshack? -- nm - Spawn Jul 30, 11:08 1
  - I'm sure I did, years ago, and I know better than to be outside in a storm. I'd just never heard these warnings as part of a weather forecast before. -- nm - Meg Jul 30, 11:20
