top 5 cookies

[xp_wildchild]

1. Those little like, stick cookies with the flaky outside and the stuff in the middle, the vanilla ones. Those are the bomb.
2. Macrons. Are macrons a cookie? I think they're a cookie, they're great.
3. The cranberry carob granola cookies that vegan lady at the farmer's market makes. I know, okay. I KNOW. But. They're actually really good, like, more like a granola bar but in the shape of a cookie.
4. Gingerbread men. In the shape of people I've fought so I can fight them again.
5. Those goddamn coconut chocolate girl scout cookies I'm not supposed to eat them I just can't NOT eat them.

Re: ?

[xp_wildchild]

Yeah man I can eat like the whole jar of those without thinking

Macron is the current president of France. You are thinking of macarons.

[xp_wildchild]

Probably unless your president's a cookie

Top 5 X-Men Big Bads.

[xp_eriment]

ooh good one, better take some notes

[xp_wildchild]

What like top five guys I fought myself and it didn't 100% suck, or like top 5 guys the team fought ever, or top five guys I fought where it sucked?

1. That one guy when Angel had to be rescued where he thought he was all telekinetic badass and I was like "bring it." (lesson - even a total h2h guy like me can fight a teek if the teek's totally bad at strategy) (real lesson don't underestimate anyone's powers)

2. Sabertooth - lesson: DO NOT FIGHT THAT GUY (no seriously don't, he's insane)

3. Toad - lesson - find a guy's weakness. In toad's case, his ego. Also his knees.

4. Magneto - never fought the guy but like as far as villains go, he's powerful, he's got an ideology, he's SORT of got a moral code, he's got a great sense of style, he's got personal connections to people we know. I got no lesson for him I'm just saying.

5. Yelling dude who broke out of prison once. I forget what he called himself. Anyway, lesson there is know your OWN weaknesses. If you've got super senses, loud noises can mess you up bad.

(back at you, 5 bad guys from tv or movies that you can kinda understand where they might be coming from)

[xp_cypher]

The only thing I can think of when we talk about that yelling dude.

[xp_spectrum]

Apparently I need to do more of the TV/movie thing... And has anyone noticed that villains in recent stuff are more black and white? There's not as many shades of gray as there used to be, or at least that's what I'm noticing.

1) Maleficent - the whole movie's about how a villain has their own issues and reasons for doing what they do.

2) Moana - the monster who isn't really one. I loved that reveal.

3) The Magicians - Martin/The Beast. Not justifying anything he did, but you could see why he went the way he did. Being abused by his mentor and then being locked out of the only escape he had... no wonder he went nuts.

4) Arrival - the military guys who tried to blow up the spaceship. Totally understandable in a climate of fear and uncertainty, especially when they're trained to see all things that aren't normal as a threat.

5) Carrie - okay, killing everyone at prom is a pretty extreme reaction to bullying, but seriously, I get it. People without resources pushed past their limits and then given the chance for payback. It's a very human reaction, and not easy to ignore.

Here for being paid more, especially while we hammer out this OSHA crap.
