A Quick Look At The Comics Confirms That The $800 Stipend Was Indeed The Original Number, And Maybe That

A quick look at the comics confirms that the $800 stipend was indeed the original number, and maybe that would have been a large, if not decent amount in the 80s, its chump change in this capitalist hellscape we have in the New 20s

My only real complaint with S1 so far (I haven't finished the season yet) is that Jed's foster father's motive is the $800 a month.

That's not even enough to live on. I seriously doubt Cape Kennedy's cost of living is so low that this stipend is worth it. (Especially if you look at the standard of living the foster parents have. I mean, the phone's probably as old as they are.)

This is the most unrealistic motive I've ever heard of.

If you're going to make greed a character's motive, at least make it enough money to be worthwhile.

Loving this, will have to check these novels out~

tv shows with time travel organizations/bureaus/police/agencies/whatever should have a department with instead of a tech genius eating candy, it’s a harried seamstress or fashion designer who is like

“1450 italy? does it look like I have the time to dye you wool? nO. YOU’RE GOING TO THE 1980s”

and throws shoulder pads at the hapless time agent

King Soopers is strictly Colorado, Trader Joe's are scattered all over more or less randomly in the US

I still have one question is king soopers and trader joes strictly in Colorado or are they other places because this has been bugging me literally my entire life

This right here just about sums it up:

This Right Here Just About Sums It Up:

For everyone complaining that the romance in Belle was a let down, let me clarify:

THAT WASNT THE POINT!

The main plot of Belle was not falling in love, it focused on grief, trauma, and healing❤️‍🩹! And how you can find that in some of the unlikeliest places like the Internet even with its constant toxicity and multiple personas. You can love without falling in love, you can hug without being amorous, and you can connect without being romantic!

For Everyone Complaining That The Romance In Belle Was A Let Down, Let Me Clarify:

If you are looking for a love story with the Beauty and the Beast trope, I’m sorry! Belle is clearly not for you! So stop hating on the movie, saying you’d change or do it this way if you missed the entire plot! Life isn’t about romance, but love! Love of your self, family, friends, neighbors, community, the world, heck even school! This movie explores all the ranges of love except literally the romantic one on PURPOSE!

For Everyone Complaining That The Romance In Belle Was A Let Down, Let Me Clarify:

NORMALIZE ROMANCE AS A SIDE PLOT!!!!!!

(but high key ruka and kamishin were OTP, so cute & adorable 🥰 ❤️)

I understand what you mean, and boy howdy I can already see this splitting the fandom by arguing over it's inclusion as a slight departure from the comics...

Invincible s3 finale spoilers!!

I am so sorry for what I'm about to say to all Conquest enjoyers. However.

His little monolgue thingy at Mark felt a lot like this image.

Invincible S3 Finale Spoilers!!

I can't explain much why it just felt like random trauma dumping idk. I guess you could argue that because he had no rules or regulations for his mission he felt more open about sharing his expierence with him since he thought was going to kill Mark anyways and it gave him a little bit of hope that not all viltrumites or half ones like Mark are heartless especially earlier he says something about having the heart of one. ...damn I think I talked myself out of my initial reaction to this scene lol just a bit...it's still funny tho especially the way he words it about not having anybody want to be his friend idk it sounds like a teenager who's the loner kid but there's a reason why nobody wants to friends with them yknow 😭

The in-universe reason: to appear non-threatening.
