In the comments to these weekly posts (and only these posts), it's your chance to go as off topic as you like.

Talk about non-comics stuff, thread derail, and just generally chat among yourselves.

The intent of these posts is to chat and have some fun and, sure, vent a little as required. Reasoned debate is fine, as always, but if you have to ask if something is going over the line, think carefully before posting please.

Normal board rules about conduct and behaviour still apply, of course.

It's been suggested that, if discussing spoilers for recent media events, it might be advisable to consider using the rot13 method to prevent other members seeing spoilers in passing.

The world situation is the world situation. If you're following the news, you know it as much as I do, if you're not, then there are better sources than scans_daily. But please, no doomscrolling, for your own sake.

A new gene therapy for Huntingdon's Disease was announced, and appears to be very promising, though it's early stages yet.

The Mangled Apricot Hellbeast (to borrow a favourite Scottish term of un-endearment), tried to convince the world that the dark forces within the UN were out to sabotage his speech; first by halting an escalator as he got on (despite the fact the most likely culprit was his own videographer accidentally hitting an Emergency Stop button at the top), and then the teleprompter (which it turns out was being managed by White House staff at the time).

The fact he used his speech, which rambled on for four times as long as scheduled, to basically berate the entire organisation/world for not being like his version of America, went down as well as expected.

The UK's very own Poundshop Trump wannabe, Farage, decided to ape his idol by claiming that "Migrants are stealing and eating our swans from the Royal Parks". This had about as much validity as you might imagine with ONE report from over 11 years ago not exactly proving a trend, nor involving a Royal Park, but since when did facts matter?

On the lighter (sort of) side of things, Miraculous Ladybug released another out of order episode, which managed to have: Adrien processing at least five stages of grief at the same time by yelling with a megaphone at a rampaging kaiju sized plasticine version of his deceased father (as you do), Marinette having yet ANOTHER breakdown over bad decisions she's made, and a hint at a entire new set of Miraculous we've not seen before. Busy, busy.

Disney+ will be showing the Disney: Twisted Wonderland anime at the end of October. An isekai anime based on the mobile game, it involves our protagonist being transported to a shonen-heavy all male bparding school with houses patterned after the seven big bads of Disney cartoons: Evil Queen, Maleficient, Ursula, Jafar, Hades, Scar and the Queen of Hearts.

Whilst I wish it well, I'm not sure it will exactly compensate for the reported 1.7 million subscription cancellations following their short-lived cancellation of Jimmy Kimmel

Oh, also, Star Wars: Visions Season 3!

The wildest story of the JLI's first year took place entirely outside the pages of Justice League comics. Justice League International didn't even acknowledge it, yet it turned one of the Leaguers' lives upside down and redefined his role within the team for good.

Or was it...FOR EVIL??? )
