Quote: Quote: It's a quote from Avengers #58, origin of the Vision.Quote: I guess that's why it's not human nature.Ah, but that's a quote from Cap (or Roy Thomas) Quote: Quote: The pressures of work are mounting up, I admit. But today's distraction was trying to get Amazon's Audible to give me my free copy of my Gideon Cain audiobook. I've been trying to make sense of their system and "promo codes" for two hours and have now given up.Quote: Their promo codes are always terrible. I still haven't been able to use one with Amazon Web Services.After I mentioned my problem in a writer's forum the management of Audible actually contacted me to try and sort the issue out! Quote: Quote: I think we have to assume that with certain differences the music and movie industries are common to both her worlds.Quote: I have an interesting philosophy about that: In a world where superheroes are common, there probably are very few successful superhero movies, because they aren't fantasy anymore.Maybe they're more like war films of events like Pearl harbor? Quote: Music and movies are driven by the content of the society they're in. So the music of the PV probably refers to more ridiculous things than the music of her home. Generally the same, though, because music evolves worldwide about the same.Wde know that various real-world celebrities also exist in the Parodyverse, though, because there have been... interactions. And of course, CSFB! and other hipster heroes constantly make cultural references based upon real-world people, prroducts, and media. Quote: Quote: After a while, remembering five hundred funeral anniversaries each day of the year has got to be a downer.Quote: Long-term memory won't hang on to the memories that long. An immortal likely can remember about the last 20-30-ish years clearly. Which leads to a different problem of lamenting all of the people they've forgotten.It's not a point that's examined very often. Quote: Faite abandons her previous life just beyond that point so she doesn't have to worry about remembering all of the people she's forgotten.That in itself is rather sad. | |||||||
