Even the villains without superpowers or magic. Are still extremely intelligent enough to create super technology or they are just peak humans. I can't think of a villain who doesn't fall into one of these categories. The closet character is maybe the Penguin. Even the Riddle is stupidly intelligent, and the Joker is still physically a monster.

So I wonder how do regular billionaires with no special skills or tech are able to keep up.

Apologies if it was revealed in the movie because I can’t remember how the movie went as I believe I did see it such a long time ago, but I was wondering what could SkyNet hope to achieve by eliminating humanity.

Like say that the machines successfully wiped out all of mankind as I have to wonder what they would do next again if their mission worked out since they were sentient androids that wanted to wage a war against humanity.

I'm also including sprites of characters dying, holding weapons, having crazed expressions, etc. Sprites that shouldn't really be in the game if the original intent for the game is just a straightforward dating sim. Did Monika drew them?

Dracula saw the priest responsible for killing his wife. He knew the town that it happened in. The demons were already given heads up on who was responsible for the whole mess as we saw in episode 4. Instead, he went after Targoviste first. I’d assumed he would have wanted the Bishop to die first.

One thing about Andor that I keep coming back to is the money.

Mon Mothma has an extremely difficult time concealing a 400,000-credit gap in her family's accounts. The Empire is monitoring financial activity closely enough that she ends up involving a very unpleasant financier just to make the numbers work.

And she's a wealthy senator from one of the Core Worlds. If anybody should be able to move money around without attracting attention, you'd think it would be her.

Now consider what the Rebellion actually needs to spend money on.

Not just X-wings and weapons. Those can sometimes be stolen or supplied by sympathetic governments.

I'm talking about the boring stuff.

Someone on Ferrix needs to buy replacement parts for a ship. An informant on Coruscant needs to get paid. A safe house needs rent. A transport captain wants compensation for moving people somewhere dangerous. Someone has to buy food for fifty rebels hiding on a moon.

These are transactions happening across thousands of systems, often in places where the Empire controls the banks, ports and communications infrastructure.

And unlike a senator, an ordinary mechanic or merchant probably doesn't have an elaborate financial arrangement to conceal suspicious income.

The Aldhani heist makes more sense to me the more I think about this. Stealing physical payroll gives the rebels money they don't have to withdraw from an account connected to a known supporter.

But even then, surely the Empire would be looking for stolen credits entering circulation? And eventually someone has to exchange those credits for actual supplies.

So how does this work in practice?

Does the Rebellion mostly operate on physical currency and black-market transactions? Are there independent banking systems outside Imperial control? Do local cells fund themselves and only occasionally receive supplies from the larger Alliance?

I'm especially interested in whether the Empire has any realistic way of tracing ordinary purchases back to rebel networks.

Because keeping an entire military organization supplied while your enemy controls much of the galactic financial system sounds almost as difficult as fighting the Empire itself.

Why can V, a street kid, oneshot Adam Smasher with quickhacks, but Lucy, a dedicated Arasaka netrunner can't even dent his ICE?

In Thunderbolts*, it’s canon that Sentry’s suit is made out of gold and blue vibranium. The suit was made with pure vibranium fibers and micro-weave mesh.

Now, you may ask: Why does a Superman-type character need a Black Panther-esque vibranium suit? My guess would be that you wouldn’t want to run into a Luke Cage problem where you have to keep changing suits because your clothes aren’t bulletproof, and flying at Mach 10 might burn your clothes off. So, the suit does make sense.

My question is just: How the hell did Valentina get the vibranium to make the suit in the first place? I get that she’s a shady businesswoman, but vibranium is super, super rare. Even if you did get some, I’d have to assume it wouldn’t be enough to make an entire suit for a whole person.

My second question is: I’m sure Wakanda will be pissed, but that’s a question for another day.

How would that have altered the Horus Heresy and his relationship with his brothers ?

What would have been the Fallout ?

Was it included in his assimilation plan?

He kept saying three reals, so was it potentially (potentially!) a safe zone to escape his powers?

Would they fall to the corruption of the warp if they appeared in the 40k Galaxy? Or would there god Leviathan protect them?

Like yeah,they want to maintain balance between humans and ghouls, but why ?

Their relationship with the Waashus is odd.

I shall forever make fun of them for being fodder !

Fun Scenerio :

What If V and the Waashus were exposed at the beginning of the og Manga, shortly after Kens transformation,what would have been the fallout and what would they have done ?

The Dominion seems large, so many of them would probably still sent and the places where soldiers are essential but don't get much combat

The wizards in Harry potter have free: Energy/heat, instantaneous transportation, duplication & repair of any nonmagical item, automation incl quite intelligent automation.

Yet the Weaslies run around in threadbare cloaks. When they can duplicate/transfigure/repair anything.

The twins could run an online store over the floo network: They have one copy of every item in demand. You talk to them over the floo network "I need a purple cashmere robe, size M. Also a bottle of Château Pétrus. And an onion." -> "That will be 5 sickles. Onion costs triple, because it is perishable.". Twins make copies and hand them out through the floo network.

Is it a cultural thing that they don't abuse reparo/geminio/transfiguration?

(Also there's a lot of walking, broom riding, knight bus, sending owls, when you can apparate intantaneously)

Question in title.

Outside the big 3. David Dunn, The Beast, and Mr. Glass.

It seems to be that only dark side users are wearing masks, even when they don’t have to. What’s the deal?

As far as I can tell, they're essentially humans with a disorder, if you will. Their x-gene causes them to look animalistic, but they are humans.

They had supercomputers.Also why satnam the astrophysisist did not know about the ark location.Since he saw the solar flare 1st he must and should have had a say in the whole operation

Or adrians father.His son didnt inform him of the impending chaos?and let him go on a cruise

There's scenes where he uses the stones without snapping but there was extra emphasis on the snap especially in endgame.
