    I feel like it would make sense if Celestia couldn't explain why she was doing what she was doing. I'd buy that the steps to becoming an alicorn needed to be done for the right reasons, not with the ulterior motive of becoming an alicorn, at which point you can't really explain. That would be...

    On a societal level, it feels like planets going through expansionist/isolationist phases over the course of their history is a normal enough cycle that it doesn't really need a deep explanation. Honestly, Kryptonian politicians overreacting to the destruction of one of its moons and/or...

    Yeah... don't get hung up on this. All of the universes appear to be equally real and fictional in this multiverse. Paul has played Warhammer in the DC universe, and also there's versions of him in the Warhammer 40k and Warhammer Fantasy universes. That's actually kind of how the DC...

    Eh. I feel like a lot of discussions about alien battles are on the "the only purpose of battle is to win, and if you're not doing the most effective strategy to win, you're an idiot" level, which is kind of dumb. That's not a thing that even humans do. It's kind of like looking down on...

    Two of the major series antagonists were goa'uld that were thought dead thousands of years ago, and then just showed up again one day. SG1 also tripped over more than few goa'uld who were thought dead, but had either been imprisoned or just chilling in their sarcophagus. Defeated goa'uld...

    I'd be happy reading an entire story that was just this crossover. ;) Also, as a nitpick: Goa'uld hosts and ex-hosts have naquadah in their bloodstream, which is needed to activate any Goa'uld technology and also detectable by other people with naquadah in their bloodstream. That was a...

    Congress would just have to pass a bill changing the date for federal elections. Federal elections happen on the day they do because of a bill passed in the 1870s, so it's not like it changes frequently, but there's nothing stopping it from being changed if Congress wants to change it...

    Kind of. She was originally created as an Earth-2 character, a member of Infinity, Inc., which was basically the Teen Titans equivalent for the JSA. She was the daughter of the Golden Age WW and GA Steve Trevor; her husband (Hector Hall) was the son of the GA Hawkman and Hawkgirl, etc...

    Besides being the sister of Cluracan, the fairy who told the heroes what happened and asked them to find her, she's specifically a character from Sandman (tl;dr: Gifted to Dream by Titania, she fell in love with him, he was mildly fond of her, she screwed up and was unintentionally the reason he...

    If anyone's mentioned Aztek, I missed it, but he's the obvious one that springs to my mind if the Aztec pantheon is in play.

    What do you think this is, the 2010s? I mean, they can tweak the characters somewhat from the voice actors in ways that don't matter (and will then have to apologize in 10 years if it turns out that whatever they tweaked is a new representational thing), but I'm okay looking at this cast list...

    A "heroes for hire" corporate team. Kurt Busiek created them for a series back in the early 2000s. There's also a potentially relevant plot hook there, in that one of the Power Company's missions involved them freeing a Controller who was being held prisoner by some supervillain.

    Worse than that, it's not even just if you're in it for power; it's legitimately the kind of situation where even just knowing what's going on makes things harder. I mean, if you know that in order to bond to the Element of Generosity, you need to give away something of significant personal...

    I mean, they didn't come right out and say "We don't know that orange means avarice," but they were explicitly searching for the orange light, and when they found it (with the standard OL glyph), their reaction was "What light is it?" "What does it matter?" When looking right at the orange...

    In canon, the understanding of the emotional spectrum was so limited that not even the Controllers knew that orange meant avarice, until they waltzed into Larfleeze's lair and he ganked them all.

    For context, it probably needs to be specified that this was all pre-Crisis. In the 60s, there was a story arc in which Wonder Woman was depowered. The JLA writer wanted a female character to fill her slot, and liked Black Canary, so after a JSA/JLA crossover event, Black Canary literally...

    I can enjoy Fallout chapters like this, where you could basically blur out all of the names and setting details and still have a comprehensible chapter just based on character interaction. Most of the time... yeah, it's just "Blech, another Fallout chapter, skim, done." Never played the...

    No matter where you actually live, the textbook you learned history from was probably designed to be used in schools in Texas, due to how large of a market that is.

    I believe it's from the 2008 reboot of "Uncle Sam & the Freedom Fighters." I got it from a synopsis of the character on another website. I have previously been informed by staff that someone displaying the Confederate Flag as their profile pic was a historical issue not prohibited by Rule 8...
