All my Reddit comments have just said “Comment redacted in protest against Reddit’s deranged attacks against third party apps, the community, and common sense. See you’ll in Lemmy or Kbin once this embarrassment of a site is done enshittifying itself out of existence. Monetize this, u/spez, you greedy little pigboy. 🖕” since I edited them before moving here. 🤷♂️
It’s wrong, though. Kubrick hated travelling and filming on location. He had NASA send astronauts to the moon to shoot the backgrounds, but filmed everything in London. (As part of the payment, he got the lens he used to film Barry Lyndon, which had been designed to film the dark side of the moon and allowed him to shoot scenes lit only by candlelight).
For some reason I’ve just never liked Spider-Man. He comes off as a whiney, ignorant child that never seems to grow up or mature despite everything he goes through. I love a good coming of age story, but he just never seems to become an adult.
The thing is that, as you said, it’s happened several times before. Beta Ray Bill, Red Norvell, Eric Masterson… it’s been established for a long time that in the Marvel universe the title of Thor, God of Thunder, may be held by people who aren’t Thor Odinson (and that he might occasionally lose it, though so far only temporarily, at least in the main continuity).
Sir Terry Pratchett’s Discworld’s wizards are sort of like this, at least once Mustrum Ridcully becomes archchancellor, and especially once they built their magic Rube Goldberg style supercomputer Hex.

Understanding hate as an emotional response can help you recognize your feelings about something or someone and be curious about where those feelings are coming from. This awareness will give you time to gather more information and imagine the other person’s perspective....

Well, it’s a start. Once we’ve used it to colonise Mars and we have affordable private ships some Martian dude can overtune his and become famous and (posthumously) extremely wealthy…
Seriously, though, when those blue-green fuckers came up with oxygenic photosynthesis and started shitting oxygen all over the place they killed practically everything else on the planet, the bastards. Paleontologists call it the Oxygen Catastrophe or Oxygen Holocaust.
Stegron is, somehow, a whole other (yet remarkably similar) character, with practically the same goals, so it’s easy to confuse them.
(Frankly, sounds like Len Wein and Gil Kane might have forgotten Sauron existed and independently reinvented him, from how similar they are; there must’ve been something about turning people into dinosaurs in the early Marvel zeitgeist, I suppose, since they’re both quite ancient characters, Sauron having been created in 1969 and Stegron in 1974…)
Not as much as necrotic tissue still attached to the patient, I suppose. (The idea is that these maggots are extremely good at debridement, that is, at eating only the dead tissue and leaving the still healthy ones alone; other methods, like scalpels, can’t be so discriminating, and force the doctors to remove healthy tissue to make sure there’s no necrosis left).
These seem to be illustrations of Burgess Shale organisms, Burgess Shale being renowned for the excellent preservation of soft tissues in its fossils, so the bubbly bits were actually quite well preserved, if maybe a bit squished and deflated.
