Okay will admit I wasn’t expecting this turn in the discourse

You guys speaking like every country in the world has easy access libraries smh

Great point — if only there was a way to access books for free if you don’t have access to a library. But what could that be? It’s surely not linked in the comment directly above you

The foreshadowing in the first act of Jurassic Park is nuts, considering it's an adaption of a story everyone watching it knew.

Most famously, this is a movie that foreshadows the entire plot with a seatbelt, with Grant having two "female" connectors but managing to tie them together anyway, or the fact that the plot is kicked off by Hammond treating a liability tour conducted bc dinosaurs ate someone as a exciting grand opening, but like

"Dr. Wu is introduced writing lab data down in pencil, and erasing it." Sure

"In the DNA lab some of the dinosaur's names are misspelled." Huh (and likely intentional, since it's two misspellings of two popular dinosaurs shown in close-up)

"When Hammond is pouring champagne for Grant and Sattler, he accidentally grabs much cheaper glasses without noticing, and we can see the right glasses sitting in the background" What?

I think this ties into the "UNIX system" scene too. Set aside that that was a real, if obscure, file manager program, everyone mocking how it was an example of Hollywood "not getting computers" is wrong on those grounds too. "Yeah, it looks cool, but it wouldn't be very efficient or functional". Yeah, and that's why it makes perfect sense for John Hammond to have it on the computers at Jurassic Park. After all, a boring, functional folder doesn't scream "spared no expense". It's not an great example of the filmmakers not getting computers, it's a great example of a character not getting computers

There's the ghost of a child playing above Bludhaven

He's a short little thing, who glows and waves around a little sword. Sometimes he has a ship, sometimes he doesn't.

The kid keeps saying that it only fits that Bludhaven be his haunt, because it has "blud" in it and his name is "Youngblood".

Also he has declared Nightwing to be his nemesis.

Nightwing loves it; he gets to have at least one day a week that's just goofing off with a kid who can't be hurt by any of his regular villains. Their "fights" are more like play dates, if he's being honest, and Youngblood is a good kid.

Sometimes he's swinging from the sails of the kids ghost ship, dodging "ecto blasts", other times he's "teaming up" with Youngblood and "sword fights" another spectral Hero, called Phantom.

Generally, they all have a good time.

Until one day, he stumbles across some men in white suits actually managing to hurt the ghost child.

That day, the GIW learns that the most violent Robin wasn't the second one, but the first.

cackling at this, can NOT believe it's a real, actual quote. it reads so much like one of those clickhole pieces

DP x DC fanfic prompt

Danny Phantom was never on the Justice Leagues radar, Amity was outside of all of their individual areas and never became a big enough threat or nuisance to catch the attention of the League.

That changes pretty quickly changes with the arrival of Undergrowth when a large chunk of the midwest is starting to get over run by an unnatural and quite powerful wave of vines the league was having a tough time just containing it from spreading, not to mention even attempt to stop it at it's source. Only for a seemingly magic ice to spread from said source and freeze all the vines in place.

After a couple weeks of reseach and investigative journalism the League was able to identify the person at the center of the take over attempt. One Sam Manson.

And whatever will Sam do now that she is under the investigation and observation of the Justice League. And while her friends are also note worthy, the eco protestor that worked with a supernatural plant monster is the most concerning indiviual in all of Amity in their opinion.

"Animorphs is so brutal and dark and depressing, how is it for kids?" You are talking about the series where the kids turn into wild animals and start cleaning the floor in an office building as a distraction

/Finally/ here’s part 2! I imagine these two when trying to talk about feelings would be very awkward. I’m doing my best to convey that here. Next part will be more exciting prob :]

Mr.lancer knew something was wrong. Especially after the ghost started showing up at school. Especially when every teacher was sat down in an assembly and spoken to by the government.

They were not to interfere.

This was all apart of a government approved program.

When ghost showed up or interacted if they intervened they would be arrested. Then tried as a traitor to the United States.

He saw his students make calls the the JL hotline. He saw nothing happen. He couldn’t be sure if the league knew and didn’t care or If the calls were being blocked.

He was hoping the calls were just blocked. Mr lancer saw how the kids who’s were frequently around these ghost were hurt. Explosions, kidnappings and just the mental toll. At any moment a ghost attack could happen. The way their eyes would shine just a tad to bright.

Government agents the Giw and the Fenton parents active threats as well. Would the JL actually be okay with this? He didn’t think so.

Every year of Casper highs life the freshman have always gone out of city for an overnight field trip. To get away from small town life. They’d always go to metropolis.

So. He plotted.

Hopefully he’d find a way to make contact with a super or even Lois lane.

As luck would have it. Superman got in a fight against a robot. Nothing worse then they have seen before, he shooed the kiddos away. And waited.

Making direct eye contact with one of the supers/Lois pointing at an envelope on his hand and setting it down. Then he turned around walking away.

Hopefully they would help.
