Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

Well, it sucks when you're sitting courtside to a bunch of people who die and then get better but you know you won't. So I'm willing to cut her some slack.
As for Happy, well... He and Pepper are stupid for not having backed up his brain onto a hard drive and befriending Thor and Strange in the event that he was rendered brain dead.
This really doesn't affect him that much, at all. It's not like he can't eat planets anymore - he just can't eat planets that contain the Shadow People's Old Power any more, for fear of them being 'poisoned' by Hiro-kala. Nothing about Galactus has actually changed. Galactus is essentially forced to go back to the status quo, rather than becoming an Old Power junkie.
Trusting Loki at inopportune moments is what Asgardians do.
You can't very well be a trickster god if no one falls for your tricks.

bought the reasons, eh? the two big reasons? eh? eh virral?
I have absolutely no idea what you mean...
Because 9% think it's too high, and shouldn't be cut! 9% of respondents could not fully
get their arms around the question. There should be another box you can check for, "I
have utterly no idea what you're talking about. Please, God, don't ask for my input."
For actual deeds to prove his worth, there's the huge one of telling Balder his heritage, which had been denied him and kept from him as lies from all others. Loki, basically god of lies, telling him the truth when all others lied to him.
Then there's saving Balder from the frost giants, which Loki set up, but, to anyone, particularly Balder, whom he saved, it would be a huge change of character seeing Loki on such a proactive attack to save his life while killing his former allies, the frost giants.
Finally, Balder never once said he trusted Loki. He even tells Bill he knows of the plight of allying with Doom/moving to Latveria, but kings must do such things for the will of the people or some such, which was perfectly reasonable to me. Even Thor's exile, which Balder clearly suspects is Loki's doing, is carried out based on their laws and not of Balder's volition. He's not portayed as some guillable idiot Loki is leading around by the short hairs.
That's pretty much why I loved it. It set you up for tired old tropes you could see coming a mile off, then kicked the chair from underneath you.
Also, Son of the Hulk: didn't Beta Ray Bill already do something like that, not so long ago?
No, I think someone else did something to him that was going to make him explode and kill 3 billion planets or something so Bill saved him.
