Basic Instructions by Scott Meyer for March 13, 2023

That was certainly productive.

I don’t think those were micro doses we took…

Did someone say “productive”?

I might watch that.

The biggest villain in Marvel Comics is Dr Doom.

You just KNOW someone’s going to draw a hungry Univerctus, and I can’t wait to see the results.

Correction : Galactus devours worlds.

Kinda wonder what these guys think of Morbius….

Doctor Manhattan… oops. Different universe.

How about Dormammu? He eats worlds too.

Kudos to Mr. Meyer, who knows when to write “on to” and when to write “onto”!

Actually, they could milk the 50% trick many more times, until the population goes to 1.

Properly maintained thought lines should never get derailed like this.

“Galactus was simply another in a long line of super-villains whom we loved creating. …[W]e felt the only way to top ourselves was to come up with an evil-doer who had almost godlike powers. Therefore, the natural choice was sort of a demi-god, but now what would we do with him? We didn’t want to use the tired old cliche about him wanting to conquer the world. There were enough would-be world conquerors in the Marvel Universe and in all the other comic book galaxies. That was when inspiration struck. Why not have him not be a really evil person? After all, a demi-god should be beyond mere good and evil. He’d just be (don’t laugh!) hungry. And the nourishment he’d require is the life force and energy from living planets!”7

Wait a minute. Even if Kang kills 51% of all people, that’d be only half of the people Thanos didn’t kill, so 25.5%.

Percentages may increase, but the number of people killed will decrease.

If they milk that for 49 more movies, the villains will kill less and less people, so Baldie is right, they’ll never top Thanos.
