A superhero for whom there's more than one person in their head. Bruce Banner and the Hulk are a plural system, and so are Steven Grant, Marc Spector, and Jake Lockley. Although Banner and Hulk have integrated into a single personality by the time of Endgame. In She Hulk, Bruce is actually really surprised that Jen isn't plural. I guess in the MCU he hasn't realised that his plurality is caused by being beaten by his father like in the comics. He thinks his plurality is caused by gamma radiation up until Jen turns into a hulk but isn't plural.

Well then Epic can make an actual profit on the game when they decide to put it on Steam.
WOW is proof that human beings are biologically programmed to work together to achieve goals. It's a shame capitalism suppresses this desire in people and forces them to only let it out in games. Imagine if we had a society where people's work was properly valued, where they could self organise to accomplish great things.
Outer Wilds doesn't have any combat, you're thinking of Outer Worlds.
Never seen the movie but that's hilarious. I'm glad the movie exists, solely because I get to laugh at the video of the earthbenders moving a rock.
She Hulk is great! What did you think of Moon Knight? I'm glad the MCU has not one but two confirmed plural superheroes!
It's a story about fatherhood. I like stories about fatherhood. God Of War is pretty great. It's also a story about Thor becoming worthy not just to be the prince of Asgard, but its king, by exploring his tender side. I guess a lot of people complained that Thor used the Thorforce to give other people the power of Thor, but that's literally what Odin did in the first movie back when it was called the Odinforce. It symbolises that Thor has finally become the equal of his father, following in his footsteps while learning from his mistakes. Thor is finally ready to stop being someone's son and to finally grow up, while at the same time becoming somebody's father. Thor's defeat of the god slayer not through violence but through nurturing empathy, is a symbolic victory over the flaws of his father, representing that Thor will be a better god and a better king.
I see Thor 4 as a shining example of positive masculinity. It directly answers the question: "What is a man, if a woman becomes his equal?" The answer is "himself." And as cheesy as that may be, it's true.
I agree, but the way they handled Jasmine was pretty sloppy. She had a whole song about not being silenced, which all happened inside her head and she proceeded to have no further impact on the plot.
The "thousands of people" watching your "stream" are bots. They can respond to what's going on in the video in real time because they're bots. Actually I technically think this would be more efficient and therefore is probably designed so that it's only one LLM pretending to be thousands of people, but I'll call it bots because that's easier to visualise. The bots know what's going on in the "stream" because they can understand what the "streamer" is saying, which means the pickup artist can put on a convincing performance to trick the mark. If it was just a recording, it wouldn't be able to respond to novel situations caused by the mark's behaviour.
I don't actually know if this technology even works, but that would be the intent used to sell it to pickup artist bros.
"Maybe if I date someone who's famous, they'll have enough money that I won't have to worry about paying for medical bills or groceries anymore. Gee, maybe we could even buy a house and raise kids."
We live in a capitalist hellscape where such things are no longer taken for granted, and are now associated with the heights of success.
Moon Knight's arc dealing with a fictive alter is great, but I'd be even happier with the MCU's handling of plurality if there were an endogenic superhero. An endogenic system is one that wasn't formed by trauma. A lot of people in the plural community, called sysmedicalists, think plurality can only be a mental disorder. I'd like it if the MCU was brave enough to include a counterexample to this belief.
