Secret Wars 2 isn't just about Spider-Man teaching the Beyonder how to poop.
It's also about the Beyonder getting time bombs shoved down his pants and giving the New Mutants serious PTSD.

"How fortunate! This will simplify everything!"
Does anyone else have an MST3K line they use regularly, even if it makes no sense out of context?
Because I have both "That'll keep your panfish down for a while." and "Come come, boys, we must confound Jerry at every turn!" from MST3K the movie alone.

You've been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are coming to rescue you.
I'm definitely getting inated before it's over, but I'll be fine in the end.

I remember reading DC's Silver Age event years ago which is mostly a fun 60's style story and then there's one issue where Cronos destroys a bottle city and laughs about committing genocide. Flipped back to the front and, sure enough, Millar. Was not in the least but surprised.
Mark Millar being a full-blown ComicsGate supporter is not very surprising but the impact he had on western comics (especially in the oughts) now feels like a full-blown tragedy. There's no real excuse for his stuff that can hold up when he's openly declared his allegiance to fight the "wokes".

after stealing every word they could find, they ran out of english text and couldn't improve the models further by volume, so they started generating fake text to help improve them more and also a bunch of the english text they fed in the first time is unreliable garbage because they didn't vet it
