"Finaltide."



No disrespect to Carol, but Kurt has nothing but respect for his captain, fellow Marvel Super-Heroes Secret Wars veteran Monica Rambeau! Oh, according to Wikipedia, she's Spectrum now. Not even Doctor or Captain Spectrum...Of course we don't see Kurt and Monica interact in the mini-series; but let's be honest, is that series remembered for character bits or conversation?

There's no way Ellis or Immonen would ever come back for more Nextwave: that just doesn't feel like something they'd do. I'd say Marvel's at least ten years out from anyone else trying to use him; rough estimate based on copyright laws and how long they let Howard the Duck or Elektra lie fallow.

Just like I thought it would be easier to come up with crazy Nextwave sounding nonsense, I had a really hard time trying to come up with a horse's name that sounded like a Kentucky Derby winner. I looked up a list, and most of them were dumb but not memorably dumb?

When you think about it, Nextwave was Looney Tunes-ish at times so Dirk pulling a Bugs Bunny and trying to cut Florida away seems possible. He'd probably have been on the Florida side and declared himself Lord King Emperor or something though.

With Nextwave trying really hard to convince themselves to stop him.

"I mean, it's awful, right? In principle."

"Wait. Stop. Don't."

"Alright, fun's fun, but we really do have to stop him."

"I don't see you doing anything, Monica."

Coming up with Kentucky Derby horse names is MAD easy. Hell, do what those officials do and pull out a mad libs/name randomizer. Results are even better or easier to take the drunker you get...or so it would seem, idk.

Dude, due to what's going on right now with their dumb ass Trumplican governor, cutting FL off from the rest of the US would be a godsend right now. I'd be SOOOOO rooting for Anger on that one as I suspect we all would. What? You know I'm not wrong.

One of these days you're going to have to follow up on that SW BBQ you know. I know you did one before but we're seriously due an updated version. Just saying.
