This type of stuff is sort of idiotic. Its not that I have a problem with female heroes, it's just that Thor is religious figure with a definite sex, so it makes absolutely no sense to change that. It's not like Marvel created Thor, they just borrowed him. Someone said this is like making a comic about Jesus, but in actuality its like making a comic about Jesus where he is female....whats the point? These characters already have their well versed backgrounds and history. If you made Jesus female you would pretty much have to rewrite his history because...well, women were treated a lot differently back in the day...and if you're gonna do that, why not just create a completely new character?

If you wanna make Spidey a woman or Wolverine a woman....that's cool, since Marvel created the base character. But Thor existed long before Marvel existed, yes, I know this is Marvel's rendition of Thor, but this is a rendition of a previously existing character. I just feel like its one of those cheap goto twists. Its like if you are writing a book and it sucks and u say "hey why dont we have a twist where its all just a dream!?" same here. Its like Marvel sat down and said "yeah....im all out of ideas....so lets just make Thor female! That's risky, right!?"

Oh well, whatever, I could be good I guess.

Excluding cheap shit like the power to do anything you want, here are a few I would pick from:

1. Power to heal people, including myself

2.Power to see the future and alter it (it has to be fully in my control so I can shut it off when I want...for instance if I'm playing the latest MGS game...dont want spoilers :p)

3. Forge's power from Xmen where he can pretty much create any technological device he wants. If not that, then hyper-intelligence.

From those 3, The one I would like the most is Forge's power because with that you can accomplish the other two, but if we are to remove that loophole, then I would probably go for the healing power.

I agree

The problem is that you have two governments that are not interested in peace, and a whole shit load of civilians stuck in the middle of their mess.

I personally believe that at this point in the Israeli/Palestinian conflict both sides are just wrong. Sure it may seem like Israel is "more wrong" because they are the larger military power and they proudly and openly defy UN resolutions with the US's support, but in reality, Palestine does some pretty horrible things to Israel too. There are no good guys in this story, just people killing each other. Imagine this: An adult shoots and kills a 10 year old boy. That's a horrific tragedy and the whole world goes up in arms about what a horrible human being this adult is. Now, lets imagine a 10 year old boy pulls out a gun and shoots an adult. Yes, the world still sees it as a tragedy but not nearly on the same level as an adult shooting a 10 year old, when in reality they are both equally as bad. That's whats happening between Israel and Palestine. Both sides do equally horrific things, but since Israel is the big gun and has the support of a super power, its looks a lot worse when they do it. It looks a lot worse when the big guy steps on the small guy than the other way around.

I think you are bulking way too fast. Yes professional body builders will eat like animals to bulk up fast and then cut, but unless you are on the professional circuit (and thus care more about results than, you know....being a healthy human being) I would suggest you slow it down a bit. I can guarantee you that at 275 lbs a vast majority of that is fat, and by vast i mean "a significant amount". When you start cutting (which is gonna be a pain in the ass cause your body is used to having so many calories stuffed into it) I would be surprised if you hit 200lbs at the 5% body fat mark. What I would suggest you do right now, is to start cutting hard. More cardio than weights. Losing all that extra mass should be more of a priority at this point. I find that its a lot easier (and a lot healthier) to start from a slim frame and bulk healthy. It possible to get a calorie surplus without clogging your arteries. And try to make sure that the surplus is just enough to build muscle and no more.

Yes, its practically impossible to bulk without putting on extra fat, but you can severely limit the amount of fat you put on thus limiting the amount of cutting you have to do. It might be slower than the traditional "binge on everything in sight" diet, but its a lot healthier, which i hope is your primary reason for working out in the first place. The only time I would ever do a mass bulk like that is if im trying to cross a weight threshold for some sporting event (i.e. required weight for the rugby team, or advancement from lightweight to middle weight in boxing, or anything else that is extremely urgent). Also good luck on the cutting, its gonna be a bitch :P You probably remember swimming and running uphill wwhen you were less than 200lbs...now that you're 275...its gonna be a lot harder lol. On the plus side, you will burn fat quickly!

Sometimes (usually when im rewatching DB or DBZ...which is all the time...) I think about how would I bring back the Dragonball franchise in a manner that would please all the fans? First of all I cant just retcon/disavow GT because technically it is canon. I would need to find a way to come back to Dragonball while still dealing with the mess that was left behind by GT. Worse yet, everyone loves Dragonball because of the interactions between the characters...so you couldnt just make a new Dragonball franchise with a completely new cast of characters...With that in mind, the only character you could realistically bring back in a semi decent way is Goku. Maybe some new evil comes which forces the guardian of earth (Dende or someone in his long line of successors) to bring back the dragon, and with the dragon, bring back Goku. So you have him back.

You could technically have Goku wish all his friends back, but I feel that would just feel way too forced, unless you could think of a good story reason for him doing so. Either way you'd have to bring back Goku's friends, or have him interact with the descendants of his friends. Another problem would be making new SSJ levels. since SSJ4 has black hair, it could be like tier 2 of a normal Saiyan. then when he goes above SSJ4, his hair turns gold again but with the fur til he looks more and more like the Golden Oozaru. I dunno...Pretty much the way GT ended its damn near impossible to bring back the franchise in any meaningful way. I think we just need to accept that the only thing we can expect from the DB universe is more games, and more movies....series are out of the question now.

My biggest problem with GT, apart from it sucking Godzilla's balls, is that it effectively kills off the story. Its just like Xmen 3 or Iron Man 3. They are shit movies that ended in a way that pretty much made it impossible (or very hard) for anyone to continue the series and have it still be good. That's why we don't have Xmen 4 and are now on the First Class saga. Same thing happened with GT. Dragonball was a fantastic series and ended open to a sequel, that sequel was Dragonball Z which I also think was a fantastic series that changed the overall tone of the original series from comedy to a more serious tone. Then came the abomination that was GT. The moment Goku became a little kid I knew this shit was over. They tried to mix the comedic style of Dragonball with the serious tone of Dragonball Z, and they failed at both. Then to make it ever worse, once they failed they made sure that no one else could pick up where they left off and try to redeem the series.

A right should be valid and respected regardless of the circumstances. A woman's right to choose what happens to her body is her right regardless of the population crisis. In such a situation, it would be more beneficial for the remaining authority to give women incentives to procreate as much as possible. Perhaps monetary incentives or better access to certain services or equipment.

for some reason I read the thread title as world's fastest man lol :P
