As I understood it, several Democrats did do exactly that. The GOP simply gave their seats to T fans, so there'd be no empty seats to make T look bad. I might wonder if it simply needed more Democrats to do the same, but imagine that no shortage of T fans were available, and they'd probably...

I don't for a moment imagine Bernie Sanders would have done better in the election. That's crazy talk.

Leaving aside the obvious problem, I thought we conducted such operations against our allies, anyway... we just try not to talk too loudly about it.

A bully. Plain and simple.

Green, at least, is a known option.

I think you're misunderstanding my intentions. I was simply saying that certain stories were never originally intended to fit into the main US continuity ("Man of Iron," in fact, differs from most other UK material in this regard). I only brought up the "not really trying too hard" bit after...

Put more in the language he'd likely use (only a tiny bit...), I suspect that he thinks that the nation as a whole is sicker because we fail to weed out the "weak" and "imperfect." Thus, by allowing diseases to take their course, the people who are left are stronger (and not just because the...

Worst case scenario, there IS a flu shot, but it looks an awful lot like this past year's flu shot, rather than taking advantage of the knowledge that would have gone into predicting this coming year's strains. It would still offer better protection than 1) nothing, or even 2) just relying on...

Fair enough, although it, at least, isn't trying too hard to fit things that don't go together. It largely stands on it's own. But perhaps I should have included it when I mentioned included the cartoon crossover (besides the UK stuff). It's obviously going to be included in the set, and no one...

Yeah, I've learned to ignore IDWs stuff. Again, if you like them, fine, but trying to say they "fit" is the kind of forcing of pegs I described earlier. It's not a clean fit at all.

I'm not really going to argue, but it's kind of forcing a square peg in a round hole... if the square peg is small enough, it WILL fit, but you know it's not really meant to.

Technically, three issues (the 2 Man of Iron, plus the cartoon adaptation) of the US comic aren't in its own continuity, but they'll almost certainly be included (Man of Iron is already implied to be in Vol.1 by virtue of being in the first 46 issues). But the Movie adaptation might well be left...

Let's see. 34 remaining issues of the monthly. 12 G2. 4 Universe. 4 Joe/TF. That's 54 right there... As much I like Universe, I imagine that just doing all of the US continuity stuff gets an even 50/50 split....

I'm not following your math. Headmasters is 4 issues. 44+4= 48, and 46+4 = 50.

This is also why most shows created for streaming services only last for a few seasons, at most. Returning shows don't tend to generate NEW subscriptions. At most, they retain existing ones, and the return on investment tends to decline on returning shows vs. all-new ones.

My understanding is that Hasbro (and Takara) contract for factory usage, rather than owning the factories outright, but otherwise, yes to everything you said. I was just hoping to stay out of that off-topic conversation, and simply point out that FunPub was routinely more expensive than what we...

Honestly, if we had that, we'd pretty much have a congress capable of using impeachment to actually remove a president.

Agreed. I said what I said because I was afraid that I might be doing so (FunPub is historically a contentious topic), and I wanted to avoid that....

There's really no question that HasLab is more economical that FunPub's offerings were. FunPub's exclusives were routinely 4 times as expensive as the toys that used the same molds previously had been. There are lots of reasons for this (not all of which are bad. Please, I'm not looking to start...
