    Maybe it has to do with Mammal vs Fowl? The English language has so many words that are pronounced the same yet have different meanings (and usually different spelling - unlike read and read).

    I used to have a book called something like, "Science of the X-Men", that explained how their fictional powers would be ranked if they were real. Magneto was deemed the most powerful X-Men character because of his abilities to manipulate Earth's magnetic fields (among other things). They said, realistically, his powers were seemingly infinite. I think that Havoc was ranked #2, IIRC.

    True. I remember getting Magneto #0 and Cable #1 as a kid because of their shiny foil covers. Although, Magneto was also one of my favorite X-Men characters, playing a part in that purchase.

    This is a dangerous/incorrect statement IMO. My understanding is that the foil, variant, and other 'hype' advertising ("1st Issue Collector's Edition!") "crashed" the market back then. I personally love the comic art and content of the 90's and think it's some of the best that is available to read. Everything else you've said is spot-on, though.

    "I am looking for information..." Quickly turned into: "Let me tell you everything about this..." We get it. You like to read yourself post. Hop on an MMORPG and tell someone else who doesn't give a , instead. Kthxbai.

    I'm thinking about a 6.5 with the stain.

    I screwed my education up. I could paint myself as a victim and say that the system failed me, but, I knew exactly what I was doing when I did it. The education system just isn't a good fit for someone like me. And the entire system wasn't against me. As an example: I applied for Algebra 2. I was put into Basic Math 2. I skipped class for 2 extra lunches the first 10 classes/2 weeks. They found out (quick), and my counselor switched my schedule to give me 2 full hours of Basic Music - where I could play guitar for the last 2 hours of my day. The system IMO needs to be geared/tuned more-specifically to students' ambitions. I know that can be tough, but alternatively, removing obstacles is a much more dangerous route. Babying is the wrong approach. We need to breed contributing adults. I ended up in a great place by the time I was 25 despite being an academic failure. What does this have to do with Star Wars? Well, if Rian Johnson wasn't raised to be such a participation-trophy loser, maybe The Last Jedi wouldn't have been an abomination.

    You know what not winning a participation medal did to me in elementary school? It made me want to win a ing medal next year. I won nothing in 4th grade track races. In 5th grade? 2nd place. Kids will find that drive in one way or another. If it's not sports? Maybe it's art. Maybe it's science. Maybe it's academics. They need a drive to do something in life. They need a drive that will translate into contributing to society later in life.
