Naruto and Sasuke stared in shock. How could Sherlock try to kill his own best friend?
"Hey, mister!" Naruto shouted. "Just what the Hell is this all about?"
"You idiots! Look closely! Whoever this is, it isn't John!" Sherlock shouted back.
The two shinobi looked back at Dr. Watson. He had caught the kunai in between his fingers and was smiling a twisted smile, something both of them had never seen Dr. Watson do.
"How did you know?" the person wearing John's face hissed, sounding more inconvenienced than shocked. "And I tried so hard to hide..."
Sasuke staggered back. He recognized that cold, snakelike voice. Sherlock just reached for another kunai, clearly unaware of who his opponent really was.
"Unfortunately, you have my employer at a crossroads, Mr. Moriarty." smirked Kabuto. "See, he needs that file for...well, they wouldn't be secret agendas if I just told you, right?"
Moriarty chuckled. "Well? What's King Hiss going to do about it?"
"I'm glad you asked that, actually. Because I wasn't sent to negotiate with you, Mr. Moriarty." Kabuto broke into a run towards the man in the suit, drawing his kunai while sprinting. "I was sent to kill you!"
Moriarty did a few hand seals and blew at Kabuto. The ninja jumped back, narrowly missing Moriarty's Fireball Jutsu. "W-what?" the genin stuttered.
"By the way, pretty-boy." Moriarty said, grinning. "If you'd done your homework, you'd have known something very important about me..."
Kabuto looked up at Moriarty's face. His eyes were red, with their irises warped into a black pinwheel shape. But that's impossible...
"Before 2008, my full name was...James Moriarty Uchiha!"
Marvel's also making a female Thor and putting Sam Wilson in Cap's costume while Steve Rogers is incapacitated. Olive branches, yes, but warped and splintered ones at that.
While I'm fine with changing race/gender in adaptations to other media, I question doing it in the actual comics. It's a given fact that all major comic book superheroes revert to their base state after a while. It's why everybody keeps bringing back Hal Jordan, why Dick Grayson was never going to keep the Batsuit forever, why Superior Spiderman was always going to end with Peter Parker regaining control. Therefore I have no confidence that any of these are going to stick, and I'd rather they make new superheroes that fit these roles rather than tweaking the old ones. I mean, sure, the new superheroes would get killed en-masse at the next crossover event, but bringing supes back from the dead is much harder than changing an established character.
Man is a most complex simple creature: see what he weaves, and how base his reasons for doing so.
Old news, yeah, and yes, it would be cool to have new characters instead of continuations on the legacy. Or at least, maybe female Thor can also get a new hammer of her own, like they did with Beta Ray Bill.
Because like, female Thor is awesome. I can think of no one more worthy of Mjolnir than female Thor.
ever notice how the enthusiasm people have for stuff you don’t like requires explanation, and the enthusiasm people have for stuff you do like requires none, including and especially your own enthusiasm?
And I question these two particular changes specifically.
Sam Wilson already has an established career as the Falcon. So making him into Captain America is tacitly saying that, despite already being a superhero, he'll be doing more good by taking Steve's place because his legacy's not as important as continuing Cap's. At least when Bucky replaced him, that represented a sidekick taking his mentor's role.
Also, black Captain America has already been a thing twice, with both Isaiah Bradley and his grandson, the Patriot.
the female Thor thing I have more hope for, I'll admit, but I kind of feel that they already have female Thor in Lady Sif and that they could have just replaced Thor with Lady Sif and it'd have the same effect.
All the power outlets in my living room stopped working which means our internet is out so I'm going to be restricted to my phone until this gets fixed.

Donald Trump winning the Republican nomination would be the greatest thing to happen to the Democratic Party in decades

He's not an idiot, despite the public face he puts on, he's just very good at knowing what his target audience wants to hear, and what they want to hear is things like "all Mexicans are rapists".

Mysteriously, the party of people paranoid about having their jobs stolen by Mexicans are also the party of people who hire Mexicans for all their laborwork.

Honestly, at this point I think his chance of winning the Republican nomination depends on the details of the Republican primary delegate system, since if he doesn't win an outright majority, I think the sort of politically connected person who becomes a delegate is less likely to be a Trump supporter in a brokered convention.
Which, by the way, would be the most amazing situation if you ask me.

That's obviously wrong and stupid.
