I made G-posts for MCU and Invincible and it was a pretty mixed response, so here’s something that maybe is a bit more decisive:

MonsterVerse King Ghidorah suddenly appears in The Boys universe and begins attempting to establish himself as Earth’s Alpha. Nobody has prior knowledge of Ghidorah or his abilities.

Round 1 — Ghidorah appears outside New York. Vought can deploy Homelander, the Seven, and any other Supes under its control.

Round 2 — Every living Supe puts aside their differences to stop Ghidorah, including Homelander, Soldier Boy, and all other available heavy hitters.

Round 3 — Everyone on Earth recognizes Ghidorah as an extinction-level threat. All Supes, Vought, the Boys, and the world’s militaries cooperate. They have one week of preparation before Ghidorah arrives.

I’m assuming this is very heavily sided, if not a stomp, in Ghidorah’s favor, so Ghidorah wins only if he can defeat organized resistance and successfully terraform Earth.

The Boys universe wins if they can prevent Ghidorah from terraforming the planet for at least one year…. Or, you know, kill him. Maybe.

Can anyone in The Boys actually hurt Ghidorah, or does this immediately become an extinction event?

MonsterVerse King Ghidorah appears in the MCU at the beginning of The Avengers (2012). Ghidorah somehow knows what the six Infinity Stones are, and has the same intelligence that he demonstrates in KotM and GvK (planning, revenge, sadism, rational thought, etc.) so he can find where they are located as that information becomes available (maybe he can sense their radiation or something), and he decides he must collect all six.

The MCU initially has no knowledge of Ghidorah beyond what they can observe. Everyone remains in-character, but heroes, villains, governments, and cosmic factions can respond naturally as Ghidorah becomes a larger threat.

Ghidorah can travel through space and physically possess the Stones without being immediately killed by their energy.

Ghidorah wins if he acquires and possesses all six Stones simultaneously. The MCU wins if Ghidorah is permanently killed or otherwise rendered incapable of continuing his hunt.

How many Stones does Ghidorah get, in what order, and who ultimately stops him?

I got a gift card but don’t want to waste it at a location that gives chintzy portions. Thanks!

I’m on the hunt for a good cheap bagel. Are there any traditional bagel shops left within San Diego city limits that still sell a basic bagel with schmear for under $3?I know inflation has hit breakfast hard, and a lot of the trendy spots are charging $5–$7+ just for a single bagel with schmear. I'm looking for those classic, no-frills, old-school spots, like maybe a hidden gem in a strip mall or a long-standing local staple. I still want them to keep their prices down to earth.

Bonus points if they actually boil them traditionally! Drop your recommendations (and current prices if you know them) below. Thanks!

Looks like Mesa actually did approve the Site 17 redevelopment back in June. I didn’t see anything posted about this, so I figured I’d share.

MonsterVerse King Ghidorah suddenly arrives on Earth in the Invincible universe. Nobody has prior knowledge of Ghidorah or his abilities. Ghidorah is in-character and intends to establish himself as Earth’s Alpha.

Round 1: Ghidorah appears during Season 1. The GDA and Earth’s active heroes respond.

Round 2: Ghidorah appears during Season 3. Earth gets 24 hours of warning and basic knowledge of his abilities.

Round 3: Ghidorah arrives at the height of Earth’s available defenses. Every Earth-based hero, villain, and organization temporarily cooperates against him.

Ghidorah wins if he can overwhelm Earth’s defenders and establish control of the planet. Earth wins if they kill, permanently incapacitate, or drive Ghidorah off-world.

What happens in each round?

Godzilla (Minus One) suddenly appears off the coast of New York City in the MCU. The heroes have no prior knowledge of Godzilla, his abilities, or his regeneration.

Round 1: 2012 MCU. Godzilla appears shortly before the events of The Avengers. The original Avengers roster responds.

Round 2: 2016 MCU. Godzilla appears around the time of Civil War. All active Earth-based heroes cooperate against him.

Round 3: 2023 MCU. Godzilla appears without warning and immediately begins approaching Manhattan. All Earth-based heroes and organizations available at the time can respond.

Big G wins if he successfully devastates Manhattan and survives the response. The MCU wins if they kill, permanently incapacitate, or drive Godzilla away before Manhattan is effectively destroyed.
What happens in each round?

Peak MCU Ultron (vibranium body + drone network) is dropped into the world of It. Pennywise is the 2017 version. Victory is by permanent defeat or incapacitation.

Round 1: Ultron can sense Its presence but doesn’t know what It is. It doesn’t know Ultron exists.

Round 2: Both have full knowledge of each other’s abilities and weaknesses.

Round 3: Ultron arrives on earth 27 years early with full manufacturing capabilities and decades to prepare. It follows Its normal cycle, and both know the other exists but not each other’s location.

Who wins each round, and why? Ultron will stop at nothing to erase It from existence (take that as far as you care to) and It just wants to be left alone and undiscovered.

I want five plates of pancakes and five plates of bacon and five plates of eggs and maybe some croissants and fruit too. Who has the cheapest breakfast buffet? I’ll go to a restaurant, a hospital, a hotel, a fire department’s kitchen, a university cafeteria, whatever. I just want the cheapest breakfast buffet where I can get a ton of food!

Thanks

Hello! I’m looking for recommendations for the best hotel breakfast buffet in San Diego that’s open to the public. I’m mainly interested in places that offer the best combination of quality and price. I’m not looking for the most expensive or luxurious breakfast but I guess just somewhere with good food, good portions, and a reasonable price.

One thing I think about is the dollar-to-calorie ratio and which hotel restaurants still provide the best overall value? Which hotel breakfast buffet do you recommend that you get the most for your money while still serving high-quality food? I’d especially appreciate recommendations for places that are lesser known.

So far the only one I’ve been to is the Marina Kitchen in the Marriott Marquis Downtown, and that was really yummy but really expensive.

I would really love to find some organic (or at least synthetic-free) hiking boots that also provide arch support and decent cushioning. Please let me know what has worked for you in the past!

I would love to find a French bakery that bakes all of its breads and pastries in-house from fresh-made dough. I would prefer not to go to a chain since they obviously will be using pre-made doughs. I’m not having much luck on Google Maps; it’s just throwing out every bakery (including Einstein bros) when I search for a Boulangerie.

Thanks!

I would love to find a French bakery that bakes all of its breads and pastries in-house from fresh-made dough. I would prefer not to go to a chain since they obviously will be using pre-made doughs, and would prefer not to spend more than $4 on a croissant. I’m not having much luck on Google Maps; it’s just throwing out every bakery (including Einstein bros) when I search for a Boulangerie.

Thanks!

EDIT: it looks like there’s not a single patisserie or Boulangerie in Phoenix that sells a plain butter croissant for under $4, so I will just call it here; I’m not getting what I want, and that’s okay. Thanks everyone for the recommendations though!
