Talk:Hasbro Q&A/July 2009: Answers

...oh, wow. We kinda went for the brass ring on question #3, didn't we?--Rosicrucian^Talk 19:03, 10 August 2009 (EDT)

Holy crap, that answer almost entirely salvages the 'multiversal singularity' absurdity all by itself! --Jimsorenson 19:09, 10 August 2009 (EDT)

Ahahahahaaa, that's fucking awesome! They basically said "It just does, okay? Leave us alone!" and gussied it up with lots of terminology. :D - Chris McFeely 19:10, 10 August 2009 (EDT)

In fact, I'd say we need to find a way to integrate that info into the article as soon as possible. It's as good an explanation as we're ever likely to get. Forrest Lee's bullshit-fu is strong.--Rosicrucian^Talk 19:10, 10 August 2009 (EDT)

That answer makes my brain hurt. I'll get back to you on whether it's a good hurt or a bad hurt or not. Still, it does kinda sorta explain things if you squint at it hard enough, including some other quirks (like whether Heatwave has a spark or an ember...)

BTW, a dimension where everyone experiences time like Merlin is freakin' awesome. Someone needs to write about that. --Jeysie 19:13, 10 August 2009 (EDT)

This is goddamn insane. I love it. Antimatter 19:24, 10 August 2009 (EDT)

Woooohooooo! They could have just given us a brush off, or "A wizard did it." But HUGE kudos to Hasbro for iving us an ACTUAL answer that totally works. Bravo. --76.28.72.27 19:26, 10 August 2009 (EDT)

Oh man, they (and by "they" I mean "Forest") TOTALLY answered my question, gloriously, and in an impressive bullshit-storm that will be echoed triumphantly across the eons. --ItsWalky 20:02, 10 August 2009 (EDT)

Yeah, I was totally prepared for a minute to toast the answer's quality, but as I tried to sum up why I thought it made sense, I realized I was deleting everything I was writing because, dammit, this answer doesn't explain a goddamn thing. It just sounds all authoritative and technical. Hooray for more retarded technobabble, I guess. - Jackpot 20:06, 10 August 2009 (EDT)

It's not great because it answers anything, it's great because it expressly not only answers nothing, but says "it doesn't actually matter at all" in a way that sounds cool. --Jeysie 20:14, 10 August 2009 (EDT)

It's pretty much one of the most-fun Q&A answers I've seen, because they just let Lee sit down and go nuts on it.--Rosicrucian^Talk 20:16, 10 August 2009 (EDT)

Advanced dimensional physics with children's toys! Someone should put something about it on our twitter thingy!. --abates 20:17, 10 August 2009 (EDT)

For a guy who can see all outcomes of all events throughout all dimensions for all eternity forever and ever amen, the Fallen sure is fucking stupid and loses all the time. It's like in "Big Trouble In Little China" where Lo-Pan's ghost is an all-powerful wizard who's been ruling the world from behind the scenes for 2000 years but he couldn't get what he REALLY wanted because he never found a girl with green eyes. --Thylacine 2000 21:17, 10 August 2009 (EDT)

Agreed. Also, Lee's answer comes really close to actually nailing the most objectionable thing about the "multiversal singularity" idea: New timelines are being formed all the time by quantum uncertainty, so therefore the singularities must be disappearing from universes left and right in the middle of battles or whatever. Lee's answer begins to address that by saying that The Fallen actually DOES exist in all those different timelines, but he just perceives them all from some elevated point of view. But then Lee backpedals by saying that basically only one timeline will really "count" in the end, which is kind of anathema to how the TF multiverse works. - Jackpot 21:38, 10 August 2009 (EDT)
