We ’ve got a lot to get through in this hebdomad ’s “ Postal Apocalypse ” — zombie , Agent Coulson , more snake god , Game of Thrones , and , of course of action , more superhero sex . So verify you send your questions to[email protected ] , and let ’s get start !
THE DYING DEAD
Flytrap :
Hey Rob ,
A Question about The Walking Dead : Something about the finale bothers me and keeps me from sleeping :
I get that if a Walker prick you , you get infected , die and turn into a Walker – check .
I get that , since everyone is infect , if you perish , you turn into a Walker – check .
But if everyone is already infected , how would getting minute matter ? You ’re already infected so it should n’t weigh , right ?
So , did Andrea buy the farm for nothing ? Dammit , I LIKED Andrea .
That ’s really a salutary point . I had n’t really thought about it , and the show has n’t really explain it at all , but it ’s seems that being bit by a zombi actually kills you , and then the virus already in your system turns you into a baby-walker . I mean , masses get routine , they die , they go zombie ; people die but do n’t get turn , they go zombie . .
I suppose it ’s potential there are two figure of the virus — a latent version that ’s presently chilling in our blood waiting for us to kick it , and then a more muscular one in the zombies that jumpstarts the outcome by also shoot down you .
S.H.I.E.L.D. ’S UP
Brian :
“ … Fox / Sony own the film rights to those Marvel characters which MCU do n’t ascertain . But those right do n’t extend to TV . Thus you have presently sketch where Avengers hang out with Spiderman or whatever , which you ca n’t do on film .
“ I ’m not saying it will happen , but do n’t be shocked if Spiderman or Wolverine or Fantastic Four or whoever pop up up on A.O.S. and that will be Marvel ’s loophole to contain them into the MCU ”
Now that seems just too obvious to me so sure the attorney were all over that back when they draw up contract . Could ABC actually reach much further into the Marvel back catalogue than we take over ?
Technically , Marvel ( and thus Disney ) do have the TV rights to Spider - Man , the X - Men and all the other character in the Marvel cosmos . So this is true , but I do n’t think we ’re in any peril of in reality seeing Spider - Man or Wolverine on SHIELD , and here ’s why .
Sony and Fox still have all the look-alike right field to their version of Spider - Man and the hug drug - manpower , so not only would Marvel have to recast the roles , but they ’d also have to verify they looked somewhat unlike . I do n’t know that that mean they ’d have to put Spidey in his black lawsuit or something , but I do lie with they could n’t use the flick courtship .
Now , a few nod should be fine — a mention of the Adam - homo on the newsworthiness , the Oscorp building added to New York City ’s skyline — but I think that ’s all we ’ll get . Putting Spider - Man on TV would be top-notch - expensive , just exceptional effects - wise , and one of the reasons they chose to do agent of SHIELD as opposed to a specific superhero show is to understate that cost . Also , using Spider - Man or the X - Men , while legal , would almost certainly wee-wee off Sony and Fox , and since Marvel is patiently hold off to get the motion picture rightfulness to its characters back , I doubt they need to damage those relationship .
And most importantly , what would they really make headway ? Marvel understandably is n’t quick to make a Spider - Man or X - Men video serial publication , and by adding them into Agents of SHIELD and bringing them into the Marvel movie - poetry as pocket-sized lineament , they ’d only be limit their late options for their movies . You cast Peter Parker , have something happen to him , have him meet Coulson — then it ’s pretty much is canyon for the Movie - verse , and it could be something that controvert what Marvel would after need to do in their own actual Spider - Man picture , if they ever get a probability .
So I ’d look for a few Easter Eggs , maybe a few mentions of these characters , but nothing like an real appearance .
realness BITES
Sean O’C :
Could you defang the zombie and then have them be harmless while we uninfected searched for a cure ? If someone got taint could you just take out all their tooth and make them harmless ?
No , because the zombies still have weapon system and fingernail and they could grab you and scratch you , and while that would n’t definitely turn you , it still could if they manage to lodge their infected tissue paper inside you . Even if you do n’t take to the cabbage theory , chances are the zombies would n’t stop trying to bite people just because they had no dentition , so then you have to deal with the living utter grabbing at you and gum you all the time .
Which is why you have to do the full Michonne , and chop up off their arms and bust their jaws , remove all their violative capability . If Walking Dead is correct , this also makes them docile . If so , cracking , but if not , I in person still would n’t take any chances — your body is full of fix and orifice , and even a jawless , armless zombie could get lucky and manage to salivate in your mouth while you slept or something .
SEX - MEN
J :
Hey Mr. Postal Apocalypse Guy ,
There ’s been a lot of sexual practice questions late … might as well retain with that trend . Because of the downswing in the thriftiness and everything , if Professor X had to convert the schooling to make some extra Johnny Cash , and it became a super brothel , who ’s his self-aggrandising money maker ? plain , if he could get Mystique , she ’d be the winner . Rogue is pretty bad for repeat customers ( or is a condom sufficient protection … ? ) And also , was Rubber Maid write specifically for this contingence ? And ALSO , Pimpfessor X is a pretty sweet new name .
Pimpfessor XXX ’s Home for Sexually Gifted Barely Legal Youngsters , eh ? All right then . I have to fence with your selection of Mystique , unfortunately — while her power to exchange into anyone would be a hell of a moneymaker , telepath Emma Frost ( or Jean Grey , if she happen to be alive at the metre ) could do all that an more without ever actually having sex with anybody . Emma could make the customers think they weer having the most mind - blowing sex of their intact life while she was busy reading the new John Grisham Holy Writ in the corner .
Assuming this is an adequate opportunity whorehouse , I imagine Wolverine would be somewhat high-pitched up on the lean , base on his popularity . While I think plenty of phratry would go for the jumbo Colossus , believing he ’s in - scale , I still contend Cyclops has the biggest penis of the X - humankind , so if Pimpfessor XXX somehow number his measurement on a menu or something , I think he ’d be a real earner .
Rogue would have to be the bad earner , because she could n’t . You ca n’t have any skin - to - skin contact with Rogue or she moderately much kills you , so literally the only action Rogue could leave is via a glorification hole where the client would still have to wear condoms , and I do n’t see a circumstances of guys ante up for that when Storm , Psylocke , Kitty Pryde , and everyone else are available .
As for Rubbermaid , while her name is uproarious , her power is actually just being hyper - elastic rubber , which would likely only be a draw play for auto - erotic suffocation enthusiasts — a specialty , to be certain . Also , she ’s depowered and currently dead , so … still a specialty , I guess .
Also , gross .
[ WARNING : POTENTIAL pamperer FOR THE NEXT EPISODE OF GAME OF THRONES AHEAD ]
Viv A. :
What do you think the chemical reaction will be after the next episode of Game of Thrones ?
First of all , allow me reiterate that if you do n’t recognise what ’s happening in the next GoT , you should probably skip this ( I put this at the end , so there ’s nothing else to read ) . Also , countenance me apologise to Viv for rewrite her question completely to be fitly shadowy .
