Lol My dude, this was plucked straight from my frontal lobe. I blinked several times when I read the prioritization of MODOK and SYMBIOTE yarns out of the numerous meaningful and momentous stories involving Galan. Then did a double take as that was followed up by impugning and lambasting the Galactus knowledge of anyone that supports the project. Well, I had no other choice than to immediately dismiss these criticisms as specious and comically suspect. Yeah, fuck that noise.

Beyond that being one mean run-on, Bookstoremagic, I'm curious about what you are implying here in the highlighted bit. Are you suggesting some long history with crowd-funding for Hasbro and Mattel? Additionally, are you suggesting these companies are somehow engaging in cooking the numbers? Is there any evidence for what you are suggesting, or is this just wildly irresponsible speculation?
