Jai Alai: a dead sport still in existance

i just dont get it, why did Jai Alai wind up as a gambling sport? why didnt Jai Alai just became a major league team sport without the gambling and so on? there would have been a major professional league. look at it now, ever since the players strike from 1988 or something, the sport has died. would have been cool to see a video game made in honor of Jai Alai

Is it ever really cold?

I'm not as die hard as most for Walking Dead but I do enjoy it a lot. I just don't know a lot of minor details. I've seen everything except the new premiere which I read the spoilers on.
But my question is, is it ever cold? I can't remember ever seeing snow. But maybe they're in SAN Diego or something. I just thought of this because I think I'd try to go north where there could be some snow. It seemed to me the walkers would be much easier to kill. Could be wrong. Thoughts?

Power levels of various characters

I remember reading a while back an interview with Feige where he said how Marvel is planning ahead and having basically something like a big storyboard where they keep track of things happening and things to come.

Now with the MCU expanding and IW around the corner, we allready have vast amount of characters interacting with each other. And all of them have different power levels, and I think that Marvel should also keep some sort of track of the power levels of all these characters.
Something like a big board where speed, strength, durability is written. That way directors can know how hard certain character can punch and how much damage certain character can make.

A few examples of some power level inconsistencies in the past:
In Civil War Black Panther's speed and strength was on level of Captain America which is way above peak human. Yet in the airport fight scene Hawkeye was able to land a few punches. Also, for Hawkeye to be hit by Blackpanther would feel as if a normal human was hit by a heavy weight boxer.
In Guardians of the Galaxy, when Gamora was in prison she was overpowered by 3 prisoners.
If hulk buster armour can withstand hul'ks punches, it shouldn't be pierced by a steel pipe.

Hopefully for IW the Russos will manage to portay these different power levels properly.

Deadpool 2 News and Discussion

I thought it would be useful to create a 'Deadpool 2 News and Discussion' thread, instead of breaking up the discussion on the sequel between here and the original movie's section.
i
Ryan Reynolds will reprise his role as the 'Merc With a Mouth' Wade Wilson, aka Deadpool, and will produce Deadpool 2. Also returning are original scriptwriters Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick.

The sequel will feature popular comic book characters Cable and Domino.

Tim Miller, helmer of the original movie, has recently stepped down as director following conflicts with star/producer Ryan Reynolds.

news

Ryan Reynolds is appearing on TBS' 'Conan' November 3rd.

I doubt he will delve into the current situation with director Tim Miller, but maybe he will offer an update on Deadpool 2. The last time he appeared on the show was for the Deadpool trailer debut.
