I'm psyched my question fueled another follow up. It makes me feel more seen. Thanks, @mythial-blog
"If the focus is on the three worlds, there has to be a thematic (and mechanical) through line." The mechanical throughline seems straightforward enough to figure out; but what constitutes a thematic throughline? Does it require a story event running through all 3 planes (as with aetherdrift) or could it be something simple like "The Big Monster Planes" covering Ikoria, Muraganda and Tarkir. Then again, saying that, a territory dispute between the multiverse's biggest beasts would be cool plot.
It has to have a thematic through line that can have a mechanical component. The story taking place on all three isn’t enough.
Big agree, Friend. Love the set. Only slight disagreement is I love Bloomburrow more, methinks, at least for now.
After so many core sets, you guys absolutely nailed it with Foundations. Best set of the year (a high bar against Bloomburrow). I’m drafting it a lot having tons of fun. Right mix of traditional and modern magic, accessible but not boring, you really mastered the core set foundation. Please, would you be so kind to apply generous high fives to everyone involved on its creation? Thank you.
Will do.
It's worth noting that there are some extraordinary people in the world who have been quietly doing the work for decades, and they should be celebrated with all the fervor that we denounce the villains. I first read about Harrison twenty-odd years ago, when he'd already been doing this for about fifty years, and this is one of those guys whose life can, indeed, be summed up by his headline.
James Harrison saved millions of lives. Millions. Not with anything flashy or dramatic, not with profound speeches or brilliant strategy or any of the things we insist are the ways to impact the world. He simply kept himself as healthy as possible so that every few weeks he could go and sit quietly in a room and give away a fundamental part of himself — quite literally his lifeblood — to people he'd never meet, for no pay and no expectation of acknowledgement. (He was, it should be said, acknowledged quite a lot per this article, but that's beside the point.)
When we talk about the kind of people we want to elevate and celebrate in our societies, I often think of people like James Harrison. I hope we get more of him; not just for his blood, but for his heart.
Need is and always has been the wrong metric.
We don't NEED movies or most any art at all. I forget which ancient Greek it was that settled on needing not even a cup to drink to from once he learned to use his hands. We NEED very little, and that's assuming the the need at all is to survive.
I want six+ more sequels to James Gunn's The Suicide Squad, and I'm interested in seeing one or two more of those holiday portals from The Nightmare Before Christmas, amongst other as yet non existent concepts from my own head or other stories. Obviously I don't NEED them, but if done well, it would be enormous fun and/ or satisfying, and that's what I want.
Unless that toad has psychic defenses (or Jace had his memory wiped just prior to this fight) this is over before it begins, maybe literally, and Jace doesn't lose to toad that a) thinks they're friends or b) doesn't remember anything at all or c) is replaying some kind of lava bug eating fantasy

But like a Sailor before the mast of Davey Jones, judgment can absolutely be forestalled. And it has been for far too long.
Here's your good news post for the day.
Content I'd love to see, as a movie, short, or anything in between.
I smell a franchise in Character X and Character Y (gender norms unintended) Verb [Topical] Right
Brock Samson and Sailor Moon Eviscerate Tyrannical Sympathizers
That sounds like a f***ing party and I'm very pleased with myself.
