With This Ring (Young Justice SI) (Thread Fourteen)

[Dur'id the Druid]

I'd love to see their reaction to our crazier fiction, though, especially science fiction and superheroes.

And the parodies. The more centralized governments hate those for some reason. And the horror movies, Pinhead and other supernatural get to terroify another planet that had a lot of actual trouble with demonic cults.

Not envying OL right now.
What a pain in the ass.
Ganbatte, OL-san!

If that is what you are referring to"

Thank you, corrected.

Last time some said this, a group went on the warpath because they knew he was on-hold.

I'm sure they've learned their lesson.

But can't Earth just use Mars content instead?

I imagine practically everything on Mars is made with an assumption of group telepathy, which is bit more difficult to adapt than different language and 3D movement.

"Sub titles..? Written translations on the screen?"

Interesting that either Thanagar has no concept of subtitles, or this woman hasn't heard of them. If they have very good translation tech then subs may have died out in favour of very good dubs, but I'd've thought they'd still have to cater to deaf people to an extent.

"Ah… Okay, consider me warned. I'm not really sure… What the cost of this licence is or what restrictions they'll be anyway, so I can't decide whether the issues you raised affect the perceived value…"

'there'll'?

Thanagarians have been… Comprehensive, in their cultural shift. While the cities all predate the Equalizing Plague, there are no government buildings which do. And not because they were torn down during the… I'm not sure what to call it, exactly. Putsch? Is it a putsch if you don't kill your ruler, just kick them out? 'Uprising' suggests an improvised mass movement, and… Looking at the official history and Bleez's family's private records, I'm not.. sure how much support the coup actually had. Palace coup, then.

"The Equalizing Plague really messed everyone up, right?"

Click to shrink...

"Is that really the issue? Just… Limit us to things made before the Equalising Plague. Your doctrine's completely changed since then."

Click to shrink...

Should all be 'Equalising' I think, or maybe 'Equalizing'.

"We're not really an interstellar civilisation, we've just got a small number of crazy geniuses who build stuff for themselves and then don't share with the rest of us. Thaddeus Sivana and Theodore Knight, in this case. Even if we wanted to attack Thanagar or aid its enemies, we couldn't. And we don't, because as I said we've got our own problems and don't have anything against you in the first place."

Did Captain Comet have one too? He might've just used telekinesis, can't recall.

"Then wouldn't alien media cause you people problems. If they're not familiar with other species."

Click to shrink...

'your'?

Maybe the mistake was going through the government in the first place. Once you do that, they aren't interested in making money, they're interested in risks.

Click to shrink...

I imagine it'd be difficult to get this stuff from the private sector when the government is so authoritarian.

He can just pirate their content. What are they going to do? But can't Earth just use Mars content instead? They do seem to be psychologically similar enough to love Earth content.

Probably not a good idea for Earth to steal from its interstellar neighbour, who they currently enjoy fairly good relations with.
