    ...which is exactly how Shade Tail likes it. 
    Honestly, I don't think Gen. Shade-Tail is a mage.  The few comics he has at all been in (assuming you count word balloons from off-panel), he comes across as a brute.  Dan could turn him around and put him in a blender and pour out a mage, but I'm thinking he (shade-Tail) will come across as the full, scary potential of what you get with a Lespuko-Uryouom hybrid.  Grace embraced her inner monster and made it fuzzy and cute.  I'm thinking Shade Tail embraced his inner monster too...and became and even bigger one.

    Abs made of abs! When life gives you abs, tighten and divide them until you've got abs to spare, then burn life's house with the power of your abs! ABS!

    Probably only because FOOF (dioxygen difluoride) technically isn't flammable at all.
    (In the presence of FOOF, practically everything else is flammable, and most other things at least border on being explosive. Water, for example, burns like crazy - and the smoke will melt your lungs.)
    Catch is... thinking about chlorine trifluoride, I suspect it actually isn't flammable either.

    Chlorine Trifluoride is arguably the most flammable chemical known to humanity. It can burn almost anything, even things that are normally considered inflammable, like sand and asbestos. To quote Wikipedia, "In an industrial accident, a spill of 900 kg of chlorine trifluoride burned through 30 cm of concrete and 90 cm of gravel beneath" And if spilled on something, there is no way to extinguish it other than letting it burn itself out. It reacts violently with water, so it will explode if you try to put it out with anything water-based. It is its own oxidizer, so atmospheric displacing extinguishers like CO2 and halon do nothing to it. Though it can be safely stored in an air-tight steel drum as long as you're very careful with it.

    Well, it DID seemed there will be war based on Broken Bow ... but, yes, somehow it didn't happened ...
    My point was that what ST12 did with technology is even worse than what ST11 did with continuity.
    (Also, good job with upholding temporal prime directive, Spock.)
    ... hey, maybe they solve the continuity problem by making another movie in which someone PREVENTS Narada from going back in time, therefore returning the normal continuity!
    ... alternatively, you can explain ALL discontinuities by the temporal war being in progress, so the continuity keeps changing. Apparently, the scenarists are affected too, but we are outside the effect and therefore can observe it.
    (Show me which other show had that good excuse. And that's not even taking Q into account.)
    (EDIT: Ok. Doctor Who, I guess.)

    I think TNG does that all on it's own, I mean there's the borg cubes, and the espisode "Power Play" essentially had ghosts possessing crew members, and an attempt to extract and contain them.

    Also, the word "reboot" implies that they're discarding the old franchise and making it all anew, but they're very deliberately leaning on the originals.
    The best comparison I can think of is if in Die hard 4.0 they replaced Bruce Willis with some random Asian guy (for example), but still called him John McClane. Saying that it's a reboot but still using the original stuff... I don't even know man. This is why I don't make movies I guess.

    It technically hasn't been ever brought up, though the characters do know about magic's flair for the dramatic. Knowing Moperville North (the school), characters might already not take the world "entirely serious", so I think most characters automatically don't really worry about it like we would in real life? It's like they know they are in a cartoon. Knowing the fourth-wall breaking aspects of the very early days, this may even technically be true.
    I don't think discussing whether the characters know that they are "perfectly safe" from the "dangers" of magic is a valuable discussion, other than philosophical "meta" discussions
    Characters would be more worried about being "stuck" in a form than about magic changing their brain or resulting in physical damage.
    I just realized Vladia falls completely out of this idea. I blame "the early days of the comic" again.

    Isn't his expectations as to how his other forms think and act shaping them into being more like that? They likely have basic natures, i.e. Mild Mannered is, well, well mannered and unlikely to go to extremes, but probably can range approaching Velma levels of SRS BSNS inspired by Tedd on a quest, all the way to Fluttershy levels of social anxiety. It's unlikely she's cripplingly timid since magic is way more convenient than that... Although, saying that, do the characters in-continuity know the "It's More Fun That Way" rule we know from outside continuity periods?
     
    Otherwise Elliot's magic is terrifying, since he rewrites his brain chemistry to alter his personality every time he transfoms, and that can't be good!

    Because war... war never changes.
    You can try to play nice, and be the peaceful mediator, but eventually, you'll realise you're a lone Courier in a world forged in flame into an awful temper.
    Especially when idiots who model themselves after Romans in dress but fail to understand Roman philosophy, tactics, even ethics. Sure, the Romans weren't great, but still. There's more to Rome than crucifixions and mangled Latin.
    If this false Caesar was not into Romans, he might well have been into Native American stuff. Or arab stuff. Or modelled himself after the British empire. The wasteland could do with a cup of tea.
     
    And the outcome would have been the same. A gang of mad dog killers, aping their betters from history, but failing to learn from it.
     
    Maybe they were going for a cargo cult, by shaping themselves to be reminscent of Rome, they would attract the trappings of the rest of Rome, but alas, all they've done is proven is that their version of Rome can burn down into nothing in just one day.

    That's Jennifer Hale's skill at play. Lady has been just about every female character in cartoons and games since the 90s.
    Seriously, most main character Marvel or DC ladies have had her.
     
    Black Cat? Hale.
    Poison Ivy? Hale.
    Spider-Woman? Hale.
    Martha Kent? Hale.
    Captain Marvel? Hale.
    Mary Jane Watson and Miss Vermin in the Spiderman Unlimited series? Hale.
    Bastilla Shan? Hale.
    Aayla Secura, possibly in a video game? Hale.
    the video game voice of Dory from Finding Nemo and Galadriel from Lord of the Rings, since apparently I guess they couldn't afford their main voice actors for thevideo games? Hale.
    Cinderella in the awesome time travel and actual conflict direct to video sequel known as Cinderella III? Hale.
     
    She has basically been every enjoyable character in animation and in gaming. It surprises me she hasn't been a Lara Croft yet, but it's a matter of time and availability of an opening I guess.
    More than half of the female characters I enjoyed as a kid had her behind the voice.

    Mass Effect is a game where all the power lies with the female variant protagonist rather than the male. Admittedly this is mainly due to the voice actress who is so stupendously good that she puts poor male Shepard quite to shame.

    For all the comments Mass Effect gets, the "romance" options tend to be very vanilla.  It's as if no one on the design team read a sci fi book, or read anything honest about people on a ship for long periods of time. At the very least the Renegade path for Shepard should have allowed for polyamory for flavor reasons - though I'd argue that Paragon Shepard could be more than willing to help out a crewmate or two, or three ...
