Can they use [Snowflame](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_1Ng1yudcY&t=223s) as a villain in this series? If you’d rather not watch the video, he’s a DC villain who was in one issue of one comic who gained superpowers from **snorting cocaine.** **"Cocaine is my god, and I am the human instrument of its will!** 🙂 ---

> [@Little\_Nemo](#): > > It’s on Yahoo of all places. In an attempt to remind people that they still exist, Yahoo decided to begin streaming original series. Their flagship was _Community_, which they produced a sixth season for after it was cancelled by NBC. They also produced some original series; _Burning Love_, _We Need Help_, _Sin City Saints_, and _Other Space_. But the streaming site didn’t make back the costs of the shows and was shut down. But the [episodes](https://www.yahoo.com/tv/other-space-episode-1-into-the-great-211801697.html) are still available. …one of the most frustrating thing about Yahoo TV (or whatever it was they branded themselves) was that they didn’t tell anyone (outside of the US) how to watch any of their programmes. I was prepared to spend money to watch Community when it debuted. But Yahoo didn’t want it. They didn’t respond to social media queries. They didn’t put up an FAQ on how international viewers could watch it. Nothing. Radio silence. It turned out that Yahoo had licenced Community to local TV stations, but they didn’t tell anyone that. So we finally were able to watch it a month or so later. At the very least HULU are up front with not being able to accommodate international audiences. But Yahoo gave no information at all and didn’t respond to questions. ---

Milana Vayntrub actually LOOKS like a squirrel. In a positive way, I mean. A gorgeous squirrel. As for body type, I thought Squirrel Girl was noted for her enormous rear end (she stuffs her tail into her pants back there, too, in her secret identity duds), not her enormous rack. ---

> [@Miller](#): > > She’s neither of those things. Her gimmick is that she consistently wins fights against people who should be well outside her weight class, but she does it on panel, and she uses previously established story elements or abilities to do it. I believe her gimmick in Great Lakes Avengers was more like what **BigT** said (e.g., her win against Thanos was off panel). But in her current on-going series – which is the best thing ever if you like humor or friendship or computer science (and really, who doesn’t?) – she wins on panel through basically a mix of the three things I just listed. ---
