I was curious to see who was the best player born on each day of the year. It turned out to be a bit more of a struggle than I thought it was going to be, so I decided to simply sort it by WAR. Does that mean that sometimes a better player got left off the list for a player who simply had a longer career? Absolutely. But WAR is a nice simple stat. So, here's the list!

Considering the topic, obvious spoilers.

>!Johnny Storm’s last stand!< from Fantastic Four #587: One of Hickman’s finest issues in a fantastic run. >!Johnny has sealed himself in the Negative Zone, Ben powerless to help as his rocky powers were inactive until the portal was closed. Johnny Storm stands alone, Annihilus and his army ready to tear him limb from limb. What does Johnny do? What he does best against impossible odds, go down swinging. Shine on matchstick!<

>!Zack Fair’s last stand in Crisis Core.!< Talk about a game taking a character that had like 5 lines of dialogue and making you cry your goddamn heart out it. Personally the thing that always struck me about it that no one seems to mention is >!as Zack takes more damage the flashes of the figures in the roulette appear, the last one being Aerith of course. It’s his life flashing before his eyes and what’s the last thing he sees? The woman he loves. Fly away hero.!<

>!John Marston in Red Dead Redemption!< Still holds up after all these years. All that work and hardship for nothing. At least there’s one last moment to go out in a blaze of glory, standing on his feet for just enough to spite >!Ross and his cronies. Ride off into the sunset John.!<

Honorary mention to the real life Noble 14. For those who don’t know, after Microsoft shut down the Xbox Live servers for Halo 2, the "Noble Fourteen" were players who simply refused to log off and stayed in the game, continuing the game's final deathmatch. At one point, Bungie tried to bribe them with Halo Reach beta codes, but twelve remained. The last of them was disconnected (involuntarily) on May 10th, more than a month after the official shutdown date.

I’ll go first. Spectacular Spider-Man 200, the death of Harry Osborn. The last 2 pages have 0 dialogue and his demise after saving his friends/family is told only through a series of wordless panels, ending with an old framed pic of Harry and Peter from back in college. It wrecked me emotionally when I first read it as a 12 year old, and it still gets me choked up to this day.

Who else? Would love to hear some good ones!

I feel like it's very polarizing... Many FF fans think it's some of the best FF comics in the last 20 years... others find it to be average at best and the worst modern run at worst. Thoughts?

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

Let’s give the first family of Marvel some love since the book is back in the spotlight for fixing She Hulk soon (thank god). There’s tons I can’t pick from, so here’s just a ones that came to mind for me.

-Too goddamn many for The Thing, so it’s a tie between his refusal to surrender against The Champion and his fight against The Hulk in World War Hulk. The Champion fight I’ve talked about before, so I’ll sum it up: The Champion has kicked the ass of every powerhouse in Marvel (Hulk, Thor, Colossus, Wonder Man, etc) leaving only The Thing to fight. Ben barely makes it to round two and the Champion is about to be declared the winner, when Ben declares that he’ll never quit, no matter how beaten and broken he is. The Champion declares him the winner, saying he could never break his spirit.

The fight with Hulk has one of my favorite lines from Ben. Hulk’s on the warpath and is basically unstoppable, having flattened Johnny in moments. What’s Ben say to these impossible odds? “"People been tellin' me that all my life, fella. But Mama Grimm's blue-eyed boy never walks away when it's clobberin' time.". Might not have won that round, but he was the first person to make the unstoppable Hulk bleed since he got to earth.

-Reed Richards saves a jumper: I’ve posted this before, and I’ll say it again a thousand times; this is Reed Richards finest moment. He may be Mr. Fantastic, world’s smartest man (get bent Hank) who can solve anything given enough time, but it’s the moments where he shows his compassion where he’s strongest. Reed’s got his problems, h

Hi all, u/draftnikduff here and I wanted to make my writing about college basketball and the NBA draft a little more regular here.

Five Big Takeaways:

I Can Already Feel Myself Eating Crow On My (Relative) Holmgren Pessimism

My two biggest questions with Holmgren was whether his frame would allow him to get the most out of his motor on both this level and the next. I was worried about how Holmgren would be able to face up against bigger NBA big men in terms of low post defense and rebounding. I argued that while his ball skills and defense are impressive, if he got played off the floor in other regards, his high potential would be limited. And while I still think that’s the knock against Holmgren, Gonzaga’s first two bits of action have given me a little taste of the toughness and motor I saw praised so highly. In Texas he got knocked around a bit, and he was mostly just put in the dunker spot to get an easy bucket in case Texas decided to triple team Timme. But the impressive thing about that game is what didn’t show up in the box score which is that Holmgren almost singlehandedly discouraged a team with some of the most seasoned guards in the country from running the pick and roll. Holmgren’s ability to protect the paint and cover ground at an elite level o

Alot of great jokes get posted here! However just because you have a joke, doesn't mean it's a dad joke.

THIS IS NOT ABOUT NSFW, THIS IS ABOUT LONG JOKES, BLONDE JOKES, SEXUAL JOKES, KNOCK KNOCK JOKES, POLITICAL JOKES, ETC BEING POSTED IN A DAD JOKE SUB

Try telling these sexual jokes that get posted here, to your kid and see how your spouse likes it.. if that goes well, Try telling one of your friends kid about your sex life being like Coca cola, first it was normal, than light and now zero , and see if the parents are OK with you telling their kid the "dad joke"

I'm not even referencing the NSFW, I'm saying Dad jokes are corny, and sometimes painful, not sexual

So check out r/jokes for all types of jokes

r/unclejokes for dirty jokes

r/3amjokes for real weird and alot of OC

r/cleandadjokes If your really sick of seeing not dad jokes in r/dadjokes

Punchline !

Edit: this is not a post about NSFW , This is about jokes, knock knock jokes, blonde jokes, political jokes etc being posted in a dad joke sub

Edit 2: don't touch the thermostat

The doctor says it terminal.

Do your worst!

How the hell am I suppose to know when it’s raining in Sweden?

Mathematical puns makes me number

Ants don’t even have the concept fathers, let alone a good dad joke. Keep r/ants out of my r/dadjokes.

But no, seriously. I understand rule 7 is great to have intelligent discussion, but sometimes it feels like 1 in 10 posts here is someone getting upset about the jokes on this sub. Let the mods deal with it, they regulate the sub.

We told her she can lean on us for support. Although, we are going to have to change her driver's license, her height is going down by a foot. I don't want to go too far out on a limb here but it better not be a hack job.

They were cooked in Greece.

I'm surprised it hasn't decade.

Now that I listen to albums, I hardly ever leave the house.

Don't you know a good pun is its own reword?

Two muffins are in an oven, one muffin looks at the other and says "is it just me, or is it hot in here?"

Then the other muffin says "AHH, TALKING MUFFIN!!!"

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.

I said "hey look, an escaPEA"

No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!

Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂

It really does, I swear!

And now I’m cannelloni
