Round 2 of facial hair...

Couldn't include some more Zombies characters because of the stupid limit so include them in tags as well as anyone else from the BO series!

Knowing how the Aether timeline had campaign connections like with the Ascension group (Yuri and Gersch are members), Nova crawlers, SDF zombies, and Roebuck getting a mention in Classified makes me wonder what happened to the Aether timeline campaign characters.

Like it’s obvious Executive Order never happens because of the events of Ascension and most likely Dragovitch and Kravchenko ended up biting it due to the zombies meaning Mason is still a sleeper agent and Dragovitch’s plan to unleash Nova-6 on the US fell apart when him and his lieutenant died.

Steiner possibly surrendered and defected to the US with no problems but was most likely killed by Mason since he still remembers his orders. No doubt an imaginary Reznov will be by his side or Mason was exposed as a sleeper agent then got help from Hudson.

Woods and Bowman are also possibly still alive and would probably encounter Menendez who still becomes a terrorist but his plan falls apart when the rockets hit earth.

Masters of the Air Asks!

I haven’t seen one of these yet so imma see if anyone likes them.

What is your favorite episode?

What is your least favorite episode?

If you read the book, how did you feel about the timeline of the show versus how it was explained in the book?

Buck or Bucky?

Which episode wrecked you the most emotionally?

Which characters death hit you the hardest?

Do you have a favorite MotA fic? If so, can you link it?

Who was your favorite pair in the show?

Aside from Buck and Bucky, who is your favorite friend pair on the show?

This is the first of the war fandom shows to be streaming service specific (I believe) on AppleTV. Did you watch each week? Did you wait until it all aired and watched at once? Did you share with a friend?

Which actor was most suited for their role in the show?

Is there a part of the show you usually skipped?

How many times have you watched the show so far? If so, how many?

Rank your order of the war shows (Pacific, BoB, GK, MotA)

Do you have a comfort character?

If you had kids (pets or otherwise), who would you let babysit? Who would you never let babysit?

Which character did you feel deserved more screen time?

Who is the most underrated character?

Do you have a favorite quote from the show? If so, what is it?

Who do you want to be your best friend?

Which storyline did you enjoy the most?

Do you think they covered enough in the amount of episodes, or should there have been more?

Who would you not let date your friend/sibling/etc?

If you could have a show about one of the characters after the war, who would it be?

Which MotA character would you want to meet in person? Either the actor, or real life person.

Rate the show 1-5 stars, and tell us why!

If there was anything you wish could have been included, what would it be?

This show wasn’t produced or made in partner with HBO. Do you feel there was a difference in production? If so, did it make it better or worse?

If I missed anything, let me know! Thank you @itstheheebiejeebies for the encouragement and help always ❤️

Hi You're very open to the Black Ops series and I wanted to know, by curiosity, if there's anything canon in the series that you wish didn't happen (not taking BO4 into account, it never happened), like a detail about a character, relationships, events, etc...

Oh my gosh! Great question! I think most of what I'd like to change about canon would be what I wish they had added. But I still have a few moments I'd like removed.

My big canon-changing one is:

Bowman's death. I realize he's very dead. There was a part of me for a while that just wanted to say fuck canon, maybe he was just injured, they got him out somehow. I really liked Bowman and I just think he deserved an "I lived bitch" moment.

Also there are things I'd like removed that I think fanon took too far.

One would be Woods' infamous Cold War onion line. A simple search would reveal that "knowing your onions" was a common turn of phrase for someone of that generation. But also in a room that at least had to have a couple Millenials in it, the Shrek association ALONE should have killed that line. And I didn't even GET that line the first time I played through. So the fact that it's random out of three or four things he could say makes it more aggravating. It's so stupid and it's so extra aggravating that people use it to portray Woods as a goofball idiot.

Another would be the tree-climbing scene in Black Ops 2. I hate how ONE SCENE has completely painted Mason as a bad dad. And no I don't think you should yell at your children. But there are so many factors in play there. I legit have had to stop myself from writing essays about it because I really could. It's one scene of a grieving father and son trying to get used to each other. Their relationship is tense because Alex was on the road a lot. Alex is trying to make sure that his kid is able to take care of himself (because people keep dying around him, HELLO). Oh my god here I go again. I'm not doing this 😂 So yeah I'd rather have it nixed than have to look at surface level takes about it. (tbh I'd rather have more father son scenes to balance it out but it's CoD and that's as about as domestic as it's gonna get).

Also Bell's legends line. Jesus Christ. That's not canon. If there's one thing in Black Ops that's not canon it's that stupid line. And the onion one. (As far as JWIN goes it's Bell teasing Frank because well... if you know anything about Chapter 7 well then you know)
