Just one thing. Can you please stop putting the trivia thing on explanations just because a comic references one other comic? If it's a recurring theme, then fine, but for ONE COMIC? Just write it at the bottom of each explanation, no need to use trivia. Thanks! Herobrine (talk) 04:09, 3 March 2018 (UTC)
