UH locks in the difficulty

Clearly? What is your basis for that. I put a link in my comment. You should read it and try learning a thing today. The evidence that transphobia is a winning issue is basically non-existent, and it is long past time for supposed liberals to stop giving into this bullshit, because it only fuels conservative efforts…

“Targeting abortion is a losing issue, but targeting trans people—a small subsection of the American population—has apparently been deemed a winning conservative issue.”

What? Can’t you turn on accessibility options? Or does Ultra Hard disable all those?

I’m just not taking the time to watch multiple kids shows

Well, yes and no. I’d argue that the show was leaning very much into the Tatooine/Mos Eisley business from the first movie. Favreau basically admitted as such. So it wasn’t as much a “different” feel (to me) as it was, “Let’s lean into this one element of SW and blow it up.”

I like how they made Rogue One, a prequel to the original trilogy (but separate from the Prequel Trilogy), and now Andor is a prequel to Rogue One. The fictional universe is always collapsing in on itself. It’s sort of like using AI to replicate Mark Hammill and James Earl Jones (plus that CGI Peter Cushing), so they n…

“All of which were a result of WW2.”

What? The combat was improved in almost every single way in Forbidden West. ESPECIALLY the close combat which is useful and fun now.

This is great and makes total sense, especially with what FW showed the relationship Elisabet had in the old world. The only sticking point is that the romantic interest is essentially “Aloy but from a different tribe”, falling into the clone-marriage trope that straight writers loved to write gay characters as in the…

I think it’s more that people want Star wars content to break new ground, rather than revisit the same 50-ish years of the fictional universe across 11 movies and 6 shows.

The problem is, it’s becoming all Clone Wars now. 

Yeah, maybe you should play more than a quarter of it before making these conclusions.

I still think asexual but homo-romantic. Like she does have romantic feelings and attraction just not sexual interest.

Intended or not, I read the headline in this voice.

By 1975, the most influential event globally was Vietnam. McCarthyism, the Red Scare, the Bay of Pigs and Cuban Missile Crisis had already pushed World War II into museums and history books. Even the heroes of WWII had faded to societal irrelevance by that time (hell, the advent of the Jet Age had made the flying aces…

So you’re telling me Bashar al-Assad (to pick a modern day bad dude) is not Hitler’s long-lost grandson?

Well, to extend your metaphor, what if, today, in 2023, every single important thing that happened had to be viewed through the lens of World War II? And then, too, every historical story had to lead into World War II? That’s what Star Wars and other franchises like Harry Potter have done. Why? Because Hollywood…

Are you not familiar with how shitty of a person she really is?

Funny how a few episodes ago the Mandalorians didn’t have enough jetpack fuel to chase down a pterodactyl but now they’re able to jetpack all the way into space
