One of the many problems with the world today is that many people would rather be “right” than happy.

I’ve said before that I’m just astonished with how much I love this series, which I would have never expected when first seeing the Andor name up on Lucasfilm’s Big, Big Wall-O-Projects planned out for the next 34 years.

I was completely against this show when it was announced. I even said “who asked for this show?!” to express my distaste.

I totally agree, but you’ve gotta admit that it’s incredibly on brand for Star Wars to save it’s most complex and nuanced storytelling for what is functionally like those Wedge Antilles X-Wing novels.

Man, I’ve been reading that the views on this show are terrible and that’s really, really depressing. I think this is the best written Star Wars anything. That scene with Syril and his toxic mother was so well written and so well acted you could have set it in a NYC apartment and it would have still worked. I hope…

Someone at WB must be bald from tearing there hair out.

That was my first thought reading the article. I thought Beck was way bigger than Arcade Fire, but maybe that is just my bias because I never got what the big deal was with Arcade Fire.

Because if you can make more money opening for a band with a bigger fan base than headlining a tour why not? Probably less headaches too.

Probably at that point in his career where he’s thinking that being the opening act means he has less to throw together in terms of a stage show, compared to the expectations of a headliner.

Why was Beck even opening for Arcade Fire in the first place?  He has had a successful music career since the 90s he’s no loser.

It’s been reported that Jen is gonna be in the two Avengers movies, at the very least.

Anyone who has spent six months in corporate land has seen one of these speeches. 

Jennifer said in the first episode that it wouldn’t be a typical Marvel show. She outright edited her own show to prevent it from turning into the usual bloated ending mess. Honestly it’s great that she was able to use the fourth wall to retcon a season-wide plot.

True. She realized this was her show and just shut down that plotline.

I was out on the 4th-wall smashing of the climax until we got to K.E.V.I.N. I don’t know why I enjoyed that bit as much as I did (a reveal that Feige suffered some calamity and had his consciousness uploaded to a computer, kind of like Arnim Zola in Winter Soldier, would have been even more fun), but I did.

I admire Jessica Gao’s restraint in not titling this episode “KEVIN Can F**k Himself.” 

You said exactly what I have in mind. People have been taking Marvel WAY too seriously now, it’s gotten very toxic.

Yes, I was glad to see them go so hard on the fourth-wall breaking, like the Byrne run of the comics did (but adapted for TV/streaming in a way that I thought worked well).

Were you not aware that the intro for this episode was a virtual shot-for-shot remake of the intro for the Bill Bixby/Lou Ferrigno Incredible Hulk TV series? Because you completely failed to mention it. So I'll just curse you for being a millennial now. Goddamn millennials.

The show pretty perfectly captured the She-Hulk comics IMO - this is the exact sort of thing you can imagine happening there.
