I never read his granddaughter as ultra nationalist. She seemed as much Mando as any other Mando. She seemed mostly pissed off about A) Boba not doing right by his daughter/her mom and B) how big a disappointment Boba was to her.

I wonder if Filoni has any interest in adapting the plot from the Traviss books about searching for a cure for the accelerated aging. I doubt it since Rebels showed a clearly accelerated-aged Rex. But I really liked that plot. And how once it was found it was quietly distributed to all the clones they could get it to.…

By not using the extremely well-trained clones, they’re setting up how Stormtroopers can be so varied in effectiveness.

Now they’ll have various academies in different places producing differing qualities of soldiers - and when you prize blind loyalty over all other attributes - well, then other things are going to…

I haven’t been paying much attention, but is Paul Rudd involved? He should be.

Because Sanders wants to and would take money from the rich - even and including the rich who donate to the Democrats.

It’s all about the money. You can faff on and on about all the civil rights causes and equality and supporting people, but the second you say you’ll find the money to do it by increasing taxes on the…

I still really really hate the inhibitor chip thing. I get why they did it, but I still hate it. I preferred the moral conundrum of obeying orders and training vs. the relationships with various Jedi.

Tom Kane suffered a stroke at the end of last year. He may have to retire from voice acting as a result. That’s the last I have heard about it. I was happy to hear him on the premiere, but I don’t know when it was recorded.

I would not be surprised to see him work that into his set.

That’s Gary, the unspeakable train abomination, to you!

It’s fantasy. And the world has existed in a medieval stasis for a long long time. Just wind stuff back to early middle age levels - before plate armor and crossbows. Prior to the construction of real castles (except magic ones I guess)

This is a prequel I don’t need. The basic story beats are already laid down. The end of most of these characters is already known.

Nothing in Avatar has had the staying power of Idris Elba bellowing: “Today we are cancelling the apocalypse!”

He put on the mask in the shipping container scene in episode 3.

How I Met Your Mother is also like this for me.

Loki is way more interesting and fun as an anti-hero/villain.

The Kid Loki stuff was tremendous. It stumbled in Young Avengers during the transition into young adult Loki, and then absolutely soared in Agent of Asgard.

The whiplash going from reading the I09 review to this is something else. It’s like you aren’t watching the same show.

And Last Samurai.....

Ugh, Avatar.

Damn do I love 40k.

For a second I thought this article was about Emma Stone, but then I realized the character wasn’t Asian.

I was reading about the movie the other day, but they had arcs written. But they didn’t make it to the screen.
