Yeah, they took the one thing I think everyone hated from Last Jedi and seemingly turned it into the whole show. The world is full of jaded people who have given up on trying to do good, I don't need it in my entertainment.

Although to be fair I bet Tatooine's two suns are the worst case scenario for premature aging

Which doesn’t even make any sense! Macgregor was 34 in Revenge of the Sith, he’s 51 now. Technically he should be seven years YOUNGER than he is when Luke and Leia are 10.

*one's

Maybe I’m being overly generous, but to me Obi-Wan’s incompetence read pretty realistically. He’s spent ten years in a combination of severe depression, PTSD, and actively trying to suppress everything that makes him noticeable. There’s probably a disconnection from the Force to stay under the radar that’s putting him…

If there’s any inconsistency with Obi-Wan’s appearance, it’s just that people born in 1914 aged a lot worse than people born in 1971. Macgregor is 17 years older in Kenobi than he is in Revenge of the Sith. Strictly going by the canon timeline he’s already old enough to play Kenobi in the New Hope era, much less 9…

It’s a little different because the youngling slaughter isn’t a shock. Every casual Star Wars fan has known since 2005 that that’s what happens. Also, I think people in general are more callous about child deaths in war than random attacks in their own society. For sure it seems like people don’t give a crap about the…

That’s one theory. The other theory is that making 172 hours of television a year for 20 years is stressful and isolating from average life. Plus when you’re a cash cow, few people will call you on your descent into jerkdom until it’s too late. So even if the nice and kind was genuine in the beginning, unless you’re a…

De Santis signed into law that the Disney World special development district will be dissolved in 2023. I doubt either of us know enough about Disney's workings to argue about whether that counts as interfering "in a real way", but it's absolutely more than just posturing. 

Or even, kid tragically plays with gun and shoots someone. If you have every teacher in America a gun, I guarantee one of them would screw up keeping it secure and tragedies would follow.

I can’t explain Marvel Comics, but for the MCU at least, the squeamishness is built into the Disney corporate culture. And tbh understandably given their vulnerability to Christian ‘famkly-first’ groups, reliance on regressive foreign markets, and entrenched relationship with Florida. The last time Disney directly…

I wonder if her response is colored by America’s Sweethearts, which was another movie that by the numbers should have been amazing. Julia Roberts, Billy Crystal, John Cusack, Catherine Zeta-Jones, it's basically a supergroup of 1980s/1990s rom-coms. And yet, it utterly fails to replicate any of the magic of their…

But there's a widely recognized difference between cheap tricks and well-done art. Otherwise there'd be no difference between a car ad that makes you cry and the best dramas

Weird how the Asgardians have British accents but Olympians have to have verisimilitude? 

I think a huge amount of that is the writing and Kenneth Branagh’s direction. All his Shakespeare adaptations are painfully forced and stilted, and he applied the same approach in Thor. Hopefully Valkyrie and Jane are the main romantic couple so it won't even be an issue.

“born to do sketch comedy” from the bulk of his sketches, it’s more like he was born to be an unentertaining game show host

Maybe not the most efficient or the cleanest, but I have a better method. Cut away the peel. Slice thin cross-sections. Lay on plate. Dress with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Will convert the pickiest people that don't like fruit (me).

Why bring up health at all? Peterson didn’t say anything about it. If you were really concerned about health instead of parroting fatphobia, you probably wouldn't be taking the side of the fool who got himself stuck in a medical coma in Russia because he wasn’t consuming anything but beef, salt, water, and clonazepam.…

Apparently a diet of solely beef, salt, and clonezapam is not the secret to a healthy glow.

Jordan Peterson probably does have scurvy if he’s still keeping up that magic carnivore diet.
