Hearing them use the term “magical realism” to describe the show is a bit strange too. I guess it’s technically true, in that it features fantastic elements running up against bureaucracy, but characterizing superhero stories in general as that genre feels wrong. There certainly isn’t magical realism in stories like…

It kind of seems like Hasan might be an actual crazy person running a one-man studio while claiming to have a large dev team.

I was going to bring up that BioShock 2 had done a similar “both sides” thing, BioShock Infinite just crammed them into one game. BioShock 1 is a game where you get to see someone that tries to pull an Atlas Shrugged and build a hidden libertarian city for capitalists, and you get to watch all the Randian shit…

Also, if Jordan only has limited latent powers, and doesn’t have full control of them, then that totally puts Jonathan also having powers back on the table. He should have immediately brought Jonathan to the Fortress for a test after that.

Star Wars: Visionaries was an art-driven anthology comic series in 2005, where different artists - not typical comic artists, but concept artists and the like -got their chance to interpret Star Wars in stand-alone short stories. It has absolutely gorgeous artwork.

Star Wars: Visions definitely feels like a spiritual…

This is the same progression that Filoni’s animated shows had. Some of the season 1 filler episodes felt very much like episodes in the other shows that feel stand-alone but set up characters to recur down the line.

In her likes, she’s also been regularly liking tweets from the author of “Gay Girl, Good God”, an evangelical who claims she was a lesbian but God made her straight.

Based on her Twitter history, she probably does and agrees with it.

The premiere was already a smash-hit success, and the show was consistently trending as the most anticipated show of the season, and Baby Yoda wasn’t advertised. So it’d probably still be pretty successful.

Shuri *would* be the way to go, if Letitia Wright weren’t on Twitter liking “pray away the gay” tweets.

It’s probably both. It’s set-up/foreshadowing for the sequels, and the early stages of that program (although I think Palpatine is probably *already* resurrected, they’re just trying to get bodies that can better withstand his Force abilities), but is also going to lead somewhere that lets them fight a threat and…

They also play something that sounds remarkably like Snoke’s theme when the team is looking at the clone bodies in vats. Between that and the New Republic pilot talking about how the core worlds aren’t taking the threat of the Imperial remnant in the Outer Rim seriously, it feels like we’re seeing the very beginnings…

Unfortunately, Letitia Wright has been on Twitter recently liking tweets from a “reformed” former lesbian turned straight fundamentalist, as well as anti-vaxxer/Covid denialist tweets. Other than one random tweet about “this antichrist agenda” she hasn’t made any overt tweets about it, but she seems like a wild card…

electric cyonide? It was pretty clearly just a tech-y take on the poison pill

My parents love The Wire, Treme, Rome, Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul, Game of Thrones, and The Mandalorian. My mom reluctantly watched some of the first season of Deadwood - and seemd to really enjoy it while watching it - but apparently doesn’t want to watch anymore because she “doesn’t like westerns”. So that’s one…

Siege of Mandalore relies so heavily on continuity from the prior seasons, though, that it’d be confusing nonsense to new watchers - at the very least, a lot of the emotional beats wouldn’t land as well. I think you just have to get over your attitudes about cartoons.

She’s a full 9 years older than Boba!

He was - he was working for Rosario’s mother to serve as a handyman and to help renovate Rosario’s house, and in return they had put him up in an apartment nearby. He The Dawsons were his landlords as well as employers. They were trying to evict him at the time, as he was no longer working for them. It’s unclear if he…

Tommy Jarvis being in this movie would be an amazing crossover twist though. Not even Jason, just another dude like Laurie (and Tommy Doyle) that’s dealt with this stuff before.

I mean, his other pitch was “get a celebrity to consent to having their cell phone monitored for 24 hours, and then they walk us through what they find” which also sounds like you’re begging for a pass.
