Technically, he’s only a capitalist if he owns capital and profits from it.

The weirdest thing in this movie is Desi Arnaz claiming that the communists took his family’s land, imprisoned his father, drove his family out of the country... in a movie set in 1952, 7 years before the Cuban Revolution.

Arnaz’s family was fleeing the 1933 Sergeants’ Revolt, not communists.

She’s also homophobic and transphobic, but that tends to get glossed over for the antivax stuff. She had followed some “pray away the gay” accounts on Twitter and liked some eyebrow raising tweets. She was never as public about that though, and the receipts are kind of gone since she nuked her Twitter.

That’s what I think “remake” means in this sense, as opposed to remaster. It sounds like this is going to be more in line with Final Fantasy VII Remake or Resident Evil 2 than the Shadow of the Colossus remake (although that game is also excellent).

Bad Batch is largely built off prequel-era worldbuilding, I would argue.

What I’ve always said is that they might never reach Empire, but they consistently turn out Jedi. 

They’re addressing the study thing too actually! A new regulation for schools bans exams in grades 1 and 2, allows for final exams only until grade 6, and midterms and final exams thereafter. It also says that tests cannot be given weekly. There are also new strict regulations for private tutors, and regulations on…

She put on an “apology” after doubling down and yelling about being cancelled. And her only apology was basically saying “It wasn’t my intention to offend anyone, I was just raising questions about what’s in vaccines.”

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…
