It could also be an interesting way to change up the character from time to time. One of the alumni challenges him and wins, and is now The Batman, and the story switches over to them. Meanwhile, the now ex-Batman fades into the wings for a bit or becomes a minor character, possibly eventually returning in a bid to…

Yeah, it had some problems early on (the terrible “welcome to the Nexus” cutscenes in the first few hours really wrecked the game’s reputation), but once I got into it I didn’t want the game to end! After 120 hours I finally ran out of sidequests and went ahead and finished the main questline. The game had a lot of…

“Nowadays, sadly, money trumps patriotism,” Baia said. “Especially, recently, I personally feel like we’re not really very patriotic, the country, in a certain sense.”

Not that I’m a huge fan of the movie, but this is an amusing case of the script being too smart for the audience. “Unobtanium” is engineering jargon for a hypothetical material with impossible properties. Knowing that, it’s pretty plausible that some in universe scientist, upon discovering some material with crazy…

And? Why should such instruction be necessary? It almost goes without saying that blowing people up is bad, and no way to deal with your problems, but I’m sure teachers can figure out that point on their own. Why should “radical islam” need to be singled out on that front? Why would the instructions need to make a…

Yeah, I enjoyed the hell out of it.

Yeah, it seems like the old racists keep raising new generations of racists to carry on. Plus, people are inherently contrarian. As we’ve seen, if you try to make the status quo “equality for all”, you have no shortage of people willing to “stick it to the man” against the “oppression” of “political correctness” and…

“He said he regrets using the image, calling it an oversight, and said in the future he’d do ‘a little more research’ on the history behind some of Blue Lives Matter’s more popular icons.”

Yeah, Its quite likely you’re using a more sharply defined meaning I’m not familiar with. I’m going by the common definition of “moral principles that govern a person’s behavior or the conducting of an activity,” which I’m hypothesizing grows from an instinctive sense of “how can I tell I’ve been screwed over/how much…

Well, like I said, I think ethics originate in an instinctive sense of fairness. Experiments have shown that even chimpanzees share a rudimentary sense of what constitutes a fair deal (http://www.livescience.com/26245-chimps-value-fairness.html). I think the complexity and differences arise when attempting to codify…

I’d say ethics is instinctive too, based in a sense of fairness. Its geared toward making sure the people you interact with found you trustworthy rather than feeling cheated, which can come back to bite you in the ass later.

Yeah, that was my response as well. It was like a breath of fresh air to see a president who could admit to the existence of facts and evidence that contradicted his opinion, and publicly admit that it meant he must be wrong.

If I remember, some character backstories still wandered into the prequel area (I imagine it would be tough as a writer to be restricted to character histories less than 18 years long) and some of them got contradicted by the prequels. Regardless, it was always pretty clear that while Lucas was happy enough to take…

Yeah, right from the start they made it clear that Lucas was going to completely ignore the EU material, and if what he was working on intersected it, it was going to get stomped. It was always semi-canon at best (Lucas did wind up cameo-ing a couple characters in the prequels, for instance). As far as I’m concerned,…

10 out of 10 would watch

Well, since he’s not around to ask, we’ll never know, but that kinda sounds like the thing you say when you realy do want to do that, but you know a bunch of folks will freak out if you say so. Its kind of the inverse of “I don’t hate black people, but...”

How would you even enforce that?

Well, I figured the signal was subspace, yeah, but he has to receive it, and maybe he’s already on the ship at the time, and maaaybe he’s even already in space, but he’s still got to set a course, and there’s some travel time, even with hyperspace (hours to days, depending on distance), and then arrive in-system, and…

Or hell, just gotten a shocked and then disappointed face just before it happened, rather than after. Like he knew what would happen, but just hadn’t wanted to believe it.

“The plan was always that Leia was going to go to Tatooine to pick up Obi-Wan and Raddus was going to escort her,” Hidalgo said. “Then the news of Scarif came in, and that was deemed more important ... [because] it’s the one warship that they have at this point.”
