fascism: a political philosophy, movement, or regime that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition

Was that Kylo Ren holding the“Blacks for Trump” sign?

Not just both...on many sides. Many sides.

The whole “real” representation thing is weak. As a Pilipino who’s still starving to see my ethnic identity (or even Asians in general) reflected 1) more often and 2) in a healthy variety of ways on screen (or hell, in comics and pretty much every other form of fiction), if they go with full on paint and prosthetics…

What they did give him in terms of comic based costume nods continues to bothers me. Namely that awkward tattoo. It looks really cheesy and too basic to feel “super” in any way. First, for whatever reason, it doesn’t look like ink in skin to me, which I imagine is hard to do. But the design, despite coming from the…

Yes. Yes it does. And, as I’m always looking for an excuse to share this, thank you.

The “I’ve been thinking...” part is what got you in and out of that conundrum.

Thanks for the thoughtful breakdown. Enjoyed “Defenders” quite a bit. Now if we can get a DD costume update just a little closer to the comics...

Re: Inhumans Posters

Except that goes against what TLG has explicitly said; they’ve even created an entire apparatus (Story Group) to make sure canon is canon, whether it’s in the films or not. They’ll make little mistakes, but in the main the novels, comics, animated shows, and films have remained consistent and inform each other to…

Likely this goes without saying, but TLG has been pretty clear that all LEGO related stories aren’t remotely canon. Just kid focused fun using the brand. Beyond Freemaker, there have been many other LEGO Star Wars stories (animated, books) before that played in the SW universe without any expectation that they were…

Marvel Television’s The Inhumans...throwing DCEU fans a bone.

Blame the “notoriously frugal” Ike Perlmutter, CEO of Marvel Entertainment. He’s the reason Kevin Feige reportedly threatened to walk away from his success at Marvel, only to have Disney pull Marvel Studios out of Marvel Entertainment and put Feige at its head. This put him on equal ground with a Perlmutter, and freed…

Yes, it’s HORRIBLE decision making, but it’s important to note that it’s not simply “Marvel” making it, as you put it, but instead Marvel Television. A quick but important primer.

Yeah, there’s been no real “definition” of the power of this whole Force radar business, or even how it actually works. For example, why did Vader not sense Yoda...or Ahsoka...etc. Likewise, why didn’t the entire Jedi Order not sense Sidious, or Maul, or Tyranus? Don’t think it’s as simple as “feeling” them just…

When he’s inside the locked facility futzing around with his AI. Likely the background of the poster was photoshopped in.

Or it was him saying, “What do you think of my latest great idea...don’t answer, because we all know it’s great.”

Nice. I love your brand of (not) optimism.

But does he wear that Prop as his helmet on those trips?

Disagree on the twist... I do think it was a clever adaptation of the comic version.
