I don’t have issue with knocking it before the shows come out. It’s 10! 10 shows about one “universe”, with the majority announced existing on the peripheral, stories about side characters side characters, all to make sure nothing happens that could jeopardize potential future stories for movies.

Remember like 2 years ago when they were trying to make a movie a year, and Solo bombed, and then Rise of the Sky Walker came out and made 300M less than Last Jedi and Disney was all “maybe we should pull back on this, fans are growing tired”.

Yeah...I’ll just wait for Spider-Verse 2.

I liked this one, too bad. Great cast.

YOu may say he’s not the star, but the first movie, it was very much like that. He and Ridley traveling together, fighting together, etc. He was in the action. In the second movie, which is my favorite of the 3, he was sent on side missions. He still had a big part, but no longer was he in any way integral to anything…

I think what happened was he thought the series was making him Ridley’s love interest, and he maybe blames Johnson for ending that and pushing the Rey/Ren story. So while Johnson did give his character an arc and something to do in the movie taking a lot of the running time, it was a “side” thing, not a “star” thing.

Right, and he had that ending scene where he was going to sacrifice himself and it was a big moment. Each of the characters he mentions had a major moment in TLJ. I can’t remember anything he did in ROS, and I only watched it a month ago. 

He really lets his personal like of Abrams change his comments. JJ is the one who shunted Tran off to the side in the last movie. For better or worse, he and Tran had an actual arc in movie 2. In movie 3, i barely knew they were in it. But he likes Abrams, so he puts it all on Disney.

1. Mario World 2: Yoshi’s Island

Agreed. I barely knew about this show, and didn’t even hear about  “Bless this mess” until it was recently cancelled, and “New Girl” was one of my favorite comedies ever (rewatching now with my girlfriend, still holds up!). 

The Portuguese also devour these as a bar snack, or just a regular at home snack when you have guests over. I’m always surprised when something I grew up with is revealed to be this hidden thing others don’t know about lol

“most interesting season since season 2"...meaning better than season 3? Lol, convoluted way to say it!

Right, or like one of the Danny McBride HBO shows that are all about awful people. If you are going to make them awful, lean into it more. But “i’m selfish and I abandoned my children and you have to sympathize with me anyway” doesn’t work when her biggest problem is....boredom?

I was excited...but checked out after episode 2. There is just something about overly selfish people in this way that bothers me. “I abandoned my kids...but please root for me and this random dude”. When it’s the central premise of a character, I just can’t get on their side, or care to watch it even rooting against…

Remember when Babe Ruth left the Yankees to play Baseball Part 2?

“everything will be Alright in the End” was actually really good. I’d rank it 3rd, after Blue and Pinkerton. Before Maladroit. The rest...are much harder to rank (in that I barely want to even attempt it...)

Yeah, my least favorite part of the game. “Oh great, a rare drop...of the boots I have 20 different copies of already”. Half the game is spent in the inventory screens. Were it not such a fun game, this would be a deal breaker.

Is “Hollow Knight” a post apocalyptic world? That’s what I’ve been playing this week, finally getting around to my backlog (of course i added to it right away by buying Nioh 2...)

Why does South Carolina have a bearing on what happened in Massachusetts or Minnesota? You are using some black southern states to delegitimize all other states. Weird thing to do...

Polls show Warren votes splitting nearly 50/50 to Biden and Sanders. You can’t just “give” them to Sanders. Bloomberg also got more votes than Warren in a number of those states, and if we are playing that game, those definitely do go to Biden near 100%.
