Also, “the 80's are almost over and I haven’t tried coke yet!” is a completely unrealistic line/joke. This only makes sense as a joke in hindsight — no person in the 80 would actually talk like that (or would even know to utter the line)!

Workers at Elon’s companies should always have a polished resume. This is no doubt a rude awakening for Twitter employees, but a reality of Musk’s leadership.

10-15 years ago, places like Lifehacker/Gizmodo were building up Musk/SpaceX/Tesla as a visionary. Now that he’s richer, “overexposed,” and in the popular mind, its time to tear him down.

Honestly, I already loved her for putting up with the writing. She was the best part of the show, but not much else captured my imagination in a positive way.

My wife doesn’t have high standards for TV (she loves when the Hallmark channel shows Christmas shows), and even she has been kind of “meh” on She-Hulk.

Finally. I have been wondering since 2008. I had my doubts.

What does Cap like to put his **** in? Who has he put it in? When did he put it in? I have to know!

Right, and in my mind, I choose to believe that Captain America would make the decision to wait.

Sexual choices are none of anyone’s business.

I choose to take Cap literally and believe he was waiting until marriage due to deeply held beliefs. After all, he did come from a time a time before the pill and Roe v. Wade, and would naturally be chivalrous.

It was so overstuffed with jokes that didn’t quite land. I am glad Jane’s presence was complementary to Thor’s and wasn’t there just to undermine him (that’s good writing), but the humor at Thor’s expense did plenty of that.

Sexuality is so complicated. You can tell that they don’t know exactly how to handle it, and audiences seem to either demand 1) whatever it is its handled like no big deal or 2) much is made of it as part of the character’s identity.

The narrative reason for season 1 was flimsy enough.

That is a retcon.

This was the biggest problem with the show. If they were going to tell an Obi-Wan interquel that involves Vader, the way I see it they have to do a few things:

Vader seems a bit too intense. In a new hope he was a bit calmer (maybe the years mellowed him out)

I love the original Trilogy because it is what I grew up with. I also have fondness for Shadows of the Empire. Everything else is mostly disappointing or feels fun, if silly and unnecessary. If other people like it, great, but I am finally accepting that, for me, Star Wars is the original trilogy.

It would really tie things together. Sort of like the hilarious Auralnauts Star Wars Reimagined series where they shoehorn all the retcons in.

I was wondering the same thing the other day, and I didn’t even see the thread.

Yes, TPM seems inconsequential. The Jedi order never really struck a chord with me either — the whole padawan learner thing. It always seemed like that was rooted in a line from Yoda saying Luke was too old to complete the training, and it made the Jedi seem kind of... unremarkable... when you have so many of them…
