The finger thing means money

I think it’s light canon, in that the overall events took place, but maybe the pop culture references didn’t happen, and Rey didn’t actually go on a literal time travel adventure but rather explored the past through visions after failing to properly train Finn and splitting up from the group that, sure, was gathered…

Or or or... hear me out now...

I think he probably meant that jokingly, like maybe now they could retcon that in due to their association with Biehn in this episode. That being said, I kinda always thought it WAS a subtle nod to Terminator, even before this episode, given their personalities and the fact that the Terminator franchise shortens…

Maybe Togrutas go through a shedding process? 

I noticed that, too, but then again, I regularly start walking away from my car before locking it up with the remote but then also unlock it from a distance. I take it as we simply didn’t see the remote trigger for the ramp to be opened and closed. Real world reason: it’s cheaper to make a ramp and not address…

That was just his character. In real life he preferred his martinis deconstructed into quickly consumed sequential shots with a cocktail onion juice chaser.

I don’t like it, honestly. Jordan is a fantastic actor, and I’d have loved it if Killmonger HADN’T died and could then be rehabilitated or something, but I’m not a fan of reviving dead characters in this version of the Marvel universe, particularly given how impactful Tony’s death was. But I’d accept it, I guess. But…

Definitely agree with you on recasting T’Challa. It’s a character that still can be developed within the universe, and I think people are too hung up on honoring Boseman’s untimely passing in such a big way. I love the idea of Shuri taking over second best, but I have no issues accepting someone else in the role of…

I don’t think you and I are disagreeing, just coming from different sides of the issue. I totally hear you on the appreciation front, and I guess my anecdotes didn’t clarify as much as I had hoped.

I kind of get her frustration, though. I grew up with a combination of white and Asian cultures (Japanese adoptive grandmother and half-Korean mother) within a family that loves food and cooking, and I was totally that kid who was considered weird in the 90s for having Japanese curry, furikake and rice, sushi, kimchi,…

Ah, so the “A” now stands for “Appropriation." Got it.

Between this and being replaced on Rogue One, Desplat doesn't really have great luck with Disney, it seems.

I love “Scream 4,” if only because it’s a fun commentary on the state of horror at the time of its release, what with remakes and reboots and torture porn. Much better than 3.

It was before an Ice Age movie before Fox being owned by Disney was nothing more than a Simpsons joke itself, so it's not like The Simpsons is only now being corporately synergistic.

The experimental Pixar Spark Shorts and Forky Asks a Question shorts on Disney+ might be what you're looking for. Then again, that's basically them moving the shorts from the films to promote their service, but they're not bad considering the shorts have always been a means of experimenting. One of the shorts even had…

I don’t think there would be a boycott until it got closer to release or after release.

It’s totally possible the show is actually pushing the envelope when it comes to acceptable content, but at the same time, it’s kinda mildly shocking what stayed on The Simpsons while still being on Disney+. The movie itself has full frontal, underage nudity - not in a sexual context, but most definitely drawing…

There are some great food and cooking channels on YouTube, though. And I can’t help but find emmymadeinjapan to be a complete delight. You just gotta sift through all the shit.
