For real, esp after you do an Ahsoka focused Clone Wars and then Rebels run. Those story and character beats just hit hard. 

Yeah, same here, plus i went into it ya know, knowing I was watching a show for young teens and kids. I wasn’t expecting a late Clone Wars type of show, which as it did, it turned into.

This part, like “wait this show for young teens is presented like a kids show? Terrible!” No, it’s a kids show, go into it expecting that, but in the end you’re rewarded with emotional depth, great storytelling, and some of the best Star Wars there is— esp in exploring the more abstract sides of the force. 

yeah, that Maul/Obi meeting is top tier Star Wars. 

I think the first two seasons are underrated, they’re uneven but they do a good job of establishing characters and relationships, that give the emotional weight to the last two seasons. Plus season two gave us “The Future of the Force” and most importantly, “Twilight of the Apprentice”

yes

MIT living wage calculator has a living wage at $16.25 with zero children, now start adding children. Minimum wage isn’t just for teens working a job, people need to sustain themselves, their family, and not work themselves to death doing it. That’s dignity. And labor organizers in KC, are demanding more themselves,

lmao, I did not say “AI workers,” I said “grunt workers,” putting these specific workers into a larger category of workers across society and types of jobs, labor, etc. They are part of the class holding up society. 

Where am I arguing for one job category or one company? Did I not say “everyone deserves a dignifying wage”? unless I’m misunderstanding the word “everyone.”

Where did I say “high wages?” 

Anything below at min $25 these days is disgraceful. Annual reminder for folks, unionize, workers rights, all that stuff. These CEO’s ain’t shit without us, and they all know it. 

a yes, because the workers doing the grunt work holding up society is so easy anyone could do it, so they don’t deserve a wage of dignity...even though this easy grunt work, that no one else is doing because they are so much more important than the grunts, is holding everything else up.

I tend to prefer more single player games, and Nintendo and Playstation tend to have a better selection of those in their exclusives. Plus, as a commenter already said here, cost for PC set-up, and all that to get quality performance for some of these games just ain’t for me. And it seems there’s a lot of folks like

Eternals? Yeah, when I saw it I said “ohhh, people will have a hard time with this at first, but it will age well and on rewatches.” Some of it to exactly how it worked for you. 

Yeah, coming at it with movie vs comic logic is it. What kills me is that phase 3, and early phase 4 started priming folks for more comic logic, I think it was easier for folks when it was on Disney+ over movies— but even then, could argue phase 1-3 were training audiences, I guess it didn’t take, but also to me that

It’s gotta be reading comics, and not being a chud, that’s the difference. A friend of mine, she doesn’t read comics, said there was lazy writing because Janet is too smart not to mention Kang is down there, and not to do it, etc. And I said “smart people do dumb things all the time, also, that’s basically the kicking

Yeah, I thought it was a really good movie. I think the critics would’ve have gave it higher scores if it wasn’t a marvel movie. As you pointed out, they go back and forth on what they want from marvel movies, but really I think it’s just fashionable now to do this to MCU movies— not saying there isn’t real criticism,

Beyond the comments here pointing out a lot of good points, such as Eternals being knocked for feeling too slow, artsy, and separate, not connected enough. etc...

This too— gave the OT grace in my head because of how they were made by the seat of their pants. But yeah, from it’s inception, SW has always been full of messy retcons and shifts. 

Yeah, it wasn’t some great piece of cinema, it meandered a bit, and was a bit inconsistent. But you know, that’s nothing new with SW. It was fun and entertaining, with some emotional depth to it, that’s the core of SW. Anything more is great, but as long as it hits those three marks, we’re good to go.
