This is a great way to think about it. Why do we treat diseases and disorders in our brains differently than in the rest of our bodies?

if someone that was diabetic said they had decided to not take their medication, what would you say?

she doesn’t want to turn herself into a zombie with medication.

I think it’s simplistic to say that we should either love Rick or hate him, it’s more complex than that. [snip] And whilst he is an arsehole, he’s not the monster he often claims to be, this version of Rick we’re watching clearly cares about his family and is capable of altruistic moments, even though he’d rarely…

Extremely overlooked. I think that everyone is just so intimately familiar with the material at this point that “A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...” just seems like an affectation or trademark, rather than what it was, an explicit pronouncement that this is a variation on a fairy tale.

And, in a unique twist, blows up the castle instead of becoming king.

I think it all stems from a seemingly overlooked piece of information: Star Wars isn’t Sci Fi. Star Wars is Fantasy.

To be honest I remember him more as Towerblock in Bluestone 42 than Neville.

If you’re determined to make the droids the best characters of the standalone films, could you not kill ALL of them, thank you very much.

You are speaking for me. Continue. Every “tie it to the franchise” landed flat for me too.

But that’s kinda my point. The only thing Han “lost” by doing the right thing is a paycheck he was already okay to give up, and two people, one of whom he was already expecting to betray him.

If you showed Solo to someone that’s never seen or heard of a single piece of Star Wars media in their life (...somehow), they’d probably enjoy the film more than someone who does know the franchise intimately.

NOBEL PRIZE!!!!!

Also very nice that they got The Juggernaut to voice himself too!

Which sucks, because less than a year ago we had what I consider to be their best iteration.

CORRECT CHOICE, Splatfest! Donatello’s inventions were the sole reason the turtles didn’t get their asses handed to them 9 times out of 10 in the animated show. (We also wouldn’t have nearly as many shameless product tie-ins without Donnie, like the Retrocatapult.)

Huey Lewis trying so hard to be the next Rick Roll.

This reminds me of that old saying, “Give a man a fish, and eventually someone will try to figure out how to get it to say the n-word”.

“None of my business”, yet they’re all about painting “choose life” and “outlaw abortion” on the sides of their barns.
