Every other rocket in this weight class uses some form of flame diverter or deluge system or both.

It’s less than half of the fan base that hates on The Last Jedi, they’re just very vocal and terminally online.

WotC/Hasbro were almost certainly not the ones who leaked the document. Either it was partners they sent the doc to, or individual employees that disagreed with it, but the leak was not corporate intent.

It has a lot of really great moments. They’re just in service to a kind of mediocre main plot, which is all anyone remembers.

Frigga’s funeral is hauntingly gorgeous, and the effect is has on the rest of the family is played extremely well, and it was great for the strength of that scene and Rene Russo’s performance…

If Obi-Wan hadn’t been there I assume they’d have done it right after getting Luke out of sight of it. Her returning him unharmed was just surprising enough for them to let him figure out what the hell Jedi nonsense it was.

We do see that the farm was pretty comprehensively wrecked when the stormtroopers left. It could’ve gotten that way because they attacked with overwhelming force immediately, or because Owen and Beru put up plenty of fight and said stormtroopers had to burn it to the ground to get to them.

The latter would also explain…

Eh, big things have only ever had an impact when the movie was successful. Avengers got to echo, but a similarly huge alien invasion in The Dark World did not.

It definitely feels like they’re setting it up to steal a Wanda from another multiverse.  Probably whichever one is part of the Incursion that Clea comes to stop in the stinger.

Wayforward borrowed the “squadmate permadead” mechanic from their earlier Aliens metroidvania, Aliens: Infestation.

Hadn’t realized it before, but I definitely agree. It also combines to make the “V’ger disintegrating things” scenes far more sinister and horrifying than they really need to be.  It's a bizarrely gruesome and horrifying scene for an "optimistic" movie.

I wouldn't be certain she's never seen one before in her life.  She's a meganerd, so holonovels of ancient history are kinda par for the course.

House and Vigilante don't sound particularly "YEE HAW TEXAN" to me.

Hope and improvement is, in fact, at the core of the season-long arc.  It’s just not the strongest at the beginning, because it’s a season-long arc.

Cryo failures can still kill androids. They don’t seem to require cryo, but if they’re in it and the pod fails it does seem to kill them.

It had an ‘r’ but then a Kender walked by.

It felt like Jessica Jones S2 suffered the most from that mid-season lethargy all the Netflix Marvel shows had. They just kinda padded things out to fill the episode count, and the IGH plot sorta fizzled by not being as wide-ranging a conspiracy as they played it to be.

From the video, it was the owner of a game store in Australia that was a fan of the channel, to use as part of a diorama, and support the channel.

Likely both.  Worst case scenario nobody bites.  Best case scenario, this exact thing happens and gun nuts piss cash on them.

The vast majority of anything “gun rights activists” do is just for profit.  Courting controversy is an extremely lucrative enterprise for them.

There’s tons of videos that misrepresent what he said in an interview, sure.  If you actually bother to watch the whole thing, the *very next line* they always cut out is “but then I watched it and Rian was right”.
