    I still haven't gotten to watch it, because Disney+ has it out for me in particular, but I really wasn't a fan of the look of certain recent cameos.

    I do feel like I enjoyed the Mandalorian more than it deserved I bet if I watched it again it would not be uh unscathed

    Mando is good. It is acceptable to like Mando. Or not.

    I enjoyed Mandalorian but there were waaaayy too many scenes of the characters just tearing through Stormtroopers with no tension whatsoever.

    I found the hashtag going around about how great Cara Dune is as a character and to keep her by doing a recast hilarious as she's a pretty generic character.

    Just kill her off and cast a new cool badass sidekick. The only special thing about her is that Carano is on of the few buff femaleactors hollywood will willingly cast in stuff.

    The backstory about her being from Alderaan was good, but they never established why she felt the need to leave the active service of the New Republic. That story could have been interesting.

    They did explain that though.

    After the war was over there were a lot fewer missions that were about killing Imperials and more missions about escorting dignitaries and other non-combat applications. Cara Dune wasn't about that. She was in the Rebellion for vengeance and violence, not peacekeeping duties. So when it got boring she bounced and tried to make it as a merc.

    Escort missions suck in X-Wing so that’s fair.

    Just don’t fucking say dumb shit!?!?!? Like just don’t!!!! It’s literally all you have to do. I am amazed at people who just can’t seem to not shoot themselves out of cannons.

    i had this talk in a group chat with my friends but one of the most hilarious things about people having to face repercussions for their actions in the last five years is that not only has it shown us how shitty some people are, but also how fuckin stupid

    like, what she typed is obviously fucking horrendous and she's been a known bad person for years, but can you imagine typing out "being a republican is like being jewish during the holocaust," READING that post back to yourself, and going "hell yeah this slaps. this is a good idea. this won't backfire on me at all"

    how stupid do you have to be

    Oh no no no it's okay because you see what she was saying that being a republican is like being jewish BEFORE the holocaust. So you see, it's about to happen, but it hasn't happened yet, so that's okay right? So they can pre-feel persecuted for the things that haven't happened yet but totally are about to and you can't get mad at them because she wasn't comparing it to the actual holocaust.

    Right?

    I've enjoyed the folks that have been going into the tweets of people crying foul over the loss of Cara Dune "just for having an opinion!" back to when the character was first introduced and seeing how consistent they've been with their undeniable love for this strong, female character.


    HeyItsVadim is a person with a Twitter and Youtube account that posts political and pop culture things
    How it started: collage of screenshots on news sites/Twitter/YouTube from November/December 2019 with headlines like "Fans Furious over Cara Dune from The Mandalorian and Other Female Characters In Star [Wars]", "Imagine if halfway through Die Hard, john McClane met a buff snarky woman that beats him up, then starts doing everything cool for him. Wouldn't that be better? [sarcastic], "MANDALORIAN PROOF OF SJW LIES", "Episode 4: IS CARA DUNE A MARY SUE?!", "#CaraDune is a feminist agenda pushing Mary Sue: #caradunesucks #themandalorian #starwars, etc.
    How it's going: collage of screenshots on social media/YouTube from February 2021 with headlines like "CANCEL CULTURE WINS AGAIN", "LIARS HARASSING GINA AGAIN!", "CANCELLED BY THE LEFT (FOR HAVING AN OPINION)", "DENIED; THEY CAN'T GET RID OF GINA CARANO", etc.

    She's going to make a shitty right wing movie for a tiny right wing audience. I say good luck to her because she's going to need it. Her career is burned through no fault but her own.

    She's a pretty white lady, she'll slip into the right-wing welfare system just fine.

    Cara Dune could have been a cool character. But the time has passed and she needs to just never be mentioned again. Let's get a new cool character.

    how stupid do you have to be

    It's something where I can at least understand when someone says something in an off the cuff interview, or like when they've been in 20 press junkets and they say something they regret, either because they truly didn't mean it like that or because they just know it's bad for their brand even if they mean it.

    But your social media feed is like, you just write shit out and voluntarily put it out there. All you have to do is not write shit that will get you in trouble. That's all! It seems like such an active act of self destruction, it's crazy.

    Especially when Chris Pratt is right there showing how far you can get by being politically ambiguous. I'm pretty sure he has some shitty opinions, but we don't know about it for sure and for that he gets to keep skating on by.

    Pretty sure if/when the runway on his relevance runs out that shit will come out if it is indeed there as a last gasp. The next generations will need their Tim Allens, Randy Quaids, and James Woods.

    I honestly don't even think criss pratt is that ambiguous about it anymore now that his brother has been outed as a three percenter

    "Ambiguous" here means doesn't put his shit on Twitter.

    That's literally all they have to do to skate under the radar. That's all Carano had to do but she was too stupid to just, not put it on twitter.

    The whole "Gina Carano was fired because she's a conservative" argument is such an amazing bit of telling on yourself, because they aren't letting her go because she's for limited government or lower taxes. Basically just an admission that hate is the core component of conservatism (not like we all didn't know that already).

    It is telling on one's self but it should be noted that this is in no way a mistake on their part. This is the way they are moving the overtone window. Gina and people like her keep posting basically Nazi shit and acting like it's normal conservativism and push everyone on the right to support them as they go more and more down the rabbithole. The problem here is is that soon Gina's ideas may just be regular conservativism.

    Seems like Pascal is rarely the one wearing the armor, so I'd be surprised if one show interfered with the other.

    As the tweet goes:

    Conservative: I have been censored for my
    conservative views

    Me: Holy shit! You were censored for wanting
    lower taxes?

    My problem with the high republic is that I have no context for what any of the vehicles look like. They can describe them as much as they want but previous Star Wars stuff has had oodles of visual depictions and I can’t imagine these new things from text alone.

    There's going to be comics as well, so there will be depictions of stuff given enough time.

    There was just so much tension in the first 1/3rd of the book. It made me want to know what was going to happen and it just came at you so fast. Then the first chapter after that you're just reading about a mountain on coruscant. Like wtf?! I don't need coruscant described to me. I've seen the movies, I've played the games, it's a planet encompassing city. It was a planet encompassing city in the old republic as well.
    Then the bad guys are cliche as fuck. Enigmatic apathetic leader who knows things, quiet edgy girl who is secretly the most dangerous, no brains mcmurderhobo. And they're all just necromongers.

    I haven't finished it yet, but I started pushing through another malazan book and started the first dresden files book because it sounded more interesting.
