The boys(butcher and co) really gotta expose Homelander as the monster he truly is before they kill him I mean, otherwise he’ll just end up going by down as a martyr.


Final poster for ‘THE BOYS’.




A lot of people claim that the Star Wars prequels changed the Force from being something anyone could use into some sort of hereditary biological thing due to the mention of midichlorians. However, almost the exact opposite is true. It was the original trilogy, in Return of the Jedi, that made the Force a family trait as explained by both Yoda before he died and then Luke to Leia on Endor. By creating the prophecy of the Chosen One, Lucas actually painted himself OUT of that corner, and implied that the only reason that the Force was strong in that *one single* family was because Anakin himself was conceived by the Force. But everyone else? It doesn't matter who your parents are. That's why the Jedi must use some other measure to determine whether someone can be trained, and since George wanted Jedi to start being trained shortly after birth, the addition of midichlorians allowed him to provide the Jedi with an objective scientific method for determining someone's potential very early on. This does raise the question as to whether that was the *right* method to measure Force potential, since there are several times in the Saga where we see that people who overly rely on technology are actually in error or even straight up bad guys. Maybe a thousand years ago the Jedi would meditate and get visions of who was to be trained, but as their ability to use the Force became diminished over generations (as mentioned by Mace Windu in that one conversation he had with Yoda), perhaps the midichlorian counter became their go-to. And then as they became more dependent on that their Force sensitivity atrophied even further. Fun stuff to ponder. And then of course all of that just further highlights the stupidity of Disney's sequel trilogy, because TROS reveals that Rey is strong in the Force because she's a Palpatine and not someone randomly selected by the Force nor a descendant of the Chosen One. According to Disney, any offspring of any powerful Force user (even a Sith!) will be strong in the Force which begs the question as to why Palpatine would have sought apprentices like Maul or Dooku or Vader in the first place if he could have just sired an army of loyal Sith warriors on his own. But I digress since that's all bad fan-fiction anway. My main point is that the Chosen One prophecy provided nice context as to why the Skywalker family was unique in having hereditary Force potential, while still allowing any number of other people to become Jedi as originally indicated by ANH and ESB.




Episode you've seen more than ten times, but you'd watch it again without getting bored



Which Star Wars prequel plot hole ruined the galaxy the most? 👥 The Jedi Council trusting a Clone Army ordered by Sifo-Dyas 🚩Obi-Wan training Anakin despite Yoda's warnings 💀Jar Jar Binks proposing emergency powers for Palpatine 💔 Padmé dying from a "broken heart"




While I'm at it: Why do "the Jedi" often get the blame for separating Anakin from his mom while Qui-Gon Jinm has a reputation of being like an enlightened Jedi who's better than the complacent council. He did that. He took Anakin. The council didn’t want him to.

What are your thoughts about Qui-Gon Jinn?
