@BasedPota18 to be fair the reveal itself doesn’t really change the story all that much

So, why did Netflix One Piece reveal Luffy being Garp’s grandson so early? Tbh I think revealing stuff that was supposed to be surprised later on right away is lame

They leaked the flight 37 video already and people still had extreme faith in him and they just wrote it off as AI imagery They’d do the same for almost anything The Boys throw out By that point he just has to expose himself, once he starts lasering crowds of people that’ll do the trick probably

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.

One thing I’ve always liked with Qui-Gon in TPM, he’s like an older version of Luke from ROTJ Qui-Gon was one to see value in things other people wouldn’t give a second thought like Anakin, and who even Obi-wan and Yoda were skeptical Who puts all his faith into trusting these things will help him Just like Luke’s ultimate faith in there being good in Anakin, in defiance of what Yoda and Obi-wan thought

It’s funny how this and the Jedi robe bullshit are things people blame the prequels for but were firmly established by ROTJ And “it takes away Luke’s Everyman status!” As if the first movie didn’t reveal that he was the son of one of the most powerful Jedi He was NEVER just an Everyman

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.

So, something I thought about, Giancarlo Esposito being cast as Stan Edgar was pretty obviously influenced hy Gus Fring, and Edgar is based on James Stillwell Fring and Stillwell on the surface are very similar, both are men who conduct all of what they do in an all business way like they’re not even human But the key difference, Gus still has remnants of his humanity as evidenced by his grudge with Hector, where it stops being “all business” and is very personal which causes his downfall While Stillwell, has none of that humanity, all he lives for is the corporation which also causes his downfall mentally, since once he realized he was saddled with bad product he literally goes crazy

Also regarding Anakin’s training and the Jedi not wanting him, The Jedi were basically forced to take him in now The Sith knew about him, he was a target now, and they knew the power he could hold So they had no choice but to train him then

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.

It’s pretty consistent thing about The Deep that he only really does this for the money, rather than being extremely depraved like the other Supes So his telling her to wear the suit seems be more inline with that It’s obviously not good at all, but it’s not as extreme as the other route

They’re referring to a scene where Black Noir tries to force Starlight into the extremely revealing suit and likely assault her Deep was trying to convince Starlight to wear it before but he and Jack have a cleary startled expression when Black Noir is there He doesn’t say or do anything to indicate in the scene he’s onboard with what Noir is doing

@DownR4g @logancreed17 @PsytheStudent It’s funny I got like a dozen guys fuming at for this, but if 32 thousand other people saw it and completely understood what I meant even if the wording is weird I think the problem is still them
