@vap0r1 @amcey3 @jackbuckby I hear it’s the best cheese for a burger because it melts without splitting.

@amcey3 @jackbuckby Umm "american cheese", is real cheese mixed with emulsifiers to make it melt better...

I am learning tonight that Americans really think the cheddar on their supermarket shelves is actually cheddar
English
That's simply incorrect.

Crazy how after 13 years of Disney Star Wars, they still haven't produced a SINGLE iconic ship design
English
@NicholasJLevi @TSoS_ How are we counting Disney originals? This is just a TIE variation barely different from the TIE Avenger.
English
@FantasyGalaxies Everyone in 1999 thought the saber duel was cool, not sure what alternate history you’re remembering. It’s the rest of the movie people didn’t like.
English
I genuinely don't understand how the previous generation watched this in 1999 and 2005 and call it bad....

@santigonver @ShitpostRock2 Is the ghost not one of the various Corellian transport variants from X-Wing Alliance? Even if not the Otana mogs it.

@evh1234567890 @ShitpostRock2 It even has the low poly cockpit pre-XvT update!
English
@evh1234567890 @ShitpostRock2 Kylo’s TIE in TLJ looks more like the original’90s TIE Avenger than the Avenger in Andor. 🤔

@tama76436 @ShitpostRock2 Is it then self-nostalgia bait that they brought the old one back?
English
@ShitpostRock2 All they can do is rehashes and knockoffs to rival the chinese. The only remotely memorable ship they came up with was the one from Dadalorian, but they blew it up and replaced it with a Naboo starfighter because they're just that dependent on bastardized nostalgia-bait.
English
@pilk_dr @ShitpostRock2 Very telling that most Disney era ships just look like weird boxes and most of the cool looking ones are modified EU designs.

@HatsuneMiku8814 @Rent_a_Shaman @The_Clermontian Correction: It’s the Delta-class Escort Shuttle not the assault shuttle.
English
@HatsuneMiku8814 @Rent_a_Shaman @The_Clermontian The Bad Batch shuttle is also only slightly modified from the assault shuttles in the X-Wing and TIE Fighter games.
English
The U-Wing is peak but unfortunately not quite iconic.

@Rent_a_Shaman @OssiBisZumEnde @The_Clermontian TIE Avenger is from the 1993 TIE Fighter game and its sequels.
English
@OssiBisZumEnde @The_Clermontian I thought the ad starfighter and avenger were 2 different ships?
English
@fspelledwrong @The_Clermontian Avenger is not a Disney era design, they just slightly tweaked the LucasArts ship.
English
@The_Clermontian They could have made an Andor ship iconic if he stuck with one, but since they switch around a lot there isn’t one ‘Andor’s TIE Avenger’ or ‘Cassian’s U-wing’

@RiffVues @Ian_Fisch @ndsnas Only vaguely. I do remember watching The Toys that Made Us where they discussed this whole process.
English
@Blast_Proc @Ian_Fisch @ndsnas Someone else remembers the mini comics that came with the first figures, I see.
English
@iamdanielgeske @PringledCheeto @Ian_Fisch @ndsnas The lore in the comics that came with the original toys was completely different than what Filmation came up with for the show. IIRC I had a few picture books that used the original lore as well.
English
English
@Ian_Fisch @ndsnas The original idea is that it’s a neutral seat of power, and whoever held the power sword had control of it. Like a PvP objective. The sword was originally in two halves, one came with He Man, one with Skeletor. The completed sword could be inserted to open the gate like a key.
English
@ndsnas The show was based around toys. I’m guessing they originally had this planned to be the bad guy’s lair, but then realized they’d sell a lot more if it was the good guys’ instead.

@PunishedHoots I’m a big fan of the British(?) pronunciation of the dinosaur Diplodocus dip-low-DOC-us. Just rings more of a real animal name than diPLOD-o-cuss.
English
This week we should say which pronunciations we love. I love the way British people say "skeletal"
Qui-Gon Jim@jimbojd4
Since we hating on Europeans I just wanna add that I absolutely loathe the way British people say “pasta”
English
@allowableman2 MotU has the same problem as Age of Sigmar. The setting is so limitless and vaguely defined that it’s hard to connect to. The best modern interpretation of the vaguely surreal space fantasy aesthetic was Outland in Warcraft.

He-Man is harder to modernize than it looks.
gen z superboy (official)@shin_kale_rider
It’s interesting that compared to other toy-driven franchises of the 80s like Transformers or TMNT, He-Man never really found its footing in 21st century pop culture
