Prominent Time waster. Not as clever as I think I am.

@Framinthor @some_leftie Your position has changed quite a bit from "we all believe the same things we did in the 90s". And are you sure you want to do the list thing? It doesn't look great for White Americans around that time either (outside of 9/11, obviously).

@OfyBurger Its completely irrelevant though. Im sure if Onmi-man had been interested in destroying the planet he'd have done so. He wanted to kill the big bug in such a way that would leave it in good order to butcher and eat. Very different level of force needed. Not like the bug hurt.

I think invincible is a perfect example of why I find the whole “I don’t care about power scaling, I just care about writing” mindset to be really misguided. Like, the power system and the logic behind fights/how strong characters are is BAKED into the writing. Not separate.
Bry ブライ@hotrod_521

I’m reaching the point where powerscaling is genuinely starting to hurt my enjoyment of the show. #invincible I cannot believe this is the same dude struggling in any way to fight bugs

@timAcatsoftpaws Lol man he is a side character, and remained one except in a few books until he got a TV show. Thats just a fact. Idk why your so stuck on that. Lots of side characters are well liked.

By the Legacy of the Force books Mandalorians were simultaneously the ultimate warrior badasses whose generic soldiers could take storied Jedi Masters, but also the moral arbiter of the Galaxy. Calling them an authors pet would be underselling it by orders of magnitude.

@DefinitelyASpud By completely butchering them like most things he touches I see. Why do you hate Mandalorians? Where did that even come from?

@timAcatsoftpaws Instead of exploring the consequences of Return of the Jedi, we are playing hot potato with a black lightsaber. Starwars is a huge world. The way creatives lean on mandalorians and just pile on traits to them is boring when they could instead invent entirely new factions.

@timAcatsoftpaws I couldn't disagree more. They limit story opportunities and shrink the galaxy. Instead of a deep republic tradition or a strange kaminoian design, we get Mando armor because the audience recognizes it (i know the Canon reason).

@Framinthor @some_leftie I don't remember many people in 2001 calling for mass deportation or threatening American allies either. In fact I remember a lot of emphasis being put on creating a coalition at that time. Bush didnt do a very good job, but he still got most of Nato involved in Iraq.

@RealMarcFoxx Those other games rather famously weren't making enough money to keep the lights in at this point.

@timAcatsoftpaws The most interesting thing about them is their look and the backstory to Kotor. Past that they are generic faceless warrior dudes with comical levels of plot armor. As I've said, your welcome to disagree. I have no idea what people see in stories like that. But they sell.

@timAcatsoftpaws Because they were an obnoxious creators pet that was miserable to read from page to page. Because every time they were on the page it became an opportunity for the author to wax poetic about how perfect her warrior society is and how inherently evil Jedi are.

@timAcatsoftpaws This is a pointless conversation. You have your opinion and I have mine They come from different frames of reference. You arent going to call me names until I agree with an opinion that I firmly believe to be objectively wrong.

@DefinitelyASpud You're literally lying lmao. Boba Fett IS one of the faces of Star Wars. Why do you think we got Jango and The Mandalorian? He even got his own show. And Han is one of the main characters. Boba Fett was popular the moment fans saw him in Empire.

@Framinthor @some_leftie I dont remember many people in the 90s in favor of mass deportations and threatening our allies. Clinton was pretty well-liked abroad, as I recall actually.

@some_leftie This might have went over your head but aside from the religious people who support trump, majority of MAGA are 90s liberals. hope this helped. They didn't shift, Trump didn't shift his views either, y'all lost the plot and went to fucking lalaland with your progression

@isawarenshi @beardedsage5654 @FLMito @itsdigiornomofo Most hate internet hate campaigns are not driven by some malicious entity but by a bandwagoning. They are basically just elaborate dogpiles. No need for a conspiracy when the actual answer is way simpler.

Perhaps the best litmus test for Star Wars fans it asking their opinion of Mandalorians

@timAcatsoftpaws He's just not. He's a side character with cool armor. And Mandalorians extend beyond him. His importance ballooned explicitly in the period im talking about. He was generally just a recurring antagonist for Han.
