@quinnthegm The show was already running a diet version of the books. It took a shit dive once it ran out of source material.

just speaking from the Game of Thrones front the show's entire back half is already quite bad, I think it was beyond the point of recovery by the end of season 6, maybe earlier

@BeautifulSOAB @RJSWtrilogyWhen @PalmyrPar Lucas saw the EU as other people playing in his sandbox. He'd take ideas, names, locations, etc. that he liked & discarded the rest. Its how Talon would appear 100 years before she existed, and why Mara Jade ended up in tue shadow realm.
English
@RJSWtrilogyWhen @PalmyrPar Why bother doing that if he never considered it canon? That makes no sense.
That'd be like if Tolkien was still alive today, wrote a sequel to Lord of the Rings, and included easter eggs to the Shadow of Mordor games and Rings of Power.

I think Andor is the best Star Wars can get without Lucas. You’re not going to get the unique genius of the original auteur, and trying to recreate it has been a ridiculous disaster. The best you can do is this sort of grim, new wave interpretation of an existing world that’s good as its own thing.
Kevin Lamb@KevinLamb74
I don't know who needs to hear this, but Andor's grim portrayal of homicidal rebels was dumb. Screw Luthen, Saw Gerrera, and Andor himself. Star Wars is a fairy tale. The good guys are good. Han in ANH and Lando in ESB is as gray as they get (which is to say, not very.) To say that the ends justify the means misses the entire point of Anakin's fall.

This whole chain of events from the Death Star leak, the Rebels attacking Scariff and stealing the Death Star plans, the Senate abolished and Alderaan destroyed, and the Death Star itself then getting destroyed all happened within like 2 weeks. Embarassing time to be Palpatine
Best of Star Wars@bestofstarwar
A year ago, Andor completed its final act. Some of the best acting in Star Wars shows happened in these three episodes. In the interrogation scene, Krennic placing his finger on Dedra’s head wasn’t in the Andor S2 script. Ben Mendelsohn improvised it.

@ZeroShift7 @PepsiAl252865 @YankeeLovesCats @yogi_0925 @CL0k3 If the party switch never happened then why do so many MAGA fly confederate flags? You never see southern leftists flying it.
English
@PepsiAl252865 @YankeeLovesCats @yogi_0925 @CL0k3 Right because the partyswitch was so real and totally happened, but then also happened several more times because it was also the democrats who founded the kkk last century.
Also btw i replied with an image of a leftist immediately saying the N word upon losing an argument

I will get crucified for this but man seeing you complain like 5x about yuri is annoying as shit.

Every single yuri ship with Still is literally just copium, I’m not joking. If you can’t handle the heat, GET OUT OF THE KITCHEN. No, f!trainer is not yuri, it’s yume.

@piccadilly395 @LikeaWakuza @killingspacing That's some Puritanical talking points alright. That's not how the brain works and not how sex or addiction work.
By this logic you demqns more extreme sex every time you fuck your partner. Especially if you're both extra frisky.
English
@LikeaWakuza @killingspacing It's visual stimuli that literally rewires your brain and impacts how you view the opposite sex. Every time you jerk off to something you're conditioning yourself to want more of it and eventually more extreme versions of it. It's not benign.
English
its leftist to not want ur future husband to jerk off to another womans body while in a relationship with u in 2026

@Reclusiarch101 @HerscherofWAAGH @The_Noise_13 Every depiction of 4k Orks depicts them with a Cockney accent, and their behavior and mannerism are molded after football hooligans.

@HerscherofWAAGH @The_Noise_13 Jesus Christ... Orcs are orcs. Green mushrooms that love to fight. Why are you people looking for real world comparisons in a setting that is literally nothing but pure horror and suffering?

@1truVikingbard @EckhartsLadder If you think the ST as "dark and gritty " then my brother in Christ you do not understand even the basic concepts of Star Wars.
English
@EckhartsLadder Every one of you Gilroy-humpers need to hear this. Because you’re still making the same mistakes you’ve been making since 1983: you want gritty, dark, Terminator-style action movies bereft of anything that you consider “immature.”
That’s how we got the Disney sequels, btw

@StarckeSteve @WolfSchwarzMond @ArthurMacwaters Dude thought a submarine would be a good idea to rescue kids trapped in a cave and called the rescue lead organizer a pedophile when he told Musk that was a stupid idea.
Bro couldn't engineer his way out of a paper bag. He just pays smart people to make smart choices.

@WolfSchwarzMond @ArthurMacwaters What a stupid take. Elon knows engineering. He is one of the best.

@Td7653 @Clark_828 @peteoxenham There already are robotic arms and smart cover belts that do this. And at much faster speeds. And actually sort them instead of pretending to look at the lable before pushing it down a lone coveyer belt.
English
@Clark_828 @peteoxenham What if it only needs to be done for one hour each day?
Then the arm does nothing for 23 hours while the full humanoid robot could perform other tasks.

@cyynapse There are known organizations that frame themselves as pro-women feminist but are actually deeply conservative religious groups.
The one that comes to mind is the "feminist" group from Australia that got several games banned but are actually part of a alt right religious group

@SystemZ3RO @FifteethChance @rowanfornow Im in sf. I live and breathe leftys. You just can't talk politics with them like you cant talk about auntie Karen's drinking or her divorce. She just can't handle the truth. She will freak the fuk out lol

@2020riggedAF @FifteethChance @rowanfornow Good for you. Go have all.the BBQ you want. No one on the left will be going.
English
@SystemZ3RO @FifteethChance @rowanfornow Lol everyone wants to be around me and come to my bbqs. Im awesome.
That has nothing to do with leftys not being able to handle anyone disputing their false sense of moral superiority.
We're pointing out a toxic behavior, not asking to come to your dildo party or whatever
English
@2020riggedAF @FifteethChance @rowanfornow And that is why no one wants to be around you. You're not lacking companionship & camaraderie.
You want someone to challenge your beliefs to reassure them. No one is going to invite you to a family BBQ if all you do is ask what a woman is when you can't even act like a man.
English
@SystemZ3RO @FifteethChance @rowanfornow Lol you have to be able to defend your positions with at least a sliver of coherence before you can say this.
You ppl can't even answer what a woman is.
English
@2020riggedAF @FifteethChance @rowanfornow Or everyone is tired of dealing with bullshit that it's easier and less stressful to just remove toxic people from your life, especially ones who say they have your interests at heart then vote against those very interests.
English
@FifteethChance @rowanfornow The left hasn't been able to deal with any disagreement for a long time now. The can't defend any of their crazy positions so they just censor out the "badthink"

@KdeKercy They know there's money in the franchise. They just won't make all the money. EA makes games for their shareholders, not the consumer.
English
In an era when Konami jumped in train with Silent Hill because Capcom is milking Resident Evil like never before and studios like Bloober Team are raising because of survival horror, EA doesn't see profit on the genre, what a bunch of stupid ass people.

🚨Transgender Schizophrenic Utahn Murdered Parents Because Mom Interfered With Genital Surgery🚨
Mia Bailey — born as Collin Troy Bailey (biological male) — shot both of his parents in the head.
Mia (Collin) said that he was scheduled to have his gender reassignment surgery, but claims that his mother put a stop to it.
In the coldest statement ever, Mia (Collin) said, “She (Mia’s mother) can’t say sorry to save her life, apparently.”
“I had one thing going on & she (Mia’s mother) took it away from me.”
“She was a target because she betrayed me.”
Mia (Collin) plead guilty to 2 counts of aggravated murder & aggravated assault
& was sentenced to 50 years in prison.

@Willfitinpocket @TheWyattJames_ @nickjcal Since when did people take review scores seriously? I thought that was the whole point about being critical about games media? Everyone dismisses IGN when they rate a good game a 7 but suddenly flip out when they give a game a 10
English
@TheWyattJames_ @nickjcal The game is absolutely a 5-6. A 10 just feels so off, something is going on
