I loved it. Its only sin was being placed where it was in the announcement video lol. Should not have been the “one more
Thing” they ended the video on.

“Stereotypes exist for a reason” lmao. Jesus Christ. They exist because they’re over generalizations often informed by or caused by prejudice.

That scene in TLJ could have been beautiful if the force wasn’t already democratized(the skywalkers are really the only particularly special family of force users we know of) and people didn’t treat it like it was some novel idea.

They’re so close to handling this topic with nuance and grace I really hope they don’t undermine the entire Amani plot lol. Sometimes it feels like Americans have internalized “sharing is caring” as “I should be able to take your stuff without asking and you should be fine with it”

The team needs more top down direction man. Why are the teams so siloed?? I’m going to assume these discrepancies are a process thing and a worse idea and not like malicious intent to undermine the Amani story lol

Zul Jan is too interesting of a character to just kill off. Let people grow and change! I’m kind of tired of writers killing off characters lol.

We should be able to edit our own DMs on this site.

This scene would have been improved if Anakin was appropriate dressed 😤

The problem is that posts are called skeets lmfao. 😭😭

Or it was executed well and wasn’t intended to be a thriller movie lol.

It’s also incredibly lazy. And I don’t use that word lightly - I generally dislike using it describe an artists effort or work. But anyone can come up with a mystery box that has no answer. You should always know what’s in the box if you’re going to setup a mystery.

Just watched 4 episodes of the Darth Maul animated show and really liked it. Recommend.

Unreasonably happy about this lol.

I think social media algorithms encourage and reward this sort of behavior. I’m always willing to engage with thoughtful critique. But most is just cinemasins adjacent shit that doesn’t hold up if you actually scrutinize it.

It’s beyond “let people enjoy things” imo. They are miserable and reaching with incoherent arguments.

I could see it being like something akin to how Sunwalkers use the light. Tapping into another part of it that isn’t like capital L light. So same thing for shadow and void. But tbf how any of this works isn’t super clear. I just don’t want shadow hunters getting void whispers

Is shadow magic the darkspear use even void? I acruallt don’t know? But yeah it would annoy me especially since the VOID elves use the void and most of them are not evil

I’m forever thankful to George Lucas for teaching me how to engage with visual storytelling telling and not just its literary components.

To my non tech normies, PSA: when you share a link, everything after the ? is tracking. Those “query parameters” tell companies exactly how you arrived, what app you clicked, which ad or email sent you, sometimes a unique identifier tied to you. You can delete everything after the question mark.

Yeah it doesn’t make any sense. The cope thought I have is that it wasn’t intended to come off as resolved as it does and it’s just not written very well. And they just can’t help themselves with the unity speeches.

I hope 12.1 ties directly into whatever is going on with the A plot becuase it’s gonna feel like a weird detour lol.

Bellular pointed this out, but Maria’s interview for midnight(not sure which one it was) made it sound like they had lofty plans for the elf unity. So either that all got cut or there’s more to come cuz I don’t buy for a second anyone looked at 20 minutes of questing and said yup that’s complete.

Maul Shadowlord is truly special man. everyone involved top down, bottom up, should be so proud.

Dude I feel immensely stupid. I stopped doing a lower back workout after my surgery because I saw SO many videos from alleged fitness professionals(who didn’t actually have any qualifications) telling me that Superman’s exacerbate the injury. Only for my ortho to be like wtf you talking about?

Maybe it was just the overuse of the car in knight that I didn’t like

I feel like City had you doing doing more bespoke tasks in meaningfully different locations. But maybe that’s rose-tinted glasses

It’s not aided by the whole game feeling like it has less interesting missions than the previous games - gameplay and narratively. It has this dry, checklist-y, design.

My ADHD really out here just skipping words my brain thinks and fingers don’t type. Very fun.

It would be very easy for the writers to cast blame the tension between the Blood elves and Amani solely on Zul’jin. As if they the elves didn’t kill his people and steal their land. I kind of expect them to do this but I hope they don’t.

Well said! It would be very typical for Zul’jan to just get the villain bat and have everything he said be dismissed. I really hope the story also engages with Zul’jin being a complicated figure and that he was radicalized for a good reason.
