@Aspiring Writer Leave something for me to complain about! Honestly, I feel the writing process of this movie consisted of smashing action figures together and saying "and then" after each explanation of what said smashing was supposed to represent.

Nah, the beskar armor and weapons have been a part of the Mandalorian identity since Legends.

This is no game, it is my culture!

I understand about the propensity to mini-rant about the sequel trilogy, I suffer those same humours! But you are also right, this is currently a thread of happiness!

No kidding. I lost my voice yelling at The Return of Skywalker (never saw it in theatre, so this was at a friend's house)

Yes, if future Star Wars follows the foundations laid by the Mandalorian, we're going to have a real fun time!

Jurassic Park is great, arguably Michael Crichton's best book. You don't need to bother with the sequel. It's not terrible, but I always assume everyone has a giant TBR pile, no need to defer books from that for what is the Platonic Form of Airport Books.

Now THAT'S some quality Star Wars!

Yeah, I'm not even going to try to get a PS5 until things calm down.

Here's a relevant graphic for folks feeling under the weather: it helps to identify what your problem is (mine is that these graphics always load sideways for me on the Shared, codsarnit!) This was made in reference to Covid- created isolation, but I think can be adapted for broader scenarios.

I am also enjoying Shallan's story in this book.

Well, I have RoW, but Quick won't let me read it...

There's a couple ways to address ambiguity in your arguments. The acceptable way: Use your "I feel" statements. Like "I feel Kaladin needs a Snickers" or "I believe everything will be resolved through the introduction of fan fiction into the Cosmere." It flows better and communicates that you know you could be wrong, but right now based on evidence available to you, this is what you adductively think. The right way: Just proclaim your wildest theories as gospel truth (Kaladin is 4 sperns in a trenchcoat!) and question the most obvious facts (Is Syl really a spern? Maybe she's the only human on Roshar!)

I'd forgotten about X-23! She's great! I think what helped Miles Morales establish himself as Spider-man is that originally, in the Ultimates Universe, Peter Parker died and he was the only Spider-man in town. Now you can only tell the difference based upon what adjective the comic book employs on Spider-man Marvel has been working pretty hard to get new characters to take up popular names... with varying success. I think Amadeus Cho crashed and burned as the Hulk whereas Robbie Reys has some success as Ghostrider. Lunella Lafayette succeeded as Moon Girl in part because no one cares or knows about Moon Boy

@Use the Falchion Kamala Khan would be a success story as well, being that she is known and associated with Ms Marvel, possibly more so than Carol Danvers. Definitely more so than the other two. I suppose if we take that as an example, Peter Parker would have to adopt a different persona name... like Captain Spider!

What about ham? Me? I'm very picky with my pork products. I've only recently found ham that I like, pork has to be cooked a certain way, I like some but not all sausage and bacon has to be just crispy enough. I'm pickier with eggs. I love them, but almost never when someone else cooks them.

Ok, turns out that I was one episode off of where people get the She-ra vibes (the Grom episode). So fine, I get it... y'all are wrong but I get it. Went ahead and finished the first season, because why not? It's fun, and I'll definitely check out Season 2 when it comes out.

Today's controversial take: meat is delicious!

Started watching this show, finally. I'm getting some Gravity Falls vibes, but I imagine that is because of the voice work of Alex Hirsch. I'm also getting some Star Vs the Forces of Evil vibes as well.
