  1. No, not allowed. You can't be a sanderfan until you've read the Elantris sequel.
  2. A lot of people may not be overtly prejudiced, but may still have unconscious bias. For example, "I'm not racist, I like all races (even the bad ones)". Someone can intellectually acknowledge that women are equal to men, but still unconsciously believe that women belong in a certain place or should behave a certain way, and get upset, or at least surprised when they step outside of their expectations. This does not describe Wayne. Wayne is the opposite. He will make sexist comments and misogynistic jokes that he doesn't really believe, probably a combination of his humor and upbringing. He doesn't view women as being less capable and doesn't get upset or surprised when women step outside of traditional gender norms. He also is clearly in touch with his feminine side and has no issue dressing as a woman or doing feminine things. So basically, Wayne is a misogynistic feminist icon.
  3. Nightblood 100% belongs on this list, but I have no idea where
  4. I'm honestly not a fan of this arc. I absolutely love Ashoka, but the new characters are frankly unlikable and dumb. Trace acts like a street-wise hyper competent pilot, but is in reality as sub par pilot who flies into restricted airspace and dumps a spice shipment into hyperspace for no reason whatsoever. Rafa is even worse in my opinion. At least Trace tries to be a good person, but Rafa is constantly spouting that "family has to stick together. Only sisters can trust each-other" as if her relationship with trace is anything other than parasitical. She relies on her younger sister to pay off her debt and regularly gets Trace into trouble, yet she still has the audacity to act like the smarter and more mature older sibling. On top of that, she never gets called out on it (except for one line by Ashoka). Just about every conflict in this arc is a direct result of one or both of the sister's incompetence, and it feels like Ashoka is just babysitting them most of the time. Obviously, it's The Clone Wars, and It's still good, but the slower pacing along with the annoying characters drags this arc down, especially since this is the final season which will only contain twelve episodes. It just feels like wasted space, even if it isn't bad.
  5. I don't think the problem is that there isn't enough action. I actually like the idea of a character driven story. My problem is that there is too much emphasis being put on two characters who I don't really care about. The story so far doesn't really feel like it's about Ahsoka, which is weird because the last time we saw her she left the Jedi order! Her emotions should be all over the place now, but it's not being explored like it should.
  6. In celebration of finally finishing The Wheel of Time, here are some WoT memes:
  7. I am shocked that no one has made the obligatory stick joke yet.
  8. Let me put it this way, here is the opening crawl for A New Hope: And Here is the opening crawl for The Phantom Menace: I don't think the movie itself is as bad as Attack of the Clones is, but it's also a lot more dull and has a lot less going for it. Star Wars is supposed to be epic, and The Phantom Menace just ends up falling short in almost every regard.
  9. The prequels are definitely bad movies, yet they can still be very enjoyable if you are willing to look past their flaws. The Phantom Menace isn't that bad. Mostly, I think it was just a huge disappointment for star wars fans more than anything. Revenge of the Sith is actually pretty good, at least until Anakin went from "I'll never join the dark side" to "Ima murder some children" in about thirty seconds. Attack of the Clones however... Oh scud! The Obi-wan plot-line is actually really good, but it gets overshadowed by the atrocity that is the Anakin/Padme plot-line. First of all, Hayden Christensen is not a good actor in this movie, secondly, the script is about as terrible as is physically possible. The romance is one of the hardest things to watch in all of cinema. I mean, Anakin just seems like such a creep! And don't even get me started on Anakin's relationship with sand!! Watching The Clone Wars definitely helps make the prequel trilogy become more enjoyable. Honestly, that show is everything that the movies should have been.
  10. Star Wars fans can't enjoy Star Wars Memes?
  11. The prequels are by far the best thing ever to happen to Star Wars. Why? Because of the memes.
