Yeah basically it's sugary ketchup with some jalapeno concentrate added in

It tastes okay but the love for it is definitely manufactured much like Beto O'Rourke

Whataburger Spicy Ketchup is legit good, but a reasonable substitute is Heinz with cayenne powder mixed in

Whataburger spicy ketchup is good because Whataburger's normal, non-spicy ketchup is also really good. Not sure what they do, but it has a better texture than any of the main brands, and doesn't seem quite as sweet either.

you have to have a personal brand already for companies to want you to advertise for them

the social media "influencers" are no different from the pre-social media "famous for being famous" celebs who shilled makeup like paris hilton or the kardashians

it apparently did a story about some Imerial nobody chick falling in love with Vader and it didn’t go well, and now the thisposting fangirls feel slighted and I guess they take it (not entirely wrongly) as a bit of a dig against them, particularly the type of shippers real into Good Guy Bad Guy romances.

The “Renlo” shippers are of course invariably TLJ fans apparently get a lot of flack from some other fan types who think that Kyle Ren is problematic and villain hero romances are justifying abuse and apparently enjoying fiction as anything more than prescriptive admonitions about right living from Goody Goodies means you’re problematic, which is straight up dumb.

I saw one poster say it was bad because it was lampooning their power fantasies and it seems pretty stupid on every angle.

Tl;dr Star Wars fans are dumb, and feminism only exists as a critique of Star Wars in 2019. This world is Kessel.

'It's easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism.'
it's a comic where an imperial nurse has a crush on vader. the comic deliberately apes things like phantom of the opera and little mermaid. she thinks vader likes her - she idolizes him, thinks he left his cape behind for her, and daydreams about being a sith lord like him with him as her lover. it's a pretty standard fangirl forbidden romance kind of story. so, she breaks into vader's room, pledges her love to him... and he murders her with his lightsaber and calls her garbage. the character is never even named.

it's bizarre and lazy because a story where a nurse starts acting like vader and sees him as an inspiration could be interesting, and is honestly more disturbing than 'lol she's crazy, die bitch.' it's also funny given that rey existing killed misogyny in star wars or whatever.

it sucks because in star wars vader's story in the movies was actually good where he at first appears as an all-powerful force of evil who slaughters the good guy soldiers effortlessly in the first sequence of the first movie but in the end becomes redeemed by his son's unconditinal love and its really a good story of how a family or a community can bring someone out of a dark phase of their lifebbut then the whole thing was bastardized

the most damning evidence that lucas had no idea what he was doing and just lucked into one of the most compelling folklores of the modern era was that in the age of modern executive control over storytelling he didnt mandate a rider that vader was always to be portrayed as a tragic lost soul

the worst part of the new star wars was how luke was flabberghasted by kylo's temptation to evil when he himself felt the same thing from his hatred of vader for killing obi wan and was able to talk a guy who had fallen into a much darker place out of it by recognizing the human connection. it was like the writers for the latest movie hadnt even watched the originals

how the original movies turned out as masterpieces of storytelling when by all evidence (ie the prequels) george lucas was a total loving moron who coupdnt tell his rear end from a hole in the ground is one of the biggest unexplained mysteries of modern media criticism

also lmao forever at how in the remastered george lucas version of return of the jedi he replaced the ghost of vader with a ghost of anakin from the prequels. the climax of the entire story was vader realizing that he too even after he had murdered millions of people there was no such thing as being too far gone and that after honest contrition even he could change his ways and rejoin society. and lucas decides that Good Vader is in fact not the fatherly unmasked man who is 100% distinct from the terrifying monster but instead somene completely different. completely undoing the arc of vader's epiphany that even he was not beyond redemption by making it clear that unmasked vader who turned his back on his false god (the emperor represents power-hungry sociopathy) because of his love for his son was not actually a good guy.

Lucas was going through a bad diverse or something during the latter two movies so he had less involvement. Also lamo if you take any of the remastered versions as canon, the originals are the only things worth watching and remembering.

the remastered versions are canon because they demonstrate a) the desecration of art by the profit motive and b) how art (or any endeavor) is a collective effort and when one man has unchecked authority to make executive decisions with nobody able to question him the result is total garbage
