I would enjoy it to be the opposite of what you'd expect too. A Yautja ship suffers a mechanical failure and is forced to make a landing for repairs on a lush forest world. The crew settles in for the night before effecting repairs. As the darkness falls, strange small shapes appear in the trees and the master hunters find themselves locked in a pitched fight for their own survival.

Yeah, Placemat Lore had Endor near a black hole that conveniently sucked up all the Death Star debris, and also turned the place into the Star Wars equivalent of the Bermuda Triangle.

I finally got around to watching episode 3 (Or Grogu learns about the circle of life) and 4 (Or let's set the plot in motion) of season 2 of the Mandalorian. Both episodes have been wonderful. For me either near or at the level of those first 2 episodes of this season. Grogu eternally putting things in his mouth hasn't gotten old yet and having other things put Grogu in their mouths is a fun turn around. I especially like how at the end, with Grogu watching the baby frog, you can't help but wonder whether he's wondering when he's going to eat it or whether he actually likes it like an older brother. The way the relationship between Grogu and Mando is developing is so nice to see.  The red and blue wire discussion made me chuckle."No, I have enough pets."  Episode 4 meanwhile is more straightforward action and infiltration and I loved it. Though I did miss John Williams in the big chase sequence. I loved the dumb shout outs to the lack or railings on the precariously placed generator controls. I was kinda down on the way the Cara was introduced in season 1, but I've really grown to love her. I just love the sheer physicality she brings to this. She's not some skinny girl who can kick your rear end because magical martial arts. Nope, she's a loving tank who looks like she's going to kick rear end anytime she's on the screen. It's unfortunate that apparently she's been aborted or something? I'm kinda hazy on the details but apparently she said something dumb. I'd say there's one thing that's starting to nag me though. It feels a little like it's pretending the galaxy is huge? Mando keeps coming back to the same 3-5 people and 1-2 planets. It's not enough to stop me from enjoying it, but his search feels a little like asking the neighbours and then going back home when they didn't know anything. Same with the X-Wing Pilot from episode 2 showing up at the end on the exact same planet to ask questions. You know what brings me much more delight than it has any right of doing. It's those dumb red and white big push buttons everywhere. I have no idea why, but those big black consoles dotted with rows of bright red and white buttons just make me giddy. Maybe it's my inner child and how Starwars Empire those consoles look. Or maybe the satisfying click those things make. Or just the bright contrast, but it just makes me smile when I see another set of rows of very pushable looking buttons. I hope I can watch the next episodes soon. Though I'm not exactly looking forward to meeting Ahsoka.

She made multiple anti-mask (at the height of the pandemic), anti-vax (once vaccines became available), anti-trans comments despite her co-stars (Pedro Pascal especially) begging her to shut up. Eventually she made herself toxic enough that Disney cut her loose. I recall suggesting at the time "maybe she was taken out of content or didn't really mean it" and other things white people say when other other white people they like say bigoted poo poo. But nope, she wasn't taken out of content and she totally meant it. So she scuttled her chance at big fame/fortune to... I dunno maybe appear with Kevin Sorbo or Kirk Cameron in some God's Corpse Totally Doesn't Stink Because Jesus's Cop-Firefighter Says So movie

Carano had the opportunity to defuse the situation and certainly seemed like she was moving in that direction after talking about it with Pedro. And then she chose to mock the "post your pronouns in Twitter" thing. If she didn't want to stay silent on the issue, she could've had an honest discussion about where she was coming from and what she believed, but she chose to be a shitheel and punched down instead. Acting like she was the one being persecuted just poured gasoline on the fire.

She wasn't much of an actor anyway and it was crazy they looked to be on the path of making her a star of her own show.

She was a good physical actress and the character was cool. She couldn't deliver dialogue to save her life (there's a reason they gave her almost no lines in Deadpool) and absolutely could not stop herself from screaming stupid bigoted opinions despite repeatedly being asked to shut the gently caress up, so yeah, she won't be missed. Ben Shapiro and Dinesh D'Souza can simp for her and put her in their movies nobody watches.

I think it’s also worth noting that this wasn’t just like a bad night or something where she said a bunch of dumb poo poo in a short period, these posts were done over several months and apparently she was told by the powers that be at Disney to knock it off a few times. Supposedly, their original announcement of that Rangers of the New Republic show at their big stock meeting thing (Where they also announced Kenobi, Visions, Bad Batch, and a bunch of other stuff) was going to heavily feature her, but that got toned down based on whatever comments she had made around that time as they started hedging their bets on making her the focal point of anything.

Really that's the important takeaway from this: She wasn't a victim of "cancel culture" or treated unfairly in the heat of the moment because of triggered snowflakes or social justice or whatever dumbass narrative that conservatives try to create. She repeatedly and intentionally took steps to show that she's an ignorant hateful bigot and thought that was more important than a lifelong check from Disney.

feedmyleg posted:Yeah because you don't have brain disease called conservatism It's not the same thing. Carano and her ilk aren't conservatives. They're what used to be known as "yellow-dog Democrats" back when the South was the "Solid South" for Democrats. They were called such because after the Civil War, they'd vote for a yellow(cowardly) dog if he was a Democrat than any Republican. They were a pack of bigoted shitheels then and they still are. In the 50s and 60s the Democratic party moved somewhat Left and embraced causes like Civil Rights, Johnson's Great Society,. Women's Liberation, legal abortion, etc. That got women and minorities voting for the Democrats. In the wake of the rise of the "Christian Right" the GOP decided to make a play for the "Solid South." And it worked. Reagan got two terms. Bush Sr. got one, but the South became pretty solidly GOP. The Yellow Dogs found themselves stuck with the GOP because anything the Democrats wanted would automatically be worse. It worked pretty well for the GOP until Trump came along. Because in Trump, the Yellow Dogs finally elected one of their (pig-ignorant, bigoted) own to the White House. And we saw how that turned out.
