A short time ago in a galaxy not so far away, Defendants made it clear that only one orthodoxy in thought, speech, or action was acceptable their empire, and that those who dared to question or failed to fully comply would not be tolerated. And so it was with Carano. After two highly acclaimed seasons on The Mandalorian as Rebel ranger Cara Dune, Carano was terminated from her role as swiftly as her character’s peaceful home planet of Alderaan had been destroyed by the Death Starin an earlier Star Wars film. And all this because she dared voice her own opinions, on social media platforms and elsewhere, and stood up to the online bully mob who demanded her compliance with their extreme progressive ideology.

Defendants’ wrath over their employees’ social media posts also differed depending on sex. Even though “the Force is female,”Defendants chose to target a woman while looking the other way when it came to men. While Carano was fired, Defendants took no action against male actors who took equally or more vigorous and controversial positions on social media.But the rule of law still reigns over the Defendants’ empire. And Carano has returned to demand that they be held accountable for their bullying, discriminatory, and retaliatory actions—actions that inflicted

here's an idea, what if the work shift for the day simply is delayed by ten seconds (or even, god forbid, a minute) and life carries on as normal because it doesn't loving matter

World falls apart stuff is always fun. It's why I was actually excited for Fear the Walking Dead. First couple episodes made it seem like it'd be a really cool tense slowburn thing. Got too crazy too fast and by season 2 it was no different from the main show

Keep seeing ads for the Norman Reedus spinoff. Can't believe this series still makes enough money for all this stuff

Is it really that much worse than successful Marvel movies that weren't very good?

In a world wheretruly mediocre stuff like Iron Man 3 was going off the charts and movies about (culturally) minor characters like Ant Man and Dr. Strange also became big successes, I can see why someone more personally invested might still be wondering why their particular baby didn't do well. Plus, we are talking about subjective opinions, right?

I think there's a certain blindness to people who don't actually like superheroes to why concepts like the Marvels and Eternals are dull and come off as basically vaguely superhero-flavoured white noise compared to things like a shrinking thief or a reality-twisting wizard. See the complaints about MCU finales turning into figures floating around shooting lasers at each other until one of them falls down, and Eternals and the Marvels are peak that.

Yup, hammers and maces and some axes are actually the best way to kill mfs in plate. Actually the best best is a hammer with a big spike on the other side since the force of the spike swing is focused on the small tip and can actually pierce plate or you can jello-ise the organs with hammer blows. Swords struggled even to get through chainmail with stabs and their slashes could be beaten by thick padded coats. Sword havers btfo

Tbf as overrated as they are in popular conception a heavy sword doesn't need to pierce armour to ruin your day

Even if you're properly padded and mailed and plated taking a solid broadsword swing to the dome isn't gonna tickle, and if you lose your concentration or worse, footing, you're probably hosed

The dagger is for finishing moves anyway

Fear the Walking Dead had a plotline about a beached nuclear submarine launching it's ICBMs. The nuclear weapons are not used to stop zombies.

That's separate from the other Walking Dead spinoff that had multiple poison gas attacks on surviving towns. Again, the gas attacks were not meant to kill zombies.

WMD usage is weirdly common in that franchise.

Went to a performance of Aaron Sorkin's stage adaptation to Kill a Mockingbird. I didn't realize until we got to the theater that it was Sorkin. Absolute dog poo poo. Dude misunderstood Mockingbird and decided what we really need is a version that takes down that white savior Atticus Finch. Except Atticus isn't one in the book so Sorkin needs to add a bunch of poo poo and change things to make Finch one so that he can then tear him down. Except he doesn't and the ending is the same as the book and Atticus learns sometimes the law isn't enough.

Calpurnia gets an expanded role but she mostly used it to look at the audience and give "that just happened" comments. It also had a joke almost every minute.
