mike knowing what a kaiber crystal is but not remembering that episode 1 takes place before episode 3 is the most mike thing to ever happen

he doesn't have dementia, he has that thing college professors get where they seem really absent-minded but really their brains have just gotten insanely efficient at throwing out information to make room for the stuff thats's important to them. it's just the stuff that's important to him is also stupid. he'll forget that palpatine returned despite it being the dumbest thing ever and hving seen the movie himself and being reminded that it happened constantly via memes but he will never need to be reminded what a "prewarp civilization" is

This video utterly fascinates me, they like the show, but then they go into their Rich and Mike mode and pick stuff apart, missing obvious things. And also obsess about Luthen being a jedi.

It’s wild because Mike and Rich seem to be able to recognize quality and their recommendations typically line up with mine but it’s as if they have no media literacy whatsoever and their desicions are based entirely on random sequences of synapses firing

He does, first saw him on Boardwalk Empire but it's always great when he shows up in something. I was surprised to see him in the new Mission Impossible but he kicks rear end in it!

Also he rules in the video for "close your eyes (and count to gently caress)" by Run the Jewels (with LaKeith Stanfield, who also owns)

He was excellent in Boardwalk, what a goodass series

I'm impressed that both Mike and Rich got the completely wrong read on Syril Karn's character arc. I expect that front Mike but Rich? They're so, so close to recognizing that Syril's story is about how good intentions and ideals get corrupted by fascism leading normal people to draw the wrong conclusions, only for both Mike and Rich to also draw the wrong conclusion themselves.

Syril's arc should end with him at the Star Wars version of Jan 6

Yeah it will be interesting to see what Andor season 2 is. The writing is really good. Never going to argue with anyone who is 100% done with Star Wars other than to say I was never really into in the first place and haven't even seen all the movies, but Andor is a lot more like a historically literate drama (not in the specifics obviously but in a people's stories interfacing with empire/revolution sense).

I like how Mike can't imagine how the Empire works. Like how does any government work? Yeah people join the empire, just like how people join the army or join the state department or become a cop or become a local judge or get a nice paying job at Newport News shipyards. That's the whole point of Andor, it shows the banality of the whole thing. Yeah there's thousands of middle class core worlds paying taxes and funneling tax money from their economies into the empire, just as they did in the republic.

Also they're so correctly mad about the idea of Luthen being a Jedi but then demand an entire missing-the-point-of-the-character rehabilitation arc for arc for Kyle's character? Guys come on, you were so close to understanding the character by seeing the parallels with Andor.

Liberals love fascism and happily helped set up the empire. That’s the plot of the prequels. They are really annoying though so Palpatine built the Death Star so he could finally get rid them. He dissolved the Senate as soon as the Death Star was up and running.
