I have not seen any good Star Wars media after the Rebels and Rogue One era until Andor and boy is it a breath of fucking fresh air. I want more of this writing going forward

so I do enjoy Mandalorian! it's a really solid show and I even enjoyed a lot about Kenobi (even though its a mess lol and not what anyone wanted from it) and the Tusken episodes from BOBF were great to me. BUT lol I mean I think its kind of weird that people are pearl clutching about people saying Andor is like good for tv not just good for SW tv? yeah guys 22 minute episodes make building characters difficult. they do, they're too fast. I think Rebels is alright I don't even think its great most of the time, but I respect what it offers and what it tries to do. Clone Wars suffers from the same thing for me but IMO it offers some inspired moments (especially that last season's finale episodes omg).

And everyone knows I love Rogue One, although I'll be the first to acknowledge how flawed it is at certain points (forget the fuckin bor gullet which I have to skip lol I cannot watch it, it really suffers in character development especially of its LEAD CHARACTER JYN to the point that the novel and Jyn books do some work to her more sympathetic but i digress). BTW if anyone hasn't yet watched Rogue One and gone directly into A New Hope, do it at some point. It's pretty seamless.

However I have to be honest I think Andor is working in ways that nothing else has done so far since the OT to me (I mean besides KOTOR and the Thrawn Trilogy). Empire is my favorite SW film and if Andor sticks the landing, it'll be right there and probably beat it on everything except like idk sentimental value of watching ESB with my mom a billion times LOL. Eh now that I'm writing that idk it's hard to beat Yoda on Dagobah, luminous beings are we, Vader and Luke on Bespin, etc. Hmm.

But it is different than the rest of SW tv at the least because it's not pulpy - and to some people the pulp is the point of SW although I can't relate, love some SW pulp but I don't need it. So I can understand people not vibing with it for their SW fix, but what about just like good fucking drama? Because it serves that.

Also there's this idea that Andor doesn't have the Force or SW-sy things. LOL you can interpret it that way but it's not conclusive. The focus on kyber and the Eye of Aldhani pointing Cassian in the direction to safety do give me Force-y vibes, idk. Not Jedi and not Sith, but the everyday connection to life and the galaxy that is so present in SW.

You have gone full Sith with your discovery of how to exploit New Horizon 🤣🤣 I love reading your Saga about your play though of it

*laughs*  I like to think I’m more of a Nightsister about it, rather than full Sith, I’m not breaking their code or anything, I’m doing things that are perfectly allowed within the way it’s coded/they’re aware that people can time travel and are okay with it (there are some things time travel won’t let you do, so they could stop it, if they wanted), but also I AM GOING TO EMBRACE THE DARK SIDE AND TIME TRAVEL EVERY DAY TO GET ALL THE GOODIES, I HAVE FIREPLACES AND KIDDY TENTS TO FIND AND ALSO CELESTE AND REDD ARE RARE ENOUGH THAT YOU BET I’M GOING TO MAKE IT EASIER FOR MYSELF.  >:D On a more serious note, I’ve put 365 hours into this game now (W H A T)(okay, fair enough, there were some weekends that I just LOST MYSELF to that game, especially when I was feeling kinda low and wanted something easy that still made me feel good), I’m helping friends out, I’m having fun, I’m praising it,  I’m just enjoying the game, it’s not like I cheated myself out of the experience.  Time travel made me play more because I could do more things more quickly, so I actually am really in favor of this, if anyone wants to play it this way.

MCU doesn’t get it. Sure, in the comics with a lot of growth shown between them, the death and resurrection of Vision upset Wanda and made her a bit fragile but that is not what caused her to lose it. It was merely one in a long list of things. Who I really blame beside family is Xavier. Erik brought his daughter to his friend to help but as we keep learning he doesn’t help. Look at Jean Grey, look at some of the stuff about Namor in the modern Invaders comic. Xavier was the final nail

exactly!! its not the final nail in the coffin for her and it really is ONE thing in a long list of things that happened to wanda which included racism and trauma from her childhood too n for mcu wanda its literally vision which is. JEBFJHASBDHJA

but anyways yeah absolutely xavier is to blame, not only for this but for everything, really. imagine if he was the person who put the idea of ‘no more mutants’ in her head just to villanize her i wouldnt even be surprised anymore

Sorry we in Michelle’s discord upset you when we talk about the utter bs that is what the MCU is now. Would def love an animated MCU, it’d be very easy to do especially with the What If show the MCU is doing

ASHDHFCJ it’s not even u guys it’s the mcu but i love talking to u guys about it i literally love that discord so much 😌 ALSO RIGHT!!! an animated universe would literally be amazing they could spend time actually caring about stories and characters and it could be so good but instead we have. well. the mcu ahdjfjsjdksk

Curious, sorry if this upsets you, were you ever a fan of Gargoyles? Just wondering as I know that was an early Greg Weisman show. Sorry if this is out of left field

i actually never watched and ari yelled about gargoyles for at least 10 minutes on legends in review because of it
