Gonna skip all the news on WN3 now. Let the production people, casts & crews do their own thing. When the new season dropped, I'm gonna watch it.
Until then, I'm gonna continue enjoying Avatrice in fanfics (& read gossip on a certain Tumblr 🫢)

Between Minions 3 underperforming, Supergirl Flopping hard, Moana remake about to face plant, Mando and Grogu doing the worst performance for a SW film, and Masters of the Universe tanking hard, this has actually been a disastrous summer for the traditional Blockbusters.
If we had met Luke Skywalker in The Last Jedi as exactly the same person he was in Return of the Jedi—just with gray hair—it wouldn't have been heroic; it would have been stagnant. Thirty-five years changes everyone. To expect Luke to remain the optimistic youth forever is to treat him like an action figure rather than a human being.
What makes this version of Luke so compelling is how he embodies the film's central thesis: "The greatest teacher, failure is."
If you look closely, The Last Jedi is a symphony of failure. Poe fails to see the big picture and costs the fleet dearly. Finn and Rose fail their mission on Canto Bight. Rey fails to turn Kylo Ren back to the light. Even Snoke fails to foresee his own demise.
But Luke? By the end, he is the only one who truly succeeds.
He confronts his trauma, reconnects with the Force, and achieves exactly what he sets out to do on Crait: saving the Resistance and sparking the fire that will burn the First Order down. While everyone else struggles to learn from their mistakes, Luke masters his. He doesn't just return to the fight; he transcends it, proving that while failure is a teacher, a true Master knows how to graduate.
i’m sorry but i CANT be too woke for thinking that its kinda crazy to be a fan of stranger things after they filmed in a nazi prison in lithuania. or when one of the main cast members said zionism is sexy. i stopped giving af about the show after that WHY do ppl still tune in?!?
Taylor Swift released a sloppy album this time because she can't let a group of animated girl band have the win this year.

Expeditioners, a quick note on Stendhal and balance changes:
We hadn’t planned to make any balance changes this early—just bug fixes, unless something clearly stood out.
Well, Stendhal did.
It was underwhelming for most of development, so in our final pre-release balance pass, we gave it a big damage boost—and clearly overdid it. It ended up overshadowing most other options.
We still want you to be able to break the game—and you absolutely still can—but Stendhal was making it a bit too easy.
You’ve got one more day to enjoy it in its current form and set some wild records. The adjustment will be included in our first full hotfix set, going live tomorrow. The patch will roll out on Steam first, and other platforms will follow.
After the change, it’ll still be a strong single-hit skill with great synergy potential... just more in line with everything else.
