@soncharm Sounds like this personal hang up about the perceived masculinity of the character is blinding you to the fact that “kin” is absolute nonsense
There’s a lot of wild stuff in here but the most baffling to me is insisting that Anakin’s nickname be “Kin” instead of “Ani”. How is that any less stupid lol
-Narrative should pick up with Anakin at 18 or 19, not 8 or 9.
-He’s really Owen’s brother
-he’s not a ‘slave’ they’re just a simple moisture farm family
-No ‘immaculate conception’ nonsense
-No ‘chosen one’ ‘prophecy’
-he’s just a hotshot boonie pilot kid who dreams of making it, joins up as a Republic pilot, then when he gets to Coruscant or whatever more central planet starts to learn the Force/Jedi stuff, rises quickly
-The Jedi are shown as functional, noble, and martial. They don’t just do ambassador stuff about trade disputes. They’re knights. They don’t all wear desert robes!
-Darth Vader is a different guy, same age. A Jedi. Obi-Wan’s trainee. ‘Darth’ isn’t a title that’s his name. (I know, I’m fixing Eps 5/6 now)
-The whole reason Anakin (“Kin” for short, they call him, not “Ani”) leaves Tattooine is he’s an idealist (like we were told!), who wants to fight the
-clone threat! The clones/cloners are the bad guys of course (not cartoon proto-stormtroopers fighting alongside Jedi). The ‘clone wars’ were something like a Butlerian Jihad against cloning tech, which the Big Baddie was leveraging to take over planets.
Ok sorry now I’m changing stuff about Episode II. Well I could keep going, I got a lotta changes
NYT: Chris Ewing, 68, a staunch Republican in San Antonio who said he was torn between the two candidates for U.S. Senate. “Paxton was endorsed by Trump, but Paxton is also immoral,” he said.
“I didn’t want to vote for Cornyn, but I did, because he was more righteous.”
#TexasSenate
I think the criticism of his era is louder because the tired old thing of ‘Capaldi was good the writing was bad’ ‘Whittaker was good the writing was bad’ just doesn’t apply to such a tonally bizarre performance from Gatwa that only served to expose such poor writing more plainly
exclusively engaging with franchise fiction gives you a totally broken understanding of what good storytelling looks like, you learn to value all the wrong things the most
mamdani is able to do this because of collaboration with normie dem governor hochul. because he cares more about coalition building than internet owning of the libs
“isn't Wish World/The Reality War a genuinely amazing finale? 😍”
I’m sorry but no, this is probably the worst finale the show has ever had. Like Doctor Who’s future has never been more bleak after this…
BREAKING: New polling shows Sherrod Brown leading his Republican opponent by 2 points in Ohio. This race could determine the Senate majority. Retweet to make sure every Ohioan knows to vote for Brown in November.
BREAKING: Republicans caved to Democrats, finally passing a bill to end the DHS shutdown without additional funding for ICE.
Democrats have been clear since the start: No blank check for ICE.
This bill now heads to Trump's desk.
@AdamMoo41098451@vitytradez@BSannnta@cringe_lizzie Yeah but that’s just like a different thought entirely, right? How do you translate any information from that hypothetical to this one when they’re asking for totally different things
