Seeing these posters side-by-side really puts into perspective how heartbreaking Revenge of the Sith is and how uplifting Return of the Jedi is.
Where one film ends in fire and tragedy, the other ends in nature and redemption. It’s like poetry, it rhymes.
If the number of Dalmatians purchased after 101 Dalmatians and clownfish purchased after Finding Nemo is any indication, the fact that Scooby doesn’t have docked ears is SO important, you guys.
He’s beautiful, and I hope they just let him have his natural ears.
It's rare for imagery this iconic to emerge organically.
It's just a still taken from the body cam of Henry's murder and yet it is so poetic in its composition.
The pale white flesh of Henry's hand, visibly depleted of blood as he is moments away from death, is both contrasted against his dark clothing and illuminated by the rays of the flashlight such that the image takes on the characteristics of a renaissance painting.
Henry's hand is curled into something like fist. It naturally draws comparisons to Black Lives Matter and the "Black Power" Fist iconography, Henry's dying paleness evoking "White Power," the boogeyman we have destroyed our societies attempting to stymie.
But there is no "White Power." Henry is dying. The fist is literally shackled, constrained, and drained of life. It is being "attacked" by the begloved hands, artificial, latex, inhuman, contorted into the shape of a predatory claw. These are literally the arms of the state. The "Systemic Organism." Our ultimate tyrant.
These are not the hands of the individual officers to whom they actually belong, but rather the hands of a system, a meta-organism. Hands following orders that did not come from the minds of the human individuals but rather the Systemic Egregore. Hands operating under explicit instructions to elevate testimony that claims "racism" and to treat all Whites with suspicion as avatars of that "ultimate evil" against which the system has oriented itself.
Except Henry was not evil. He was a victim of this inhuman system. This grotesquely maligned system embodied and visible in the grotesque blue claw clasping him and holding him down as he dies. The system that shackles the dying White "Power."
Henry is Britain. He is the West. We are all dying. We are all bleeding to death shackled by the inhuman systems we live under. And if we continue to be shackled by these systems, we will, like Henry, die.
The total repudiation of these governments are necessary to make any change. Incremental improvements are entirely insufficient. The time to be ungovernable is now.
Regime change is necessary. Remigration is necessary. The mass rejection of the status quo and its systems is necessary.
Revolution is necessary.
there should be two dozen surviving Jedi of Order 66 at most and they should all be dead by a decade before ANH. Darth Vader should be the only one hunting them down and killing them. Inquisitors shouldn’t exist.
Everyone is always rooting for you. Your parents want you to be a great son. Wife wants you to be a great husband. Your boss wants you to be a slam dunk hire. Every first date you’ve ever been on they’ve been rooting for you to get laid. Every time you started to tell a joke people hoped it would have a hilarious punch line. Your proximity to anyone is a reflection of themself, meaning the deck is never stacked against you, and your failures are completely your own
I don't care what anyone says. This was out of character for Homelander, even for someone as insecure as him.
It would've made much more sense for him to fall into a fit of rage, like Anakin at the end of RotS. Not a baby offering to eat poop.
I will die on this hill.
People forget how The Mandalorian started with Werner Herzog.
Yes, it was a fun space western.
But there was a real philosophical struggle being explored too.
This speech should have been the core of the sequel stories.
Rebellion is easy. Can you build something better?
I've seen this posted a few times but it's worth sharing again. Even though George obviously didn't plan it this way from the beginning I really do love that the last thing Ben sees before he lets Vader strike him down are the twins reunited for the first time since their birth.
Did they even bother to radio for an ambulance, or were they too concerned about the alleged racial abuse?
They cuffed a dying (murdered) man for the good of diversity.
We’re through the looking glass now people.
A White male was hunted down and stabbed by a foreigner, but the police handcuffed him and left him to bleed out and die because the Indian cried "racism".
