@uncle_june "They disrespected a proud Italian heritage, and named us after a ballet costume... Marissa?", "That's for modern, in ballet you wear tutus.", "It doesn't make a difference.", "You're right, it doesn't."
@CultureCrave@business That’s a shame. I think they could totally compete but they have to spend more if anything, and treat the whole enterprise more seriously. Get better casting, better writers, come up with genuinely innovative shows etc. Apple stands for quality, and they have to follow through.
@CultureCrave The exploration of feminine issues is what made season 1 so great. But they’re overcooking it, and reducing all the male characters to caricatures
@CultureCrave Episode 3 has been the only truly great episode so far. Episode 4 was good, but all hinged on the set piece at the end. The rest has been nowhere near the quality of season 1. They need to up the quality of the writing and slight toning down of the fem first themes IMO.
@AnthonySpina94 @LordSnow It’s a George R T Martin thing. He’s done the same thing with Elden Ring characters. I think it’s somewhat lifted from Tolkien eg “Aragorn, son of Arathorn” etc. and probably a function of Norse(?) naming not sure
@notcapnamerica While it is entertaining, the Democrats do themselves no favours by staging the argument at this guy's level. They need to engage with the best/most credible parts of the Republican agenda to make their case.
@zerochills You just don't walk out from a bus into blind traffic this way, regardless of where the crossing is. You either wait for the bus to leave, or you cross behind the bus where you can see the oncoming traffic. I learnt the hard way. Nearly got run over. Glad the kid seems to be okay
@CultureCrave Pull your fingers out @starwars. You have no excuse. Get all the writing on par with Andor. I don't care if you're making stuff for kids.
@LigthVader@LordSnow Right, but this is sort of what I’m getting at, they’re belabouring the point and taking way too much screen time to resolve this theme with this character IMO
