Quotes like “Anakin blew up the death star” and “The Jedi are gonna take some Ls” make me yearn for the days of “I may have gone too far in a few places” and “Jar Jar is the key to all of this”
At least George seemed to recognize he made some questionable decisions that might not pan out.
Pretty sure when he said “Jar Jar is the key to all this” he was referring to the fact that a fully CGI Motion Capture character which had never been done before, and which opened the door to a lot of special effects that have been used countlessly since, not just in Star Wars, but other movies as well.
And as for the “I may have gone too far in a few places,” I’ve said that about projects I’ve worked on and ended up getting it to work. I mean, in context, Lucas was reacting to the first rough cut of Phantom Menace. And you hear him reference scenes that aren’t in the final cut like “Anakin returning.” And everyone from Martin Scorsese to even Rian Johnson admit that the first cut is never good and will make the author feel sick.
Actively mocking the franchise you own and misremembering it = admitting your mistakes and storyboarding? Wow...
@@user-xx6vy9ri8p The point of the comment is that George’s are obviously preferable, not that they’re equivalent, you massive
@@ECKohnsThe point of the joke is that George’s quotes, while still silly, are infinitely preferable to Leslie and her casts. NOT that they are equally bad

I wish we still had GDELB at times, because I feel like the "We had tried using identical twins, but it was very difficult to tell them apart." would be perfect for that.
The real GDELB were the clips/memes we made along the way
Wait there is no more GDELB ? those were the funniest videos ever, mainly because all that nonsense was sadly quotes from real humans being with a supposedly functionning brain.
HE STOPPED GDELB? JUSTICE FOR GDELB!
What is or was GDELB?
@@Tacti_cat it was a parody of a video essay featuring all the real quotes from the most brain rotted individuals, released on april fools, it was pure nonsense concentrated but filled with actual sentence from previously covered efap, featuring such line as : "they were vietnamese, almost alien like, so different from us"
Hey there. I'm a writer for collider, and I just wanted to say that I'm as frustrated as these articles as you guys are. I'm only at the job because I don't have anything else at the moment and it lets me practice media journalism. It is crazy how many writers at Collider only care about how queer something is, to the point that they'll gang up on those who don't agree with their ideals. I got into trouble with some writers because I dared to not like movies like Nimona or Raya and the Last Dragon. A few of my articles have even gotten editorial notes because I "didn't have enough female characters" in them. Keep pushing against this kind of bullshit, EFAP!
You wrote an article that didn't have enough female characters in them?
Forgive me if I'm being stupid, but: what the fuck does that even mean?
It's an article, not a book. Was it that you didn't mention enough women from pop culture? Cause that's the only thing I can think of possibly being the problem.
Well I hope you're not planning on taking that practice with you into a mainstream journalism career. Such a thing no longer exists.
I'm sorry for you dude. It must suck to need to work for such a company that represents the lowest form of journalism. I hope the best for you!
I immediately believed you work for them when you had spelling errors in your first sentence.
Why didn't you like Nimona?
I have to thank EFAP for helping to build my self-esteem. I used to think I was bad at speaking, but seeing people like Leslye Headland fumble their way through interviews assures me that I have a leg up on people who apparently can convince executives to give them millions of dollars for projects.
You don't have dirt related to Epstein, you'll never be in that position.
Good for you... We need more to come to the light... To actually see the truth. Who is lying. And who is not.
It happens to everyone. At some point. We need more and more to stand up. And not be afraid TO SPEAK UP.. especially to those spitting lies and falsehoods
Leslye is like Larys; her career hinges on appearing harmless and convenient.
I am pretty certain you're just fine at speaking. if we're wise enough to think we're bad at doing something others do easily, we likely believe we're worse than we are. keep at it. record yourself doing it -- just audio, no video. listen back. repeat. it's a process, and you can learn how to speak good just like you can learn how to paint good. and write gooder.

When the question arises about how many episodes are needed to develop a character, I often remind the first scene of Raiders of the Lost Ark. In less than ten minutes, we have a complete picture of Indiana Jones's entire skillset and personality while masterfully weaves humor, tension, betrayal, and power dynamics, and even introduces the antagonist.
My favorite example of how efficient a good writer/director can be introducing a character and making her likeable is the first 2 minutes of Iria Zeiram: the Animation. A cult 90s anime (there are episodes on yt, you can look it up). In 2 minutes flat they introduce the main character, show her motivation, establish that she's competent, kind and held back because she lives in an unfair world, making her relatable and likeable before you can finish a sandwich! Star Wars couldn't do that to Rey in 3 movies.
Genndy Tartakovsky can greatly characterize entire arcs in 10 minutes with no dialogue. Master of visual storytelling. These people can't make a character in the first place.
The first episode of Frieren has you care for a character and kills them off in 24 minutes.
@@DaMaster012that must be a massive shirt
TF2's Meet the Teams are great as well for short-form characterization

On the point of Batman donating to prisons and the GCPD, there's actually dialogue in Arkham Asylum saying that Bruce Wayne donated the scanner at the entrance of the building in order to prevent villains like the Joker from smuggling weapons in.
There are also moments in the comics that make mention of what Bruce tries to do for the city. At the beginning of The Court of Owls, he's invested and oversaw the creation of new skyscrapers for the purposes of creating new jobs and allowing for cheaper office space via more supply. I don't think there ever has been a time where Batman on the out of costume side hasn't been trying to help.
@@ZerogunRivale There's even a scene in one comic where Batman defeats Black Mask by playing a video of Bruce Wayne guaranteeing all of Black Mask's goons a job at Wayne Enterprises if they simply leave right then and there. All the goons walk out and Black Mask is defeated without Batman having to throw a single punch.
But according to Eric Kripke, he just beats up poor people so he can incarcerate them for money.
@@HaythamKenway383Do you think he really thinks that of Batman?
@@MegaSpideymanI mean, that's literally what he says in the interview, so it's pretty fair to assume that he thinks that.
I believe in Arkham Knight, the Isolation Pod that houses Poison Ivy (and eventually Man-Bat) has “Wayne Industries” or something on it. Pretty nice thing to have donated for the Force.
Seduce.
Latin. French. "Se" - apart, as in "se-cession, se-parate, se-gregate". "Duce" - to lead, as in "in-duce, re-duce, de-duce".
Literally means "to lead someone astray from their path/duty".
The sexualised use of the word is effectively a metaphor, flowery use which plays upon the idea of marriage or fidelity to one's partner being a duty (i.e. "the duty of marriage"). There's nothing inherently sexual about "seduce", demonstrated by Mauler correctly phrasing his point as "sexually seduced".
Lucas wrote clunky, almost antiquated dialogue. It's just his style and the Star Wars movies are both famous and infamous for it. Things like "delusions of grandeur" and "I have a bad feeling about this" added to the charm of the OT and prequels, also providing them with stylistic consistency.
When Obi-Wan and Yoda mention "seduction", as written by Lucas in his usual clunky style, they are employing the term literally. Anakin was led astray from his path/duty as a Jedi by the Dark Side of the Force. Overall, the Dark Side is "quicker, easier, more seductive." There is NO intended sexual implication in those uses of the term.
The LEAD WRITER on a Disney Star Wars show did not understand this very basic and simple point. She heard "seduce" as a child, thought it was weird, then as an adult "learned what the word meant", and so incorporated that "knowledge" into episode 6 of the Acolyte. All the while, never grasping that in fact she has NOT learned what "seduce" actually means, and nobody else involved in the Acolyte corrected her.
This is as bad as people saying Sam's "He's a villain!" line in LOTR is too literal, due to not grasping that the word "villain" does not simply mean "bad guy in a movie" or "supervillain", etc. Except in the case of "seduce", we're talking about the actual writer of the show. To say she should know better is a monumental understatement. This is truly horrific, like finding out the writer of a Star Wars show doesn't even know what a real-world sabre is.
On a related note - Headland thinks it's weird to use the term "human" in Star Wars because everyone in the franchise is from a galaxy far, far away. She simply is not aware (plus nobody told her) that the specific term "human being" is explicitly used in Star Wars multiple times (usually by C3P0, e.g. "Sometimes I just don't understand human behaviour"). She just doesn't know this is the case, strongly indicating that she has never actually watched the OT.
Unbelievable.
Brilliant write-up!
Bold of you to assume Headland doesn't know the difference between the literal definition of seduce, and the colloquial use of it.
You have *NO* proof that this was not in fact, her vision. That she wanted a strong, lesbian of color to abandon her morals and sexual identity to the murderous psychopath who stabbed her would-be girlfriend not even a day before hand!
I for one, choose to believe in women, and in the competence and ability of Leslie Headland! She *absolutely* meant for this story to play out exactly as it has!
No no, you shan't convince me otherwise! I am set in this belief!
Unless... you were to take your shirt off... and murder like, I dunno, six or seven people including my significant other right in front of me then kidnap me and show me your ding-a-ling...
Counterpoint: Believable
seJuiced
yeah but what about sith cock, the colours and giants moths? seems to me like your just being a bigot and hate females. Joke aside, now i know why i didn't understand headlamp talking about the "seduction". thanks
The big moment for me this episode is when they're reading the Boys interview and the writer says "Be careful what you wish for." I mean, you are just flat-out admitting you shouldn't be trusted working with the IP at this point.
That, and even more, the way that both Leslye and the guy behind The Boys said almost identical "We simply HAD to do it, how could we not" to doing creepy weird degenerate stuff. Like Leslye HAD to make the antagonist a thirst trap for nonbinary protagonist and the few girls who call themselves "Disney Star Wars fans", and The Boys simply HAD to have the main character be sexually assaulted and demeaned in a disgusting setup because, well, they HAD to teehee xD!!! It was funny!!!!!!!!!!
What is wrong with these people?
I mean, I wouldn't trust 180 million dollars to a person who describes the plot of the project with “The Jedi are gonna take some Ls”. That's super infantile, like the showrunner sounds like a person that's jokingly telling the story and not like somebody that takes care about the craft of storytelling you know.
I feel really bad for the actor. He seems like a cool guy who just wants to do something entertaining
@@HerohammerStudios That's how the vast majority of us feel about basically all the actors and actresses in these things. Like lets be real, did Carrie-Anne Moss and Lee Jung-Jae hope their characters would die off stupidly and be a bumbling idiot respectively? Did Rosario Dawson, who was SUPER hyped up wanting to play live action Ahsoka long before the show was even planned, hope her character would be a tired, worn out, meandering, slow idiot who barely does anything in the entire season? There's no way these actors, especially lesser known ones like all these supporting cast in The Acolyte for example, despite what they say in their mandatory Disney press junkets, actually wanted to play bumbling idiots who accomplish nothing then just die to discount Ezra Miller.
We all know it's not their fault.
@thehoerscorral8565 Even Amandla, who has acted with the same face and two emotions (angry and passive) despite playing two characters, is working with some really bad writing, dialogue and direction. I'm not really familiar with her body of work, but despite her annoying personality I wouldn't assume she's a bad actress just because she's bad in this trash.
Headland: I feel sorry for the young twins we hired for a Star Wars project.
Me: You brought them here.

Whenever someone claims that stupid fucking shit about Batman being a "fascist punching poor people", I'm immediately and thankfully reminded of a comic page where Bats plays a recording of himself as Bruce Wayne to a bunch of Black Mask's thugs, promising them all jobs and financial security at Wayne Industries, if they just leave. And they do.
I think of the scene where he comforts a dying child with unstable psychic powers. Batman might be a vengeful persona, Bruce is a compassionate man.
@@MediumRareOpinions Batman is a symbol that Burce Wayne, the man, dons.
Too many (seemingly literal) fart huffing dipshits forget that. The question is, do they do it because they are blinded by cynicism, or because they're fully immersed in an ideological swamp. Or both.

I'm reminded of the issue child Bruce visits Crime Alley and runs afoul of the Demonz gang and is saved by a homeless woman. Batman is a knight and all the people in Gotham fall under his protection.

"What am I doing to these young women?"
- Harvey Weinstein's former Personal Assistant everyone.
The part about the identical twins is mindboggeling. Didn't cast them cause she couldn't tell them apart. And then says it's fine when an adult actor plays two parts, because they can do that. But not the kids ? But the kids don't play TWO characters you re****d. They play one each , and it's YOUR job to direct them. YOU KNOW, so they' ACT different.
The adult actress in this show can’t even play one character much less two. I’ll give the child actors a lot of leeway but not Amandla Stenberg.
2:23:25 Hayden Christianson said when they filmed that youngling scene he yelled Boo at them that’s why the kid was startled at him not the saber lighting up

Captain Marvel killed the "Anticipation Score". That is hilarious. 😂
4:09:20 I sent this superchat, so I decided to look into things a bit. Jecki is 18 in the show, and her species (she is technically a Theelian-human hybrid) lives to about 70, so she would be "of age" all things considered. But it's still weird that Osha asks her out for drinks and Sol calls her a child in the same show. Sol calling Jecki a child would make sense for his character, but Leslye also calling her a child is very strange. And she doesn't just call her a child once, shd harps on that point a lot. Either she is a child and it's weird that Osha asked her out, or she isn't and it's weird she's calling her a child. But then again, I expect nothing less from Weinstein's former assistant
In fairness, the show has already demonstrated that not only is chronological age is something they're willing to twist, but, the nature of the lore of species. Given Leslye's desire to "give X-23 with a lightsaber" I can imagine she viewed the character as a child, as X-23 in her appearance in Logan *is* a child. It is very likely the script and interviews refer to her as a child, because the intial intent of the story was that she was intended to be a child (not necessarily like a small child IE: X-23, I imagine they were aiming for a teenager), but realized when they wanted to suggest a romance with a character in her early-mid twenties, they did what many Japanese studios do when translating character ages to western audiences and slapped the *lowest* "legal" age they could onto her for official documentation. It's how you end up with pokemon character who are aged "13-20" in their wiki entries, as an example.
Which is to say, in fairness to the assertion Headland is a disgusting paederist who wanted a child to be romanced by an adult -- not to Leslye herself.
I'm reminded of the ancient slogan of a long gone internet artist...
_"All characters are over the age of 18, even if stated otherwise"_
- *Shadman*
I'm still stuck on what the f they were thinking with the hair, also how lame and unimaginative the "aliens" that are just humans with some makeup and weird hair (or lack there of in the case of the green lady) look, the only worthwhile aliens are ones that don't look like humans who put on makeup from a halloween store. Also the girl who plays jecki is pretty but you would'nt be able to tell from how they made her look in this show lol
Or constantly calling those 10 year-olds 'young women'. She definitely has a fucking graveyard in her closet
To use "-coded" correctly for once, Jecki is absolutely child-coded. They cast a young-looking actor in childish colors and styling, who acts like a sassy kid play-arguing with her chill dad.
She isn't technically a kid, but she has all the appeal of one.
If it was a guy writing it, they would be side-eyeing him the same way loli artists get side-eyed for "100-year-old kid" characters
@@samwallaceart288 just checking, you're not saying people who think the actress is pretty are weird, you're saying the writers are weird for how they wrote her like a child? If you look at the actress she is like 20 and fully grown

Brutal burn.
Leslye Headland answers interview questions with the mindset of not thinking about and answering the question, but how to just get past it and move on.
"What was the process behind the decision to cast twins in your show?"
"Ahh, yeah, so... With twins, you kinda have this... two people thing going on, a sort of... what do you call it... like a yin and yang thing between the two, so there's that sort of connection that we've never seen in Star Wars before. It's really interesting and unique to have... one on the light side and one on the dark side, it's a very... it's a very human story to tell, yeah."

I've only read a few Batman comics and hearing that man describe how he views Batman just makes me think "How could you come away with this view?" He sounds worse than Snyder.
@Rotom0479my man criticism of him is more so about the setting, because i can't believe there is no death penalty for people like joker. But that is more of a comic issue than a Batman issue specifically.
@@zacharybreen8891 There are laws that prevents the execution of "mentally impaired" convicts.
@Rotom0479We see this often enough I've seen a couple of episodes of the animated series where he does host charities and stuff as Bruce. Even in comics and such.
It's weird because many of these same people will suggest that Bruce Wayne is Batman's disguise.
Like... so you're telling me that Batman, a fascist, is disguising himself as a wealthy billionaire fascist? That's his big brain play?
Like, let's assume Bats is a fashy. He wants to beat up the poors and make a police state where he can go around and curbstomp minorities and people who bad mouth the rich and powerful. Let's say that's true.
You're telling me, to hide this from people, he, as Bruce Wayne, financially supports those things? And yet, the cops are *STILL* powerless to oppress the people?
The idea of Batman being a fascist isn't a bad one. Exploring a Batman who, through Bruce Wayne, utilizes his wealth and status to *keep* people in poverty *expressly* so he can get the catharsis of beating on the underprivileged and downtrodden, all the while using his charisma and generous donations to political figures and law enforcement to ensure nobody can properly investigate this is an interesting angle to take a more villainous batman. I don't think anyone would be opposed to that.
But that would require understanding HOW a conspiracy of that caliber works, and I don't think anyone writing these characters wants to explore how a billionaire could create a myriad of "charities" that effectively serve as terror groups, which in turn drive a more militant and less restrained response from law-enforcement which in turn drives up social unrest which in turn drives up acts of crime which in turn drives up crime rate which in turn drives up the price of business and lowers the price of property which in turn creates more poverty as the wealthy buy property, and the poor are forced to submit to landowners demands if they dont want to be homeless which in turn drives people into desperation and destitution, which in turn drives people to join gangs who are, covertly, funded by the billionaire, who is also funding the police, and in this case, is also funding his own personal arsenal with which to beat the shit out of people with.
Because that'd require a lot of effort to pull off, and it's much much easier to just say "lol he's rich? Like, why doesnt he just like, buy all the crime away??? Lmao he just WANTS to beat up people lol otherwise he'd just do the things to stop crime forever lol".
@Rotom0479 how is he anything like a bat? Just the ears standing up on his mask, he is just a man, he can be shot on the part of his mask where his mouth is, at least with Spider-Man he was bitten by an actual powerful Spider and gained super powers .

Hearing about The Boys handling the abuse of Starlight with such gravity and Hughie's so flippantly reminded me of The Wheel of Time. There are several times in the books it's alluded to that a woman was abused and it was always handled seriously. Mat Cauthon is kept prisoner by a queen who uses her servants to stalk him and tie him up and assault him and it's clearly intended to be humorous. When it finally comes to light Elaine and Nynaeve think it's hilarious and his just desserts because he likes flirting with barmaids. It's always a laugh when men are abused.
That's disappointing. I have a few Wheel of Time books, so that's discouraging.
I do kind of hate that stretch of the book. I empathise with Mats frustration and anger when no one takes him seriously. It makes both him and other characters look worse. And I feel like it was a contrivance to keep him at a convenient arms reach in Ebou Dar instead of having him do far more interesting things elsewhere.
It's just women revealing their utter hatred for men to the point of dehumanization.
Nynaeve did take it seriously and wanted to stop it, Mat told her not to step in because he was embarrassed. Mat wasn't necessarily against it either and comes to care for Tylin, he just likes to be the one doing the chasing.
"Because he likes flirting with barmaids." That is the dumbest thing to get "comeuppance" for. That writer is a psycho.

Man, I missed on that initial segment describing The Boys and Kripke's moronic response to a very fitting question. Whenever I hear the words "Batman" and "fascist" in the same affirmative sentence I just zone out. Like okay, your discourse is the same copy-pasted nonsense from people that have never touched a Batman comic book in their lives, or did with maybe one or two of them and formed the same stupid idea that tells you way more about those same individuals and their single braincell than It does about the character or the book itself.
Why would people actually think he's in any way that?
@@MegaSpideyman I´m not kidding when I say that that is the most sane question anybody could ask. This is probably gonna be a somewhat long answer, the reason why is because I don´t want to limit the answer to what´s probably the most surface level "argument" being made from people who actually think Batman is a fascist, which is...Because he´s rich and white, as sad as it is, that´s pretty much the extent of it, if those two things are present in a character like him, there´s people who will instantly jump to that very stupid, non-sequitur esque, conclusion. As you can see, there´s zero logic to this, but we´ll get back to it.
The longer, relatively more obscure answer is that to some extent, it stems from personal views of some comic book writers in regards to the superhero genre, writers that (or at least the ones I´ll mention as examples), have earned a name and a position within the industry, some of them include Garth Ennis (who wrote The Boys comics) or Alan Moore himself. Especially in the case of Moore and as great as his most known works are, he has a well-known disdain towards the concept of superheroes as we understand it, and if memory serves, considers it to be fascist in nature.
The thing is, people that are too politically driven like he is are often times not very good at making logical, sensical arguments, they are very good at making political arguments, claims and/or statements, that´s how they look at things. However, politics does not require of logic in order to be able to work, which makes it easier for it to reach people´s minds and/or feelings. In addition to that and especially when it comes to authors like him, there´s always some level of appeal to authority involved, or "an incredibly accomplished writer said this is true, therefore it must be", and yet again, there´s zero logic to it.
@@MegaSpideymanseveral reasons (none founded or make sense). He's white, rich, cares about people, sets up charities, straight, likeable and charismatic, fights criminals. These reasons are just a few why they hate him, either jealousy, racism, misandry, or they like/pretend to like communism and hate capitalism/democracy or that he's a better character than most if not all the ones they either like or create. He's a popular character so of course they try to bring him down, or mould him into their icon of whatever. It's why they're so desperate to either replace him with something else or turn him into their preferred vision (one comic tried to turn him gay despite having more girlfriends than Mauler has had guests). It's the same for loads of characters, from Superman to Captain America, Iron Man to Flash. Even female character aren't exempt from that. They get distorted from being attractive and beautiful with character of their own to frumpy, ugly, toxic lesbians who get what they want and hate men (Batwoman is a famous example of this)
It just doesn’t work as an analysis; most of Batman’s villains are insane (which one could totally analyze to be problematic) or completely ideologically driven. The Riddler, Mr Freeze, Poison Ivy, Azrael at times, Ras Al Ghul are all have a belief system that conflict with Batman, not just empty pockets
@@SkepticalBucketman
It's also important mention Frank Miller, who has been instrumental in perpetuating the idea super heroes are facists, by interpreting a lot of super heroes *AS* facists, unironically and nearly explicitly, while having plenty of *unflattering* interviews that read like a man trying to tell you why he thinks Funny Mustache Man may have had a point...
So, when you have writers of comics who are critical of comics calling super heroes fascists, and writers of comics who sound like they're fascists writing super heroes as fascists, and a popular trend in media to "deconstruct" heroes by presenting them *as* fascists; you get a popular sentiment among media "tourists" that superheroes are fascists, or, more likely to be fascists than they are not.
Even people who fall outside of that niche lean into it. Nolan's Dark Knight has a scene where Batman creates a surveillance state and, if taken totally alone in that context, that's a very fashy thing to do (nevermind he gives that power to the man he trusted more than himself with it and told him explicitly to destroy it once they no long needed it, which they did). But you've even got Rocksteady's Arkham-verse which presents a Batman who becomes progressively more militant in both his design and modus, to the point where he (canonically) uses fear gas on the populace to appear as a horrific demonized version of himself just to maintain the potency of "The Batman" after he's unmasked as Bruce Wayne.
It's a *fine* line for the average consumer, because their exposure to fascism is police states, military goonsquads, and the underprivileged and defiant being brutalized by those wielding these things either directly or indirectly -- it is very easy for a person to see Batman riding around in a metal suit, beating on some thugs just trying to earn a living, then running their car over with his huge tank-mobile before feeding them to the police as a "fascist" thing to do, doubly so, when some would view our real world police as none-too-dissimilar to a nescient fascist tool.
It can be very hard for people to accept fiction on the grounds of fiction, entirely divorced from reality. It can be hard for people to see the GCPD as *fictional* cops and that they don't go around gunning down people all because an acorn fell on them, because that's a failing of REAL cops, NOT the fake cops.
It's not a failing on them that's *entirely* their fault, as the understanding of what fascism is has declined *unilaterally* across the major markets for western comics (namely the USA) but, it is none the less really disappointing people don't engage with fiction as a fiction free of their preconceptions about institutions in real life.
Tldr: I wish people (consumer and producer alike) would leave their politics at the door when they engage with comics. It'd really help prevent these gross misconceptions about Bruce Wayne from ever starting.

I always find it hilarious when people say that "Conservatives" (meaning non progressives) liked the boys season 1 because they identified with Homelander. Homelander has been a complete and unredeemable psychopath from episode 1, he's fun to watch as a villain, but nobody really identifies with him.
Season 1 the Boys was a pretty decent criticism of Corporate overreach, not only overtly with the "Girls Get it Done!" type jabs at Disney/Marvel and DC, but also with the idea of the Superheroes themselves being a metaphor for Corporations. Those all powerful entities that can step on you at any moment with no repercussion, they destroy people lives, kill and and abuse them, etc, and The Boys being normal working class victims joining to fight back. Then after season 2 non-progressives agreeing with them spooked the creators and they went heavy on criticizing any right wing ideas way more severely until we get to now where Homelander is basically just another Trump caricature. Very creative. 🙄
I mean, the anti-corporate veneer is literally just an attempt at gaslighting people that corporations are "untouchable," meanwhile the government is ACTUALLY the untouchable entity.
Everything Leftists do is projection.

I'm disappointed the Headland interview didn't involve an eating contest. Two strong competitors there.
5:08:00 This part still blows my mind, not knowing what Seduce means when first watching the movie (Understandable), learning it's meaning (Great!) and then being confused at how(/the phrasing?) Anakin was seduced to the dark side and so you end up thinking it was sexual (..Wut?).
It's...a take I never thought to actually hear.
There's a lot of anti-batman memes where they joke about him being a trust fund brat who beats up petty criminals who shoplift so they can eat. Obviously there's exaggeration in satire but I've never seen him characterized anywhere near like this. I don't have an encyclopedic knowledge of Batman but usually he's depicted stopping violent criminals from physically hurting innocents or taking down rich crime lords. And he (almost) never kills! That's way better than the police usually do.
I never see these complaints about other superheroes. Is it because he's rich? It's because he's rich, isn't it?
Those anti-Batman memes show what kind of moral depravity we're looking at. Batman's a "trust fund brat" becuase his parents died, as you said he doesn't beat up petty criminals, and no one shoplifts "so they can eat." Degenerates impose their screwed up worldview onto Batman and then wonder why normal people aren't receptive to it.
And because he's white, just ask G4Tv
This makes me think of what Plank did to our lord and savior the Don. These people have the most disproportionate response to anything. Smilo just wanted to be left alone so it's justified to them that he killed all these people because he is the "counter culture".
Normally I would want to be charitable and say she's explaining, not condoning. What I'm realizing this time is that Leslye surely thinks of hereself and her comrades as counter culture if for no reason other than gender identity and sexual orientation. I don't think I can devil's advocate my way out of this one.
@@David_the_PsalmistI think you're right, and it's telling what kind of fiction she chooses to write

Why does everything need to be hyper sexualized these days
SoCal is infested with people with 0 boundaries. They run on lizard-brain impulses, and that's the main one.
Hyper sexualization leads to unhealthy relationships between men and women.
Unhealthy relationships between men and women result in fewer marriages that are less stable.
Fewer and less stable marriages destroys the nuclear family as a real world phenomenon.
This performs two functions:
1. Depopulation (to satiate the environmental lunatics who belive we're killing Gaia)
2. Eliminates generation-to-generation knowledge and wealth transfer at a private level (to satiate the lunatics who believed Marx and Engels weren't lyssencephalics).
Those two group's circles overlap almost entirely and onto one political "side's" position.
it is what the owners want. it is in their culture. this is such a sick culture that God made them rules like "you shall not kill" and "you shall not steal". These values that normal cultures understand without God. The censored people are insane thanks to 5000 years of inbreeding.
because traditional morals are evil. This is healthy. Everyone agrees.

@@DuneStone6816 My theory as to why this is happening is that after years of mistreating creators they’ve run out of potential hires and are forced to rely on themselves, entirely unqualified people and people who just don’t care and realize that Disney won’t say no regardless of the quality of the script.

But the Acolyte story doesn't make any sense logically. Which is the LEAST you should be asking from any story.
The Boys discussion is just funny as I think of how often the OG comic does better than the show, despite people constantly trying to say that it's complete trash.
In regards to Tekknight, yeah the whole thing begins and ends with the old "joke" of, "Heh, Batman and Robin are totally gay for each other, yeah?" But there's more in it than just that. As much of the comic is a a parody/critique of celebrity culture, it gets into how two-faced these people are with support and representation, making the Robin character homophobic despite constantly being seen as an icon for Gays.
Or the other heroes being backstabbing opportunists as they cut ties with Tekknight as he goes through his "penetration issue,". Even a bit of development for Hughie as he starts getting over his own hangups regarding gay people.
Sure, the comic has more edge than Shadow sharpening knives, but it's still pretty good in places so long as you go into with that in mind. Especially with the show collapsing in itself to become the very thing the comic would've made fun of if the "woke agenda" was more of a thing at the time.

I think she catastrophically misunderstood anakin's relationship with padme. TBF--the prequels dont do this great justice but it isnt that anakin loves padme more than himself and to the detriment of all else but that anakin loved his relationship with padme more than all else (including more than he actually loved and cared for padme) to the point that he would do anything to preserve his relationship with padme even if it means betraying everything padme would want. He is unwilling to accept that he will lose her and because of that, is turned to the dark side. His love for her is selfish. Something later foiled against luke's appeal to him where he ultimately does sacrifice himself for Luke and is redeemed.

1:11:23 My response to the franchise dying would be like the priest and the town people's response in Wallace and Gromit: Curse of the Wererabbit. 'Allow me to share in your moment of sorrow... YAAAAAY!!!'
Up until now I thought it was just a dumb joke but after watching this and seeing how disconnected she is from human emotions and how skewed her morals are when explaining Smilo Ren, I have no problem believing she was involved in Harvey's bullshit.
Yeah, I the benefit of doubt but, the more I hear her talk in this and other interviews, the more I think "Is she self reporting?"
on "review bombs" vs the prequels.
Episode 1, most of the negative attention was on Jar Jar Binks being "problematic" and a "racist stereotype", generally from within hollywood, which caused Lucas to remove Jar Jar from his plans for the rest of the trilogy (almost completely). Jake loid was razzed by some for sure, but like, generally people were quite happy with the movie.
Episode 2, obviously the attention was on the Padme / Anakin scenes being rough, and the cringe comedy with C-3P0. the film had more serious issues natch, but people weren't too harsh on it, at first. i loved it when i watched it in theaters. when i rewatched it on DVD, the anakin / padme scenes hurt to watch, but first watch was still good.
Episode 3, as far as i remember was purely positive. like, some complaints about Greevious and Dooku being jobbers, but everyone seemed to like the film a bunch.
later the memes set in and people collectively shit on the prequels, but at the time i remember them being quite positively recevied.
A lot of the discourse, especially for Jar Jar and Lloyd, was spurred on by the Access Media. So when they go on about attacks and stuff by reciting this crap they only have themselves to blame. They even revealed both their addresses which is criminal.
There's an anime called Go Go Loser Ranger that I'd argue did this same premise way better than the boys, the main character is weak as hell but he can shapeshift and he's immortal.
For reasons he wants to destroy the dragon keepers who are basically power Rangers with twisted mindset, at least in that show the MC disguised himself as a human, tried to get close to the Rangers and find out their weaknesses ultimately to kill them. The boys at this point is let's run around a circle. I expected this show to come to an abrupt violent end once homelander finds out who the boys were and he just actively starts hunting them. This could've been so good but now it's like homelander is a super powerful clown.
I just watched season 1 of that anime……….i really like the perspective and the direction, so thank you for pointing it out.
I’m thinking as it goes along they may drop the ball with the morality they’re juggling with, but for what I’ve seen, it’s a very cool series
@TheKpa11 Yup I've seen enough overpowered MCs and Loser Ranger was a nice addition this season seeing someone who tries to think to overcome obstacles. We've been renewed for a season 2 so I'm really looking forward to seeing how it goes.
I really enjoyed it and I hope it gains a little more traction since it's a hidden gem, especially with the fluidity of the animation. There's scenes that blend together so smoothly and I'm actually rooting for Fighter D.
It's funny to watch LH put thought into this story and these characters for the first time during this interview.
Jacen and Jaina Solo, the real children of Han and Leia, and Arcann and Thexan are literally the only other twins I can think of besides Luke and Leia
Yup
I like Jedi Brooks, seems like a great guy, but he needs to talk less sometimes. Dudes a rambler. He also slightly sucks Mauler off sometimes but whatever.
Episode 7 Sol is going to cast his mind back 16 years and tell the story of what happened that fateful night.
Oh for Heavens sake Rags get your Phrik on.
