"20's are for regretting, 30's are for being dignified, and 40's... older than I ever wanna be"

It definitely wasn't RU2HED.

Not if they oust Nancy Mace first. Then it'll be tied.

I was gonna say the same. I thought this was AW2 initially.

The creators of those shows were often astonished by how much they'd managed to put the audience in their characters' corner. Walter White poisons a child, and people were still ride or die.

Nearly all of prestige TV's antiheroes rely on this cognitive bias.

Walter White, Tony Soprano, Don Draper, Vic Mackey, FUCKING DEXTER.

Those shows are often intensely focused on that character's biased POV, which creates understanding, which breeds empathy...for some genuinely heinous dudes.

I think people forget Luke is 23 at the end of Return of the Jedi. He's 53 in The Last Jedi. The idea that a 23-year-old would have the same mindset and philosophical perspective in his 50s is patently ridiculous.

Can confirm. He don't give a fuck.

Fair. I think if you grew up with the show it might have mnore pull. But I have to imagine most of those people also outgrew this show. I was 22 and my brothers were 17 and 11 when it came out. I don't think either if them is very excited about season 5. They're both to busy playing Persona games.

Yeah...but ngl if this was Andor season 5 coming out in 2031, I'd be gobbling it up like a fucking deragned gremlin.

I'm mildly curious, but I was fucking single and still living with my parents when this show started.

I'm married with two kids now, and my back hurts.
