yup. both characters get wayyyy more interesting in their respective middle chapters.

the difference is that TFA thinks it's a character-driven story and fails that vision, while SW doesn't ever pretend to be about anything but the action. so rey being like this stands out more in context

good.

opened to comment this, ty for your contributions to humanity :)

largely correct but also i don't actually mind people overrating rogue one.

he probably tossed mine out based on zip code

the origin isn't on the curve that feels like cheating

been a while but my guess is because the noldor are (a lot) worse than the hobbit and lotr make them out to be, while the sindar are broadly the same

it mildly bugs me that we don't have an image of the clock in the shape of the accretion disk, but maybe that's the joke i can't tell

who was saying this??

what's the book called?

new zelda?

i almost got talked into finishing arcane last week and this pulled me back from the brink

yup. the follow-up that invites is "okay, so how do you get people to listen when you tell them the truth?"

so then attempts to explain why that's not happening invoke contextual factors to talk about susceptibility to misinformation. it's scary to think our only recourse might be "yell louder."

tár and drive my car probably

listening now, definitely a step up from to the usual fare but still not reallly my thing—appreciate the rec though

i have the opposite take where i normally can't stand kpop but golden is like. tolerable even i don't really enjoy it

can pa have better politicians please
