So… “Who Wants to Live Forever”?

There’s tons of new IP. It’s just lots of people like sequels and reboots, so you’re going to get a bunch of them as well.

So basically the only thing they care about is winning, not actually representing peoples values?

Theyre more than just an election committee, thats what the DCCC is for.

You wouldn’t get social pressures as a kid? It definitely speaks a lot to an adults sensibility of stress and anxiety, but it’s not like kids never struggle to fit in. Especially when there are major changes in their lives.

Maybe it’s less people clamoring for it and more just people enjoying a good movie?

There’s also a reason most of those militant groups end up with authoritarian leadership… because that capitalist class is usually bankrolling them.

and grouping with people when I decide to be social.

They literally told you.

It doesn’t have to be all one or the other.

These days? They’ve always been like that. It just used to be worse.

“MMOs don’t force people to group together to do things anymore, which means it’s harder for me to make friends”

There are more tools than ever to find community online, much less in cooperative games. Just because people don’t feel forced to play with you doesn’t mean you can’t find people who want to play with you.

Who knew maintaining a genocide was so cheap!

And I think it’s pretty clear I’m not. And it seems pretty clear the OP wasn’t either.

So… are you just stating random things for the fuck of it, or did you have an actual reason for bringing up a non-sequitur?

They didn’t write the title.

They… they did?

Aren’t healthcare costs higher because their last years are so much worse? It’s not like you just drop dead right after your healthiest years, you decline gradually and expensively.

It is what we make of it.

His one mistake was that he didn’t realize that a weird clone of a guy that died years ago was going to manipulate the son of his sister and best friend into thinking Luke was going to kill him. What a fool!

Midichlorians, you mean that one throwaway line that was mostly used as plot filler? That thing that people obsessed over for decades despite being less than a thousandth of a percent of the overall franchise?

A large part of the magic of Star Wars, for me at least, didn’t really have much to do with Lucas. It was the EU books and comics, how they expanded the world and made the characters much more than simple archetypes.

The biggest thing about them, though, is they built off what was already in existence. They didn’t try and replace or re-imagine it, they just let what was be and made it more.

It didn’t always work (and quite often didn’t), but the beauty was that there wasn’t any really one thing you had to stick with to enjoy it. If you didn’t like one series or game or whatever? Don’t indulge in it.

The problem with the new movies, and even for a lot of the shows, is that they present it as “This is your Star Wars now.” It’s not a whole wide world, it’s just a focused idea of what a few people want to make… and a few people want desperately to sell to an audience.

Hes not the messiah, he’s a very naughty boy

Yeah! Fuck people who want to better themselves in a way I disapprove of!
