The flashbacks are done extremely well. You just have to wonder why Boba did it so terribly. -

Episode 4 of Andor Feels like the start of a new act within the story. So far, I'm really digging this show. If this type of setup is what we would have gotten in R1, then it would have been great. There are a couple easter-eggs in this episode, but more from a world building perspective than fan-service. -

Both our points can be true. Nothing mentioned discounted the fact that they were pretty well off prior to the investment. Like I said, you don't get that kind of rich thinking conventionally. That includes finding new ways to screw someone over. Regarding Bill Gates, if you haven't read the book "Outliers" by Malcolm Gladwell, please do so. Paints a really good picture on how things all came together. -

I mean, you don't get that kind of rich by thinking conventionally. Also, it's only a matter of time before Bezos becomes Luthor. He's already publicly showcased his hate for Superman in the content provided on the platform. #STAYWOKE -

I am in the same boat. This seems to put the WAR in STAR WARS I think you can have all those things, but don't rely on it as the ONLY things to go off of. It's a galaxy after all. -

That hit waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too close to home. Fun Fact - The only MGS game I've played in full is Guns of the Patriot. -

I was today years old when I found out what song "Wu-Tang Clan ain't Nuthing to F' Wit" sampled. https://www.instagram.com/p/CZhIPuIlaNP/ RZA is a damn genius. -

Exactly, because risk mitigation via cost of a hotel room is much cheaper than a lawsuit. -

Yeah, you can have a friend of the opposite sex and not try to dish out the D every time you are in close quarters. This is something I lived by when I was dating. I made it my best attempt not to have a crazy one come after me. Treated it like a project. Set up the requirements Both parties agree on the outcomes Manage expectations through out Terminate the engagement if things get out of scope -

Even factoring taking the trip, people in healthy relationships (likely) won't even let this be a thing because sensible boundaries and respect are a thing. -

We bought Star Wars eventually, so it was fine 🤣. We found a copy of Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade (best one, don't @ me) that was part of a promotion with a meal. There's nothing like hitting fast-forward to getting to that one scene at the end of a movie. Children today are spoiled 😂. -

When we were cleaning the house after my Dad passed away, I found Star Wars crossed out by whatever show I was into at least six times 🤣. -

Agreed. Regardless of the reason it's a sense of entitlement that shouldn't exist. So is the outrage over the character. -

He's said so many things in that video. The one place I want to focus on is how he reminds people that it's still there. That is a general problem with fandoms. Content gets created for the current generation around a thing from your childhood. It's not the way you want it, so you take to the internet and try to burn it down. The thing is, the original still exists. If you don't like it, don't watch it. The company making it will "hear you". If it doesn't match with your sensibilities, why expend calories and money on it. Pop in that VHS tape, fill a bowl of cereal and treat yourself to a nostalgia bomb instead of being a dick on the interwebz. -
He could have easily been one of the best MCU villains . . . but jokes. If this isn't a What-If scenario, I don't know what is.

Is this an honest take, because it would approach the realm of T'Challa being played by Chris Pine. -
Falcon and Winter Soldier is my favorite, but She-Hulk is a very close second. Falcon and Winter Soldier She-Hulk WandaVision Loki Ms. Marvel Hawkeye Moon Knight Sidenote- I can't be the only person that thinks about this show again due to She-Hulk.

Even though I think he could carry one, I rather see him as a cameo/ dispersed throughout. His deadpan delivery works across all of the MCU.

I think car manufacturers need to realize that moving everything to a touch screen is bad business. Sure, climate controls and radio are OK, but everything else (e.g., vent adjustments, mirrors, and windows) are a terrible choice.
