ODG is right!
I know fandoms love their "canon" sources and creator statements, but the fact is none of that shows up on screen. Vader is never this whirlwind of force potential, Obi-Wan beats him like twice now, and intentionally force ghosts in their final battle.
Lucas himself is the greatest purveyor of "head canon", always going on about this and that but never showing it, only telling.
And is Gecko still around?
Srsly, what have you people been up to while I was on vacation?
I have a Reddit now, if anyone wants to follow. TheFrogofThunder.
Was surprised no one wanted Puddlegulp, thinking about changing my name on here to something related.
And FrogofThunder is a hit on the Ippo forums, which is fine considering I love Aoki, 🐸 👊 baby!
Been catching up on Ben 10.
"So Long and Thanks for all the Smoothies" kind of took the wind out of my sails. I mean it's one thing when Futurama has Fry go so far forward in time that he left everyone he knew and loved behind and is living in a universe of exact duplicates sans himself who he crushed upon arriving, but it's another thing when Ben 10 does essentially the same thing by having Alien X create a near exact copy of his old universe after it got blown up.
And Ben knowing all this only cares about the taste of the smoothie being off. He kind of is a little psycho ain't he.
So about three days now since I checked in, and most of the forums I checked in with haven't budged.
Only semi active place is the random and 200,000,000 post thread.
With a happening place like this y'all look pretty foolish snubbing active posters. I know no one's gonna really see this what with the mass blocking, but just saying.
Have you seen the Beetleguise 2 thing? Yet another wokified cash grab 🤔
They messed up Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Ghostbusters, Star Trek, Dune, Shogun, Rocky, Mad Max, Doctor Who, now it's Beetleguise's turn! Maybe they'll mutilate Edward Scissorhands next!
The people are getting shot in the square, they will not be satisfied until they destroy every last good franchise!
So UN aide workers were beaten by IDF until a senior officer intervened.
Maaaybe this behavior shouldn't be swept under the rug and excused as "Well we're fighting a war here". I mean we get it, they attacked you, you are defending yourself, that doesn't justify anything and everything you do. Like beating down aid workers, or maybe bombing families because they all look the same to you as HAMAS.
So tried watching Ben 10, and got to "So Long and Thanks for all the Smoothies".
Spoiler: Bomb destroys universe, Alien X couldn't save it in time so creates a near perfect copy. Meaning everyone in it except Ben DIED AND WAS REPLACED.
Kind of ruins the rest of the series for me, there's always that "Oh look, it's copy Kevin", or "Man Grandpa.Max being badsss like always. remember when Grandpa Max did that thing? Before he died?"
