Carbon dioxide and methane have been found on lifeless comets, yes? Seems like an "okay" indicator for life rather than a direct result of.

Yeah I'm rereading Dragonball right now and it's just solid fun. No underlying message or cynical take on humanity, just silly fun.

Sounds good on paper but in the 80s/90s the US people were told 401ks are better than pensions. Now in order to retire we all have to cheer on non-stop expansion of corporations or we can never retire.

Cucumbers and celery. Really the only produce I actively dislike

planet-killing microdickmobiles.

Saw a Ford F-250 recently... Why do people with micro dick energy feel they need these awful vehicles?

If any union makes a deal with Republicans or that lunatic rapist they are out of their minds.

Good to know on the animation front and thanks for the info. I don't think good animation can save what's become glaringly soulless production in the anime, but again, I'm trying to be open-minded and I'll be glad to watch if I hear Daima's good. Let's hope Daima has some more heart put into it so it reaches the levels of quality as the Super manga.

the best people that worked on Super.

That's a low bar imo. I watched all of the Super anime and it was mostly okay with a sprinkle of a cool scene every like... 20 episodes. Of the entire universal tournament arc, only the finales of Goku vs Kefla and Goku/Frieza vs Jiren were hype for me. Vegito vs Zamasu was cool too, but the rest of that fight was botched (a spirit sword? jfc). I'm in the minority probably, but I won't watch the Super anime again when it continues; I'm sticking to the manga.

I'm trying to be open-minded about this series... but probably will not watch it. Doesn't look interesting and gives reminders of GT (which is bad).

A clam shell Switch --without Joycon drift-- that plays my digital Switch library and features better graphical hardware is all I want. Doesn't need to be a revolution, but it needs to play more games than the Switch currently can.

How would you block threads? There are still many things about kbin that confuse me, so asking in earnest.

There are a lot of things I really love about TLJ and overall it gets a lot of unnecessary hate, and usually a lot of the arguments are not well constructed beyond "I didn't like it". The main three gripes I hear about it are: a) Finn's side story was unnecessary (which, sure - maybe. I could see both sides of that argument so won't fight about it) b) Luke was nerfed from his Legends persona (arguably, was a fantastic decision) c) the immediate death of some characters.

Legends Luke's power is stupid and god-like. At one point he walks on the surface of a black hole, which is absolute trash fan fiction. Legends makes a very poorly/quickly trained Jedi into a Master and the absolute strongest being in the universe, who is so powerful that he basically isn't human anymore. It makes for a very boring character, similar to Superman. TLJ makes Luke into a believable character, considering his background and what's happened to him since we last saw him. 30 years is a long time and he's seen some shit - all without a lot of the proper Jedi training that other Jedi received since they were children.

As for the deaths of Phasma and Snoke: who cares? The main reason for them to be around was to be monoliths for Finn and Kylo Ren to overcome. They weren't interesting characters otherwise and we find out why Snoke wasn't developed further in the next movie. Also, Kylo Ren should be the focus of a movie in the Skywalker saga, not the newbie Snoke. Removing him was a good choice. Finn's monolith being removed gives him an opportunity to move to a new phase in the next movie, which was then not utilized by JJ. Furthermore, Phasma was supposed to be the next Boba Fett: just a marketable character who was pretty boring in the original trilogy but looked cool so his action figure sold well. TLJ does a very sensible thing overall: It takes unnecessary characters and writes them out of an already overcrowded character list.

TLJ also examined what went wrong with The Force Awakens and fixes it: namely that TFA is so safe that it leans into a boring rehash of ANH. TLJ at least had the guts to do something different and take the franchise in another direction, one SW sorely still needs thanks to JJ and Disney's refusal to do something different. So much of SW in the last 2 decades has been incredibly safe - except TLJ. It really goes to show how little originality and small vision JJ Abrams and Disney have as creatives that they couldn't figure out how to handle TRoS, which is arguably the absolute worst SW film - and outperforming AotC in that regard is truly impressive.

Last point, the last 20 or so minutes of TLJ really understands the origin of SW: Japanese samurai/ronin sword duels. It's also visually beautiful.

TLDR: SW fans go brr, hate everything anyway.
