Kleya's spycraft listening board is maybe my favourite bit of tech business in Star Wars.

Andor gets the joy of the lived in, tangible retro tech of the OT. Buttons and switches and dials. Its so good.

I'm still liking the new season, but it definitely feels like something was lost with the decision to make each arc a year after the previous.

It does give season 2 a unique feel compared to the first, but everything is just so rushed now with no time to sit and reflect on what just happened because all that processing gets dealt with off screen.

And the three episodes per night are not helping the pacing at all

Add in a full on Rachel Kitty romance arc and I'm sold

You know how Marvel movies aren’t getting the profit margins to which they are accustomed? Here is what they should do. Instead of plucking up some indie movie director they should hire a micro budget one instead. Get Len Kabasinski to direct the Excalibur or X-Factor movie or something. He’ll not only bring you a print on time but he only spend $900k or the $150 million you gave him. All the actors were recast with amateur wrestlers and adult film actors. The fight scenes all look like this:

Well I guess I have to watch Resistance now

Reply to this post and I will assign you a Glup Shitto to obsess over, one who could use the care and attention.

Standing right behind Zeb and Kallus is MLM WLW solidarity

Barriss standing next to Cad Bane and Savage Opress of all people in this poster is so funny to me, like what would these three people talk about, the weather? 😭

Which song you liked as a teenager left you with tinnitus?

A few comics, a Diet Coke, and some breadsticks will fix me every time. No matter what. Someone brings out a singular plain baked potato?? Oh Boy am I done for. My day? Instantly made. I’ve never been stressed before. I actually can do anything. I may just be immortal, there’s no way to tell.

character interaction is such a big part of comic book storytelling. this seems like a very rudimentary concept and yet its something thats been missing from so many recent (superhero) runs.

i think a major reason why NTT has remained as popular as it is is because of the background character interactions. those little things that aren't part of the text (as in the narration or the speech/thought bubbles) but also aren't as impactful if you're just looking at the art.

alan davis is also really good at this. idk its just something i think a lot (again not all just a majority) of modern comics lack.

^this sequence of ray and meggan is one of my fave examples of alan using his posing & understanding of the characters' personalities

Today I finally finished a year and a half journey of reading through the 19 year long Chris Claremont X-Men period, from the main title, to New Mutants and X-Factor, to all the annuals and crossovers and miniseries.

And it was incredible.

For the most part these comics hold up very well (except some of the racial commentary), and are genuinely some of the best stuff I've read from Marvel. They quite literally don't make superhero comics like this anymore.

Rachel Summers, Dani Moonstar, Madelyne Prior, Illyana Rasputin, Kitty Pryde all incredible characters I was never super familiar before reading the classic material and now some of my favorite characters in 616. Rachel is neck and neck with her dad for the position of my favorite character in Marvel.

It was a wild ride, now time to read through the 90s. I would recommend this for anyone looking to get into X-Men, it lives up to all the hype.

"StephCass is queerbait" Stephcass is possibly the most accurate depiction of being queer we get in comics. Everyone I know that's queer has been in that exact unlabeled situation. I'm moving in with my best friend that multiple people think I'm dating.

Ahsoka has a type and it is facial marks

There's a Black Series Barriss coming as part of the Attack of the Clones wave! And a Tales of the Jedi wave coming, so hopefully we'll get a Tales of the Empire wave with a second Barriss after.
