Three words. Darth. Freaking. Maul.

He appeared to have died unrecoverably in TPM. A friendly reminder for those who may have forgotten: He was sliced in half and both halves bounced pinball-style down the reactor shaft of a plasma refinery into (no joke) a place referred to in canon as a "melting pit."

He came back in TCW and Solo (plus a bunch of other places), showed up again AND DIED AGAIN in Rebels, and now, he's getting his own show.

Given ALL of that, why the heck can't a fully conscious, uninjured, well-equipped genius who thinks well under pressure survive a fall?

That's not rhetorical, by the way. I dare welcome anyone to approach me with an intelligent answer to that question.

(I originally reblogged this with just tags, but then the desire for a salty rant took over, and here we are.)

The thing that's insane about the Tech Lives Discourse is that it seems to live in an alternate universe where zero normal narrative rules apply. Because so many major character deaths in media that are otherwise definitive will still get a little bit of "What if it's a fakeout" and everyone accepts this at least as a possibility even if they personally think it's a real death. And in Star Wars it's pretty accepted that even if a character died onscreen in front of you there's always a chance they'll come back even if they died out of universe years ago.

But from the second Plan 99 aired, suggesting that Tech was alive got you insulted or dismissed as delusional despite him having the single most sus "death" in history. Suddenly real life fall statistics have meaning in Star Wars and "no body no death" isn't a common narrative trope anymore. But just for him, every other character continues as normal.

Genuinely I don't understand why it's so out there to assume Tech's alive. He fell offscreen into some clouds and the only thing we know about him from the epilogue is that Omega still has the broken goggles. Literally nothing is actually keeping him dead and the fact that "Tech's alive we just haven't seen how he comes back into the story yet" is treated as a delusional niche opinion is straight up bizarre. No other character gets this treatment! Why is everyone so weird about him?

On tonight's episode of "Jessica Watches the CSI Franchise 20 Years Too Late"

You mean to tell me that I'm supposed to believe that Horatio fuckin' Caine had a child with Jessie Spano from Saved by the Bell? Horatio Caine managed to get a woman who looks like Elizabeth Berkley?? First Marisol and now Julia? Another woman who is gorgeous and nearly 20 years younger than him?

There's no way you'll ever be able to convince me that David Caruso didn't have some kind of stranglehold on the writers. He absolutely threatened to quit if they didn't give him hot girlfriends, didn't he?

There is a lot about CSI Miami that requires me to suspend my disbelief, but Horatio's love life absolutely tops the list.

heard about the charactarization of the comics and a vision so clear struck me that i had to draw it

[wandringaesthetic]

And now a post that is actually about Watchmen.

Like I'm not going to try to tell anyone that Watchmen isn't brilliant but I find it funny that some people recommend it to people. Who are not into comics. Saying that it's so much better. Than other comic books. Because it is extremely about comic books. I mean it is about America but it is about America through the lens of comic books using the language of comic books. You are not going to understand half of what it's fucking doing if you aren't pretty familiar not just with comics generally but western cape comics specifically. The thing that you are deriding as you recommend it. Which really makes one wonder whether half the people who love it so much understand it even a little bit.

[psalmsofpsychosis]

so i've been thinking about this

panel for awhile and, it's not even the first time Batman has threatened to beat Joker up with the precise intention of putting him in a full body cast but not kill him.

You know, that threat actually takes a rather maticulous amount of mental planning and physical control. Gettint someone within 3 inches of death but not kill them takes conscious read on the opponent's body language cues, their physical capacity and their thresholds, their highest pain point before their body gives in, and technically a rather comprehensive intimate knowledge on their internal organs and their medical history. Knowing how to bring someone close to collapse but not straight up flatline is actually a rather intricate controlled process that is subject to each individual's physical state at the moment, especially for the fact that we see Batman getting really really really close to the killing line and very much flirting with it, but never crossing it.

And honestly the presence of that threat —which he keeps telling Joker— is so bizarre and fascinating to me. Pray tell Bruce, how much time have you exactly spent mapping out Joker's body and cataloguing each and every point of it inside and out, enough that would enable you to read his minute physical responses in order to know when to pull a punch and how much?

These are all over the span of one week. I figured I'd put them in one place instead of posting them like rapid fire.

[nightwingsgypsyrep]

In a way, it’s kind of hilarious how Dick became a bird-themed vigilante twice-over, since birds are considered unlucky in gypsy tradition. (at least in the UK, I would be super interested to hear if this is the case abroad too!)

Like, my family won’t even have bird themed ornaments or bedding etc in the home. If a bird ever flew in the window of your trailer/chalet, you’d sell it/burn it down - no exaggeration!

So the fact that Dick became Robin after his parents’ deaths, and Nightwing after the row with Bruce which caused him to lose his home again is kind of fitting in a weird way.
