Yeah, the Star Wars fandom has one of the most toxic groups of people on the internet. It’s bonkers.

I’m finishing Bridgerton tonight and Im very much looking forward to House of the Dragon Season 2 on Sunday. Very curious how they’re going to handle Blood and Cheese. I’m expecting the internet to explode if they follow through with how it transpired in the book.

Blood and Cheese is one of the most disturbing arcs in the entire war. Might be too explicit to actually air it. I could see them mentioning it happening but not actually show it
And I’m excited too. The whole cast has been amazing.

Nearly two weeks have passed since Final Shape came out and…
It was not on par with Taken King, Forsaken and not even the Witch Queen in terms of narrative…
It surpassed them. I don’t know how but what an ending. Server issues aside, the campaign on legendary difficulty was a good balance of challenging and fun. The final boss of the campaign is probably the best they have done when it comes to mixing the pacing with the story. The true ending left me and many others in tears. Honestly… 10/10 for story. I have no real complaints about it. The interactions between Crow and Cayde is honestly wholesome and funny. Nice to see that Nathan still has it, he was missed for Caydes death in Forsaken. I mean how would you react when you see the face of your killer but find out that he isn’t that same person anymore… literally. Zavala goes down an interesting character arc which sees some loses and old wounds are opened once again. Keith David I think did a good job for what he was given. I think anyone would’ve struggled to take over a role that was performed so well by Lance. RIP Lance. The Witness once again trying to tempt us into becoming a disciple is honestly funny. I guess they didn’t get the memo we sent at the end of Beyond Light.
Some system changes are questionable however. The new pathfinder system is good but the fact that it is completely RNG on what you get makes the ritual activity one frustrating. Since it includes all three of them. Those being vanguard ops (pve), Crucible (pvp) and Gambit (pvpve). So the final two nodes to each the end could be both pvp focused, either via crucible or gambit.
In summary, a massive step up from Lightfall in its story.
And the opposite is happening with their opinions on Dave Feloni. They loved him during the Clone Wars (2008) and when Rebels picked up steam. But now they hate him because reasons.
It is funny how many of these wokespotting grifters say they are “done with Star Wars” only to turn around and scream at the next star wars release. I guess they wanted a quick pay check as they have no integrity.

Fanboys freaking out like, “jedi are the good guys!”
Wait until they realize that the reason for the rise of the First Order was because the New Republic is incompetent and the amnesty program is facsist.

Finished my first alliance character in ages on level 60. Now waiting for Time walking. He is a Draenei hunter and it was a great experience to see the cataclysm alliance zones for the first time.
A common trope in writing is to give the villains good points with the only reason they are the villains being their methods. Then to have the heroes never actually deal with, address, the reasons for the villains in the first place.
Some people, usually from groups who benefited, have a hard time accepting that the villains have a point or that the problems are actually problems and not features.
In such situations people tend scream about loyalty and try to down play the problems of the social system they are a part of… until they stop being the beneficiaries…

My first experience with Star Wars was watching The Clone Wars. The separatists were nothing but villains and only started showing positive qualities on the later episides and supplementary material. Heck, they even orphaned Din Djarin. They qerem’t going to be real freedom fighters as long as they weere just a manipulation by Dooku and Palpatine.
Ironically most of those fanboys hated the prequels and they must have missed this Star Wars gem of a scene.

These people just hate Star Wars period. They trash EVERYTHING SW related. And they done little to prove otherwise
If they claim it’s woke, you know right there they aren’t a Star Wars fan

Indeed. Tyrannus made certain the Separatists were just an extension of the Republic disguised as a rebellion.
The Republic was always corrupt and nothing more than a tool of the Sith to keep the Jedi distracted with Politics.
Take out the Centralized Government and the Jedi become disconnected Peace Keepers whose duty is to defend life.
The Jedi should also learn that Fear of those who delve in the Dark Side leads those they are afraid of to the side of the Sith becoming part of the Cancer in the Force. Rey learned that lesson in The Last Jedi.
I’m kinda curious what true blue starwars fans think of the RLM reviews of the prequels.
Age of Mythology gets a reboot who else is hype? I surley am.

Yeah, so it wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. It was still bad, but they handled the scene a lot better than I was anticipating. Still waiting to see some reactions from people who haven’t read Fire & Blood, tho.

The target was Aemond they only killed the kid so they won’t go to Daemon empty handed. They are keen of staying to Martin’s intention as the villains being the Greens.

I mean, they cut out when they asked Daemon “What if we can’t find Aemond!”
And while in the castle they said “Well he did say a son for a son!”
It can still be put on Daemon, but the Greens are definitely the wrong choice regardless of book or show imo.

Remember the Riverland genocide. There is no way anyone can excuse this.
Daemon and Aemond seem to be the Villains: One cold and calculating and the other hotheaded and impulsive.
The latter is the most destructive of the two: The leader of the Greens his own mother even blames him for starting the War so he will be hated by both sides and this being hated will make him even more of a monster over time resulting in the Riverland genocide.
Daemon’s assassins failing to assassinate this hothead has only made things harder on Westeros as it is better for the land to have a Cold Calculating Villain by himself than to have him at war with a Hotheaded Villain who will commit countless crimes out of frustration at not winning.
