Pointing out to people in The Rehearsal Subreddit that the fact thst a pilot can end a co-pilot’a career fundamentally means that there can never be honest and open communication on the cockpit no matter what other stuff is done was met with good reception. I even got into Marxism about it openly and it’s going well

If you take it as it is, it’s a really fun read.

It’s lib but taken as it’s own thing it’s a fun read

As posted already there’s a comic called Red Son which is Iib af but still a good read anyway where superman lands in the user instead of America. I’m very inspired by that comic for the second movie and it’ll go down easier for audiences causes there’s a comic about it, even though I’d say thr difference between willingly defecting and crash landing there as a baby means quite a lot, nerds would just notice I’m tsking notes from a really popular superman comic. Even just being a Soviet worker means he can just like…really throw down hard on the each according to their ability each according to their needs things. He kinda throws that ratio wayyyyy off and the soviets becoming a rapidly advancing workers republic internally by just having superman putting up apartment buildings in 3 minutes means Soviet superman causes greater international tension just by helping the people cause America is gonna go harder on the cold war as a consequence. He’s just fucked no matter what and he considers himself a guest on this planet and can fly anywhere pretty much instantly, he’s a global view guy in a regional world. I don’t understand how other people haven’t latched on to this angle and really went with it

In all fairness he crashes there in the first place in that comic, he doesn’t become disgusted with America and willingly defect.

Old ladies do NOT fuck around with games. My first job ever involved running food orders to tables during bingo night. I basically had an impossible job of wandering around a room asking if anyone wanted to order food and also to not say a fucking word lest someone not hear a call and absolutely lay into me. As a 16 year old punk rocker who did not give any shits about this part of the job I eventually just took a silent lap around the room and anyone who flagged me down wrote their order down on my pad (of napkins) themselves. They lock in hard. However they also had to pay cash and usually got the same thing each time and brought exact change or would tell me to keep it for a tip. This fucking ruled cause I just pocketed their money and didn’t ring in the food. I knew my marks there and 3 ladies never once had their money hit the til and they got hooked the fuck up so they would absolutely never complain cause that would ruin my crimes. The rest I gave the worst service ever to so they’d constantly ask for refunds causing a lot of extra receipts to go through which disguised my crimes.

They should just give me like a billion dollars so i can make my superman trilogy idea real. I’ve got the broader details figured out, it would span the entire 20th century. Basically he goes from Smallville to Golden age beating up crooked landlords and kkk guys to being used for spying and propaganda in ww2 since he won’t get directly involved. After the atomic bomb goes off he defects to the Soviet union and focuses on reconstruction and just general domestic projects kinda stuff and MAD keeping things from going hot prevents him from getting at all involved in any kinda conflict cause he can’t stop every nuke if they’re all launched at once. Let Luthor becomes president somewhere around this time, he’s Reagan in this so let’s just say it’s the early 80s. Superman eventually goes all Quest for Peace mode and gathers all the world’s nukes and hurls them into the sun. Resulting radiation stuff gives him Krypton Cancer and then what is essentially All Star Superman plays out. I’ve got things more filled in than that but that’s the general idea. Superman is essentially the Christopher Reeves one, not a bad bone in his body and his thing is trying to find a place in a world not made for him without fucking it up, his need to help people and his just being way too powerful to exercise his utility without causing humanity to kill each other off. He’s still out there saving cats from trees and stuff and maintains a general optimism but is just in a century long awkward situation geopolitically to be Superman. There’s a whole Clark Kent side of the story, Luthor’s parallel arc. It’d be 3 movies of about 2 and a half hours if my dreams came true. I’m not a big Superman Guy but I love the idea of What if the Nicest Guy Ever Was Also The Most Powerful Guy Ever? And that it would be a lot more complicated than it seems. This whole sprawling epic falls apart if superman is ever grimdark during. He’s Superman, and he wants to do the most good he can without imposing his will on people and being an alien invader

It’s very fun

I’m guessing for most people it was just the visuals of it. But yeah I agree

Distinctions between hobbies play and leisure. It was useful for the thread and it seems it’s breached containment

Oh, okay. You’ll see what I mean later. I meant the final scene of the season/series

Moral of what story?

Companies are actually making more money off piracy than ever before cause you used to be able to rent a shitload of movies, rip em and upload them. Now people need to buy them

Rogue 1 is gonna be a letdown. It’s alright but it’s less Andor more normal stsr wars

My most lent out to libs books I have are that, Shock Doctrine and Killing Hope.

That is quite the commitment. I think if this season had been split into 2 seasons then a lot of the issues I had would resolve themselves just by having more breathing room. Wouldn’t fix the last scene though. Bix deserved better.

I was wondering if the stuff I made up happened to be true or was just being repeated.

I’m pretty sure that it has been looked into and it is.

Hogg’s out

I’m okay with a season 3 that retcons rogue one. It’s really mid
