Without litigating each point one by one (some of which seemed to apply to other characters in the series, like Luke in OT), I don't see how any of that, if it's legitimately a problem, is an example of "virtue signaling" or "woke"ness over lazy or sloppy writing.

Ok.

I set it up you nimrod

It's a post count thing threshold. I want to say it's either 500 or 200; I can check when I get home.

I would say that, while the prequels had an arc expected from the beginning, the originals did not tell a cohesive story until the third movie. The gap between finishing ESB and writing RotJ was huge, and the direction RotJ took was probably influenced more by the internal politics behind the scenes more than anything else. So these new films are much closer to the originals in that regard, where we won't know what the final story of the trilogy is until it ends because they're making it up as they go along, with different writers doing different things. The first film was a soft remake of the original and the second is controversial due to the director's pull towards the subversion of expectations over all else (sometimes including plot or character development), combined with the direction the old Luke character took. So there are things to criticize, which I don't contest, and for example I definitely feel a lot of the subtext in RLM's "nerd crew" satire videos. But I specifically don't get the criticisms of "virtue signalling" or "wokeness" - like what do those labels actually speak to that other criticisms, like quality of writing or corporate sterility, don't more accurately reflect?

How old is it?

general warning: don't get too heated or personal, this is the anime folder - not rants - and a stricter moderation standard applies.

I honestly don't understand that criticism of new SW movies. I understand criticisms from the angle of it being sterile, corporate largess (over prioritizing storytelling) in pursuit of endless profits, which is just the prequel era on overdrive (which was itself RotJ on overdrive), combined with total oversaturation by the point they released Solo (five months after the film before it). But I just don't get the SJW/over"woke"ness criticism - especially when, in comparison, the prequels became so overtly political by the end.

90 year old grandmothers who don't go out anymore don't actually have the $25 in cash money to stuff in a card, yeah?

maybe because you called it a mullet dress, the universe retroactively named it a mullet dress

hi

also - fiddling around with widgets and the calendar - the calendar function might be pretty useful for next time (or any other scheduling related to the league). it lets you require an RSVP, so you can create a calendar event and require people to sign up and the event also acts as a thread for communication. I just set up a widget on the right sidebar of the homepage, right under today's birthdays, that populates with upcoming calendar events and just threw this one on to test it.

I sent you a message in your PSA - if you PM me the list of players, I can help with sending an email out re: the draft
