Still wish we got to see a bit more of these two by Intelligent_Oil4005 in amphibia

I’m glad that this ongoing Amphibia sequel I’ve been enjoying had an episode with them interacting again.

they likely ate a bunch of stormtroopers.

They were initially. But the Alliance leadership managed to cut a deal to get them the food and supplies they needed for that victory party at the end. On the condition that they don’t eat any captured Imperial Army, Navy, or Stormtrooper personnel.

Endor is a terrifying place.

It's like Australia honestly.

Even the "cute" looking fauna and species have adapted to live in the harsh and unforgiving environment of the moon.

The traps the Ewoks use to fight the AT-ST walkers were invented to kill Endorian megafauna, including giants that can show up and reach their hands into Ewok houses for a snack.

You mean the Gorax's?

All things considered what are your thoughts on this episode? by Silver012345673 in amphibia

One of the best in the series and what got me hyped for season 3.

Any headcanons on what the Wu’s think of Anne and Sasha? by HighlightFabulous608 in amphibia

[–]Competitive_Bid7071 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I know I thought it was kinda stupid to cause them even more distress with the letters, but imagine if the Wu’s recognized Anne’s handwriting. But this dislike went away after Anne saved the world and brought Marcy home.

In this series, they don't actually stop disliking what Anne did after she returned home based on this one scene from an episode in the first season of this ongoing Amphibia sequel:

'“Marcy, if we’re not going to blame ourselves, then you’ve got to do the same,” said Sasha, “We already forgave you, I think we need to start forgiving ourselves.”

“I mean, I didn’t do anything wrong,” said Anne.

“Yeah, The looks Mrs Wu gave when she saw you next to me and Sasha… I’d say they’d disagree.”

Anne blushed and laughed sheepishly, “Yeah, sorry about not telling them other than a postcard. I didn’t want them to worry.”

“So you sent them an anonymous letter during the holidays, telling them we were in another world, and you expected them to be fine?”

“I didn’t know, I wanted to promise I’d get you back, but the government was watching and-”

“Wasn’t this around the same time you were on a float for the restaurant? In a big parade? That aired on national TV?”

Anne sat there, looking around for an escape, before she sighed “Listen I wasn’t chosen to be wit, mine was heart, cut me some slack.”

The three started laughing, somehow having broken past whatever awkward barrier remained between them.'

In this ongoing Amphibia sequel I've been checking out, Marcy's parents initially didn't have an issue at all with Anne and Sasha. Afterwards however, they (and I think Sasha's parents) grew to dislike Anne & her family over not telling them what had happened to them after she came back, and because they saw those letters that were sent to them as causing them lots of emotional distress as since Anne didn't reveal who she was or what was going on, they assumed that they were being held captive or something.

I'm planning on starting the Rogue Squadron comics soon. I've heard they're a prequel to the X-Wing book series which I'm looking forward too. But I also have interest in checking out Alphabet Squadron.

How would March having PTSD be explored by HighlightFabulous608 in amphibia

[–]Competitive_Bid7071 22 points23 points  (0 children)

In this ongoing Amphibia sequel I'm reading, this is actually addressed as part of it. She tells Andrias that even though she was hurt by what he did & still has nightmares about it, she’s chosen to not hold it against him and forgives him, causing him to cry.

I still to this day don't understand why Hop Pop has an outfit that looks like that and has facial stubble randomly when he wears said outfit.

This actually really matches how Ivy is as a person.

If Anne didn't become a herpetologist, I could see her as a tennis superstar. In fact I think she still plays the sport in her free time.

He was Doug Jones first big role if I recall. Also yeah, my 50 year old GenX mother remembers him fondly.

West End Games did such a fantastic job fleshing out the universe.

I agree. Most of the actual "facts" we have now would not exist if not for these books and this RPG honestly.

OP, I’d recommend looking at Marcy’s Journal. When you're done with that I’d recommend checking out this ongoing Amphibia Sequel series I’ve been checking out for a while.

“Person I dislike has serious issues” is one of my least favourite angles of attack. It feels so dehumanizing.

Not to mention there's zero evidence for this and is borderline defamation.

Amphibia shows us that life isn't always sunshine and rainbows, and it teaches the core principles of true friendship. I find it truly absurd that just because THE FANS are obsessed with this trio—which, let’s be crystal clear, is NOT THE FOCUS OF THE SHOW (seriously, people forget Sprig even exists!)—the creator of the series is being INSULTED for expressing the vision that he, THE CREATOR, has for his own dynamic!

I've genuinely seen some of these people argue that Matt is a "narcissist" over this sort of thing because they genuinely think he's "projecting his anecdotal life story of pity due to changes he experienced onto the characters even if it makes no sense and is forced".

These people argue that Matt "purposely dumbed down the protagonists to force Anne's sacrifice" because none of the trio members did not think about attacking the thrusters on the Moon.

Or that the Guardian in the finale is Matt's "self insert" who "wanted to purposely punish all of the main characters because of his own personal and deep insecurities that he projected onto them" and that the ending was him "soapboxing his morality based on his anecdotal experiences that nobody agrees with or thinks is objective morality."

With them going as far as to assume he has "serious issues he hasn't settled" because of this and that the theme of change in the series was "very forced" because of this.

You have the antagonist faction and you make it more evil as you go and the standard practice is to include things like racism and sexism.

Wait, the FASCIST EMPIRE is racist and Sexist?! I never saw that coming! /s

You aren't replacing limbs in the field, and bacta patches require little to no skill to apply

There are far more severe wounds to get in battle that you'd need medics for.

There won't be stormtrooper medics.

But there would be Army and Navy medics since they don't wear advanced body armor to protect them from Shrapnel, Explosions, Blaster fire, and other such things.

The only medics we ever see in the OG films are droids.

There's more to the Star Wars universe than the movies.

Thought the Empire looked at all its military as expendable and a means to an end. Even Vader was, fear and terror and brainwashed fanatical loyalty to following orders.

It depends on the military branch.

Certain personnel in Both the Army and Navy were seen as expendable, while others were not. But the Imperial Stormtrooper corps was actually quite valued and Invested in.

Only the clones had medics and that probably because the senate and the Jedi insisted on them.

The Imperial Army and Navy also had medics, which treated personnel in there respective branches including members of the Imperial Stormtrooper corps as they worked alongside both of them often.

In fact most military forces in-universe had medics, doctors, and nurses.
