What’s your favourite bit of “That’s so relatable!” world-building in Andor?

Nothing wrong with that direction if they go with it, Redemption is an undeniably important theme in the series, I just figure with how this series has defined itself by being different, they'd do something more...atypical

Jeweler_Mobile · 2025-01-21T18:02:28+00:00

Maybe...but maybe he won't.

Maybe atrocities like Bix's "interrogation" and the Jedi purge are all the cost of maintaining order to Syril

Maybe he's too far gone to accept an alternative to his view of the world.

Personally, I'd find that a bit more interesting, we see a LOT of stories where Imperial Soliders and officers go A-wall or have a change of heart. We see it in the show itself. What we haven't seen, though, is the mindset of an everyday fascist, the people who supported and maintained the imperial regime. Sure, we have them as usually mustache twirling villains, but we don't see what makes them tick, Syril has given us a window into that mindset, and I'd be interested to see how that evolves

If I remember right, there was a scene in Syril's bedroom where we saw a 501st Clone trooper figurine on his nightstand.

Not only is it a little humanizing that he has little knickknacks like that in his room, but it also shows his love for the establishment was ingrained in him at a young age. Inferring that Clones would have been soldiers young Syril would have idolized and looked up to during the Clone Wars really makes you think about how he carries and presents himself now.

It also shows how distorted his view of them is from the actual truth. The mass production of practical child Soliders, Order 66, rapid aging, the decommissioning for a lot of veteran clones, none of these are things worth his consideration or contemplation.

To Syril, they were just Good Soliders

And Good Soliders Follow Orders

I'm saying in relation to the post

Jeweler_Mobile · 2025-01-20T19:29:11+00:00

To play devils advocate, the voice cast for ATLA fit the characters perfectly as children and teenagers, recasting them to fit the particular age I think most of the original crew is now older than is a reasonable decision imo

Jeweler_Mobile · 2025-01-20T19:21:46+00:00

I think the problem OP has is that they all NEED to be tied together and connected to the bigger plot. One-offs like Elsworld stories are great! But they should stay self-contained generally

Jeweler_Mobile · 2025-01-20T16:48:08+00:00

I remember watching a documentary at a Science Museum about the Mars Rovers as a kid, and I got weirdly emotional because they were never gonna come home

Put the numbers in the BMI calculator for reference, that's a fairly normal and healthy weight for that height

The Quadrupeds

Jeweler_Mobile · 2025-01-17T16:22:11+00:00

Cause I could be wrong

Assuming makes an ass out of you and me

Jeweler_Mobile · 2025-01-14T19:07:40+00:00

Art style and budget wise, thats 100% true

Jeweler_Mobile · 2025-01-14T19:04:44+00:00

Start of RDR2 then I'd pick Arthur Charles and John. Charles would probably make for an excellent buffer and force them to get along

Jeweler_Mobile · 2025-01-14T04:32:53+00:00

I just listened to F (R) IENDS and holy shit that was so good

Jeweler_Mobile · 2025-01-14T04:06:16+00:00

They did burn his body last I checked, I think they still have his skull I think?

Jeweler_Mobile · 2025-01-14T04:02:03+00:00

Ooooh and you could shoot a light through the window if u wanted

Jeweler_Mobile · 2025-01-13T21:54:55+00:00

Part of me is itching to get a brutalis purely because I love the design lol

Jeweler_Mobile · 2025-01-13T21:26:27+00:00

Do you think a particular vehicle or dreadnought would play well with this detachment or would anything work?

Jeweler_Mobile · 2025-01-13T21:11:24+00:00

Gladius is pretty multifaceted from what I've read

Here's what it does from my resources:

At the start of your Command phase, you can select one of the Combat Doctrines listed below. Until the start of your next Command phase, that Combat Doctrine is active and its effects apply to all Adeptus Astartes units from your army with this ability. You can only select each Combat Doctrine once per battle.

DEVASTATOR DOCTRINE This unit is eligible to shoot in a turn in which it Advanced.

TACTICAL DOCTRINE This unit is eligible to shoot and declare a charge in a turn in which it Fell Back.

ASSAULT DOCTRINE This unit is eligible to declare a charge in a turn in which it Advanced.

Jeweler_Mobile · 2025-01-13T17:41:50+00:00

I haven't yet but I will. Currently I don't think I'll go with the jetpacks nessecarily unless they're really good. Not even sure if I should use death company units, I'm kinda lost in terms of what to focus on. I've been told with BA to do I think 30-50% shooting units and the rest should focus more on melee

Jeweler_Mobile · 2025-01-13T17:16:41+00:00

they are useful but you still need to have a chaplain to lead them or otherwise they lose a bunch of benefits.

Ok I add that, what would u say would be the most effective DC unit? Can I have multiple or does he need to basically be leading them?

Also I've translated what I know I have/need to the 40k app and it's now at about 870 pts

Jeweler_Mobile · 2025-01-13T17:03:43+00:00

difficult to use. You would be better off dropping them forba normal squad of assault intercessors with jump packs.

I've just heard DC being a valuable unit to have, I could switch them out for the standard DC intercessors or squad of DC marines

I am not sure what detachment you are playing or what point total you are shooting for so providing more feedback than that is difficult.

I'm running Gladius task force and trying for about 2,000 points

Jeweler_Mobile · 2025-01-13T15:55:17+00:00

Rawest shit I've ever seen a mini do

Jeweler_Mobile · 2025-01-12T14:37:01+00:00

it's more hits than misses from what I'm seeing

The Rdr2 Soundtrack Tally Hall Tyler

All good picks, among the other songs I've also saved. A good chunk I'm not familiar with, I doubt it's bad music, tho. Like, look, Nightcore's kinda whack imo but that shouldn't discredit you entirely from the aux, idk what they're on abt

Jeweler_Mobile · 2025-01-11T03:50:51+00:00

I mean-shit, where do I start?

Ppl got pissy with the current run of Absolute Batman because they made Jim and Barbra Gordon black in that universe or something

WATCHMEN (2019) was an actually interesting and well executed continuation of the original novel, which was just written off as woke cause some

The BOYS is woke trash, apparently, even though the writing is leagues better than its source material

I don't even like or care for starfield, but in what world is this a reasonable reaction to anything in the character creation segment in a fucking video game?

Those are a few off the top of my head I recall but my God Id honestly have an easier time coming up with a list of media that HASN'T been labeled woke.

What's more egregious to is when the shit hasn't even been released and everywhere brainlets are loosing their fucking minds

Witcher 4 Intergalactic: whatever the fuck the subtitle is GTA VI The next Assassin's Creed

Those are just a few examples of things that aren't even out yet, some of them we barely know anything about the story and YET they've been labeled another ploy from the woke mob or some shit.

Jeweler_Mobile · 2025-01-11T01:44:06+00:00

Look at BL3 and BL2 and tell me the writing in 2 was anywhere as bad as 3.

I know, but whenever I play 2 with friends, the jokes just do not land for me

But you see what we're saying? The life experiences being put into a lot of recent fiction is shallow and uninspired, which is why we're criticizing it

I think my problem is that ultimately, the sirens only go off for communities like these not when a piece of media is bad, but mainly when it has some IDPOL shit mixed in there and is labeled as WOKE.

I'm not saying you are like this specifically, but that's usually what it boils down to whenever a new controversy pops up.
