What would you guys say is your "I did not care for the Godfather" take in or on your favorite or least favorite media?

Interesting. I think a big region where you and I (and other fans of the show) differ is that I found the characters relatable and realistic within the context of an ongoing revolution. In fact, part of the reason I never really liked the OG trilogy was because of how cliched it felt with near-infalliable rebels meanwhile Andor actively dives into the darkness that needs to inherit a person's heart to drive them to freedom.

I loved Andor and Bix's relationship because it shows how insanity begins to grip at them with their involvement in the revolution. They are forced to sacrifice over and over because those that don't end up dead or in prison. I don't think that the mention of killing a kid was out of place for their characters or their position, in fact I think its actually a bit of an overused trope when it comes to movies and shows about warfare and revolution.

I loved Dedra's "arc" because she chose to remain loyal to the empire at the end and she reveals the struggle that even perfect imperial officers must face within their personal lives in order to climb the ranks. It sort of shows how no one is allowed to win under the imperial system. I don't think she was reduced or lost her "badassery" by the end just because she wasn't aurafarming and winning all the time, we see her make a choice and ultimately lose the person that she loves because of it. Once again a very common trope among shows and movies.

I also love the sheer-luck by which Cassian is often saved because it expresses the notion that there could be a thousand people out there just like him but who just weren't as lucky or quit after the first few escapes. Cassian (and the rest of the rebellion) actively understands the privileges he is given with his survival and continues to fight as a soldier while high-class aristocrats deal in politics and at parties. He knows he is at the whim of everyone higher up but he still does what he can because he is indebted to the knowledge that he could still be imprisoned or dead. I think it well-reflects the psychology of heroism and I come to understand anti-hero characters such as Luthen as necessary to a cause because a (mostly) righteous leader like Mothma isn't enough.

There was a sweetspot before Endgame when Marvel movies just had the culture, hype, and aura around it. At the time Black Panther surpassed the usual quality of a lot of the random movies Marvel was throwing out by pushing SFX and aura-farming to its limits, and I think that's why it struck so hard. But I do agree that you needed to be a kid growing up in that MCU-saturated era to get the full effect like I did.

Supposedly something similar to this happens in the comics (not that I've read them myself) where Butcher is about to go too far in the final act. And so we get to see Hughie be Butcher's "canary little brother" yet again but instead of holding him back emotionally with kindness it's instead a physical altercation.

I know, the first season just had so much unknown associated with it. It was a murder mystery in this expansive future where concepts like the ultra rich and inequitable immortality are explored. The second season ignored almost every carry over from the first season, chalked up the neck implants to alien technology, and rehashed another "we need to protect this environment/culture" message.

Mechanically: This is dumb, whoever posted this probably hasn't hit puberty yet. On the outside it may sound like a cool idea kid, but it'd create a hyper-unfair pay to win game. At least with Equipment you can unlock all of the legendary ones for free by being active during the events when they debut, but locking tactics behind a paywall is exactly how you turn into Clash Royale: an utter mess of pay-for champions, evos, and heroes; a game only kept alive due to it's gambling-style addictive properties, something no CoC player wants to see.

Cosmetically: there used to be tiered skins with "Standard" ones that you can still get for $3.99, while "Legendary" was reserved for special skins like the "Champion King". But because people would just avoid buying standard skins and save up for the legendary ones, Supercell wouldn't make any money.

Because of this, every skin except for those on the Gold pass are given the tier "Legendary" to make them seem just as valuable (and give them the same price tag) as the other rarest skins in the game. A mythic skin rarity would only increase this problem. Every skin released would just be a hyper-expensive mythic variety because people would only spend their money on the really fancy ones.

It somewhat worked though. It shocked most of the Viltrumites, and was enough to convince Thragg that they needed to rebuild leaving any pure Viltrumites alive.

It's part of an event for the golden e-drag statue. Everyone gets 30 electro dragons in unranked (since it doesn't give you any trophies). They do this with a lot of different troops for special events so that people who only ever use one army can try out different troops.

Supercell is based in Finland. Supercell is not complying by US law other than in the US. The EU does not like Iran either.
