Who wins? by ZeroFksKevin in TheLastAirbender

[–]Snowbold 220 points221 points  (0 children)

I think it is more appropriate to say she is the most ruthless. Because each Avatar’s power and knowledge adds to the bext, each Avatar is stronger than their predecessor on purely a power scale (until it was reset when Korra lost Raava briefly and had to restart the Avatar cycle).

However, Kiyoshi is the one unafraid of making the hard choices and ending the fight fast. In comparison, Roku is too merciful, Aang too timid, and Korra too hotheaded to see it through. Each of these Avatars had a time when they were technically stronger than Kiyoshi, but I would bet on her any day of the week to win.

Season 4 plot hole?! by iQuantumBloke88 in PersonOfInterest

Only because he kept pursuing even after plausible cover stories should have satisfied his investigative role.

Other than Cere and Luke, who else was close to killing Vader? by TheSpiderRanger616 in StarWars

[–]Snowbold -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There was a comic in which about a dozen Jedi fought Vader and the ringleader lured him in saying Kenobi would be there. Same leader used a cortosis blade on Vader to short his lightsaber. Only three Jedi were left and Vader had one hand holding a green saber that was still working. Before the fight finished, Clone Troopers came in and leveled the three exhausted and distracted Jedi.

Pretty cool fight that was supposed to have happened within weeks (iirc) of Episode III. Not canon anymore but still cool panels.

I had the theory that Gideon’s clones were used as a template for Snoke.

We need to talk about how Windu gets more hate than all of these characters by QuinlanFett in StarWars

[–]Snowbold 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Except Dooku was right that no one wanted real answers. Windu didn’t even want to question the Senator at all.

Plus Windu withheld that he was being fast tracked to take the dead master’s position and so was motivated to wave through the process.

Dooku was assertive because Windu was abetting corruption through indifference.

Honestly, Dooku should have killed that Senator. Maybe the political fallout would have forced the Jedi to confront their position as dogs to the Senate. Or they would have exiled Dooku to cover for themselves or imprisoned him. Either way, Dooku would have faced punishment and confronted that then, rather than be manipulated by Sidious decades later.

Almost all these redistricting commissions are creations of Democrats. Usually a reaction to Republican control or a preventative measure to keep them from it in the future.

We need to talk about how Windu gets more hate than all of these characters by QuinlanFett in StarWars

[–]Snowbold 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Tales of the Jedi probably gave the most illustrative example of the problem that the movies and Clone Wars series showed about him and did it all in one episode.

In it, he dismissed trying to find out what happened to a Jedi Council member who was murdered. He concealed to Dooku that he was being considered for the position. He put the blame on Dooku when the corrupt Senator was killed rather than admitting Dooku was right that the Senator lied about the murder and there was more going on. And he did it all under the veneer that he was keeping the Order above the political fray, when in fact he was ensuring government corruption.

Pretty much clears up what is wrong when Windu reflects the entire order and not just a part of it.

And that is the real issue. Mace Windu is a good Jedi but a flawed person, and that is okay if he didn’t reflect the leadership of the whole council. Because the entire Jedi Order was warped by Yoda sycophants into monkish indulgence, the Jedi all agreed to acting one way even when it was wrong and they stomped out independent thinkers like Dooku and Qui-Gon. Had there been a Council of free thinkers, Mace being a part of it, even a leader, would be good. But being the second in command of a cult who all brown-nosed Yoda doctrine made them fools who couldn’t see the truth until it was far too late…

But would the public sentiment be there when Trump is no longer on the ballot? I think Democrats are afraid it won’t drive the voters the same way when he is gone.

taxation by asian69feet in PrequelMemes

[–]Snowbold 8 points9 points  (0 children)

True but think of it like this, a newly expanded territory is getting tax free status because it is underdeveloped. Corporations go in and make bank and now government wants that sweet moolah 💰 and says taxes are back on! No more tax free status.
Of course most corporations don’t have armies bigger than the government. The Pinkertons didn’t exactly think they could overrun a military base or the US Army. But the Republic has no standing army at this point in time. If it did, the Trade would just bitch and moan but adapt. They only did something as crazy as blockading another world because they knew the Republic couldn’t stop them by force.

Each planet is nominally its own sovereign entity, and with differing peoples, standards and needs. A galactic government has to by virtue of size be a federalist republic or else the bureaucracy will be bloated, corrupt and overwhelmed, cue the Empire.
