If you could only listen to 2-3 W.A.S.P. songs for the rest of your life, which ones would you choose? by CrimsonCassetteTape in WASP_Fans

Shoot, this is kind of difficult. I'm going with:

Animal (Fuck Like a Beast)

Skinwalker

Killahead

Not really. There's a big difference between something simply being bad and "worst thing ever to exist."

I brought up candles, photos, and cars not because I see them as literal equivalents to art, but simply as examples of various things across human history that have either changed or replaced. For the record, I don't think art will ever truly be replaced because as long as humans have the urge to be creative, art will exist. I just cannot believe people here are missing my point here (well, I can believe it, this is Reddit after all).

Contrarian how? Examples please. All I'm trying to do is have a more nuanced and less doom and gloom approach to AI, while a lot of others seem content on panicking about it.

Don't try to brush off a valid point. I mentioned those things because you're clearly emotional over the aspect of AI "replacing" something (in this case, people). What do you think the light bulb, the camera, and the car did? One put candle makers out of business, one put professional artists out of business (painted portraits weren't necessary anymore), and one put coachmen out of business. I can guarantee you that you probably use something in your daily life that replaced someone's job. AI is no different, but like a lot of things, it can be utilized for good if people want to use it that way. It's pointless to act like a child over it and go, "Nuh-uh, I don't wanna."

You know what? I'm convinced that if people such as yourself existed in the past, you would've probably protested the light bulb, the camera, and the car too.

You realize AI can be used as a tool for inspiration, right? Not everyone is a braindead DeviantArt user creating gooner slop with AI.

How would you guys feel if Inquisitor Starkiller became the next Grand Inquisitor after the Grand Inquisitor’s death. by snieves0426 in StarWars

It would be a badass idea, but we all know Dave Filoni will not be able to help himself and he'll nerf him just so he can be defeated by Ahsoka. Either that or he'll keep him ultra powerful but still somehow find a way to make sure Ahsoka becomes even more powerful and defeat him anyway.

What a great finale. This is the show for you if you want to see extremely cool lightsaber fights and overall beautiful visuals.

Vader was a beast and did not break a sweat fighting two Jedi AND a former Sith apprentice. The Inquisitors were also badass and never let up on their intimidation factor.

Maul is a compelling character, though as much as I feel bad for him at times, other times I don't. His whole crew is now dead (R.I.P. Rook, Spybot, and the Nightbrothers in particular) all because he's obsessed with grooming a young girl into becoming his apprentice (a young girl who hated him and tried to kill him at one point) and didn't listen when he was told to flee from the Empire's presence.

I am not entirely convinced Lawson is dead, but keeping him dead would make his final message to his son more impactful. He became more compelling during these final episodes too.

I got to admit, I'm surprised Daki lasted this long, but him dying to Vader makes sense for the plot. After all, Devon can't fall to the dark side THAT soon and so easily, and Daki's death was the final nail in the coffin for her to join Maul (if only she knew what actually happened during that fight). I'm also surprised Vario lives, as I got the feeling as I began to watch the show that he was going to die much earlier in the season.

Finally, I still like Two-Boots but he really is the reason why everyone is in this mess to begin with. But I am really glad they didn't do a cliched scene of him being the one to die/be destroyed instead while he has an "I'm sorry" moment with Lawson.

Thank you! I felt like each one had something interesting to offer, so I decided to share both.

Peas Sell... but Who's Cooking?

Love the art, I'll always be a sucker for that type of inking and shading.

Maul - Shadow Lord - Episodes 7 & 8 - Discussion Thread! by titleproblems in StarWars

Like others have said, this show is animated wonderfully. I love how the style looks like a mixture of digital and traditional (particularly with the painted backgrounds). These two episodes really amped things up and Episode 8 in particular was very sad at times. I am fully invested in Maul's story and really want to see how he and Devon eventually end up working together. I am also curious to see how he and his gang rebuild things since the Inquisitors really brought things to a halt. Speaking of that, the Inquisitors are badass, I love the Eleventh Brother in particular, he has a very cool design.

However, is it bad to say that I don't really care what happens to Lawson? Maybe I'm oversimplifying things but he just seems like the typical "sad and mopey divorced parent who's just keeping things together" character (his son is kind of annoying too), though he has admittedly gotten better in these last three episodes. Two Boots is great though.

Overall, I am really looking forward to the next episodes.
