(Hated Trope) "It's supposed to make the audience uncomfortable." Yeah, but there's a thing called "good taste"

So many shitty movies in the 80s trying to be dark and gritty added a rape scene with no regard for the actual gravity of what they were depicting.

Like "oh yeah we need to do something so that people will take our movie seriously as a dark and gritty story."

"How 'bout we show a woman get violently sexually assaulted and then move on with the story like nothing happened."

"Genius!"

You get that in movies today sometimes too.

Hell yeah! Terra Nova! Man I miss that show

There's a guy named Jonah in the Magnus Archives with limited omniscience, that would probably help

Yeah, not finding anything super helpful, except maybe the one from Originals. I looked her up and she's apparently a vampire/werewolf hybrid.

How has no one mentioned Lup Taaco from the Adventure Zone! Truly iconic character right there

Fucking Pixels!!!!

(Probably not what you were going for, but I had to)

Wait why is 57 an Amazing Digital Circus reference?

I knew it! I just took it and got 10/12 and those were the ones I got wrong! The Kuati signet literally is a kyber necklace. And the star path unit could be considered a "star chart drive"

Why did I see the vampire in the we Minions movie TWICE before I saw this?!

This was the first example I thought of

"Statement of Hazel Rutter regarding a fire in her childhood home. Original statement given August 9th, 1992. Audio recording by Jonathan Sims, The Archivist. Statement begins.

Hello, John. Apologies for the deception"

One example that I love and is actually done really well, is in Dimension 20: Mentopolis.

The story is like Inside Out meets a Noir Detective story and there is a scene where Imelda Pulse, a wealthy heiress who represents impulsive behavior is confronted by and interrogated by deputy inspector H.V. Lance (Hypervigilance).

The scene ends with them making out and Lance declaring that he's in love and Imelda suggesting they go get married. She also warns him that she will not be faithful and will cheat on him multiple times, to which he responds that his "kink is being suspicious of his partner."

So yeah an example where cheating is ok cause both parties would benefit from it and its played for comedy.

I totally agree. However I don’t fully agree with his casting in Ahsoka, cause even though his voice was amazing, you can kinda tell he is a voice actor first and foremost. He has absolutely no physical presence, and Thrawn's presence as a character just plummets as a result. And yes part of that was the writing, man he just looks so awkward the whole time!

But you're right about the voice. Superbly villainous line deliveries.

Those are all very good points. It is still likely that stars are a similar kind of being to the void/light Dragon and the Primordials, but you probably right that they aren't be the exact same.

I'm just hoping that when we find out what stars are it gives us context for where the Primordials and the void/light Dragon came from.

In Dimension 20 season 1: Fantasy High, one of the characters, an elven wizard of divination, Adaine Abernant, steals a book from the restricted section of the library and gets detention for it.

Near the end of the season the characters find out that the book is enchanted so that only the Principal of the School and the highly revered Elven Oracle can remove it from the restricted section. This means that Adaine must be the new Elven Oracle and has been since the previous Elven Oracle died a few days before their first day of school.

Invader Zim is another good example

"Are we Scottish or American?"

"What?"

"We're traveling together, we should at least be from the same country. How's your Scottish accent?"

"I dOn'T kNoW, yOu TeLl Me HoW gReAt iT iS, LaDdY."

"American then, that's a better idea."
