@Colonel_Mustache to dig a bit deeper and to get a little political. He said she said cases about abusive relationship are incredibly difficult to prove. Cases are built on physical evidence and having a bruise on your arm is incredibly circumstantial. There is no solid evidence most of the time. The case being thrown out does not mean at all he is innocent it means that the investigators didn’t find tangible evidence.
Roiland also used the word canceled specifically not to go on a whole spiel but canceled is an incredibly loaded buzz word. Said word is used to sway certain demographics his works already court to his side. It was an intentional choice to use that word and I believe he may use similar rhetoric in the coming weeks as his employment becomes more clear.
There is also stuff like this while not related is pretty telling
@Eagly Yep, unfortunately it is pretty difficult for He said/She saids...
Oh my gosh, I genuinely hate cancelled being used as a word. Not to go on a whole spiel either, but accountability is a way better word for it...
I looked up the context of those texts and... Yeesh. Yeah, absolutely no reason for any of that...
@Colonel_Mustache yeah again depp vs heard (which also again I don’t want to get into)
It was a very deliberate choice for him to use said word. It was loaded and he used it to his advantage. I am concerned of what his use of canceled could mean going forward.
It’s bad unacceptable I am glad he isn’t a part of the show any more
@Colonel_Mustache I am guessing it will go wrong within 2 months. Roiland needs to rebuild his cartoon empire I am worried about who will fund it. I could see his art take a dark turn after this
I get it’s weird to plug it now but You definitely should rick and morty is a great show controversy aside
@Colonel_Mustache I would be fearful of what happens if he starts trying to fully appeal to the toxic R&M fans the really toxic ones. It could become a dumpster fire quickly
@Colonel_Mustache it’s the same for everything. I was under the impression that solar opposites was Roilands solo masterpiece turns out he didn’t do anything he just leant his name to it. The man sucks
@Colonel_Mustache piece of garbage we have been over this but he basically traded voicing the title characters of shows and movies for being credited as a co creator. He would then proceeded to mentally abuse everyone he was working with.
@Colonel_Mustache yeah And I was very dissatisfied with last night’s Mando episode [the reveal was very disappointing. The rescuer was speculated to be everyone from anikan doing one last good deed to the bad batch to complete wildcards like bariss offee. The reveal was super underwhelming. They brought Jar Jar’s actor back but not him. I unironically would have been much happier if Jar Jar had saved grogu using the clones underestimation of him to sneak Grogu out. It was such a big reveal and I felt nothing. I know I have said this a few times now but Ihave vastly been enjoying BB s2 to Mando S3
@Eagly I don't know, that was actually one of the highlights for me personally...
SPOILER... I hadn't been following anything regarding that, so maybe that's why it didn't fall flat with me, but I like it for the fact that Ahmed Best(I hope that's right, I'm too tired rn to check...) showed up. Yes, it wasn't Jar Jar himself, but I still feel like it was Ahmed showing all of his past haters up... I dunno, I was more bored by the whole rescuing the foundling from the big bird...
I did enjoy Bad Batch more as a whole though...
I've been in the minority of enjoying Star Trek Picard as I didn’t really want yet another nostalgic catch the reference show anyway and watching a frail doitering Patrick Stewart has had me oddly fascinated so I wasn't that keen on the idea of this season being new The N̶e̶x̶t̶ Old Generation but bloody hell it's really good.
It’s nice seeing seeing the old gang back together (especially the surprise of Ro who was one of my favourites even if it makes sod all sense for her to be back) but the new additions to the cast of Shaw and Vadic are flat out fantastic. Shaw is gonna have to replace Jellico in those memes and has given my favourite line in the show of “At some point, ****hole became a substitute for charm” in his delivery and in a great context of the scene. After looking her because she was so good I was surprised to see Vadic is Amanda Plummer, best known as Honey Bunny from Pulp Fiction and daughter of the legendary Chris Plummer who played one of my favourite Trek villains Kang from The Undiscovered Country.
The plotting is really superb too as a lot of things things they aiming for could have flopped so easily. Touchwood they can stick the landing as I can see the mystery of Jack being a dud.
@Colonel_Mustachemakes sense I definitely got too much into theories about that I mean how could I not? I was just really under the impression that whoever it was was going to be a huge reveal. And as For Jar jar it destroys the haters and would have much more satisfying for me if he was the rescuer. I mean come on it would have been a prefect meeting of in universe and meta storytelling if the most underestimated star wars characters did something extraordinary. Walking out with grogu stuffed in a bag. The clones unsuspecting the haters of Phantom menaces mouths ajar it would have been awesome. But I get that’s definitely an unpopular opinion. The founding shouldn’t have been show all focus should have been on grogu
Ive been enjoying BB more as a whole since the first Mando episode I just can’t get into this Mando season
Also yeah it definitely wholely should've been about Grogu and not the foundling... Although I guess people would've complained about that? Although people complain about anything too...
