Lol! You got the wrong URL there - Mom Speaks Out after her PTA bros trolled her adult site account. I do that all the time, just ask my kids.
It's getting good. Really good. There are only two episodes left, tonight's and next week's. One YouTuber broke down the narrative arc that most stories have - the beginning three, the middle, and the end three. It was apparent last week that we've entered the end phase. In creative writing class I got to explain it like this: the story goes floating along until you get near the end, then it's like someone flushed the toilet and everything swirls down into the bowl. That's what started last week.
There are some people who don't like it, but I think they're in the minority. It's engaging, and I think that Wanda and Vision as a couple work well. The actors are personable and the story line engaging.

FUBAR'd URL noted... its just gonna have to sit there until my can jump start. I'm kinda working on about seven brain cells right now... none of which are the ones that would let me do what needs to be done.

No problem. News like that isn't hard to find.  You usually put the actual title so it's very easy to search when the topic's a little off the mainstream. It's funny. The popularity of the show means people are using phrases from it all over the place. The latest is, 'It was __________ all along', from Agnes's theme song where the blank is filled by, of course, Agnes. Watching a video right now that has, 'It was Kathleen Kennedy All Along' as the thumbnail, talking about the Gina Carano bullying and firing. BTW, everyone thinks it'll be Rosario Dawson next. |

They're making noises about firing/cancelling the actress who is Asoka Tano?
"Cancel culture" is stupid because it expects perfection. Well, guess what, none of the people memorialized by place name, statute, monuments, or any other way of remembrance was perfect. And we didn't memorialize them because they were perfect. It was "________ did this and it was monumental. So we're memorializing them for future generations."

Right. All these 'twitterati' focus on is the negative. Washington was bad because he owned slaves. Ditto many of the other Founding Fathers. I don't think these folks ever say anything positive. If you don't give them lip service you're wrong and need to be cancelled.
They've had small digs at Dawson, yes, Asoka, for a few months now but they've been concentrating on Carano. Carano's been fired so now they can 'safely' go after Dawson. Backlash among the entertainment YouTubers I watch is good to see. Carano was, and is, a fan favorite so this mob injustice was that proverbial straw. It apparently, this is rumor but repeated by different sources, stems from a power struggle in LucasFilm. There's the Kennedy faction and the Favreau faction. Kennedy's faction is responsible for the sequel trilogy, Favreau's for the Mandalorian and its spin-offs. Kennedy's output hasn't done as well as Star Wars properties are expected to perform; Favreau's have done as one might expect. Kennedy's not happy. Kennedy's faction is egging the 'twitterati' on. Again, rumor-heavy so take with a pinch of salt.
