I think the space horses in the new trailer really means that Disney is clueless about where the franchise is going wrong. There's some kind of huge disconnect between Disney and the fans. I mean, some executive literally thought, "the fans will be disappointed if we don't follow up on that space horse storyline." So I have no problem believing Rian Johnson's trilogy is still in the works.

The horserace/casino planet was actually really cool, and exactly the kind of worldbuilding a Star Wars ST needed.

They just had an awful subplot that happened there.


I don't even think it was a terrible subplot. It made enough sense and kind of fit with the theme of "you ****ed up, now try something new" of the rest of the movie.

Every one of Rose lines being some kind of #WOKE tweet about Social Justice really ruins the momentum of the movie, because a lot of them just feel forced.

No. Being stuck on Chrome is way more restricting than you might think. It can run android apps and stuff, but its not fantastic.

If you're like a student or just need a computer to be mobile and have another one its fine, otherwise its only a little bit better than trying to use an ipad as your PC

that doesnt sound good... i was thinking since on my windows pc all i really do is use browsers, spotify, ms office & read pdfs that i could feasibly replace it with a chromebook but maybe its too restrictive


There are a lot of things that you might not use a lot but when you flat out can't use a certain thing on a . chromebook, its a much bigger problem.

If you still have a regular PC and need to do basic stuff like browser, E mail and such from mobile you can probably be fine, but might run into some of these awkward issues every now and again.

If you aren't a student or anything, a lot of these can disappear for you mostly just knowing you won't need to download this weird excel add on for a class or something.

So if this doesn't bring back the issue of electoral reform, i don't think it'll ever be an issue again.

Scheer technically won the popular vote, but has 30 less seats than Trudeau, and despite only getting about 15% . more votes than the Green Party, the Bloc got over 10x the seats, as well as 10 more than the NDP that got 2x as many votes.

I don't actually want a conservative government, but It is kind of how it should've ended.

What do you expect? Conservatives couldn't capitalize on the SNC-Lavalin controversy. Why would this scandal put a dent in Trudeau?

Face it. Scheer and Conservatives are too weak to take down Trudeau. They need someone with an actual backbone.


The SNC-Lavalin controversy wasn't even that big of a deal either, Trudeau threw his weight around, but he didn't even actually commit a crime.

And Scheer can't get anywhere, because the Conservatives in Canada can't win anything unless they can successfully piss of the liberal vote so the 30% of the population that actually votes conservative can win.

If Trudeau goes down, it'll be to Singh. But the NDP are full of losers, so that isn't going to happen.

The amount of gymnastics they'd have to pull off to make Franklin a character in the mcu, would be insane.

He's the son of 2 fantastic 4 members who are getting their own movie. Wouldn't be that difficult.

Just have him see some shit in one movie, then the next because he's freaked out by it he reacts like a child would and the movie is about stopping him without killing him. With movies in between for development of course.


Would also be cool, because they could stop the villain by doing something different than "beat him up" like in the previous 22 movies. It'd be a neat change of pace IMO

I don't see why the civil war shouldn't be seen as atonement for slavery to be honest.
Because it wasnt a war to end slavery.

It rapidly became one, because if the Union were to remain one whole there were only two logical conclusions - re-introduce legalized slavery in all the states, or abolish it throughout all of them.


I think it'd be better to say the Civil War was a war to keep slavery (By The South) than to end it. Like the Union wanted to remain a Union, and ending slavery just kinda had to happen to do so.

Its like Thanos is incredibly strong or something.


And like, Captain Marvel almost beat Thanos WITH the infinity Gauntlet, this post isn't being super fair. and that Thanos and Captain Marvel legit only dealt with each other, like, once, and that was at the very end, when Thanos had already gotten the Gauntlet

I dont know much about them. What makes doom such a good big bad? Same with Galactus.


Doom has a ton of character depth and has at least one story where he gained access to reality-warping powers, but he's not normally that level of threat. Honestly I think he could make a good recurring villain but not the kind of "big bad" to build to like with Thanos. Honestly he's a good threat for a first Avengers movie, and the whole "this is my country I can do with it what I want" angle would play off really well against Black Panther being a king himself.

Galactus literally eats planets as a day job and he comes packaged with Silver Surfer who can act like a Loki of sorts... an early threat-turned-ally.


I think Doom would be a good "filler" avengers villain, like how Ultron was basically just a stable for time while they kept hyping up Thanos. And it would be a good way to introduce some of the other "Top Marvel Guys" like the F4, similar to bringing in Quicklsilver/Scarlet Witch with Ultron.
