Damn you @JamesGunn and team, Peacemaker has set such a high bar and we are having trouble finding shows good enough to watch now.
So, if you haven't watched this yet- it takes what you assume is a one note, absurd joke character and takes you on a heartfelt redemption arc that reveals deeper character rather than changes character.

It also has so much respect for "secondary" and even bit parts...
...that they all feel like they are starring in their own shows, that just so happen to overlap. There just isn't any 2D minor characters- from janitors to dental nurses to service station clerks. They all come alive in what screen time they get. This is singular in todays tv.
There is very little forced stuff here, and if a trope appears it is quickly subverted in a smart way, or played out and given a deeper layer.

There is a lot of love for humanity in this show.
Also it has the greatest title sequence in any show ever.

Ever.
If you are a writer, or have aspirations as a writer- I highly recommend watching Peacemaker.

Anyone else care to review these statements? I cannot find the article other than on pubmed, and he has not cited his sources.
It is one thing to say "loads of studies" but which ones?

I could pay twenty five bucks on pub med, but if this was published in a peer reviewed journal I should be able to access it there. Right?

No linky?
And I find it strange that the author himself said of effects on the cisgender athelete Caster Semenya

"was not strong enough to warrant the potential health implications that taking hormone suppressers could cause."

And casually ignore these "health implications" when...

The third Star Wars trilogy could have all been about sliding back into the forgotten past.

It could have focused on a peaceful, free galaxy where the foolish- the First Order of Palpatine bring back the Sith via cloning.
The arc would have been about the rise of fascism through glorification and white washing of the past.

With the Sith gone, Luke allows the Jedi powers to fade by hiding their secrets.

Kylo is trying to learn them. Along the way, he falls to the dark side. He continues...
...his worship of his grandfather by seeking to recreate the jedi. Instead he makes the sith.

Thrown out of balance, new Jedi rise in strength. Rey, Finn, Rose.

Without guidance or records of the past, they are doomed to fall to the dark side. Knowledge, education...

Joking about backrooms and Mandela effects aside, I am not into conspiracy theories. The biggest conspiracy we have isn't hidden, you just need to look at the haves and the have nots to see it.

The pyramid is all around you- it is society.
What is a country if not a pyramid scheme?
It really isn't rocket science. Exploiting people gives you power and earns you money.
Borders exist to separate the pyramids. ImageImageImage

The term "Sweet F A" in English has a dark history that you probably didn't know.
Nowadays we usually think it stands for "Sweet Fuck All" but it originally comes from "Sweet Fanny Adams".

The term was used by sailors to refer to their tinned meat rations being insubstantial.
However, and this has all manner of content warnings slapped on...
Fanny Adams was a real 8 year old child murdered in England.

Her body was dismembered by her killer, and the parts had to be found and gathered up in a box. It was huge news at the time.

So... yeah, that is where the "sweet F A" actually comes from. A sick joke by the navy.

You realise if the Queen dies, we cease to be New Elizabethans and become New Carolines.

No, I am serious.

An era under a King Charles is a Caroline era.
Carolus is latin for Charles.
As I am a "King" technically I am always in the Delaney Era. Just saying.
