Disney Pixar presents: Male-coded Racoon
We measuring Ukrainian gains in Mar-A-Lagos now.
Science fiction has always been a way to talk about the problems that you’re not allowed to talk about. It has this magical property to look like nothing to censors and conservatives while being a bolt of lightning to anyone who’s paying attention.
…And with that comment forming in my head, I realize something.
Andor is largely considered better than the average Star Wars and I wholeheartedly agree. But now I fully understand why I agree.
I have been watching Star Trek since I was a kid. And while I was lured in with space travel and aliens and time travel and cool effects, I appreciate it more now because of the intelligent messaging of acceptance and understanding that has been a part of its identity from the beginning. No amount of campy acting or cardboard sets will diminish my love for Trek because of that.
Andor elevates Star Wars to that level. Star Wars has always been a classic tale of good vs evil. But it’s primarily fun, action-orientated entertainment. Andor is much more than that. Andor is Star Wars with the intelligent messaging of acceptance and understanding (and the dangers of failing to do so). It’s not just very good Star Wars, not just very well-produced Star Wars, it’s a whole new evolution of the brand into something so much more important than simply seeing the bad guy lose.
It’s shocking that Disney allowed Andor to be Andor. Except that it’s not. Mickey Mouse can’t make a moral stand against genocide, but Andor can. Because science fiction has always had the ability to make a pointed message look like safe, surface-level entertainment to some people while also having tremendous meaning to other people.
Thank you, Tony Gilroy. Hope to see more in the future.
I honestly thought this was some special Pokemon tour bus.
Frieren’s pose really gives it away.
I want to believe that Rick Berman will be roommates with Armus.
The shadow looks like Ranma.
How many iron videos do you expect me to watch on a Friday night?
Just one more video, bro.
But first, let me tell you about today’s sponsors; Factor and SquareSpace…
“Go get ‘em, Gumshoes!”
This is when you should tip.
If The Mandalorian is MCUing, then the Sequel Trilogy was Snyderversing.

"You and I are of a kind. In a different reality, I could've called you 'friend.'" - Romulan Commander
Earth outposts along the Romulan Neutral Zone are suddenly going silent. The Enterprise is rushing to rendezvous with Earth Outpost 4 when it, too, stops transmitting. They manage to send one final message, that they were attacked by an unknown vessel, just before it is completely destroyed. This unknown vessel is strongly believed to be Romulan in origin. It not only possesses a deadly new type of weapon, but can make itself invisible. Captain Kirk must find a way to engage and stop this rampaging ship without jeopardizing the Enterprise and its crew or starting an interstellar war.
