War Room Lounge v52: Oh, We Beefin' Now

Wasn't Leia supposed to be the savior of the Force is Luke turned to the Dark Side in the original series?

I remember some dialogue along the lines of "what if Luke falls?" .... "There is another" indicating Leia was also strong in the Force

Yes.... which is the excuse they use for Leia being able to withstand the vacum of space and forcepull herself back to an airlock.

I always thought it was Anakin to begin with.

Born of no father was the kicker. Anakin was the chosen one, but it took his kids to bring him to fulfill the prophecy by bringing him back to the light. So yeah, I guess Leia could be a stand in for Luke if need be. Makes sense to me.

My issue with that whole thing is that the Jedi can bring the force out of balance as well, so I'm not sure how the prophecy was fulfilled with the destruction of the Sith. Shitty Disney movies aside, the original trilogy is made better by the EU because it fleshes all this shit out.

Or it's seen as Disney trying to fix their mistake of having a plethora of all white princesses for a long time? They didn't even have their first black princess til 2009, and I belive she's still their only one and no one knows her name. The frog movie.

And she was a frog for most of the movie. Doesn't even count for that reason.

If they're gonna retcon one, they chose the right one. What the hell is the race of a mermaid anyways? Not like they took a princess from scandanavia or medieval France/England and made her black

Grown ass men being upset about it is pretty sad

It mildly annoys me that its the second redhead role to go to a black woman. First is Zendaya as MJ which is a lot worse since MJ is one of the most iconic redheads in pop culture and in general I am not a fan of Zendaya's MJ(though I haven't seen the recent film to be fair). Ariel doesn't have to have to be a redhead so its not that bad but I think she's the only redhead princess so it is kind of annoying. I know representation of black women is important but at least replace the basic blonde bitches first.

In the end I think these live action remakes will mostly be shit so I don't really care but just something that came to mind.

In less controversial Disney news, the Mulan movie actually looks like it has a chance of being solid from the trailer. The still of it bothered me as she he'd the string of the bow way, way away from her face. But movies always fuck up archery almost as bad as guns.

I don't hate much faith in these remakes but if there's one that could be good its the Mulan one, much better source material to work with IMO.

@IngaVovchanchyn and @HereticBD are not only a couple of the best conservative posters on this forum, but best posters period.

Posts like this are why I don't really take you seriously.

I don't see anything wrong with that. And I don't hold the Lawler stoppage against him, as horrible as it may have been. The dude still weathered an insane offensive and believed himself to have come back from it.

You can't hold the Lawler stoppage against him but you can hold the way he acted after it against him. He wasn't that bad but it was annoying to see him try and deny the obvious reality that it was a bad stoppage, that he didn't really have a choke, and that a rematch was a reasonable option going forward.

And honestly he was asking for it with the trash talk. He didn't necessarily cross any lines but he's just really annoying and I say this as a fan of his who was rooting for him going into the fight. And I prefer fighters gloat in the cage after a win like that then snipe tweets at each other or trash talk through the media. Its just more raw and fun as opposed to the media stuff which feels more forced.

Morality should be considered in a spectrum rather than pure black and white.
Eating factory farm meat < Eating free range meat <<< Eating a salad

Likewise:
calling someone a nazi > punching a nazi >>> being a nazi
"Southern border detention center" > "concentration camp" >>> *what actually happens there*

I disagree, I think there's nothing wrong with eating ethically sourced meat. In fact I think killing and harvesting an animal is probably an important experience most men should experience at least once and that the alienation from this process has led to less respect for our food and where it comes from. I think a person is far less likely to throw away meat they harvested and even less so if it was an animal they raised ethically.

@Fawlty saw Askren is a Trump supporter and accused people that believed the Mueller investigation of having "TDS." Fuck 'em.

Lol he used to retweet Jacob Wohl a decent amount not that long ago.

 

[Prokofievian]

What is funny is that this sovereign citizen lives with his mother. He isn't all that sovereign.

Lol, for some reason that brought to mind the scene in ''this is the end'' where jonah hill is possessed by a demon that they attempt to exercise.

''Oh are you? Is that what's happening right now? You're being sovereign in your mother's basement?''

My jimmies are so rustled by Disney retconning the EU that they're essentially as far up my as as a enema would be.

They could create new black characters instead of recycling white characters as black. I don't really care but I'd prefer if I was black.
They are doing that with superheroes, I mean these superheroes are ancient but Black Panther is pretty good and he finally got a movie. They could do a new Spawn too. The 90-00s spawn had terrible effects:

I have no idea how prevalent this is, but a black friend of mine shared this asking (in sarcasm from him, but I don't know if others see it as seriously) if it was now racist to make redheads always be the blacks?

Is is actually a trend to make redheaded characters into black characters? Or just an example of large enough sample size, someone putting it together in a compilation like this makes the correlation seem much more prominent?

The Starfire casting, or rather the makeup and costume designer, is by far the worst because they made her look like a hooker

Well, it's summer up there while it's winter here but it has even been snowing in some parts in Brazil. That's really rare.
Although the snow is crap

That guy got all the snow in his hands apparently but it's legit snow

I think I'm not communicating my idea clearly here. It's that this is his argument against any criticism of liberalism, like the fact that it might have created a massive climate oopsies. That's clearly not saying Liberalism was a mistake, or feudalism was good, or anything of the sort. That's saying it's in desperate need of fixing, and it doesn't matter if ''things are getting better,'' it needs to happen now. But, to hear Steven Pinker tell it...

or

Like...what? I'm actually a little surprised that you found the book compelling. These responses all invoke clear false dichotomies that do not in any way answer a very valid criticism of the society we have now today.

Also this:

Beginning in the 1960s, the environmental movement grew out of scientific knowledge ... and a Romantic reverence for nature. The movement made the health of the planet a permanent priority on humanity's agenda, and ... it deserves credit for substantial achievements.

He quotes Francis after your first bit in a way that supports his description. He further supports his point after the second bit. And then describes a different sort of environmentalism (that is consistent with liberalism), which he agrees with. He then makes the general case for techno-optimism on the environment. Maybe I am misreading your idea because it seems to me that he does what you would like him to do--acknowledge that the choice isn't just between liberalism and environmentalism. This is actually an issue that he sort of changed my mind on--not to becoming a climate-science denier or even a denier lite (like wai), but to recognizing that we have a real problem but also that we should not underestimate our ability to develop effective solutions as the pressure gets turned up.
