[mention]ahill1[/mention] The song has good instrumental and lyrics with a decent way of conveying a protest against the IRA bombings. The vocals are fine as well, though I personally find the way the singer says Zombie in the chorus to be slightly grating.

[mention]Pocket-Gog~[/mention] I have been follow Star Wars Theory's Vader fan film for a while. The first episode was OK. It could've done without the dream sequence being obvious and unessential, especially when the nightmare of Padme tormenting Vader in his nightmares has already been done in Legends novels and Disney Canon comics, but it was an alright set up for this arc and far better than any Live Action thing Disney has actually done with the franchise.

Very flawed when considering it has both the major flaws of anarchy and libertarianism, as well as leaning towards the poster boy of flawed ideologies that is communism. I do agree with the stance of free market capitalism, but the ideology's stance on market is a contradiction in itself. By abandoning a common ground of standard currency in favour of trade, one cannot maintain a strong economy as it has nothing to build its foundation on without an agreed upon standard.

How was your Christmas?
Honestly, quite stressful. I was cooking Christmas dinner for 2 of my relatives as all the other relatives had to isolate themselves due to having quite a serious illness, so there was a lot of pressure on me there when I haven't done a Christmas dinner before. Nevertheless, it turned out fine after all the cooking was done, even if the absence of so much of the family made it feel lacking compared to previous Christmases.

Season 3 ATLA, The Queer Legends of Korra or Fullbring?
ATLA Season 3 >>> Fullbring > Legend of Whorra

Season 3 of ATLA still had a few good episodes such as the beach episode being a good way of fleshing out Azula's character an putting her in a vastly different situation than usual, or the episode where Aang and Zuko go into the Fire Bending Temple. Fullbring was worthless :trash and a bad YYH ripoff, but it at least had some role to play in the following arc by being a counter to the Quincies (I think, at least, since I dropped that arc long before they played a role) and it was honestly not too much worse than what had already been close to rock bottom with the Arrancar War and probably still better than the Thousand Year Blood War. By comparison, Legend of Whorra is a bastardisation of all the positives of the original such as the interesting world building, the necessity of training and having and its main cast still having interesting traits regardless of Season 3 butchering many of them, whilst Korra's steampunk world is nonsensical in itself and as an evolution, Korra can easily use multiple elements without any training and the main cast are either part of this Mary Sue's harem or not relevant enough to the plot to stand out. Also, rather than helping bridge the gap between the timeskip that would otherwise be helpful in showing events that would be just relegated to comics despite their importance on the narrative, it goes the route of The Force Awakens by just ignoring all that and just making it's own story where the most ties you'll see to events from ATLA are cameos. It ranks below Fullbring as whilst both are worthless, Fullbring at least isn't the bottom of its franchise's barrel (and for all Bleach's faults, at least it never pandered to SJWs, unless you count those 2 psuedo-comic relief trannies as pandering).

My apologies if this has been asked already but how would you rank the JoJo parts in order of your favorite to least favorite?

I'd probably say the most I have is a big indifference towards Jotaro, Jonathan, Giorno and Gappy, but they're still no worse than just average.

I did. It's honestly to be expected, given Disney's business practices, yet a scummy decision nonetheless to back-peddle on their word due to the positive reception a fan film was getting compared to their official works.

Just passing by to tell yea that LucasFilm cut Disney's shit off about monetizing the film.

And since I mentioned it, have you watched Vader's fan film? Would you recommend it?

Already found out about it. Proof once again Lucasfilm should've never been bought by Disney.

I have, as I told Gog a few pages back. It's alright, even if the main part of the dream sequence has already been done in both Canon and Legends and cutting it could've left a lot more time for more important plot events. Still, for a fan work, it does a far better job at consistent storytelling thus far than anything since the Disney takeover and looks better than any of their side projects. You know Disney are doing a poor job when a short part of a fan film still looks better than half of Rebels and Resistance in general.
