My point is that Ashoka, no longer being a Jedi, was no longer bound by the order's rules. As such, she was free to start a family is she so desired. That said, she could have done so even after order 66. That she apparently didn't do so suggests that she had no such desire.

Master Leem wasn't the only exception to the prohibition against marriage. Jedi Master Ki-Adi-Mundi was also granted an exception due to the low Cerean birthrate. He was allowed by the other Jedi to follow the Cerean custom of polygamous marriage—he had four honor wives and seven daughters.

I liked both Captain Marvel and The Marvels. I don't understand the hate they got.

Ashoka was no longer a Jedi by the time order 66 was issued.

Also, while the Jedi weren't allowed to marry and were discouraged from forming strong attachments, this didn't always stop them. One Jedi master married and had several children with the council's knowledge, and was even allowed to remain a Jedi master, Thracia Cho Leem.

The Mercury Eight was a runner in its day.

Yeah, that's a new one on me too. Where I'm from, "Merc" is usually gearhead speak for a Mercury not a Mercedes. Then again, I'm old and out of it, so what do I know.

And neither is from the 1980s.

That's just not so. J.M. Barrie's book popularized Wendy as a girls name, but it predates the book by centuries.

Good points all. Blizzard never has prioritized communication.

[–] Sertou@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Too late. Someone at Blizzard should have remembered that "You never get a second chance to make amfirst impression." No amount of FOMO will bring me back to this tedious grind disguised as an event.

Of the 16 images, five don't count. The one with the Gorn is an obvious joke, but for four other, Kirk wasn't acting of his own free will. He was being physically controlled by God like aliens, mind controlled or straight up sexually assaulted.

I have mixed feelings. Man of Steel was a good film with a decent, modern take on the character. Henry Cavil was a great casting choice for the lead role and I'd love to see him get another shot at it. I don't see the need for a reboot with a different cast. It feels like he's being punished for Superman v Batman and Justice League, films with shortcomings that were not his fault.

I'd rather see Gunn do for Superman what he did with The Suicide Squad - retain good performers from the lackluster predecessor films but give them a good script to work with.
