Twin Consorts and Big Love Rocket renamed

Then that could apply to anyone, from Jews, to Muslims, to the Chinese.

But it is obvious that these “purges” aren’t done to “clear” their name, to no longer be seen as some horny drunkards. Which is stupid.

Yeah, compared to something like Attack on Titan characters’ depth is rather low, but still they face some obstacles they can’t go through at first time. Newest season is like LFR version of 1st season :smiley:

No. Mandalorian is yet another Disney Mcguffin plushy selling baby Yoda (absolute lol at that) taking a huge dump on already existing lore just to sell Disney Plus subscriptions and make tonnes of cash from toys.

Mandalorians have been extinct for ten thousand years, they were wiped out by the Jedi. All that remains of their legacy is some people who are amoral and only concerned with how they saw what was legal and what was not.

This brings me to another character Disney, and indeed George Lucas destroyed in the prequels.

Boba Fett.

In the expanded universe, which to be frank, was written by far better writers than George Lucas, took all the existing Star Wars characters and fleshed them in ways Disney can only dream of.

The bounty hunters Darth Vader assembles on the Executor?

Boba Fett.
IG 88
Dengar.
Bossk.
4-LOM
Zuckuss.

All were given very interesting back stories, and the character of Boba Fett was
especially fleshed out, from his days as an Imperial pilot to him finding out about the Mandalorian wars and finding himself aligning more with their ideals of law and order than the Empire. to him joining the Bounty Hunter Guild, to him rising through the ranks to become its most feared member, to his secret missions from Darth Vader in killing clandestine targets, (Darth Vader was significantly more dangerous and skilled than just a 7-foot tall force choking intimidating figure), to his acceptance of a contract from Jabba the Hutt leading to his eventual capture of Han Solo, his return to Jabba with the carbonite frozen Solo, his night with Leia when he reveals exactly what he thinks of the Empire, the Rebellion and why they are the same coin just with a different logo, to his ‘death’ to the Sarlacc and his eventual escape where his body, his mind, and most importantly, his view of the galaxy significantly changed due to what he experienced in there.

All of that thrown away because Lucas wanted to make him an unaltered son of a man who was clone gene stock, and was angered because he saw his dad get decapitated by a bald Jedi with a purple lightsaber.

And now we have Disney doing worse, with shows like the Mandalorian, where we have even further destruction of exceptional lore, just to “sell stuff”

Star wars is dead on the small screen as well, not just the big screen.
There is no coherent story. What there is, is destroyed regularly and re-written to suit a studio that has utter contempt for its assets, its creators, and most important, utter contempt for its fans.

Until they start shelling out 10 quid for a baby Yoda backpack and thermal cup.

I think some of the denizens of AD’s Goldshire are already ‘doing their bit’ to keep the Alliance populated… :stuck_out_tongue: No one needs Goldshire on Argent Dawn. Besides, Alliance outnumbers Horde 3:1 on that server! Probably why the actual RP’ers shun the place like the plague! When Obi-Wan Kenobi said “Mos Eisly, you will never find a more wretched hive of Scum and Villainy” a Level 1 Human Paladin should have popped up and went “Actually, I think you’ll find…”

This is, I suppose true, a ‘Madam’ can be a owner of a house of negotiable affection, but equally can be used as a rebuke to a female, especially younger. “Excuse me Madam, but I did not put my underwear on the top of that tree, spite goblins did it!” Madame is generally more respectful, and the two are even pronounced differently, Madam is “Madum” Madame is “Mahdarm”

Where are the Mana Bombs when you need them?

Does it though? Whenever we see the Vindicaar do it’s funky stuff it always has to descend to anti-air artillery range to do any damage, and is at risk, like the Genedar, sister-ship to the Vindicaar, and the Vindicaar itself. From Orbit the Vindicaar could probably tickle a Kobold…

I found the actor film version of that pretty horrifying, but then I really dig psychological horror rather than slasher movies. The look on the Titan’s faces was just…horrible, a driven but vacuous smile …

It was made clear to me very quickly one of the words you never ever use is “madam.”

It was always “ma’am”, regardless of age, and same with a male. Regardless of age they were always addressed as “sir”.

I still use “ma’am” and “sir” over here, much to people’s amusement when I address them with it.

Fine, the Alliance has the closest thing to an orbital cannon Azeroth has to offer.

Once the court case is over they can put the stuff back in.

Edit: Right now, they are clearly working the low hanging FRUIT strategy.

The only other piece of absolutely ridiculously useless pieces of military technology the Horde and Alliance use are those incredibly lumbering airships that have so many weakpoints it’s laughable. from carrying a massive bomb held up by ropes and some canvas, (you’d think the Horde would send someone to fly underneath and attach a few mines to it… 10 seconds later no more bomb and by happy coincidence no airship either) to the Horde airships that have two massive presumably air filled balloons keeping it in the air…

Again… a few mounted battlemages with some fire spells…

The Call of Cthulhu is the next expansion. I’d buy it.

That’s like saying lets rename Scunthorpe because it has a rude word in it.

I think that Madame is the French version which comes from New Orleans and that area, where there used to be a lot of “houses of the rising sun”.

What Blizzard are doing at the moment is removing things no one has complained about. Like making a horror film, making it an 18 then when a single person complained it was too bloody, editing out all the blood.

They really should concentrate on fixing problems than doing this PC stuff.

I might understand why they are doing this, but this is becoming annoying quite honestly.

It’s big, it’s pink, it’s a rocket and it has hearts coming out of it. Nothing like male genitalia.

Oh I imagine someone has complained about it, probably someone internally that has some clout or building clout from what is going on.

It reminds me of SEGA drastically changing it’s light gun arcade game House of the Dead for home consoles.

In the arcade it threw very cartoony red stuff everywhere when you shot something, on the home consoles SEGA being SEGA, changed it to green stuff.

Which is very ironic considering the Mortal Kombat home ports for the Mega Drive and SNES.

All the SNES owners pointing and laughing at Megadrive owners with it;s graphically inferior version (such as it was…) then howling in outrage and demanding Nintendo re release the game when they found out the Megadrive version had the blood and arcade death moves in the game accessible by a cheat command.

Nintendo being notoriously “oh no no no THINK OF THE CHILDREN!!” had to soften that stance ever so slightly with the release of MK2 and allowed blood and death moves, although it is suggested that it was Nintendo who heavily lobbied Midway to add in “babalities” and “friendships” as a way of appeasing their more hardline “no blood whatsoever in any of our games” execs.

Didn’t really matter anyway, the MK games in my opinion have always been very poor Street Fighter clones. I played them up to Ultimate MK3 and haven’t played them regularly since.

Like the case with Garrosh and Sylvanas dialogue. “My 10 yo daughter found that word offensive”

Yeah, I know, but imagine you sitting in a chair and a female employee coming to you with “we need to remove this because it is offensive”. How do you refuse this? If you do, there will be a twitter post with “frat boy culture continues to thrive, many of the devs are bigots or whatever, they put suggestive things into the game which deride women, and the management covers for them because they are mostly bigots as well”. Signed by a “committee for whatever rights”. And your own name might start appearing in the case. So you just cave in and OK the rename. And thank her and tell her to not hesitate to come personally to you in case there will be further such things that need urgent attention. There’s no other way.

I can see the courtroom now…“show us this game”…ooo what do we show? I know, Ardenweald! Bunnies, fairies, deer, it’s all so pretty. Just make sure there’s no warlocks in the area…

The “consort” thing is very amusing coming from a nation that doesn’t get why most others smirk at the term “fanny pack”.

The question of course is where will it end? I’ve said before, I hope my “did somebody order a knuckle sandwich?” achievement doesn’t morph into “did somebody order a stern talking to?”.

They will probably keep removing and renaming things until the case gets settled (my prediction: out of court). Then this will die down.

In other words, it’s annoying already and will get more annoying in the future.

Since these changes happen cause weak people can’t face reality, they will keep lowering the bar of reality tolerance until they will become offended by pure existence and then you know what’s gonna happen.

Won’t be long before I can no longer show of my big pink pussy cat form. These changes are getting annoying and unnecessary.
