I found Andor to be shallow and pedantic.

...Either that or I'm so sick of Star Wars I just couldn't stand it. I tried three times to get more than 15 minutes in without falling asleep or zoning out, couldn't do it.

None of it is good except for parts of season 1 of The Mandalorian.

Ewoks in ROTJ were right up against the line, but didn't cross it because the way they looked also served a narrative purpose in addition to their primary purpose of being a toy.

Special Edition ruined the franchise in 1997, and everything since then has been shit on top of shit.

Desperate to win, desperate to look witty. Just calm down.

Okay Professor Cattiness, I'll take your expert opinion on acting bitchy under consideration.

What about this, specifically, indicates passion? If you mean how long it is, I'm not good at writing so I'm not very concise, but that isn't the same thing as flipping out.

Human-controlled mechanical dexterity of that level and much higher has been around for decades, the da Vinci Surgical System was cleared for use by the FDA in 2000. This is just some huckster tricking investors with a mechanical turk, it's exactly one notch more sophisticated than hitting somebody with a pipe and taking their Jordans.

It's a distinction without a difference.

Rather than having some control over [thing I put on the internet], I ~~now~~ have zero control at all.

Correct. Everything you post online can and will be instantly archived by data hoarders and data corporations.

That's not a good user experience.

That's the World Wide Web for you, we should have stopped at gopher.

People tend to treat them differently because "it's a musical" is used to excuse nonsense writing and bad acting. People who aren't annoying-ass theater kids don't want to watch a TV-movie-tier B movie padded out to 2 hours with a bunch of rhythmic talk-singing filler. I'm not criticizing the existence of musicals, it's just that they're the most common direct-to-dumpster form of entertainment after horror movies.
