😀 Did you enjoy Gal Gadot’s SNL opening speech? And yes, the casting for the DCEU has been so spot on lovely and should be praised.

i feel you tho :/ i pretty much felt this way about a lot of the DC movies until Wonder Woman, heh

Whereas god I love Man of Steel and BvS the more I watched them (parts of Suicide Squad I do like, and I’d love Wonder Woman more if it wasn’t used falsely to bash the other DC films because it isn’t that different.)

But like, I’m sorry but if I could only watch Finn’s scenes for TLJ and get cliff notes for the rest I’d be happy, and I’m saying this as someone who has among her favorite movies Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith and ran down her dorm hallway giddily dancing when she got the box set of the original Triolgy as a birthday gift.

ugh, i’m sorry the story seems to be veering away from the things you enjoy most :C

Look going in the sequel series part of it was going to be a hard sell, because as I realized, it and especially TFA  basically hit a lot of my problems I had with the EU Legends (And why I realized Kylo Ren is just…redeems himself or not, that means he’s either just enough like Kyp Durron or Jacen Solo, and none of the three characters are appealing to me, so I’m not goign to be happy either way his arc resolves) with story structure and the time skip but either not enough or too much of one, that at least we don’t have a three-eyed clone of the emperor (not that I feel the eventual explanation for Snoke is going to be much better but at least he isn’t Thrawn; that’s a good thing, right?) and what felt like blatant resetting characterization to beginning of ANH, with only a few things feeling fresh and the nostalgic parts not working for me, the ‘mystery box’ secrets for the sake of secrets of which I’m giving the benefit of the doubt are because trilogy! structure! ….

but… I have no hype. And comparing it to how yesterday my feelings not even able to make it through one minute of the Justice League trailer without stopping because I was overwhelmed, yeah, just not a fan and gonna try to not be an anti-fan.

Watched the TLJ promo. Wow, I thought my apathy over KR/Ben was bad, but no, it’s outright from “I have no interest in sitting through your scenes” into “pure dislike I don’t want to pay money to”. The five seconds of Finn was the only part I was actively invested in. And re-watching that part of the clip, no it isn’t a lightsaber, dammit. Everything with Rey, I’m surprised at how little I care when I feel I should. Family trip I’ll go see it in theaters; Star Wars is an event film. But the super-fan me of ten years ago would not believe today.

Denethor was a man of great strength of will, and maintained the integrity of his personality until the final blow of the (apparently) mortal wound of his only surviving son. He was proud, but this was by no mean merely personal: he loved Gondor and its people, and deemed himself appointed by destiny to lead them in his desperate time. And in second place the Anor-stone was his by right, and nothing but expediency was against his use of it in his grave anxieties.

I was looking at that embroidery reference picture you just posted and remembering your Edain craze in Second Age Valinor. Do you think that part of it might have been a fashion for basing your personal sigils on Edain patterns? (Because that sort of embroidery would be pretty easy to do that with for women at least.)

Oh yes! And I made the connection between those circular patterns and the sigils right away (lol of course). If they didn’t have a sigil yet, I would imagine young elves using Edain patterns as a fad/starting point. And if they did, especially women as they had round sigils already, hemming their ‘Edain-style’ garments with their sigils. (Which, I figured those elven heraldic symbols were more like kamons sewn on court garments instead of painted on shields)
