I once saw a slogan on a button at a street vendor in Washington D.C. “Why do we kill people who kill people to show that killing people is wrong?” It’s stuck with me after two decades.

Agreed. People being awful in theaters has been a long-standing subject of countless jokes. It’s not in any way a new phenomenon. “Please silence your phone” adverts after the trailers happened long before Covid came around.

Only thing I thought was a painful cliche in the movie was the “no, I won’t kill the villain (after mowing down all of his minions like they were nothing) because I’m the good guy!” trope.

It’s sad that they really can’t seem to get away from “guy with the same powers, but evil!” rut for antagonists in superhero movies. And seriously, the “my family makes me strong, not weak!” cliche too?

It’s an animated Star Wars series that takes place between the Original trilogy and the Prequel ones, closer to the Original, largely focused on the rise of the Rebel Alliance by following the crew of one Rebel starship.

Really? The U.S. version must be less than an hour long then, since that’s like, the entire second act of the movie.
