Anduin

I'm just happy any time my borderline useless trivia is actually helpful. 🙂

No, her adopted mother, Breha, was queen. That's all retcon, of course. Essentially, George Lucas liked it and retrofit everything else to support it. 🙂

Probably answering Malk's call in the first place. Sometimes people want to rewrite history. It doesn't seem like the kid got a say.

I prefer Evan Peters as Quicksilver to Aaron Taylor-Johnson.

That wasn't just any big red alien, that was a Devaronian! There was one in the Mos Eisley Cantina! Natlia Tena was also Tonks in Harry Potter and Osha in Game of Thrones. She seems to go for the transformative and quirky roles. And those big floating droids, looked like R1 series, or variant thereof. I was bored one day, and went through every single astromech Wookieepedia could provide. Sometimes I think I need a better hobby. I wasn't sure about the ep at first, but it improved as it went on. Less of the kid, more heist movie with a bit of Die Hard.

Oh good. As long as the executives can keep their jobs. I was worried about them.

Metal is my favourite genre of music, though I'm a little over the death/black growls/screams. Sometimes it's nice to acually understand the lyrics.

Ooh, Bombadil! Yeah, he'd be an interesting figure to explore. As long as they never reveal his nature. Some things should stay a mystery.

I dunno. But if they wanted a flash-forward, to the end of the story, Galadriel is the best one to have been involved all that time. I checked, Elrond was around then too. Yeah, Celeborn or Círdan could pop up. But if they can get Cate Blanchett, they should.

Galadriel was around in the second age. Possibly some of the other elves too. I can't remember if Elrond was born, and I don't think Gandalf had arrived yet. But we have at least one.

It's the perfect disguise! If people see a wig, they won't suspect she's really blonde underneath. Ono Discworld book had a man with a beard hook a couple of bits of wire over his ears, and suddenly people thought it was a fake beard. Same logic.

I don't really see it. While the Expanse is another current space opera, the Razorback is a different style of ship used in a different way. IIRC it's purely a racing ship. Not built for a fight or for hauling people around outside its crew.

That's how physics really works in space. Gene Roddenberry, Rockne S O'Brien (Farscape), and George Lucas were aware of space physics, but chose not to go down that route. However, Firefly and the RDM BSG went with real physics too.

"If there's a bright centre to the universe, you're on the planet that it's farthest from." Yeah, Lucas messed about with it, made it too busy. Yeah, Dave Filoni won't actually say anything. But it looked just right, IMO.

FFS. Not that I've actually seen Aladdin, but the star is struggling? I really don't understand Hollywood. For all its claims of being egalitarian and only interested in money, there's still a ridiculous amount of racism about. There's certainly some in the comments. Be warned.
