Heyy lets not forget, kids (me included) loved Darth Maul. People complain about the choreography being "impractical" and "unrealistic" now but the final battle is so damn hype with Duel of the Fates blasting...

Yessss... The belt had too many legitimate grievances and reasons to go to war, so Marco has to go full pride obsessed joker mode. At least Drummer, Ashford & co get a couple good belter pirate moments before they join a corporate alliance with empire.
yoo who leaked the next elden ring dlc?
So who do they team up to fight in the third act?
They already handwring about the Haitian revolution, John Brown, Nat Turner & other slave revolts, they just know they probably couldn't get away with saying it for US slavery as a whole. It'll probably enter the discourse sooner than later
genetic essentialist...misandry...? Idk?
Had a weird day in one HS bio class where the teacher put some emphasis on how "since men are born with XY chromosomes they are genetically inferior to women who have more genetic material in their XX"
Just a weird memory your story dredged up
Wasn't my teacher but my brother had an AP world history class where the teacher couldn't be fucked to pronounce Chinese names correctly - went off about "Zee Jinping pong [RACIST RHYME WITH PING PONG] who cares..."
I had a libertarian history teacher in HS who had the class watch V for Vendetta and had the class do projects about it; she was convinced the regime in V was a leftist state.
Maybe some people shouldn't be allowed to teach impressionable kids.
My classic go-to's are usually DBZ/DBS, Cowboy Bebop, Space Dandy, Samurai Champloo, FMA:B, and Trigun. Some people like the Jojo and HxH dubs but I've only ever watched them subbed.
I thought the AoT dub was decent, but it's AoT and therefore you shouldn't watch it lol
If you're looking for movies, the Ghibli catalogue usually have very good dubs. I'm a fan of the Princess Mononoke and Porco Rosso dubs myself.
Uhmm ackshually he wasn't a samurai, he was just a retainer to the shogun who was given the weapons of office, traveled with his retinue, given residence, and fought with him. There's a big difference.
Where he was a giant axe wielding dude with a bear guardian spirit, it's hype as fuck
Oh he's 100% a wasted character and an underwhelming plot device - wish he had more compelling ties to the story and characters, but purely from an aesthetic and action perspective he's very well done IMO. Kid me was already on the shit that I currently love doing with fiction: I assumed he was just "some new dark jedi" that surely must have been doing evil somewhere in the huge expansive universe, and that his story had only started intersecting with the main characters' now. Obviously it didn't turn out anything like this lol.
On the one hand I love expanding the scope and feel of a setting by making it detailed and fleshed out but having a bit of mystery is key, otherwise you end up like a lot of new star wars, mcu, trek, etc. media that just has to explain every little thing you've ever seen on screen
