Decided to do a mega thread going through all the #StarWars toylines and seeing which characters Black Series has definitive versions of. Just for my own fun and enjoyment.

Starting with the original Kenner line (skipping the early bird 4 pack)

Carpenter knew what he was doing; I’m still so conflicted because it looked like a dog even though it’s face opened up! 😭

Hey look, Israel broke the cease-fire, twice, in two different ways, within 24 hours - again.

NEW: Israel informed the UN it will permit only 300 aid trucks into Gaza daily, not the 600 mandated by the ceasefire it just signed.

I also just bawled my eyes out towards the end of 28 Years Later because it got me thinking about Fennec.

Brittany Melia @brittanymelia.bsky.social · 1d

So I’d put the order at:

1. 28 Days Later
2. 28 Years Later
3. 28 Weeks Later

I enjoyed bits and pieces of Weeks, and it had some great potential, but it was kind of dashed by too much action and too little character conversations that make the original so great.

Really excellent film. I think my only complaint is I didn’t care for the look of the alpha. He just looked stupid to me rather than menacing.

Another excellent read.

Also love reading these books by Team Luminous that came out just before The High Republic started and finding all the little Easter eggs. ❤️

oh is it monday

A two panel screenshot from The Good Place where Janet is speaking to Chidi while Michael stands behind her.

In the first panel she's holding up a finger, grinning, and saying, "Fun fact: Columbus in the Bad Place"

In the second panel she's saying, "Because of all the raping, slave trade, and genocide."

SWTHRA: Pathfinders, by @georgemann.bsky.social w/ art by Partha Pratim & covers by @jakebartok.bsky.social, is set 20 years after our Phase II storytelling. It's an expansion of the era & a great entry point into #StarWarsTheHighRepublic. It features a new cast and maybe a recognizable face or two.

Maybe it’s because I’ve lived through a pandemic now, but I can’t with these people running out right after quarantine and just touching everything. 🫠

“Ooh, a motorbike helmet on a decaying corpse! Let me put that on my face!” 😭

Another 'Avatar' Video Game Is on the Way

Another 'Avatar' Video Game Is On the Way

While you wait for 'Avatar: Seven Havens' and the Aang movie, the 'Avatar Legends' game will let you beat series' characters to a pulp.
