Tbf this only occurred in the Ultimate Universe. Wanda remains untainted by this development in the mainline Marvel continuity.

It gets weirder considering what goes on in The Ultimates 3! That was not a good time to be a fan of the Maximoff twins! 😰😭 #Marvel

Exactly this! Watching the most insufferable sect of so called “fans” act as though the prequels are the kind of apolitical, vacuous slop they so eagerly crave has been one of the most frustrating things about being a prequel kid.

Considering how the fraud gets off on Anakin smoking younglings, this is woefully ironic.

I’m begging for that to happen. Lets John Paul Getty his ass out of that movie already!

Consistently impressed with the variety and quality of Star Wars publishing.

Loving the ‘Master and Apprentice’ vibes of the cover!

The Dark World still not beating the allegations that it’s the worst MCU movie, imo at least.

Continuing on with the MCU binge. In summation, The Avengers still rules, Iron Man 3 has some of the best villain dialogue, and I now realise why it took me 12 years to watch Thor: The Dark World in full for a second time… 😬 #LastFourWatched #LetterboxdFriday

In short, yes.

Question Time engages in Billionaire backed consent, Reform are popular because we put them on ever single week, and on the BBC every single day.

The Left Wing are minor and unpopular because they are almost never on Question Time and the BBC almost never mentions them.

Can you imagine if another singer were to misinterpret this layered, personal work as some kind of attack and responded with a tone-deaf diss track in their latest album? That sure would be awkward huh… 😬

I have now listened to “Sympathy is a Knife” and I think that this song may have converted me to being a Charli fan. Deeply personal and a great exploration of
how imposter syndrome warps your perception of how you think others/friends perceive you. 👏 😭

Skipped over this for the most part last year, but now I might have to give this a proper listen thanks to recent *events*… 😅 #brat

Link to the episode in question below if anyone’s curious. We start talking about the theory from 8:43 to 12:56. 😉👍

I brought up this exact theory during our Celebration Bingo episode of @fortherepublicpod.bsky.social a few months ago. It’s absolutely wild, but would also be a great way of incorporating certain characters and actors into the story beyond just flashbacks, so I’m all for it. #StarWars #Ahsoka

Star Wars Holocron @swholocron.bsky.social · 5d

There’s a crazy AHSOKA Season 2 theory going around that, if true, may be the wildest thing we’ve seen from Star Wars in years.

I remember when I used to go DAYS—WEEKS EVEN—without thinking about the President of the United States because I wasn’t worried about him starting a civil or world war, making a gestapo police force, or ripping our constitution to shreds.

No sudden rupture is now required for the far right to take power in this country. For what we're seeing is a steady normalisation of extremists by the Conservative and Labour Parties, BBC, Telegraph, Mail and others. A shift once considered unthinkable beings to look acceptable, even inevitable.🧵

Still woefully behind on my #HighRepublic reading, but I did finish ‘Escape From Valo’ yesterday and this passage really stayed with me. The authors behind this era are just so good at these moments of emotional profundity. 😊📖 #StarWars @djolder.bsky.social @crashwong.bsky.social

Sabé has been my favourite element of the Greg Pak Darth Vader series, and more Keira Knightley in #StarWars is an automatic win anyway so this is music to my ears!

‘The Queen’s Shadow’ would also go unbelievably hard as a title! #DoIt

Star Wars Holocron @swholocron.bsky.social · 9d

Keira Knightley wants a Sabé spin-off

“Do you think I'm going to get a spinoff? We'll go pitch it to Disney. I should be getting the spin-off. I'm going to phone Ryan [Gosling] and be like, 'Dude, what happened to Sabé?”
