Sure, I love watching MM, badly dubbed by AI, in a completely obnoxious and uncanny valley commercial. We've replaced quality with a shit machine, there's only shit now, we all must eat shit so the economy doesn't crash.

The Best Star Wars is the Clone Wars/Rebels Animated series arc, as it's the truest, twenty two minutes serial aimed at children, most consistent, expression of George Lucas' original concept of revival of Flash Gordon. All the movies are a bit messy in one way or another.

I think all those Princesse Diaries, Marry the Prince, rom-coms cooked a lot of people's brains when it comes to Monarchy. Like they watch those and think that's Monarchy, never understanding real Monarchy, like the Windsors, only works with a sword of Damocles over their head.
