My prediction is that “Rebel Moon” will have enough Snyder treat hogs needing to make excuses for it that there will be future “this is leftist, actually, because the Big Bad if you squint at it can actually look like nazis I guess” or even “the Synderesque Cornfield of Burgerland Sentimentality can look kind of like a commune if you squint and hold your breath long enough” or maybe just boil down to “let people enjoy things” thought terminating cliches, all the while the movie will push cartoonishly blatant up-yours-woke-moralists propaganda against straw communists. No one is immune to propaganda, least of all the “propaganda has no effect on me” believers, so I predict that’ll be a struggle session.

I expect I will be told to touch grass a lot by that treat’s future defenders if it has even a moderate amount of profitability, which would consequently make local hogs want to make excuses for it instead of admitting it’s hog-feeding chud propaganda and just eating it anyway with acceptance, which I would respect somewhat more. feast

          yes, but that excess allowed some truly outrageous character builds that 5e just can’t hold a candle to. I’m especially proud of a damphir necromancer that ran around with the armored corpses of dire lions that soloed most of the fights the DM tried to throw at us. think he really regretted throwing those at us early on only for the cleric to go “wait, hold my beer”

              nahhh i got my own tabletop issues to figure out (some folks want me to run odyssey of the dragonlords and i am Not Sure how that will go) and my old DM has been chatting me up about baldur’s gate 3 and them having a lot of “ideas” (tho idk if i want to play with them again). i appreciate the thought though ulysses maybe sometime in the future.
