I am glad that Finn does not end up with a love interest at the end of the series. I find it uncomfortable and unrelatable when the role of male protagonists always includes or is always limited to being in a romantic relationship with someone. It shouldn't have to be that way all the time. They don't have to make a fool out of themselves or end up becoming simps (pulling a Mordecai). They can live a happy and fulfilling life without having a significant other.

...and I'm just here like:

"They're 9 years apart, though."

I get age doesn't matter when it comes to love, and that's totally fine! Hell, in Harold and Maud, a 20-year-old guy fell for an 80-year-old woman. But that doesn't help the fact they're still 9 years apart, so...

...I should probably shut up now.

Out of all the science fiction stories I’ve experienced over the years, it’s obvious to say that Star Wars has had a massive impact on our entire culture, both for the casual and hardcore fans alike.

And why not?  It fundamentality both changed and challenged story making tropes by not only creating a vast expanded universe that is still going on nearly 40 years after it’s conception in 1977, to the major twist in Empire Strikes Back that is still being parodied today.

I finally managed to get a copy of Rise of Skywalker on Blu-ray. After months of avoiding spoilers in trying my best to not glean any important story details besides the obvious, it is time.
I'll let you guys know what my thoughts are about it once I'm done.

So... Rise of Skywalker. Unmarked spoilers ahead. Read at your own risk!

Before I get into any specifics I just want to go on record here.

I like... no, I LOVE ALL OF THE STAR WARS FILMS. Every single one.

The Original Trilogy?

To this day, they are still some of my favorite films.

The Prequels?

Not great movies, but there are some good parts to them. At the very least I consider them to be my guilty pleasures.

And the sequel trilogy?

Set to premiere on May 20, 2021 on HBO Max, Together Again is the upcoming 3rd 40-minute special of Adventure Time: Distant Lands and it will primarily focus on Finn and Jake.

I'm assuming this is going to be their final adventure and sadly, we're going to witness the death of Jake, which would explain why he didn't appear at the end of Obsidian (only as a tattoo on Finn's chest).

The Big Short is director Adam McKay's intentionally frenetic and bitingly satirical look at the 2008 global economic collapse, and, while it does manage to be an admiral attempt, ends up stumbling over it's own sense of self importance and self righteousness.
