    I can confirm that K-Pop demon hunters is, indeed, very entertaining.

    Glad you enjoy it. It's the first new movie I've enjoyed in a long time.

    and the songs are really catchy... and for once, they are not "forced" as often happens in too many "musicals"

    I've never been a big fan of musicals but old movies with music I love. White Christmas and the like are enjoyable but that is also die to my taste in older music. Danny Kay in the Court Jester was amazing. New so called musicals are lucky to have one decent song and almost always something I don't want to hear. KPop was well done with the scene matching the song and it flowed well. It's nice to have something to watch you don't want to complain about.

    I haven't seen KPOP Demon Hunters yet, I plan to give it a shot eventually.

    I've sort of pivoted to Anime (which is Japanese not Korean, but the locus of good entertainment is no longer in the West). I was recently introduced to Spy X Family and I'm enjoying that a lot.

    In a fictional allegory for East and West Germany in the 1980s, a Western spy and an Eastern assassin both have to establish a fake family for cover. Nearly realizes the other's secret identity. Their adopted daughter is a telepath who knows what is going on, but pretends not to because she doesn't want to go back to the orphanage.

    Over time, the fake family gradually develops real feelings for each other.

    And I never get tired of watching this clip.



    And of course Frieren Season 2 is debuting on the 16th, I'm definitely looking forward to that.

    Probably too little too late for Disney.

    Winged monkey is right... all Filoni cares about is his beloved Ahsoka, and it comes as no surprise that his favourite Mary Sue has had her series renewed yet again. And I've always found Jon Favreau to be a far better comic actor than a writer.

    Is this the end of woke Star Wars? I'd like to think so - the one potentially positive outcome of all this. Apart from Ahsoka at least Filoni hasn't filled his work so far with identity politics (though it is concerning that he worked on the Acoshyte and approved a lot of the decisions made there).

    Is this the end of mediocre-poor Star Wars? I severely doubt it... there's still plenty of mediocre/poor content in the works as the vid discussed, just that said content that will be less woke than before.

    Spy X Family is a great read and watch! Lost the time for most Manga as I'm busy with life but this series always is a good use of time.

    Unfortunately we don't live in a world with only good media and woke media. There are many different flavors of bad media, and Disney has a diverse set of paint brushes.

    @NIGHTBRINGER likes to talk about things repeatedly: Chaos Dwarves, Slaanesh, Palpatine memes, his Slannhoods, Settra does not serve, and a few other things.

    He used to like to bash Kathleen Kennedy but then that kind of drifted away. Here's to too little, too late.
