And what you just described, there's a part of me, there's an 11-year-old part of me that really wants to see the Darth Vader wrecking shit, you know, mid-story movie where he's, like, having battles and figuring out how to be the real, true Dark Overlord of the Empire.
Then there's a part of me that's like, I already know what happened to Darth Vader.
I know how he died, and I know how he saved the Rebellion, and I know what he means to Luke and Leia.
I saw Return of the Jedi.
That story's over.
It's not that it can't be done and it shouldn't be done, and I'm not telling people, don't tell another Darth Vader story, but it's never going to be as special as that very specific feeling when something big and new arrives, and it can take over for a while.
And part of what I've been trying to talk through on the show for the last few years is, like, something is dying and something new is happening.
We might not always like what the new thing is.
In fact, Super Mario is one of the new things.
It's something from our childhood.
But in movie form, it's one of the new things.
But as we have gone through, and credit to Amanda for sitting in that chair for, like, five plus years of pretty bad...
Fandom stuff.
But more of that stuff was tolerable or interesting, I thought, from 2015 to 2020 than what we have had in the five years since.
That's my perspective.
Maybe it's been seven years of not great stuff.
Nevertheless.
Something's changing.
Movies like this don't happen if they're not afraid.
