Crude's about a father, Piotr, and his son Kiril.

[thanekos]

Kiril lived a secretive life.

He chafed under its self-imposed constraints.

The people he shared it were made anxious by that.

" We love you, Kiril.

" But what we have stays here. Behind closed doors. We agreed. If we get too comfortable, bend the rules, we could make a mistake. "

" Someone could find out about us. "

" I told you, I don't care. "

( He faced them. )

Star Wars: Doctor Aphra #20 - "The Catastrophe Con, Part I"

[laughing_tree]

I would say for me that there’s this funny thing when you look at Star Wars as a big, overarching [intellectual property] that as consumers, as geeks, we find ourselves uncomfortably drawn for a multitude of reasons to the wrong characters. There’s a reason that Vader is amazingly popular, and it’s probably because he’s such an incredible design, an incredible icon. There’s a reason that people love to cosplay as stormtroopers and maybe it’s the same. Maybe it’s because it’s such a great costume, it’s a sense of partaking in this incredible, visual world. But these are space fascists. And then you get Aphra and she’s all of those things that are problematic, but there’s also just this tiny, probably doomed, forlorn glimmer of redemption precisely because she’s smart enough that she understands conventional morality. -- Si Spurrier, on Aphra's popularity

NS: Silk getting her own film

[cyberghostface]

 

Big news, Cindy Moon might be getting her own movie from Sony per Deadline. Kudos to Sony for finally stepping up to plate with an Asian superhero headlining a film (and not having Tilda Swinton play them).

Silver Surfer: In Thy Name #1

[laughing_tree]

I sometimes have a hard time empathizing with the motives of superheroes, but show me a cosmic guru-philosopher who’s just plain decent – despite being frustrated by the idiocy he sees wherever he goes – and that’s a headspace I’m happy to occupy. The Surfer is a perpetual idealist: he can spot the potential for great things in the people around him, but can’t understand why, in spite of it all, they’re so petty, small-minded and intent on self-destruction. He lacks the ability to just shrug and say ‘that’s life’, so he wanders about trying to make things better whilst constantly being reminded of how little success he’s having. It’s a really weird combination of depression and optimism that I love. -- Si Spurrier
