I guess I'd argue that it's a whole lot more empowering than being born with the Force. It also makes more sense thematically - if the Force connects and binds all living things, why restrict its use to certain people?

2021-01-12 23:32:36 UTC  

There's also the fact that George Lucas based it on Eastern mysticism and Judeo-christian beliefs. From what I've gathered, the Force is similar to the concept of Chi, which is regarded as sort of a spiritual "blood" that flows in all living things. (I think.) In a review of the new Mulan, a woman debunking it's "accuracies" pointed out that Mulan having "a lot of Chi" is like if the people said "Oh dang, she has a lot of blood!" because it's simply in everyone and doesn't denote anything special.

In Judeo-christian beliefs, anyone can do anything as long as they are chosen by God and allow God to do the work for them. That's why the Bible is filled with stories about shepherds, prostitutes, widows, weaklings, and even children - it teaches that God is the one supplying the power, not the person

When taking that stance, suddenly things like
- Luke firing a shot into the Death Star after flying a machine for the first time
- Anakin basically doing the same
- Rey winning a battle against a trained Sith lord
...all make sense. It's not them doing it, it's that they opened themselves up to the Force and the Force used them

2021-01-13 00:25:16 UTC  

Yeah, but it’s kind of like if everyone’s super then no one is super.

2021-01-13 03:50:37 UTC  

It kind of takes the magic out of the Force if everyone can use it. George Lucas even said that it's connected to everything, but only certain people can use it.

2021-01-13 03:51:13 UTC  

It's like how Finn is *a* Force sensitive, but he isn't Force Sensitive in the normal sense

2021-01-13 05:38:46 UTC  

True, but they're only super if...
1. The Force reaches out to them
2. They choose to accept it

2021-01-13 05:39:49 UTC  

So in that sense, it is a chosen deal, but it still makes it so that the Force could hypothetically choose anyone as long as they are willing to let it guide them

2021-01-13 05:48:43 UTC  

Not a huge difference but an interesting one

2021-01-13 08:34:59 UTC  

Hmmm but what if its a witchcraft and its all a lie

2021-01-14 02:32:36 UTC

Easy zuko redemption ark is some of if not the best character development ever

2021-01-14 03:43:51 UTC  

The fact that they got Mark Hamill to voice Fire Lord Ozai is amazing

2021-01-14 04:40:56 UTC  

I think Mark Hamill has used voice work to over come the typecasting a lot of actors hey when they play a popular character type.

2021-01-14 04:41:27 UTC  

He didn't let himself get pigeon holed into being a star born super hero

2021-01-14 05:17:23 UTC  

I am watching the Roast of Donald Trump from 2011.

2021-01-15 04:37:18 UTC  

I just watched Frequency

2021-01-15 04:37:23 UTC  

Omgosh that was fantastic

2021-01-15 05:55:19 UTC  

Ben Shapiro with daily wire made a movie you can still watch free

2021-01-15 06:15:10 UTC

2021-01-15 06:15:45 UTC  

I did it’s pretty good

2021-01-15 06:16:06 UTC  

You can skip like 15 min in to start movie

2021-01-15 06:16:12 UTC  

Also, Tyler Perry's "I Can Be Bad All By Myself" is actually pretty good

2021-01-15 06:16:59 UTC  

I'm shocked. As far as Christian films go, I actually really like it

2021-01-15 06:25:09 UTC  

The Tyler perry movie?

2021-01-15 07:16:51 UTC  

Yes! Terrible ending but wasn't half bad

2021-01-15 07:16:57 UTC  

I was expecting total garbage

2021-01-15 07:17:18 UTC  

It's bearable and I liked the characters

2021-01-15 07:17:29 UTC  

Made me laugh out loud a few times too

2021-01-15 15:52:07 UTC  

Ok so WandaVision is very similar to Pleasantville

2021-01-15 15:52:47 UTC  

Is that a good thing or bad

2021-01-15 16:00:00 UTC  

It’s not bad
