In a perfect world, Arcane Season 2 would have been centered on Vi and Jinx trying to uphold the opposing legacies of their dead dads Vander and Silco respectively while at war with each other and grieving, and there would be a million tiktok parallelism edits of them with the song Papaoutai by Stromae
...Am I the only one who hates the ship of Average Guy™ with Devon? It's just such hetslop to me idk. Like the only reason (I've seen) people ship them is that he's Teenage Boy and she is Teenage Girl. Like ship who you want and ik people have their reasons but they're just. Eh.
Much better as friends imo.

Big controversial opinion coming up, but, Duel of the Fates....was not darth maul's theme.
It had a specific purpose in the prequels, based on the time I've heard it. Once, in the darth maul fight, obviously, where, who lived or died would decide the fate of anakin. Second, in attack of the clones, when anakin rushes to save shmi, where her death would push anakin to the dark side. A third time, in revenge of the sith, when yoda battles sidious, who holds such fate over anakin.
The thing is, whats lost on using this theme for darth maul, is that, he would absolutely want this to be his theme. Maybe they're silly lego specials, but those properties where he sings it may be accurate to that desire. Maybe its a headcanon or me playing death of the author, but I think maul would want to claim this theme because he wants to have a role in fate.
But he doesn't.
The one theme we know was designed specifically for him, is in rebels. A subtle tune. One that sticks in the shadows. The notes progress higher and higher, but go back down slightly. The tune after, feels unsure. The more we hear this, the sadder Kevin Kiner makes it sound. The tune never really amounts to anything.
And I think shadow lord could have absolutely added to this--if not for the marketing. Because in the first episode, we hear duel of the fates play, more loudly and bombastic than we've ever heard(thank the current state of cinematic music smh), and its when we don't know very much about him. Skip ahead to episode 8, he's in the tunnel, he cries, but then he puts the mask back on, and when he stands up, you can hear the theme play, albeit in a blink and you'll miss it way. I really wish this was more expanded on. The marketing kind of makes it fall apart, because it absolutely used the song as just "the darth maul aura farm song"
I just thought this revelation was really interesting. There's a gap between who he wants to be, and who he is, or you could even argue, who he knows himself to be.
yes I love the actually haunting Maul theme that leans into the tragedy and circular nature of his character rather than aura farming
A bit of it is also here when Devon joins Maul in the final moments of the show.
What I really like abou Devon and Master Daki as a dynamic is that you can tell exactly what the Council was going for in their apprenticeship and where it went wrong. Master Daki is a very traditional Jedi but is sometimes too passive when action is needed. Devon has minor issues with pride and resentment. You put them together, and Devon could help Master Daki adjust to wartime while Master Daki could teach her humility and restraint.
Except that the entire Jedi Order fell down around their ears, they went deeper into their flaws out of trauma, and the things they were supposed to temper in each other became a wedge that drove them apart.
Shadow Lord series finale prediction
have we ever taken a second to think about the fact that captain rex had to dye his buzz cut blonde
I genuinely appreciate how obsession doesn't try to frame bear as morally grey but just fully leans into how deplorable he is. a lesser movie would have tried to give him redeeming moments along the way but no, at every single crossroads bear makes the wrong choice. when the customer service rep asks him if he wants to cancel his wish, he says no, and asks to alter it. when nikki, the real one, begs him to kill her, he asks her "if it would be so bad to love him", and right at the end, backs out of killing himself and tries to throw the pills up. he is the villain, not another victim, not a confused, cowardly boy, the villain.

it is terrifying that bear only sought to "alter" his wish rather than cancelling it but what is even more terrifying is that he wouldn't even have called the number had nikki not inconvenienced him. if she did not act in such extreme ways bear wouldn't even have a problem. which is sooooo sooooo terrifying because he was completely fine living and being "loved" by nikki who he knew wasn't the real her. he claimed to love her, but even when she started acting like a totally different person it was water off a duck's back for him. he DIDN'T CARE whether it was the real nikki or an entirely different person.
even when she begs him to kill her, he does not feel even a shred of pity for her; he only worries "is being with me that bad".
the only reason he tries to change anything is because her behavior started to scare him FREAK him out. had she acted in a meeker way, bear would've lived with her HIS WHOLE LIFE knowing she ISN'T the real nikki NOT GIVING A FUCK about what she would've wanted. PERIOD.
the more i sit with it the more i realise that the title of the movie did not refer to nikki's obsession with bear but rather his obsession with her. because i know fs that what he felt for her definitely wasn't love.
oh and another thing that devastates me about Obsession is how much nikki is judged and blamed by those around her. sarah and ian repeatedly telling bear that he shouldn’t have to deal with her, that she’s not his responsibility, that they’re worried she’s taking advantage of him. as if they aren’t also her friends, as if they shouldn’t know her well enough to notice something is off. there’s no concern for why nikki is behaving the way she is, there’s just distain towards it. she starts acting out of character and so it must all be intentional. but bear doesn’t get questioned. bear isn’t gossiped about. nikki loses all her agency and autonomy, and all she gets for it is judgment
Just saw the interview where Curry Barker explained that it's totally possible to get a normal wish from the One Wish Willow, and I love the way they did that so much. The reason Obsession happened isn't because it's trying to twist Bear's desires into something evil. It's not even because he phrased his want wrong. Obsession happened because Bear got his hands on a magic item that could do anything in existence, and chose to force someone to fall in love with him, which is an inherently evil thing to do.
One thing about Obsession (2026) that I enjoyed was that it almost asks you to feel empathy for the entity possessing Nikki as well as the real one. Like, obviously the things she's doing are horrific and fucked up, but I think the scene where Bear is asking her to "just be Nikki!" and she eventually just desperatly screams "I can't be Nikki!" does a really good job of showcasing the entity's inner feelings. She's been created with the sole purpose of loving this guy more than anyone else but no matter how perfect it is or how much he claims to love her, its not her that he loves, its Nikki. And any time she stops pretending to be Nikki, he reacts (albeit rightfully) with disgust and horror. She can't be Nikki because Nikki would never love Bear, and so Bear will never love her.
Maul supports women’s rights and women’s wrongs. Feminist king

I think Maul does not realize what he's creating, that Devon may become greater than his ability to control
Maul implicitly assumes that Devon will defer to and obey him (because that's how he was taught), and as we saw in episode 7, he does not react well to people not doing as he says
And that's all fine and good as long as he's the stronger one, but we know he won't, Maul is diminishing due to age and injury, while Devon is growing
And we haven't even touched upon what happens if Devon learns what Maul did to Daki
Maul isn't just creating a monster, he's creating a time bomb, and he's teaching her in the style of the rule of two
What I'm saying is I think Devon is the reason we find Maul as a hobo in Rebels
I hope Maul gets way more than he bargained for with his new apprentice.
I hope she calls him on his shit and roasts him to his face.
I hope she walks away from him mid-monologue because she spotted a civilian in need.
I hope he gets dragged into doing good deeds because she ran off to save a village or stop a runaway train and it’s like the 3rd time this month but damn it, he needs to keep his new apprentice alive!
