    I'm also not sure how anyone expects Israel to accept the losses and move on. If the US or any other country had been attacked like this they'd already have boots on the ground.

    A lot fewer, based on the attacks so far. While I'm sure lots of people would prefer Gaza to be pushed into the ocean, the end result will likely still be Palestinian but with a different government and decades of rebuilding. It sounds like Israel is mirroring the Iraq or Japan invasion method which means a tear down and rebuild of government that will need to keep promises about launching rockets and other attacks.

    Duh. Israel is going to want to monitor the region for a long time to make sure Hamas isn't coming back. That's going to mean boots on the ground.

    Other nations that want to stop this from being permanent will need to step up and volunteer their own soldiers to monitor the region because Israel won't give up the land without some strong promises that things won't slip

    Poverty has never been a major cause of low births. The poorest countries in the world have the highest birth rates. Instead it's about increasing women's health and education, giving them the choice to have fewer children or none. Turns out when they have the choice women don't want to get pregnant and raise kids at 20. They want to have careers and lives and travel and stuff.

    Nations need to make child rearing more appealing for couples to want to be parents. Because a huge chunk of people could have salary raises and homes and be upper class and still now want to have kids.

    I was secretly hoping they'd do a Trek style timeline reboot so the Sequels will never happen.

    Either way, Star Wars IP needs a fresh slate rather than dreging up old characters and shoving them onto a western style setting. There is literally a whole universe to explore.

    I wanted to like this show way more than I did. But it just didn't scratch the itch. The main characters seemed a bit lost, like we needed more streamlining to their story to have a satisfying arc. I like the main actresses in other stuff but I don't think they were right to play these people.

    Honestly it seems like the biggest problem is that any story they make up for this time period is kneecapped by having it all end with the Sequels.a story about rebuilding the republic in the shadow of the Empire would be epic and a perfect use of these characters. But knowing it all goes boom and cloned snokes and emperors are soaking in a vat like sea monkies makes it all a bit meh.

    Overall meh, I'll tune in next year and see what happens. I just think it could be better.

    Started this because I didn't see it in theatres and can't find the og discussion thread.

    I finally watched Barbie after a full year of heavy PR campaigns to see the best movie of the year that was saving theatres and driving studios to go back to original IP for film ideas. And after all that my reaction is a solid....meh.

    It was fine. I felt other movies have done the same themes but better and more cohesively. And I'm not sure what the final message of the movie even was. It felt like there was some boardroom interference in the final product because you could see the story aiming at something, then changing course before they got to a satisfying conclusion.

    Acting and set design was good, it just overall felt like a miss that was made bigger by the giant campaign they launched to sell the movie as great.
