HA! Suck it, daywalkers!

True. I guess the distinction, though semantically redundant, seems to be contextually necessary nowadays...

I have to disagree with the idea that the world has always been a terrible place. Actually building upon what you've said subsequently, the world itself isn't terrible, it's just a rock with some moss and critters on it, the systems we've created for ourselves are terrible. That's exactly the nuance to which I was referring in my initial comment, Antinatalism isn't universally applicable to all existing and potential existential contexts.

The world as it is now, yes. But this is far from the only option, thus the world is not an inevitable soup of suffering. So, no.

This is an overgeneralisation which completely misses the nuance. Antinatalism does not postulate that it's morally wrong to procreate, only that it is morally wrong to bring another human consciousness into a soup of suffering, which... yeah, kinda'! I mean, is the world not presently a soup of suffering, with extra helpings on the way?

Personally, I doubt most people who subscribe to Antinatalism would do so if society weren't literally a hell hole right now.

I... I don't even know what to say anymore.

Eeexactly! That 'dynasty's' been going on for so long, it's narratively ridiculous and boring.

Don't get me wrong, despite what my initial comment may indicate, I would LOVE to see something which goes in depth into The Force's philosophy, its spirituality, but that foregoes Skywalker Lightsaber Fight™ by its very nature... Actually, no, acceptable Skywalker Lightsaber Fight™ in the original episodes, because those moments were used to punctuate.

Honestly, I always thought Star Wars would work as a Tales From the Crypt-style anthology, just pump out interesting happenings from across the galaxy as self-contained, 40-minute long episodes and put the meat on them massive bones! I bet one could pull off at least 3-4 12-episode series without even touching The Force.

It's been discovered recently that leeches can jump, so it's not as inaccurate now.

It hurts, why?
