Borrowed? Heh. Nicked whole-cloth, more like: General Hux, addressing troops arranged in the "Nuremberg" pattern; the battle of Mimban = WWI Western front, in space; stormtroopers in Stirnpanzer; Soontir Fel = Red Baron — to say nothing of Baron Valen Rudor, and Vault Skerris; etc.

Hell, if you'd like a fun rabbit hole, look into the Twi'leks' Ryloth liberation as French Revolution, OG Sith as ancient Egypt/Aztec civs, Empire expansionism as HRE/Spain/US, etc. 🤓

The man's not known for ingenuity. Then again, neither is GRRM. 🤷🏽‍♂️

Get their dicks outta your mouth, APN. The flick is a steaming pile. Full stop.

The Crow died with Lee. Like father, like son.

Public Service Announcement: it's also always "free to keep" without installing the totally-not-sus EGS app. 🌊 "Free to keep" is a purely marketing term they're doing their damnedest to normalize. Fuck that shit.

It's an old maneuver, but it checks out. 🤌🏾

We should collectively refer to that as a "Giuliani", IMHO.

Eh, hedging your bets? 🤘🏽🤣

Omg. This is so stupid it's funny! 🤪 Sure, why not. Let's go! 😄

I'm with ya there, 100%, no contest. I was merely being glib about "hard to imagine". 🙇🏽‍♂️ In actuality, if the last several years were described to past me as the upcoming timeline, I would've genuinely asked that narrator if they were fuckin' high. 😵‍💫

You've had several years with non-stop coverage of this specific exemplar (and decades of consistent wtf before that) to practice with, but it's still hard to imagine? 🤪

I'm not sure that idiom is what you think it is.
