THE RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD!!!FACT!!!

Written by Creepythinman Dan O'Bannon's The Return of the Living Dead is my number one favorite movie and the one I’ve watched more than any other in my lifetime and that’s because the film is a masterpiece of the zombie genre. I used to watch it a few times a week during my childhood and would have it playing in the background, when not studying or banging beaver where I would devour textbooks and pussy like a putrescent corpse eats BRAINS! But I always wondered why this movie above all others fascinated me ever so? It could be because I love zombies and have watched, read and played almost everything to do with them in every form of media.

Disclaimer: I'm about to go into spoiler territory so for those who didnt watch episode 5 of Disney Plus' Obi Wan Kenobi,  you have been warned! *Lightsaber sound* Previously,  I had a few inquires of the Imperial  Jedi Hunter Reva Sevander also reffered to as the Third Sister who dutifully served the Empire despite how the Grand Inquisitor has less than favorable opinions of her. Yet she goes out of her way to appease the Empire, Vader specifically. I couldn't help by notice it's  somewhat blatant Meta. Jan and I subscribed to the notion that Galactic Empire is a patriarchal White male establishment, that has been codified since the OG Skywalker trilogy, even its prequels.   However, after watching the horrible Abrams slash Rian Johnson trilogy, I was taken a back with the inclusion of a  Black stormtrooper and other eithic groups serving the Empire. It's a weak implementation considering that the Empire is comparable to Nazism and to see people of color serving th
