Sumocatstodon: Support Blog for Sumocat’s Mastodon

After learning my friend Warner has returned to blogging at Life on the Wicked Stage: Act 3 , I decided to… write up my thoughts about Willow the series on Disney+ to share on Mastodon. I drafted it up in Notes, pasted it into Mastodon, and exceeded the character limit by 140 something. Ordinarily, I would have spent way too much time revising and editing down to fit. However, this is a new year, so I’m adopting new habits. Now I’m going to lay down the words, and if they don’t fit Mastodon or whatever microblog I use, I will put them here and link it. Yeah, I know I could split my words across multiple Mastodon posts, but I don’t particularly care for threaded posts. Perhaps in the future, I might draft something intended as a blog post (which this post is, but it’s about the blog, so I’m not counting this as part of the blog description). We shall see.

We just watched the first episode of Willow the series with mixed results. I enjoyed it; my wife is on the fence. In a reversal, it’s bc she’s the fan, and I just watched the movie last week. What can I say? I’m not a big medieval magic fan, so I never got around to seeing it. Anyway, I went into the series without expectations, while my wife could not get past hers. We will push forward now that the quest and crew has been established, but I’m a lot more eager to see how it turns out. No spoilers: that joke from that ‘80s movie made me so happy. It feels like they’re trying to bring Gen X fun to the young folk, and I am here for it.
