"Willow" Sequel TV Series In The Works

I think it’s why many are afraid of labels because we get told to use a phrase or word that blanket covers a whole group of people and then we find out that each of those individuals prefer not to be labelled as that.
Like Dan, he is happy and comfortable to identify as the M word but we are told we aren’t allowed to call him that, so in the end we offend him by doing the thing we’re told we must do. And then people avoid other Dans because they are scared of mislabelling them.
My son is 3/4 white and 1/4 Caribbean. In the 14 years since he’s been on the planet I have been told that he should be labelled in different ways from mixed race to dual heritage to biracial to multiracial. I asked him and he said let’s go with mixed race. So that’s how he refers to himself and that’s fine. Unless of course he’s been mildly told off and then it’s ‘hey is it cos I’m b****’ or ‘blm’. But that’s cos he’s gobsh***e and thinks he’s funny

Not a huge fan of labels, myself. They only ultimately exist to divide people.

People are People. Anything past that is just sowing discord.

Considering that Dan is married to my cousin, I can confirm that Rikki is right. He's identified as the "M" word as long as I've known him.

That's awesome! I confess I don't really know him super-well - didn't even know he was married! - and I only see him when we're both booked somewhere, and it's been a long time. We mostly "see" each other on Facebook these days but he's always been a cool guy in my book. Legit tough dude and very secure in himself, was my first impression of him. He's no sideshow act, him and his boys can GO. They've revolutionized "their style" of pro wrestling every bit as much as the women have over the last several years, but unfortunately without anywhere near as much attention or credit. I guess because there's a lingering stigma around "those people" in general, as in they tend to make people "uncomfortable" no matter what they do, but that's really stupid and ignorant. People fall over themselves to praise Trish Stratus for "fixing" women's wrestling, but nobody talks about Sampson and his guys doing the same thing for a different demographic. I guess because it's not on TV as much anymore, I'unno. ((shrug))

Oh, also whenever I got to hang out with him his freestyle raps were quite extraordinary.

I still love both the Willow movie and series, and I look forward to seeing Lord Of The Rings: The Rings Of Power soon too.

Apropos of nothing, but tangentially related, I just picked up Willow on NES after seeing a video recommendation on underrated NES games. Looks like a fun little RPG, I look forward to finally playing it. I saw ads for it in like every comic book back in the day but I wasn't a big RPG guy yet back then so I skipped it. Kid Me was a little thick sometimes.
