How does a Latino get allegorical to mango? That doesn’t seem right

When I was a kid (this initial part is somewhat unrelated), I remember having my eyes swell shut after rubbing my face at O'Henry's b/c of the peanut shells all over the place. Not much was thought of it, (I was kept away from peanuts after that, and yes, I know they're legumes), until a summer trip in Colombia when the whole extended family went to a beach resort.

My aunt had a container of nuts and decided to pass them around to all of us cousins as a snack, and I remember grabbing a cashew b/c its shape resembled a banana. After eating it, think of Veruca Salt inflating but me being the red version (I started going into full-on anaphylaxis). After getting a shot of epinephrine by the resort Dr., as soon as I got stateside, my parents took me to see an allergist.

(Cue the relevance)

I was given the skin prick back test with a bunch of different allergens and the one that showed the 2nd largest area of reactivity behind cashews was mango. So, since then, I avoid mango like I try to do covid, as injecting an epi pen SUCKS. I've had to do so 2x in my whole life as I'm careful as hell when ordering out depending on the menu, and I ALWAYS ask about nuts before eating almost any dessert. You have to jab an epi pen in your thigh, and the needle is pretty long, so it hurts like a mother.

that would just ruin the whole series for me

The Book of Karen?

I would love to see a live action version of Cad Bane. If it were a couple of years ago I'd say no way they pull that off. They have proven they can pull off any animated character in live action now.

This adds so much to the discussion. Yes, let's bring the most devisive, dumb, culture war, political nonsense into this thread. That's exactly what I've felt it was missing.

Moving this away from the embarrassing political idiocy and back on topic, I too want to see Cad Bane. But it's interesting- Boba was supposed to kill him in Clone Wars in a story that never got produced. It got as far as having an animatic done and voices recorded, but that was it:



So...I guess he technically isn't dead since it was never produced, even if the intent was for him to die. I feel like we'll see him pop up again in Bad Batch at the very least.

 

[Sun Wukong]

Aside from that, I'd assume we get Bossk. He's got a lot of fans. But screw it, let's go for the deep cuts. Give me Zuckuss and 4-LOM.

While obviously not a bounty hunter- Hondo is who I want to see the most

Yeah, I need him in live action. One of the coolest bits of the Millennium Falcon ride at Galaxy's Edge is the animatronic Hondo in the ride queue. It's a perfect model for a live action version of him.

You can never have too much Hondo.
