What I’m getting at is that the way you’re talking about the sequels is exactly the way people spoke about the prequels when they came out.
I hated the prequels when they came out, I still think they’re basically unwatchable. But they weren’t aimed at me, and a whole new generation of SW fans grew up with a deep fondness for them.
I expect we’ll see the same thing with the sequels.
Me too buddy, me too… but they will, and I have hope that someone will find a way to do the same thing to the sequels that people have done to the prequels.
That’s my take on it too. It could just be natural selection - noisy, young Civs get eaten by the big bad space predator, while inherently quieter Civs survive.
So the universe could be full of life but it’s the sort of life that doesn’t attract attention.
There doesn’t even have to be a “big bad” in this situation either, it could simply be that the sort of life that creates noisy Civs, is also the kind of life that ends up annihilating itself before it gets advanced enough to be able to make contact with others. That sort of crosses over into the Great Filter though.
If you just want to make one, milder curry you could do a sambal on the side. It’s not Thai but it’s big in nearby countries like Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore etc.
It’s a bit like a much hotter siracha but there are loads of varieties, some have shaved coconut for a bit of texture and sweetness etc.
Edit: forgot to say, sambals have similar flavours to Thai stuff, so lemongrass, chilli, coconut etc. Thought it would compliment nicely even if not strictly traditional.

If many extraterrestrial civilizations were nearby but trying to keep quiet, how would you suggest drawing them out?
What do you think would finally be their, “Enough, we gotta say something!” situation?...

Thai Red Curry additive
I’ve been asked to make a Thai Red curry with chicken for a larger party, and they’ve asked for the soup to be of variable spicyness....
