The Mandalorian (Page 8 of 8)

Bo-Katan and Starbuck are both military with spaceships and never lose, the reference is just so parallel. 

I remember Jack shooting Dana into a clear tarp that had Dexter vibes.

I have trouble understanding how many mandos are there. There seem to be like 30 of them. But then they are manning a full goddamn star destroyer.

I've been calling him Moff Gus since s1.

What he said about

Even in the original movies everyone 'had' the force, it was just a matter of degree. They say the force connects all living things, some are just strong enough in the force to wield it. When they made it quantifiable in the prequels with the midichlorians it opened up this can of worms.

I can only speak for myself: TV shows have gotten so good that I frequently prefer a good one over a movie. Being able to explore certain aspects in detail is one thing that harder to do with a limited run time.

How could we know, you didn't tell us! (And nobody else did.)

while i really liked the mandalorian when it first came out, i have found that it is not holding up overtime.
maybe i am just expecting more from new shows as time goes on.
or maybe i am seeing the faults of old shows more after a watch or two.

maybe i am looking for more then a story with little to no nuance and a lack of a moral lesson or direction.
don't get me wrong, it was great show, when i did watch it and not think past the second what was showing.
( and i do not want to be preached to politically or religiously )
is the dumbing down of media going to increase?
as the lowest common ideas are the simplest and least interesting but also the most increasingly profitable?

but should not the biggest productions have more to say to society then box office payouts?

i am going to call it now without seeing it or any trailers..

7/10 great effects, story was good but lacking a great plot. ending was obvious and lacked any real closure.
LOL

Going woke does not equal going broke. Hazbin Hotel and Helluvaboss's success proves that. As we've definitely discussed on this forum, political messages can be done well, if the writing isn't garbage, but hamfisting it in anywhere at the expense of the narrative ruins everything.

As far as Gina goes. She chose to spread the false narrative that the 2020 elections were stolen, spread misinformation about vaccines, and compared covid restrictions to the Nazis. Disney had every right to fire her. Her acting career afterwards has been basically over. I was especially amused about how she played in this heavily conservative film that cast her as the heroine, only to be panned by the audience of the movie (which was largely conservative men) who said it was unrealistic having a woman in the role of an action hero. That was just... amazing to see her get treated like that by the right wingers she chose to join.

The Mandalorian and Andor were good. The first couple of seasons of the Mandalorian were actually excellent. It fell apart the instant they pulled Luke Skywalker into the show. Disney messed up so badly with those terrible movies that having him in there was a detriment to the show. We get to see his doomed school being built, knowing where that goes, and we couldn't exactly see Grogu join the school cause we all know he'd have been killed by Kylo eventually.

Then the entire story stopped being about The Mandalorian and was instead shifted to the female lead, Bo Katan. The entire show shifted focus from him to her. Why couldn't he be king of the Mandalorians, he did everything. Why couldn't we have ever had some big moment where he removes his helmet and casts aside his ridiculous dogma? Because Disney is allergic to character development I guess. But none of that had to do with some 'woke agenda'.
