- Nothing frustrates audiences more than a show that's wasting their time, and that sums up about 90% of what The Mandalorian is at this point.

Imagine how cool this series could have been if they stuck with the original premise of a bounty hunter in a space Western.
That's thing with filoni and favreau,they become too much of a kid and start clashing their action figures
Which is why I want to see the Drinker review an actual good Western series. DEADWOOD.
yup, star wars cowboy bebop x lone wolf and cub would have been amazing
I was kind of hoping Grogu would've joined Luke's Order and Din would go back to bounty hunting but I knew that wasn't going to happen
@@picklerick8785 👍
That awkward moment when Din Djarin became a side character of his own show and a sidekick to Bo-Katan.
Side Character, the Tales of Womxn.
Pedro Pascal isn't enough of a minority to not have that happen to him it seems.
Even more of an awkward moment when the Disney Star Wars simps use the argument that it's called the mandalorian therefore any mandalorian can be the focus of the show.
Being Disney, it doesn't surprise me ngl.
@@jimbob4447 lol too true
The last season of the Mandalorian is like watching a let's play where the protagonist has to check every single room, pick up every single item and do every single side quest before going on with the plot.
You described literal me when playing a videogame.
or watching ur younger brother playing as luigi while waiting for ur turn
We have to assume that they're hiring game devs for TV and movie these days. (Video gaming is the bigger entertainment business.)
Nice idea for a video game, not a TV show
Every quest from Freeside...
That whole episode was just inexplicable, but what really bugged me was Mando being so insistent on reviving that assassin droid that he makes them tear down the statue in it's honour, then flies to another planet to look for a part it needs for repair but when the first person he asks doesn't have the part he instantly gives up on the droid and it's never mentioned again. What was that about?
it was the first droid he kinda liked.....
"This isn't the droid you're looking for."
It’s called character development
I was so annoyed by that too!
It served two things:
- Fanservice in showing a character we’ve seen before for the audience to go "hey I know this one!"
- Pad out the runtime
The levels of apathy towards Star Wars at this point is something I will never believed a decadde ago.
And Disney's answer to this is even more women and labeling Luke as a cautionary tale
It’s depressing, honestly.
It seems to be a level of apathy shared by the screenwriters, frankly!
The fact that George Lucas screwed up so much, yet still kept Star Wars immensely popular because his passion showed through shows how easy Disney had it. All they needed was to hire people who actually cared about Star Wars and put in effort. Even if the stuff wasn't that good, the passion would hopefully keep fans coming. A good overall story with a bit of a crappy script is far better than a meh story with a meh script.
@@destinyhntr they need a Star Wars version of Terry Matalas.
Gotta love how they waited until the last two episodes before the plot got going
Andor was slow,but I never felt uninterested. That's what great writing does.
@@FlexyCrash Andor is the best show Disney has made and sadly had lower view counts....people just want fan service and explosions.
@@FlexyCrash Andor was a slow burn that let it’s plot progress naturally to the point where the conclusion brought everything together
Mandalorian season 3 failed to do that because of wasting time and entire episodes on pointless bullshit like the ex imperials and Lizzo
@@firingallcylinders2949 just give it time, people will look back at it. Just like prequels
On a strictly story basis, parts of episode 1,2 and 5 and episodes 7 and 8 are enough. A 2 hour movie . That's it.
Season 3 demonstrates why limited series are always better. Had they left it at Season 2, it would have been a satisfying ending. Sure it was fan service that didn’t quite add up if you thought about it, but it struck all the right emotional beats. Having a sense of ending and closure is what makes story so powerful and lingering in our minds. Studios just want to milk something successful and no longer care about the art of it.
There were many possible ways of continuing that would not be whoring out their new, unexpectedly successful IP to help their other garbage shows. Bobba Fett show turns out to be garbage? Well why don't we hijack it to continue the Mandalorian show! Have doubts about a Bo Katan show? Well why don't we now turn the Mandalorian show into THAT, see how it goes. It's not like fans will mind that we're shovelling shit in their mouths, as long as there's cute baby Yoda to fawn about!
Im glad i stopped at season 2. I feel contempt not continuing. The fact that I never see any mando memes from season 3 tells me no one liked it
The problem is that they write for management, not characters. The character of the mandalorian started falling apart in season two, probably about the same time management became aware that season one was a success.
Mandalorian isn’t alone here. Many shows are using this formula today: Take a 2 hour movie, multiply by 4, and create 8 one hour episodes and call it a season.
Wasn't The Mandalorian like one of TV's most popular/well-liked shows a year or two ago? It's impressive how quickly they killed it
It was never great tbh
It needs better writing. Lucasfilm should ask the people who work on andor to give some help
That's the issue with dragging a side story longer than it needs to, can't thrust Disney with follow ups.
@@zalabit927 Yep
I wonder if they had a freer hand in season 1 because the focus was on movies. When they tanked and this show got raves, the executives started showing up to meetings to ‘improve things’.
Honestly the Mandalorian just feels like watching a video where the player does all of the side quests before completing the main missions
since season 1
And yet in spite of that side questing he never gets meaningfully stronger.
Most overrated thing to come out of the franchise tbh
And it’s a Ubisoft game so none of the side quests are even slightly interesting…
This is me on assassins creed 🤣
Imagine a The Mandalorian that is "Have Gun, Will Travel" in space and each episode is a crisp 30 minutes long.
I loved that show especially the ballad of paladin beginning
The Mandalorian episode where they hijack the prison ship, try to setup Mando, and they pay for it is the best we'll get.
@@inventorydepartment3662 true. That episode where they drive the caravan to the base to get the code to Gideon's location was also good. Maybe he's the secret sauce 😄
@@guardian0345 have gun, will travel reads the card of a man...a knight without armor in a savage land...
They could've designed it like The X-Files - isolated episodes, but within the framework of a bigger story they periodically return to.
The moment Disney figured out the little Green Goblin was rolling in the dough, they started milking the idea of "oh look another cool space adventure with your 2 favorite friends who also have plot armor"
Kind of reminds me of old time television. Not everything needs to be Game of Thrones.
My favorite part of your criticisms is how easily you show that the storytelling COULD be effective if the people involved just… cared.
Or had skill, instead of a gender agenda.
@@Soxfandan gender agenda? Do you find having strong female characters intimidating? So it takes skill to stick to the adolescent male fantasy of the untouchable hero rescuing all?
@@roberts5539 "untouchable hero rescuing all" You just don't get it do ya?
@@roberts5539 Woah someones breasts are expanding. Calm down.
@@roberts5539 Honestly, As a woman myself, throwing in “strong female characters” and pushing aside the main lead is more insulting than anything else. Why doesn’t a woman deserve her own show? Why does she have to rely on Mando to get a story? Ashoka’s getting her own show. This is Mando’s and Grogu’s. They could’ve made a Bo Katan show later on rather than pushing aside the main character of the story - the character I’m watching the show for.
I love the shots of Baby Yoda force-jumping through the air, because you can tell they just threw the doll in the air and hit Record.
the simpletons who liked this show due to baby yoda cutaways/reaction shots at the expense of actual emotional storytelling are as much to blame as the numbskull writers
@@tonypine3434 You have to admit it's classic George Lucas, though. Remember how bad Phantom Menace was just because he wanted to sell action figures?
@@tonypine3434 Any time you let the fans/viewers have ANY say in how the show gets made, you are in for a shit show of diminishing returns. Committee run story doesn't offend anyone but pleases nobody.
@@daviru02 no, I don’t
We need artists in charge of art. Not commitees of executives, not so called "fans" or people pandering to them, we need storytellers who just do their thing.
It’s ironic how when asked about how the show would recover from Gina Carano’s firing, Favreau and Filoni said “It’s a big galaxy with a lot of characters.” While simultaneously bringing in so many unnecessary cameos.
I really liked the whole "reclaiming Mandalore" premise of this season after the trailer dropped coz I figured Bo would ask Mando to help her unite the people so that they can reclaim what is left of their planet. And that's what we got with the last two, the only problem is that it was in fact the ONLY idea that the writters had for this whole season,...
I don't even mind a filler episode or two per season if those bring some value to the overall season, like with The Bad Batch where most of the filler fetch episodes seemed completely pointless but when the season concluded you could see that most of the story tropes from them had a larger effect on character development and interaction.
With The Mandalorian, we got two episodes and 6 FILLERS, THAT GAVE 0 VALUE.
It's insane to me to think that an animated tv-series that's meant for kids from the same production house has a better, more fleshed out story than their heavy hitter main tv-series.
I was glad that The Mandalorian finally got some real Mandalorian activity instead of just a noob babysitting. Felt like this is what the show should have been about, or at least should have been heading towards, from the start.
Which was fucking retarded anyways given Bozo-Katan's role in the downfall and destruction (errrr.... minor inconveniencing) of Mandalore in CW and Rebels
Thank you. Too many people have been calling this season "quality" and it just didn't sit right with me week after week.
If they mean “bad quality” they’re 100% correct
Mando for a lot of sw fans is their safe space,just because it makes a lot of money. They won't let anyone break the illusion that the show is actually trash
Season 3 is utter wank
what people?
I really wanted to be quality but after watching upto 5 episodes I couldn't. It's shame
It's not made to please the fans, it's made to please themselves and their friends.
Garbage 🗑 🚮 🗑
Really it shouldn't be made to "please" anyone. It should be made because the writers and director have a story or many stories they want to tell and have an audience who want to watch. Trying to please crowds, one side or the other, is how you fuck it all up.
@@ryanmcallen8713 Nailed it.
If only their friends were willing to buy millions of Disney plus subscriptions. Oh well, I guess Disney will just fail then.
It’s also quite literally made by people who have zero interest or knowledge of the canon. So I couldn’t say it was made to please themselves.
As a nuclear engineer without an ounce of creative writing within me, I feel like I could write a masterpiece if I watch and learn from all of the Drinker's videos. Bloody amazing!
I reckon you should try writing a short story, post it and let the audience decide.
I am sure you can write better trm anyone working at disnoid right now.
I'm sure you'd be great at it. If the scene is too slow boiling, pull out a few control rods to heat up the reactions.
Say what you will about the Drinker, but when you watch his The Drinker Fixes Playlist you learn A LOT about storytelling.
I'm sure you can easily pull it off, just please, for the sake of my sanity, skip electrical sparks and smoke from broken pipes during an action sequence or hot wiring a car with 2 wires or the timer on the bomb that beeps to the last second or the slow walk as a fiery bomb explodes over your shoulder. Now you got yourself a master piece.
@@Xm3rcyX im glad we're still allowed to knock out bad guys by interlocking fingers and double-fist-hitting them on the shoulder.
One of the best examples of tight and efficient movie is "A quiet place." Love how well written and how well it flows.
True. But it’s easier in a 1.5 hour movie. These TV shows have to be padded out to eight hours.
@@bigboxerable member the time when they had to cut them in half to make 8-10 episodes?
Man its so disapointing. I thought Din Djarin was gonna keep the darksaber and rebuild Mandalore, becoming its new ruler. Meanwhile we see Grogu and Luke rebuild the Jedi Order.
But instead we got nothing. Just soulless corprate nothingess.
That's a fair summary of what exists at the heart of KK and Di$ney. Soulless, corporate nothingness.
And now we know the motivation for bringing Grogu back... Other than shameless merchandising, its so the mighty Wonder Rey can retake her rightful spot as the true star and Jedi Supreme of the franchise.
Nah, Din Djarin was never going to rebuild Mandalore, his character needs like three more seasons of growth to come close (plus there’s that whole being-part-of-an-extremist-tribe thing).
The better arc would’ve been to find someone worthy of the Darksaber (ie NOT Bo-Katan, a leader who failed twice) who is part of another Mandalorian faction, who is capable of uniting people. Let’s say, a former Protector turned reluctant leader of a faction on Concordia named Fenn Shysa. During his encounters with Shysa and Bo-Katan, Din slowly realises that this is NOT the way, and lets go of the extremist dogma he was raised on. Shysa, who has been reluctant to take leadership because of his pride at being only a warrior, contrasting with Bo-Katan’s need for it to redeem her mistakes, eventually comes to terms with it when Gideon attacks his people, whose tense peace breaks apart, with people at each other’s throats suspecting others of betrayal. Shysa accepts the Darksaber while in mortal danger from Praetorian Guards, and uses it to kill them, and to rally the more symbol-oriented Mandalorians to his side, and united they defeat Moff Gideon. Fenn Shysa gets crowned Mand’alor, while Din confronts his tribe about their mistakes and convinces many of them to rejoin main Mandalorian culture. Din gets sent out with some of Shysa’s men (maybe a Makin Marec and an Ailyn Vel) at the end of the season to hunt down a shipment of beskar Gideon sent to the Unknown Regions.
Meanwhile Grogu finally grows a little bigger, we see more early apprentices of Luke, who travels to former Jedi and Sith planets like Ossus, Korriban etc. Grogu hones his control of the Force, and towards the end of the season, senses Din’s struggle. Luke allows Grogu and an apprentice to go aid Din when he senses a dark presence in the Unknown Regions. Grogu makes his choice here, at the end of season 3, to return fully to Din.
Things will all match up when Luke’s X-wing meets up with the Mandalorian task force chasing the beskar shipment.
Thus ending season 3, with Mandalore united, Grogu trained, Din and Grogu chasing after an unknown threat for season 4…
Is disapointing like disappointing but slightly less disappointing because it has 1 less P in it?
@@caleblim6890nearly exactly what I thought would be better. And goes to show, random fan thoughts and CZcams comments are still better than the withering sidebag of a season we got.
My favorite part of the Mandalorian was when Disney lost hundreds of millions of dollars.
Same
A drop in the ocean? Damn, what a satisfying win there, buddy.
Disney will find a way to just print billions of sales back in
@@ritagomes7838 Tell that to Disney's stockholders. They're not happy with all these budget bonfires.
@@ritagomes7838 Hundreds of millions are not a drop in the ocean even for Disney. Their expenditures are also massive. Their forecast is NOT looking good at the moment.
There were some really standout episodes in the first and second seasons I really enjoyed.
I actually liked how they tied Din and Bo's story together, but as you pointed out they waste so much time not really fleshing it out.
Tremors is a great screenplay. Even the sound editing is done in such a way that boots walking around will foreshadow encounters with the monster later in the same location. The most subtle things are all added for the purpose of storytelling. Not a wasted second in that film.
Man, I feel like every other scene Din is being saved by Bo-Katan or Grogu. I remember the first season where they portrayed him as this bad ass bounty hunter who could handle himself with ease. Ever since the Book of Boba Fett, he's been getting his ass handed to him and being saved. This season had Kathleen Kennedy written all over it.
In the first season he got his arse handed to him by a bunch of Jawas and later a rhino and had to be saved by an Ugnaut and Grogu.
The key thing is every time Din is saved, he saves that person back.
@@createdforthemoment6740
The "rhino" was such an epic beast, and its defeat so surprising that it became his sigil.
Meanwhile S3 "oe noes.. I can't swAm, paLeeZ, Bo-Karen, save me AGAIN!"
@@samblack5313 he's a flawed man just trying to make his way in thr galaxy. Sometimes the simple mistakes that you or I or anyone would fall too, he falls to them too. And he saves her later and shows her the way. They work together rather well.
Would it have been better if when he attacks the Jawas that he goes in and kills them all and walks away without a scatch? Din can be OP when in the headspace. If his heart isnt completely in it or his minds off the game however, he can get tripped up, its why despite everything grumpy pants here says who's gotten rich from his beloved KK, its still popular and well loved. It has alot of love and passion behind it and its pretty fantastic. Each to their own, i used to watch alot of these channels over things I didnt like but thry really eat into you. You stop seeing thr good and only see what a guy making money by pretending to be angry is saying
@@createdforthemoment6740 You make fair points, but I just couldn't get into season 3. I still really like season 1 and 2 but this one was just hard to watch.
@@arshadmawla1941 and that is 100% ok. Its scale is rather off and it didnt have the banger opening that S1 or S2 had.
While I do agree that there were always scriptwriting problems in the earlier seasons of the Mandalorian, at least Seasons 1-2 felt like they had some sort of purpose. Characters actually learned and developed to varying degrees by the end of each episode, and the broad story made some form of progress. With season 3, nearly every important plot point and character moment is some sort of retcon or backtracking of a previous plot point or character moment from a past season or an entirely different show. With the characters of Mando and Bo-Katan there is almost not a single character trait or impactful moment from their past that isn’t completely undone by this season for the sole purpose of selling more toys
Mando should have needed Bo's help to locate the Living Waters, because since the mines contain beskar ore, which is the pride and joy of Mandalore and is jealously sought after by the rest of the galaxy, they've been designed like a labyrinth and only the royal family and those entrusted by them to harvest it know how to correctly navigate the mines and reach it. This would have also been the right time to foreshadow an Imperial presence on Mandalore for the season finale.
One of my favorite things about your channel is that you don't just critique. You offer alternatives and creative solutions to plot holes and drag. 👍🎉
So, constructive criticism
@@jondoe-du2fr unheared of how dare he! Joke aside he really is one of the best reviewers I follow on CZcams
@@jondoe-du2fr Yes. Constructive criticism seems almost non-existent today. Most people criticize but never offer solutions. Which is why I try to mostly just listen... But I prefer to listen to those who at least try to also solve the problem.
@@BWANEMAET Yeah, I like him. Drinker definitely doesn't review to please the masses, which is great.
Drinker often shits on shows that I like but I leave his videos entertained and knowing the show he tore apart could have been so much better.
They had 2 years to plot, write, film 8 episodes (most episodes less 60 minutes) and this is the best they could come up with? Remember when shows had 24 or 26 episodes per season!
true, but in all fairness, no TV sci-fi of the 90's had special effects on par with this show.
@@meerkatattack BRO THESE PEOPLE are delusional. For real. If this show was exactly as they're saying, they would still find sh*t to complain about.
@@meerkatattack They should have spent the money on decent screenwriters.
Actually, not quite. Cara Dune was supposed to be a big part of the show but she got cancelled by Kathleen Kennedy over some really really stupid shit she said on Twitter so they basically had to rewrite the whole third season. Then Kathleen Kennedy also had Mando and Grogu reunite in the Book of Boba Fett, which was never Jon Favreou's idea and actually caused him to threaten to resign, but somehow they convinced him to stay... And rewrite the entire third season again.
I do definitely agree though that a lot of shows these days would benefit from longer seasons
Technically, the original homeworld of the Mandalorians was none other than Coruscant itself. Of course this was so long ago that most of the Mandos themselves don't even know this. Also, the combined flight time for that N1 starfighter to get from Mandalore to Tatooine and back again would have been roughly 36 hours.
The episode where the pirates invade Navarro was by far the highlight of the season for me. Seriously, the dialogue, writing, action, and pacing of that episode was phenomenal. I wish it carried over into the other ones
Din Djarin: *removes helmet*
The Armorer: "You are no longer Mandalorian."
Bo-Katan: *removes helmet*
The Armorer: "You walk both worlds."
Double standards in a nutshell.
LAZY WRITING!
I think they're different sects of Mandos. In Katan's case helmets are optional.
The Armorer: "You are no longer Mandalorian, and we don't believe that you can be redeemed, but please keep Beskar armor and Darksaber as our religious cult is conveniently very flexible when it comes to rules!"
The double standard that applies to everything on the left, perfectly illustrated here. Mando serves their helmet cult faithfully his whole life, has one slip up, and is outcast. Bo-Katan trashes the helmet cult her whole life, eventually makes some bare minimum effort to appease them, and is now their leader basically.
Din is a Republican, Bo is a Democrat.
It's astonishing how a studio with so much money, a bulletproof IP, any talent it wanted...That also initially had the goodwill of the fans, pissed it up the wall so spectacularly.
How?
perhaps its not bulletproof after all
Two words: Kathleen Kennedy.
Star Wars is two great movies and an okay conclusion.
The rest is basically the result of a manic episode.
They drank too much Bud Light.
@@deriznohappehquite L take
Kyle Katarn's story within the Jedi Knight games, before being retardedly retconned by Disney, were a phenomenal ride through an epic character's life.
Knights of the Old Republic 1 & 2 were some of the best RPGs of their time. Revan and The Exile are sick characters, and they have awesome supporting casts.
Star Wars Rogue Squadron 1, 2 & 3 expanded on film characters by a mile and made the piloting scenes from the movies feel THAT much more epic because we'd actually BEEN behind the stick of an X-Wing.
Star Wars was so much more than "a CouPlE mOvIeS" to many people before Disney came in and fucked it up royal.
Stop pretending otherwise to defend a soulless mouse-head corporation, you shill.
I liked the slow pace of The Mandalorian, where he's doing simple/mundane things like fixing his armour, going after a bounty, taking his time to look around, or even shopping with Grogu.
It's like an "in the life" series of a Star Wars character.
But after a while... ehhh.
You are pretty kind Drinker, to not talk about some of the gaping plot holes exposed by the end of the newest season. Not even mentioning the bizarre adoption / water baptism at the end, and then Mando not even being honored or anything....and then basically forced to leave and go explore. Not like we just reclaimed our homeworld and theres probably like plenty of work and help needed. I used to write comics as a child around the age of 10-14 that made more sense.
Pretty insulting they made Bo Katan a leader after she failed being that spectacularly 2 times before
and failed again, this time the Darksaber is gone 😂
Also change her whole personality
Americans elected Trump so...stranger things have happened before...
@@ritagomes7838 Trump was better than Biden and Obama
Honestly,they should have waited till ahsoka and give the darksaber back to Sabine. She 10x more deserving and Better tha Bo or din
I remember watching the mandalorian over 2 years ago and finishing season 2 just thinking "damn i hope they don't turn it into a flop next season".
I was hopeful when the season 3 trailer came out, but all was dashed away once the reviews of the first episodes started pouring in. I have not seen the show myself. I was thinking about it until season 3 showed its teeth, or lack thereof.
RIP
Good job. You jinxed it.
Just kidding. It was inevitable that they'd ruin it.
@@silencedmaxim5889 no
Some of the episodes are pretty good but half of them you can skip without missing much.
You know what would have been cool? A season where Mando is a kickass bounty hunter.
He's not even that kickass at all
The thing is, I think it was written in 5 minutes. I think Book of Boba Fett torpedoed the ideas they had for season 3 and they had to rethink it very quickly. I think it was going to be a 50/50 between mando and grogu originally
I was really difficult to remain a hold out after the Lizzo and Jack Black episode, but the real deal breaker for me was how Bo Katan ends up being essentially gifted the dark saber. Remember there was this whole drama before about how it can't be gifted and it can only be won by duel or battle. Like the show is seriously so afraid to take any risks now and essentially just closed off massive potential for a climactic rivalry between Katan an Djarin. And if all that wasn't bad enough, the finale was only 38 minutes.
As if Ding Djurin would ever grow some balls and have any ambitions LOL
Women can’t achieve anything, they need to be gifted everything.
THIS, she didn't win it by killing the spider droid thing, and then as if grogu with the IG-12 mech and the jack black and lizzo episodes were goofy enough the bullshit with the darksaber got me to stop watching, this whole season has felt like a nightmare of a fever dream.
Well the darksaber got destroyed by Gideon's kung-fu grip so I guess none of it really matters anyway.
Isn’t that the point? They have to move past the traditions that divided them and unite
I want to see more scenes of that scientist taking long, slow walks up and down very long hallways. That was riveting.
It was almost as good as the "dwarves doing the washing up" scene in the hobbit film
Spoiler alert!!
You mock, but that scientist got more character development then the mandalorian this season
And sucking on plastic glowing "ice lollys".
As someone who enjoys slow walks up and down long hallways (in decrepit ancient space civilisations), and dwarves doing the washing up - you'd be surprised that most scifi and fantasy isn't just lasers or axes being embedded in heads. Well at least not the shit stuff.
Stories that move at snails pace in order to maximise the amount of screen time are what streaming services specialise in. I rarely make it past episode 2 in any series for that very reason.
I actually read a good story years ago that used "The Way" well
It was mentioned only a few times to show how important it was ending with a duel for heirship of a clan. The two friends had beat the dishonorable opponents to end up facing each other in an honorable duel, the loser was spared an inch of his life and helped up by the winner then raised the winner hand together and declared "This is The Way"
I still believe it were the Disney Executives, completely disconnected from reality, that forced the writers to bring Grogu back to Mando for absolutely no other reason than to keep their toylines going and "because girls watch it for Grogu". My girlfriend wanted to watch him train as a Jedi with Luke... why in the seven hells did they bring him back to do nothing?
Oh please. Bringing Grogu back has Favreau written all over it. It's not the first time he does the "orphan goes back to his preferred family". He did the same in Elf and that trash Jungle Book remake.
I don't like Disney any more than you, but they're not to blame for everything.
100% my suspicion is that Kathleen Kennedy forced that change as we know Jon was having problems with her getting creatively involved. I expect that the reason we got so little Grogu was because the scenes that we’re supposed to be with luke were cut and replaced for filler.
@@vetarlittorf1807 well acctuelly he is Just following the sorse matterial in both lone wolf And cub And the original jungle book the child characters choose to stay with the cub becoming a samurai with maugli destroying the human village
Besides Grogu choosing the mandalorian way was hinted since the end of Season 1
@@benzelwasington4059 It was never hinted at that Grogu would stay with Djarin.
Also, you've clearly never read the Jungle Book. It ended with Mowgli realizing that the jungle can't accommodate his human needs and as such he leaves the jungle forever and reunites with Messua in a British-controlled village where he eventually marries the daughter of a butler and gets a job as a forest ranger.
The problem with the mandalorian (other than everything) is that they had Grogu become an instant cute little hit so they just want to pump out as much cute Grogu content as possible. So what should have been an adult grittier western around the species that literally almost wiped the Jedi order in the old republic, is now daddy day care as long as they can make green alien cute.
A friend I've been watching with says the same thing.
Culture, not species, the rest of your point stands tall and proud.
Other than everything 💀
Exactly right. They're milking the content for young Western women who should be married but aren't and subconsciously want kids, but their feminist brainwashing won't allow them to admit that to themselves.
Yewaaaag ._.
This show is like watching parents who keep getting back together after rough periods of breakups.
@5:40, "past the Morlocks" 😆 That IS what they are, isn't it! You nailed it lol, hadn't even thought of them as that but that is what they are.
Suprised how he not even mentioned how they literally just gave Bo Katan ownership of this show. After book of boba fett we were left with the impression that mando would learn to use the dark saber, redeem himself, and become the leader mandalore needed. Instead they completely undid not only that but all of his character development from season 2, so they could pass of his story to Bo Katan, who has never needed to be rescued by anyone. And unless you saw clone wars, you probably don't even like the character that much given how little screen time she had in season 2. Disney yet again subverting expectations to make a character's show completely about someone else.
true, but maybe he wanted to make different video focusing on other problems since pretty much every series and movie is intersectional feminist sh17sh0w and he didnt want to sound repetitive complaining about them every time they do the same shait
That's cuz she's THE BESTEST EVAR GIRL BOSS! DOWN WITH THE PATRIARCHY!
I read this in Drinker's voice. Good job
It's what happened to Luke. He was suppose to grow as a Jedi, rebuild the order, train young Jedi, and become a Jedi master. Instead his character is kicked to the side and now Rey takes over that story arc instead, as well as running off with most of his stuff, too. For this show, Bo Katan is now "The Mandalore".
Don't you get it? It all rhymes. It's like poetry. :B
By watching it you have given your consent. It's your fault we have awful Star wars.
Hot fuzz script was so well done.Evwry single thing that was said at some point in the movie,all of them turned out to be important plot points and great call back joke.Its honestly one of my favorite comedies of all time.
Your comment got copied by a bot.
It's honestly one of your favourites?
Glad you didn't lie
I can't hear the phrase "the greater good", without following it up with ominous chanting of it.

The greater good!
Fucking love hot fuzz, in fact I find it far superior to Shaun of the dead (still better than most comedies though)
@@dudepool7530 The Greater Good
Disney didn't kill my love for Star Wars. Although, they have killed my hope for anything new being anywhere close to good.

Saved me watching 3 seasons of wasted time. My GOD Wayward Pines is bad.
An aspect in episode 2 and 3 that really ruffles me is that in context to the season finale, that there is this UBER secret imperial base on mandalore and they dont bother to send out their massive complement of fighter to take out an unknown ship (mandos n1) that clearly breached their airspace but then send out their entire fleet to just randomly bomb bo katans house for no apparent reason
Agreed. The whole thing has zero logic. So many holes.
And she was living on the moon yet she didn’t notice any ships going to or leaving from mandalore ever? The base would need deliveries of food and supplies right?
@@Rumbletheimp2 not only that, how did they get the ties there in the first place?
There had to be a carrier dropping them off or at least a bulk transport delivering them in a disassembled state
@@Rumbletheimp2 how while living on the moon she didnt notice that planet is habitable to begin with
Din Djarin showed up on Mandalore during the new order's employee picnic so they didn't see him. They bombed Bo's house because plot needed to happen to she needed an impetus to get her off the throne
Nothing worse than a story without a story in it.
We need a term for plotless non porn videos
Or a story where a character recites/has a flashback/thinks of a far better and more interesting story.
This, I suspect, is a function of the American business model for producing series based entertainment. Take an excellent (or at least a well known) premise, run it for a series and, if it gets an audience, do whatever it takes to drag it out over multiple seasons maximise profits. Under that model, you guarantee corruption of content. This is America.
It's the Abe Simpson school of storytelling, invented back when folks would tie an onion to their belt, because that was the fashion back then. Anywho, to make a long story longer...
Story wasn't part of a deal, mate.
i remember a doc on 70s comedy show happy days! one of the writers said very cynically we ran out of ideas after episode 10 of the first series.it was always the kids get in trouble fonzi fixes it! the parents get in trouble fonzi fixes it! the cafe is in trouble fonzi fixes it! wasnt much to build on or pad out for 25 mins.how many times can we get potsie to sing?so we invented a new type of script writing ! we noticed when the fonz came on the show stopped as the audience applauded ! made the run time a minute or so less! so we did it with every character ! tom boseley walks in prolonged applause arnie takes an order prolonged applause .in the end every main characters entrance stopped the show as the audience cued deliberately by us gave them a standing ovation! we only had 15 mins of dialogue to fill! then we started to do it with lines and catch phrases fonz saying hey or ritchie singing the first line of blueberry hill and any other laugh line always stopped the show because we were telling the audience to stand up and cheer.we figured eventually we wouldnt have to write at all just bring em on and let thec audience do the rest! every week we came up with ways to slow it down and write less! bring in girl neighbours for fonzi or a girlfriend or have a love interest a mini fonz for joanie.as soon as they walk on prolonged applause so 4 new characters meant even less writing!its true eventually we jumped the shark! but wed got away with not really writing a show just a long sketch for over 7 seasons by then so we didnt care!
The quality of the writing took a nosedive this season, I agree there's alot of long walking sequences in season 1 and 2 but there wasn't whole episodes where about only 11 minutes actually matters to the story (looking at you episode 6). before it felt like every scene actually advanced the story
“Just give the fans what they want!”
Picard S3: “Make it so”
Star Wars: “Nah it’ll be fine”
Once I saw Bo Katan in Season 2, I knew it was only a matter of time until she hijacked the show and became the spotlight. And of course knowing Disney, it came true lol
Bo Katan has always been one of the worst characters Filoni has ever come up with. Insufferable, arrogant, hypocritical, self-righteous. First she's a terrorist, but as soon as Maul takes over Mandalore, she's "a good guy". In Rebels, they hammer down on how honorable and awesome she is.......Until The Mandalorian reveals she has failed AGAIN. But no, third luck the charm so let's have her hijack the show from its already paperthin protagonist.
This is why I don't buy into the hype surrounding Dave Filoni. He is a fraud and is responsible for many of the problems Star Wars has had before the Disney acquisition.
I had a strange feeling the first time i saw her
You know it, there always has to be a woman who is the best at everything
Don’t tell the “real Star Wars fans” that because they absolutely simp for Bo Katan and will worship Dave Filoni and everything that man riches until he dies. People say Tolkien fans are bad, but they’ve clearly never met Filoni fans
@@danielloewen2857 Except there's actually a reason that she's better than him: she's Mandalorian royalty, she had access to the best training, teachers and gear. Din is just part of a ragtag group of outsiders.
Man, cheers to you Critical Drinker. Listen every day. You are one of the Elite - absolutely. Your reviews are such a f****** breath of fresh air. I raise my glass to you, sir 🥃! "Don't know!" "Nah, it'll be fine" and the ultimate "Go away now!" Best of the best of the best.
I love it when you show an alternative path the writing team could have gone down. It's illuminating, entertaining, and a pre-emptive strike against any tempted to throw "It's easy to criticize, but hard to create" at you. It also begs the question of how a random CZcamsr is able to quickly assemble intelligent plotlines where a billion-dollar franchise has failed.
The first two episodes could’ve been compressed into one episode but then it would mean they had to write another episode which meant more work for them so they didn’t
Watch every tv show ever there’s wasted time…
Or ... they could have used that time to make the season finale atually epic! Yeah crazy, I know.
@@theodenednew8874 Union workers lol
Half the season could have been condensed or thrown out, it’s not even filler it’s just useless
That's what they do now, they take one episode and drag it out to 2 or 3
I am glad I'm not the only one that recognizes that Hot Fuzz might be the tightest script ever written. There is not one wasted moment in that entire film. Absolutely every single thing has a payoff.
Yarp!
*The greater good*
Still one of my favorites. I often call it “chekhov’s movie” because there isn’t a single thing in the movie that doesn’t pay off by the end of the last act.
the only wasted moment is when he knocks out the trolley boy in the freezer and didn't tell him to "cool off"
Or dark (Netflix)
The added clip from The Worlds End with Simon Pegg was much appreciated XD one of my favorite parts of that movie

Mandolorian season 3 is both too short and insanely drawn out at the same time. That is actually kinda impressive in a messed up way.
I like the atmosphereicness of it. You get time to feel the space and the art.
@@rgw5991 what space and art? It’s all green screen and volume sludge 😂
@@bikramarora1819 except it's not all green screen. It relies heavily in stagecraft. They could've gone full cg on Baby yoda as well, but they didn't and the puppet movements really break the immersion from time to time. I wish they used a CG double for some of those shots.
It's not that hard. Create your pacing in a random number generator and spent time creating setup in the first half.
Then spend the later half on payoff that were never setups. Basically, Ignore all prior setup and Asspull stuff.
Didn't watch season 3 tho. I'm just used to shit pacing and payoff.
@@anidiot2818 it looks like an SNL sketch at times man
A video game cut scene has more depth of story than the entire Mandalorion.
Star Wars Bounty Hunter enters the chat
Force Unleashed definitely proves that
That one Destiny 1 cutscene where the Speaker says he could tell you about the game's lore (and elaborates no further) has more depth
I've always said the Mandalorian looks like a great video game that I'd rather play myself than watch someone else play. The way it's shot so tediously slow, with him going on so many pointless side quests reminds me so much of a game. I was never sure if that was a compliment or not.
I loved the Mandalorian (most of it anyways!) for the first two seasons. And then I felt like it was nicely wrapped up! The big overarching plot of getting Grogu back to his kind was fulfilled, and Din learned that there were more important things than keeping his helmet on.
I was excited to spend more time in the Star Wars universe with season 3 (even though his episodes in Book of Boba Fett completely ruined the entire “get Grogu to Luke” plot 😅) but now there’s just… no point. Grogu is just… with him now?? I guess? And they really dumbed Din down, to the point where I can’t identify with him anymore. If taking his helmet off for Grogu was that important, why is he now on a one-track mindset to being redeemed? I guess he just has nothing else to do 😅 But between that and him getting his ass kicked so often (yeah episode 2 was so annoying for that and the other reasons you mentioned!) he’s just… not as cool to me anymore 😕 I gave up after the third or fourth episode. I’ll binge it when the series is done, but I just feel like they don’t know where to go with the Mandalorian now. As much as I love the character, I may have to pretend it ended after two seasons lol
There's nothing to love about them at all

Props to you for giving props to Hot Fuzz, probably one of the tightest screenplays ever written.
What really cooked my limit, Ep.1 was Mando intent on getting IG-11 back at any cost. Then Mando takes the first random droid within reach minutes into Ep.2. Cut Ep.1 altogether and nothing changes other than a shorter season. You hit it perfectly, filler upon filler frustration.
Its been a while but wasn't one of his story points that he hated droids?
@@newtpondskipper I think he got over that fear in season 1. He started off with hating droids but after seeing droids be nice or helpful he accepted them. So that character arc was finished a long time ago.
@@newtpondskipper The way they seem to forget what they wrote moment to moment, episode to episode, season to season, I am not sure even the writers know whats going on with any certainty, with anything.
yep fully agree with you. when i saw the first ever episode of season one and they did the goes into a bar and get in a fight scene i knew how it would be,, and then predictably the story of mando going to aplanet and training oppresed villagers to fight together by the power of unity wasnt far behind
There’s a reason why no movie or show uses the phrase “there’s no time to waste” anymore.
Puss in boots 2 is literally the only recent movie that i can see takes that sentence and runs with it, there's literally no filler in that movie
This was the Bo-Katan show. She easily defeats enemies that others struggle to defeat (the spider cyborg in ep 2). She saves Mando twice in the second episode. All of her plans go off without a hitch. Literally 5 episodes in a row have the ending shot of her. Not to mention Moff Gideon's escape from custody happening off-screen, with the next time we see him in S3, he's back to his old tricks like his capture in Season 2 never happened.
In the end, it just goes to show that the Golden Boys of Favreau & Filoni aren't above the typical Disney bureaucratic interference. It didn't matter that Grogu went with Luke, because Disney realised they couldn't have S3 without him, ergo forcing F&F to create BoBF to undo S2 finale's events. I've put up with Disney's shit hitherto but now I'm just abandoning them. They don't deserve us as fans.
I stopped watching all Disney SW after the Mando season 2 finale and do not regret it one bit.
I facepalmed when Mando couldn't even take a bath without Bo-Katan coming and saving him.
the rey effect
In fairness, Bo-Katan was a well established fighter and well written character even before Mando Season 3. She has her flaws and obstacles which this series does a good job of addressing and bringing her story of a more United Mandalore to a close…
Except it completely eclipsed Mando’s story to the point where there are some serious shake ups at Lucasfilm and in better news Kathleen “Force Female” Kennedy might actually have her days be numbered.
You do realize outside of maybe Axe Woves, Paz Vizsla, and that captain from Episode 7 and 8, Bo Katan is the most skilled fighter of everyone in the group, right? She has established she can fight decent tier Jedi at the bare minimum.
You showed it’s possible to write a better episode. Step by step. Seemingly by accident. Disney is absolutely screwing this stuff up on purpose when there’s a male lead.
They called me crazy. THEY ALL called me crazy. I said this season was gonna be bad. The whole point of the series was getting Grogu to safety. Now he's here for marketing reasons.
As someone who fell in love with this show from the moment in the pilot when Mando walked in, took out everyone who tried to stop him wordlessly only for him to say to his target "I can bring you in warm, or I can bring you in cold," and immediately fell in love with the character of Din and the simplicity of the show, this season is really heartbreaking to watch. It has lost everything that made people like me be invested in it.
This season is a really big disappointment.
Exactly my feeling/impression.that first scene hooked me and I gave it a lot of leeway because I liked seeing Star Wars that wasn’t woke trash.
Agreed, I enjoyed the first season a lot. But the second season I was already losing interest, and I haven't watched more than a couple episodes of the new one and don't plan to finish it.
What are you talking about? They kept the simplicity from S1 episode 1! You know just as much about Din now than you did then!
"Clint Eastwood but in Star Wars" is the perfect pitch for a show. Then Disney got ahold of it, and they decided that Clint had to go. And it ended up being luke warm modern Star Wars with no hook or gimmick or story to tell. Just another pointless dirge.
That was the plan, reel you in, chew you up, spit you put. Disney truly hates the fandom.
i'm so glad i'm not the only one who thought about the morlocks.
The biggest issue I have with season 3 was that the majority of it wasn’t about Mando and Grogu. Instead they focused more on Bo Katan who was boring as shit and made no sense to keep in it other than diversity.
When Bo Katan was elevated to leader, I was actually just waiting for Din Jardin to die in the season finale and Bo Katan becoming "The Mandalorian". Because Kathleen said so.
Nah, they'll have his stunt double die in the first episode of season 4 using pre-recorded stock footage and random grunts. Like when they killed off Chef in South Park.
Bo Katans rise to power is Filoni stroking his OC characters... yet again. He did the same thing in Rebels but then he had people reigning him in so it did not go as far at did now.
As a character Din is dead, Grogu and him are pretty much only in this show for marketing purposes.
@@pyorre2441 That's why I don't really care for Filoni. He's made some good characters but, he's made some utter garbage as well. It seems like all he really cares about is elevating the characters he's created, and he doesn't mind screwing up other aspects of the canon at times to do it either. I lost my patience for him when they revealed that Omega from Bad Batch is a pure clone of Jango Fett. That's not how cloning works, and the Kaminoans are supposed to be some of the best cloners and genetic engineers in the SW universe. It's simply not possible for a Kaminoan to make a clone using completely unaltered DNA from Jango and end up making a blonde girl.
6:39 "all of this stuff is made to waste time" perfect description for Disney
That seems like every Disney+ show from what I can tell.
Disney ever since 2016 ended and 2017 began
Heisenburger.
The Drinker reviews, the Drinker critiques and the Drinker fixes... all in one! Fantastic.
That's a fast paced video for you, one that gets right to the point!
I like the part where Mando strips off his armor and dives into the waters just for Prince to tell him "That's not Lake Minnetonka."
I hope one day someone does a full montage of Mando walking so we can see how many times in different environments he did it and how long we wasted watching him walk around.
Yes, do a complete video montage of Din walking and set it to Bittersweet Symphony by Verve
Death stranding Mandalorian edition
If we combine that and driving scenes where nothing happens we would have around 30-40 minutes, which sounds like a lot, but that's like, what, 1 season of sex scenes from GoT? Old GoT
Sex scenes > Walking… Fool.
@@DukeJon1969 at least you can play death stranding so it's nowhere this much boringgg
This show has so much potential,and so much love and fan base it has when it came out on Disney+. Of course we can’t have any good and decent show these days.
We do have good tv shows these days like Better call Saul and The boys to name a few.
It never was good and had no potential.
The first season and a bit into second season was merely "OK", because it was repurposed script from a canned project, but even the basic premise was bad enough as to prevent any meaningful developments, for example, the badly articulated puppet (more like a stuffed toy, to be honest) baby yoda being completely inept piece of furniture at the ripe age of 50, where Yoda himself was well into his Jedi Knight phase and clocked Jedi Master by the time he was 100, if not earlier.
And then the pacing of the entire show completely did not, at any point, warrant a 40+ minute runtime per episode. Most of the time it didn't even warrant a 20 minute runtime. It felt like a shounen anime(Dragon Ball Z, Naruto, etc), except instead of powering up for 5 episodes, it was 5 episodes of walking.
Just walking.
@@jadenhendricks the boys has gone a bit meh imo not horrible tho
@@jadenhendricks Only the first season of the boys was good. It went woke pretty fast
These corporations want most hours of watch time for more profit so in webseries they tend to waste time and bore the audience to death.
While I didn't think Mandalorian's 1st and 2nd seasons were bad, season 3 definetly just sucked the life out of this show I DONT GET HOW THEY COULD DO THIS THAT BAD
I like addressing these shows from the point of view of a writer, rather than just general critiquing. This is one of the reasons you're one of my favorite reviewers.
By the power of grayskull, Hot Fuzz was such an underrated movie. Thanks for reminding us that fun, good movies exist.
It took 18 months to write, but damn, every moment was a set-up and call-back that paid off.
Cornetto trilogy, scot pilgrim and baby driver are time saving and efficient like hot fuzz
Which reminds me... I need to watch that again
I went to see Hot Fuzz at the cinema and it was great.
@@danielwilliamson6180 I particularly laughed inappropriately loud when the granny got dropped kicked. Very funny film.
Do you want to know why season 1 and 2 worked despite the slow pace? Because it gave us a stoic male character to admire. You could see the pain behind the mask, but he didnt have to tell you about it 100 times. You could see baby yoba breach through his protective barriers. And the character grew. Season 3 vomited on all this and destroyed the Mandalorian arc
Ever listen to a child make up a story in real time? "Once upon a time a guy was walking down the street. Then he saw another guy... and... um... then he kept walking. Then the other guy yelled something. But he didn't hear him. Then he crossed the street. And then... uh... he walked some more..."
I think Disney hired a 6 year old to write this show.
It's amazing how Star Wars managed to fall this low being one of my favorite franchises ever. On top of that how LucasFilm brought Rey Sue back gives me little to no hope in future improvement...
The fact they're so unaware that nobody wants a Rey series is hilarious. Everyone I've told about the Jedi Order series for her they've all been like wtf why, like literally not 1 person I've seen is excited for it
Just write Star Wars off as dead, a lot of us have done so already.
u r just misogynists
@@Lonovavir Maybe l will if they mess up again...
@@firingallcylinders2949 I don't know what they expected when they made that announcement lol.
Thing with Bo Katan is that she's been developed in the animated shows and anyone who knows her knows that she wouldn't backstab someone like Din. Which also creates another problem that all of these characters coming from animated shows are completely new to those who haven't watched them and they will have no clue what they are talking about or how they operate. At least they've been upfront with Ahsoka saying that is it aimed mainly at Clone Wars and Rebels fans.
Also what's wrong with a more casual take? A story doesn't always need action
Are you stoned? She's the kind of character that would absolutely stabbed someone in the back. She got previously's head chopped off betrayed her sister what the f*** is wrong with you clearly you don't know her lore
The animated version of the character is no longer conical. That's why Disney killing off non disney starwars is dumb.
So now this version is a shit character.
True. In cases like these i feel people could research the character before going ham with the notion that its some unimportant, new ish character that "nobody knows" or cares about. Bo Katan is actually an important character. It definitely helps looking them up sometimes if one is unfamiliar, live action is just on medium through which the story is told. Animated shows, comics and books often should be kept in mind as well, at least in some capacity
@@darkstraylily1477 Animated shows, sure. Books and comics...yeah those shouldn't be taken as canon really since they can get easily retconned. Ahsoka novel was retconned quite a bit with the release of The Clone Wars season 7.
This is also on top of rumours that there was a lot of cut scenes from the third season. Right now I’m just more curious about what happened behind the scenes than the entire third season.
I don't think season 3 was bad, especially compared to the rest of Star Wars, but compared to season 1 it just doesn't hold up as well. Yeah it was slow, and a bit contrived, but the action was decent, the CGI was good, visually it works well enough, I think the main problem is that Din is a side character in his own show. Don't get me wrong, Bo Katan is a great character, and is pretty solidly written, but It does take away from any development he otherwise would have gotten.
Mando is a side character. Grogu dumps Jedi training to return for cuteness ratings boost
Far too many side plots
The Mandalorian went nowhere with Din Djarin and instead made it Bo-Katan's rise to power. It's like a honey trap - tempting us at the start but then pulling the rug when all is done.
Star wars is a hoax. I guess it's stupid for adults to be watching these shows or movies. 😒
This show would be perfect for my mom. She never just sits and watches something, she’s always doing something else and just glances on screen periodically. Not gonna miss anything interesting here.
It would work for me too while I do the chores.
If you look at Gideon having the darksaber in the 1st season of the Mandalorian I think they were going towards a fantastic premise.
Sabine had rightfully won the darksaber in combat then liberated Mandalore from the empire. Thinking she was too young (about age 20) to rule Mandalore she gave it to Bo-Katan. This was after both Bo-Katan and Sabine knew the legend of the darksaber and how the rightful owner could not "give it away." Bo-Katan was very reluctant to take it, but some clans didn't care about the legend and convinced her.
Gideon then attacked Mandalore and destroyed it a couple years later (and every other Mandalorian controlled system as it was an entire sector). Bo-Katan explicitly says she lost because she was not the rightful owner of the darksaber and many clans chose not to come to her aid. Doesn't that want you to know who the rightful owner of the thing was???? Why would they set this up then drop it???? They completely dropped something they had obviously setup.
This shows the deep flaws in a strict religious clan like system and how the good guys can lose even when they do what they think is right with tragic consequences. It also shows what happens when mere mortals get God-like responsibilities and what happens when they don't live up to them.
I think originally, they were going to leave baby Yoda with Luke and then do a VERY dark season where Mandalore is taken back from Gideon with Din Jarin, Bo-Katan, and Sabine leading the charge. Sabine and Bo-Katan's poor choice led to them both to losing everything. Bo-Katan was exiled alone in a castle on one planet and Sabine to the outer rim in a tower miles from everyone else.
There would have been lore expansion and a very deep and dark plot. Some of the lore behind this is very f$%ked up.
I think Disney keeps seeing the plot laid out and then goes "that's too dark."
You cannot have a show with WAR in it and have it constantly have cutesy little things in it. Sometimes the cute and light stuff works but not always.
Every time I see horrible plot and characterizations in Star Wars now, I look to one thing: Disney cut out all the dark. It's this simple.
Sabine and Ashoka in the new show could not say anything of note about their backstory without the show going R rated. They were just wooden and emotionless. We could not have Thrawn be a tactical genius because he would be too scary. They turned Thrawn into a cartoon villain.
So glad you highlighted Hot Fuzz as an absolute masterclass of film. Would love to see you do a video on it, and what makes it so good in comparison to the current sludge being churned out.

There already is a video going through what makes Hot Fuzz a good movie. Search and you find it.
My older sister had me watch a show with her called “Trigun,” which is an anime space western from the 90’s. I really enjoyed it, filling a similar niche as Cowboy Bebop if you’ve seen that. The beginning of the show starts as mostly one-off episodes, being more character driven then plot driven. When the first lot does start for the second half of the show, it does fall off a bit. However, highly recommend it to fill the void of mediocrity that was mando season 3.
Love and Peeeeeeace!
You and your sister got taste.
It took me around six or seven episodes to really get into when I first watched it but after that it had me hooked! I think I liked it even better than Cowboy Bebop honestly. There's a remake/alternate version of the show that came out earlier this year that I also really loved called Trigun: Stampede, you and your sister should watch it too if you haven't already.
@@00ammy00 We were. I got to where knives shows up before we had to leave and she finished it without me. The story changes threw me off a bit, and I think I still like the original more, but I’ll need to finish it sometime. Also, I love JYB’s voice so much. Trigun was his first role as a dub va.
@@elnathanielgrande16 Yeah, a lot of fans of the original were kind of put off by it from what I saw, I guess it was easier for me to enjoy since it's been years since I saw the original and forgot some of the details. But I think it's at least worth it to watch it till the end, as the way the season leaves off kinda explains a lot of things in an interesting way.
This is everything that I wanted to say about the entire series, thank you
