    The first two episodes are now streaming on Disney+, but according to early fan reactions, it’s not all that good. The Willow Rotten Tomatoes scores are now available where the critics seem to think it’s okay as the show currently has an 83% Critics Score, but the fans aren’t liking what they are seeing at all as the Audience Score is at a meager 58%.
    Update: Audience Score has dropped to 29%.
    Willow Rotten Tomatoes Score
    Disney+ series
    For a comparison, interestingly enough, the scores are flipped for the cult-classic 1988 movie as the Critics Score is at 53%, while the Audience Score is at 79%.
    While I have yet to watch the episodes myself, Polygon points out, “The big surprise of Disney’s Willow show: queer romance is front and center, a decision creator Jonathan Kasdan says was ‘just organic’ to creating the sequel.'”
    Update: I caught the first episode and it’s just as bad as you can imagine. Willow really isn’t even in the first episode and per above, the episode is all about a princess’s LGBTQ relationship and a prince whom she is supposed to marry who is a complete moron. The princess’s twin brother also gets kidnapped who is supposed to be one of the best swordsmen of the realm; so the princess, her partner, and the prince’s cook girlfriend go off to save him. It’s laughable at best, folks.
    Recently saw Disney’s LGBTQ Strange World animated movie bomb at the box office which also wasn’t marketed as featuring LGBTQ representation.

    What do the fans have to say about the Willow Disney+ series?
    Regarding what the fans have to say about the Willow Disney+ series, the comments on Rotten Tomatoes offer the series doesn’t feel like Willow.
    - This is like a modern sitcom not mid evil fantasy. Does not feel like willow.
    - Lost its charm. Not sure about the teen drama/sitcom screenplay angle. Who is the target audience again? Modernized dialog is always a terrible idea for fantasy shows. See if I can last the season.
    - Only one episode in, but so far it feels like a cheesy Medieval Times series. Then throw in a rainbow unicorn princess and a bunch of other very cliche poorly written characters/dialogue. Maybe it will get better. However, if this is what you put out as the premiere episode, the chances aren’t great.

    All I can say is I hope Warwick absolutely ROBBED Disney for this role. It seems he knew the show was doomed and isn't wasting his best on this tripe. Fleece Disney for every penny, Warwick!

    they probably got warwick to do this without telling him that they are going to destroy it.

      Unfortunately, he’s a very talented actor who by circumstance of birth, pretty much has to take what he can get. Such a shame they did this.

    I liked the first episode but the second not so much. I was never a big fan of the film, and watching this I realized why: The problem with Willow is Willow. Warwick Davis has one expression, and it doesn't help that the dialogue they give him is cringe-y.

    I loved the original movie so I had hope for this show. The acting is bad, almost all of the characters are annoying or unlikable, the female characters are the bravest and they made Willow a joke. He basically doesn’t seem to have evolved as a character since the last time we saw him although the movie left off with the foreshadowing that he would become a great sorcerer.

      I was so hopeful, but if they're making a show based on a family film why on earth would they go the direction of modern valley girl romance

    This show was not as pleasing as the Golden Gaytimes Bancroft would share with his dad...

    Ricky G is fantastic. George Lucas had the idea but Mousey went high and right. Good video. This show has no magic and is anti female hero. There should be no surprise concerning this show, the magic is gone, and no need to point out every "eye sore." However, there is something more that has been missed. Our official Epistle (on our channel) concerning "Willow (the series) 2022 by the "Mousey" Corporation explains quite clearly how it became "Anti Femina Heroina." It deprived all audiences (and Princess Elora Danan) of what could have been a tremendous and pristine ironclad journey for a female hero "with a thousand faces," inspiring generations to come. Peace be to you and come an join us anytime.
