Willow NUKED Off Disney+ This is Why - Making of Review

[@disparutoo]

Willow reviews are back! Just before Disney deletes all of the Willow TV series off Disney+. This is a review of Willow: Behind the Magic their behind the scenes making of special which includes part mockumentary elements. And if they are deleting all of Willow, then I HAD to give it the goodbye it deserved and cover the making of too! Like the show, it has some genuinely funny elements but also talks about how "this isn't nostalgia" but instead "takes the IP and makes it forward looking to update it to a more modern perspective". We all know what that means! This making of really doubles down on everything you would expect Willow to be, and shows that they have absolutely no idea why it failed. But what did you think of what you saw? Let me know your thoughts down below and as always, thanks for watching :)

She did more in the books and at least was inspired by her caretakers to do it and Willow. The show though paints Sorcha and Madmartigan in a terrible light... they were given this child to take care of and raise who united the people... and made her into a maid... and ignored.

[@daishikaze3986]

Yes! It even says at the Beginning that she would "Bring about the end of Bavmorda", not that should would become powerful and defeat her, bring about the defeat. That is was actually Bavmorda's single-minded need to destroy the child that ended up being her own Downfall in the end.

A small part of me still thinks that with a decent writer, there'd have been a half decent action/adventure show for kids here. If you cut out basically every main character other than Willow and Boorman, and maybe written Elora Danan better...I think you could've had something that at least would've been a bit of fun. Between Willow's dry sarcastic humour and Boorman's somewhat bumbling but endearing fleeting barbarian wit, without the others all dragging the mood down, there were SOME glimmers recalling the duo of Willow and Madmartigan, but balanced a bit differently with Willow the older, and Boorman the younger. I don't know, I'm not saying it would've been amazing or anything, but it made me think that in the right hands you COULD have had something at least decently entertaining, here. The few times this show got a smile out of me, it was a line from Boorman or occasionally Willow when you didn't have the misery parade constantly whining.

The Willow tv show is what happens when you take something that has a fanbase that's mainly 40+ and aim the sequel at teens/early 20s. And then shunt the OG characters to the side and have the leads be a random pair of lesbians played by bad actresses. And have it be overseen by a dude with a dubious track record and whose only connection to the original is that it was created by a colleague of his dad's.

It sucks, if they had just removed Kit from the show it would have been actually watchable, but in my ideal Willow series, the main cast would have been just three characters (Willow, Illora, and one other character, preferably Boorman), they would have removed all the modern day slang and most of the American accents, used the original musical score from the movie, and made the whole thing less gray and drab colored.

You wanna have set up to get your stuff removed if it’s not performing. If people aren’t watching it but they’re paying you just forward to sit there they’re going to take it down.

[@MajorSmurf]

Ah! Yes this show... What's it called again? Ah-ha yes I remember Willow : Wheel of Power Origins. *cough* Sorry got my fantasy shows all mixed up there. They could all be part of the same god dam universe and no one would know. Honestly the only reason I remember this show exists is watching people dunk on it.

[@squatchfromearth4076]

They're all the same anyway just the props and clothes change

[@JoeSyxpack]

Yeah, this Making of Willow thing is way better than the show was. Unlike the show it's got humor and drama and acting.

[@charlesmcmanus4229]

Did you notice the dude at the 4-minute-mark wearing the shirt with the venn-diagram labeled “Loud White Men/Opinions That Matter”?

[@AshCosgrove]

Glad I'm not the only one who noticed. These are the kinds of people that Lucasfilm hires exclusively. No wonder they're going downhill. Imagine a white person wearing a shirt that said “Loud Black Women/Opinions That Matter”

[@jimc5754]

I did and I just don't understand it. They don't want equality they want control and for me to go hide in the corner. That's not equality

[@adamsinger123]

Never saw the original WILLOW or this show (o/c), but I'm all here for a Disparu 49-minute smackdown! 🍿

[@Kiljaedenas]

The original Willow is definitely fun (and a metric shit-ton better than the TV series), give it a try.

[@Bucketus.Lord.of.Buckets]

"Willow is back" Right afterwards "Willow is getting deleted"

[@anguswilliam2141]

The part I'm left wondering is how they should of made this series. It could have been really good. Aim it around 14yr old boys, focus on the Val Kilmer aspect with the sword, the witch part for the sorcery and somehow work Willow into the main plot line and he can have hiis own side kick characters. The film was dark and medieval, they had Val left in a cage as a highwayman, that's pretty dark. Losing armies, a kind of scary witch (for 14yr olds) and then the light hearted aspect of the mini-people and Willows lot. It should have been gold.

[@bruhlord1118]

I feel real sorry for the guy who plays as Willow. He doesn't even get put in until AFTER the show starts, is reduced to the role of a sorcerer wannabe, and it's only until the very end when he actually becomes the guy he was in the FIRST Willow. All the while getting dumped on, and overshadowed by others, simply because of what they have (or didn't have) in their pants. No half-decent actor deserves that sort of treatment.

[@Sonofdonald2024]

It comes to something when the fake Willow sequel in the 'Lifes too Short' special seems like a better option 😂

That’s crazy, filming a whole show, promoting it nonstop, and Disney is purging it from existence.

[@DEATH-THE-GOAT]

Makes total "Hollyweird" sense to me

[@alejandroangel998]

Disney, the only company so far to destroy their main IPs in less than a decade. Even their second best IP (Willow). Knowing Hollywood there’s going to be another company that’s gonna be like “hold my bud light”. Still waiting for She-Hulk to be taken down from D+ 🙏

[@lordbritannic]

Howard the duck TV show next??

[@DEATH-THE-GOAT]

WOW! Do you remember that! 😮 I do too but your comment made me feel not that old, cheers

[@RREvilMonk]

This is the perfect catharsis for the loss that is this show and the happiness I had every time Disparu would upload another episode. Nothing else will come close. Grandest of efforts, everyone! 🤣🤔😢

[@lordfaladar6261]

Williow was a wonderful movie and deserved a sequel taking place 15 years later. not a series... and a series should have just taken place on the same world.

[@davidwindell]

You make a great point about the acting… they actually all played the parts very well (except Willow, but no big deal). The issue was simply that the writing was absolutely horrific. I liked the actors though for the most part, but you’d think each of them was written to be as hated as possible by the audience. Kind of sad really. Unlike shehulk, which was poorly written, poorly portrayed, and topped with awful CGI, this show “only” had terrible writing. That’s a win in modern Hollywood.

[@melissar4612]

I'll say one thing for this show: it's nice to see that the cast appear to have gotten along, based on their willingness to joke with each other. It's the ONLY thing I will say in its favor, because the show itself is dogsh!t. But I'm glad the actors liked each other.

[@MediumRareOpinions]

They seem like nice people but in some ways that might actually be the problem. Being too nice seems to correlate negatively with the quality of the product. Maybe media production needs a villain in charge to actually keep the cast focused on producing something good.

[@portalmanHUN]

Their shirts told me everything I needed to know about these people.

[@pirateking518]

Willow was one of my favorite movies as a kid. Didn't need an extension of the story because it wrapped up in one movie.

[@anguswilliam2141]

It is true, the actors only do what the director and script tell them to do. I don't hold a lot of grief towards actors (it's a strange job) so much as the approved script and base story. Someone had to approve the story itself, or did they do this one "on the fly" as well?

[@anguswilliam2141]

This is getting sad now, and I'm only 10 mins in. It's the same with a lot of these modern shows, all the ingredients ARE there, but then then try fit everything into the pot and it ends up tasting bad. Ruined.

[@tristambre632]

I did not even had the time to watch the show, but thanks to you, your reviews were more than enough. Next time I wish to watch the movie, I'll do my best to ignore this ever existed.

[@amaurycanales]

Anyone else notice the racist shirt the bearded guy was wearing?

[@jimc5754]

They cry equality but that's not what they want. They want control which is not equality. Imagine if the shirt said "black" instead of "white"

[@NACbyNam888]

DISPARU- You are killing them with honesty. Please keep up the great work, enjoy your channel.

[@kentslocum]

I'm not upset about the Willow show being removed, but I am extremely sad about The Mysterious Benedict Society being removed. Season 1, especially, was actually remankabry well-written, directed, acted, and filmed.

[@jenjenhocho3188]

18:54 Nice shirt. Tells me all I need to know about the wearer and also the people producing the show.

[@vjbd2757]

Kathleen Kennedy is the reverse Midas Touch. Everything she touches drastically lowers in value.

[@FreeThinkingRealist]

Warwick Davis had a game show in the UK called Tenable, he was always affable, witty and had a sparkle to his personality. He does have an amazing movie history. However he disappeared for a few months, obviously to make this show 'Willow'. But when he returned... he was a completely different man. Now I know why.

[@fantastopotomus]

This is legit one of the funniest videos I've seen all year. That mockumentary is insane lol

[@scottfree7633]

My friend was sitting next to Warwick on a flight to florida, I'm told he's actually a really nice person. If he can put up with my mate for all that time, he's definitely more patient than most.

[@xshakel]

I like the part where she’s wearing a shirt with all 3 powerpuff girls black-washed and text under them that says “representation matters” 😂

[@james_150_]

3:58 I notice one actor wore a racist tee shirt on set. Two circles saying "loud white men" and "opinions that matter". Replace the word 'white' with any other ethnic group and see how people react. Incidentally, does anyone sell a tee shirt with "talentless plank of wood" and "opinions that matter"? A gift for an actor friend...

[@thectk1000]

As a fan of the movie, I actually didnt find the show immensly insulting personally. It was overall just boring and generic. But Willow himself didnt get off too bad. He was typically useful and did do magic (with ever changing rules) but that was one of two things worth paying off from the original movie. The other thing was the prophesy of Elora saving the world being fulfilled. So in essence they showed the only progressions fans of the movie could care about. They just did it in a dissastrous way. I think of it kind of like The Matrix Resurrections. If you like the idea of Neo and Trinity living happily ever after, you can have that now, even though it was wholly unnecessary. I dont much mind knowing this is what happened after the movie, but I also dont care at all to know or see more.

[@SunwardRanger83]

I had to roll my eyes when they started talking about being modern and having lgbt representation like it was some new fresh thing. Aside from the fact that Disney shoehorns that into nearly everything they put out now, this isn't even a relatively new thing in general. They had a couple of moderately attractive girls who had the hots for each other and kissed once or twice. That's not new or fresh, mainstream TV and movies have been doing that since at least the late 90's.

[@docreaver1138]

It has come to the point that whenever i hear they're going to do a show or a movie connected to something i grew up with, i immediately think NO... Why don't they come up with things of their own and ruin those, why don't they leave our childhood memories alone? Good writing has become a thing of the past. At this point scripts written by AI would be a step up, even given that it wouldn't bring something especially new. It still would be better then the writing modern writers deliver...
