Mandalorian Season 1 - Worse Than You Remember

[@Civil_Maniac]

I didn’t realize how sloppy the show was. I was too distracted by the pretty visuals to notice some of the dumb choices and lack of consistent characters

[@SaintWombo]

The visuals and music really carry it imo. But that can only work for so long, I think so many people lost interest in Season 3 because it became really obvious at that point that the writers had no clue what they were doing.

[@Guy_Incognito118]

Your preamble does an excellent job of laying out the difference between objective and subjective, as well as explaining why internal consistency matters so much.

[@alexman378]

Finally, someone said it. I was flabbergasted by the glazing when I first watched it. Had some cool moments here and there but it was nowhere near this masterpiece everyone was claiming it was.

[@howdypotowty]

My understanding of the carbonite scene in episode 5 is that how they were going to do it was dangerous, jerry rigging an industrial machine as part of a trap to freeze an unwilling, resisting subject was going to be risky.

[@herbertschulz4313]

I think the carbonitemethode is actually somewhat common place. They use it in several star wars mediums that take place before empire, and in empire lando, vader and boba are mainly concerned about the quality of the machine, not the quality of the methode.

[@howdypotowty]

Yeah, I got the impression it was a machine for industrial use for handling materials. I think the place was some kind of gas mine, so maybe something to do with that.

[@SaintWombo]

I meant specifically for transporting people. Idk about extended lore so i can only speak to the film/tv continuity. As far as i know Vader was the first to try it and tested it on Han because he wanted to make sure a human could survive it. I think the explanation we get is that carbonite is typically used to freeze gas into a solid form.

[@videomusicboxman7120]

I feel like so much of the choices they made in this season were “fan service” in lieu of cogent storytelling. The carbon freeze pulls in the OG Gen X fans, Moff takes an obvious bit from Breaking Bad and then Baby Yoda kind of bridges the gap between old fans and new. Disney wants to have their cake and eat it too in terms of having wide appeal and it causes them to stretch the narrative and universe too thin. Very solid write up young sir. Looking forward to seeing what else you’ve got in store :) Also… 20:30. Language! 😂

Almost to the day Gina Careno was fired by these DEI LGBT&Q worshiping sickos Disney stock went from a HIGH of over $201 billion to $100 billion... half your stock value - GONE not because of bad movies .. series.. they are are well done.. but BAD STORYLINES ..w/ latent LGBT&Q meanings .. relationships.. etc DISNEY has and is will always be about the kids, not to represent, nor move along, support this daily social warrior activist climate change, LGBT&Q agenda.

i find your lack of faith in the value of 50,000 Chuck E Cheese credits disturbing

[@cmd31220]

Thank you for explaining the difference between "good" and "i like" or "enjoyable". I LOVE schlocky 80s B-grade monster movies but i cannot in good conscience call any of them "good" because they just arent. Theyre dumb fun. Mandalorian id argue is at least decent objectively in season 1 before falling off a cliff in later seasons, and Episode 3 is a good film fight me, but overall i definitely agree that its not nearly as good on a second watchthrough

[@SaintWombo]

Totally agree, nothing wrong with some dumb fun. Glad you enjoyed the vid!

I'll be honest though: Disney should absolutely do better with what they have. Fair enough, Mr. Wambo 😅

[@SaintWombo]

Your comments are much appreciated, and thanks for watching all the way through!

Much appreciated, glad you enjoyed!

[@BearlyBearrr]

Can you do a review of andor

[@SaintWombo]

Probably a few months out but i will eventually

[@flankspeed]

It's a bit nit-picking, this. I do appreciate the UP when he does attempt to say, "But I could be wrong, because maybe X or Y." Largely because a reasonable person might assume X or Y. More of that, please. Tell you what, though: "A good story rewards your questions, a bad story punishes them." Oh, now that's wisdom, right there.

[@blue44drums]

ABOUT TIME ;)

[@gordonneverdies]

Most overrated show ever. I felt like I was going crazy hearing how everyone loved it. Similar to how I felt about TFA.

[@cocoz1597]

This video is amazing. I saw the efap superchat. Glad you made this video. Hope you get the next couple of seasons.

[@SaintWombo]

Thanks for checking it out! I’m very glad you liked it. Definitely gonna finish covering season 1 but it’s gonna take a long while. Hopefully the wait is worth it

[@cocoz1597]

@@SaintWombo yes. Ill definatly be waiting for the next parts.

[@sahelanthropus84]

great video, but i think pedro doesnt want to trade with the jawas because theyre known to rip people off or some kind of prejudice like that

[@SaintWombo]

That does sound more likely, but the dialogue in that scene makes it sound like he’s very unfamiliar with them. Like when he calls the sand crawler “the crawling fortress” and how Queill has to inform that “Jawas steal, they don’t destroy”

[@ARandomInternetUser08]

Really? Prejudice?

[@alexman378]

That’s not prejudice. It’s pattern recognition. A very useful, very purposefully demonized ability that got us very far as a species.

[@bclr6843]

Finally someone said it. Get back to asoiaf videos. Just hearing about Star Wars at this point requires antidepressants. Nothing Disney produced since 2019 has made any sense or been worth watching. And Disney hasn’t produced any Star Wars worth watching but you guys keep giving the empire your money so nothing changes. I’m gonna get back to mainlining Zoloft and ambien and hope I go in to a coma and wake up when the rest of all y’all do and we can get back to being normal. I’m still hoping the last 5 years have just been a fever dream from catching the rona

[@SaintWombo]

Worry not, I won't be touching Mando again till probably next year. Currently working on "Best of Thrones: The Wolf and the Lion"

Awesome vid

[@SaintWombo]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed!

[@danshmitka5796]

Fair points but the mcguffin of the force in new hope with absolute no training is bad when you compare it to modern day world building. It is a rushed mess that was limited due to low budget that has n9w a cult following who sees no evil. Telling someone to look at new hope with critical eyes is a 50/50 bag. Either they claim it as perfect or bash you for bringing blasphemous remarks. Don't get me wrong, this video was great. But I view all star wars as flawed and inconsistent toy magazines. Return of the jedi was the biggest example of merchandise sales because ewok. But yeah, just because they are flawed doesn't mean we can't enjoy them. Good video man.

[@bokobat2290]

It do be kinda doodoo

[@SaintWombo]

it do tho

[@flankspeed]

Oh, one other thing: why are we assuming all the bad decision are Favreau's and not Filoni's? Should I expect a future vid entitled, "Why Ahsoka is the best Star Wars Ever (And You Didn't Even Realise It)"?

[@SaintWombo]

Favrue is an exec producer and is credited for "creating" the show , so I'd consider this "his baby". Plus Favrue wrote 6 of the first 8 episodes himself while Filoni only directed 1. I'd consider Ahsoka to be Filoni's baby for the same reasons. Direction is important but i don't think season 1 really suffers from bad direction, just bad writing.

[@ARandomInternetUser08]

I just don't think it's that bad. I still think season 2 is better though.
