Willow Review Episode 3 - Disney KILLS IP's

[@disparutoo]

Willow episode 3, the one where I forgot the intro! Well, on the plus side I'm now caught up with the episodes, on the downside, this got worse! How many times can you write yourself into a corner and then just cut to another scene before coming back and the problem is solved? How many times can 2 characters talk to each other while not actually replying to the other one's previous line? Willow is jam packed with so many problems you'd think it was deliberate. But what did you think of the show from what you saw? Let me know your thoughts down below and as always, thanks for watching :)

The funny thing about the sword fight is - actually her size does not matter, as she has a sword, but she has no idea how to use it, and the guard too, as both fight like they have broomsticks instead. The most lethal part of the medieval sword is the point. In general it seems Hollywood does not know that.

More importantly, I'm sick of the constant promotion of homosexuality / LGBTQ. Two female lesbians who are of course great swords women who, despite weighing 7 stone can go toe to toe with men twice their weight. Two more lumberjack lesbians! Of course! The main cast essentially two lesbians and two non white males. Non white king is of course a wimp. Sleazy white male brother who gets himself kidnapped because he's obviously so incompetent.

Pretty sure most woke people have lost the "magic of movies" (or television shows) and are jaded about the process of making them. They pretty much feel powerless to write good stories so they just phone it in.

Hold the phone. That just made it click together. This episode comes off as the sort of session you'd read about on Reddit. The sorcerer refuses to use his spell slots because "I might need them later", even if you're about to do a long rest. He's obsessive about his wagon. He's rude and dismissive to everyone else in the party, and how much you wanna bet he's gonna start claiming all the loot? Are they cribbing directly from their D&D sessions, and "Willow" is just them roasting That One Guy in their party?

Chromium is a real element. It is used to make better steel or as plating. A breastplate made out of pure chromium is a remarkably stupid idea because while it is the hardest known pure metal it is also brittle af. When chrome plated metal gets dented the chromium plating will splinter off into shards. Do these writers know or resarch anything at all? Edit: Oh and depending on what type of chromium you use skin contact can also cause skin ulcers to develop. Perfect armor material really.

[@sterling7]

The thoroughly modern dress of the "humble woodswomen", combined with the singleton were-rat and Willow's "ohhhhhh, I can't do magic until it's really important", definitely causes one to wonder if one of the things the writers are failing to overcome is a middling budget.

It's odd they're using it as a big cliffhanger that is supposed to excite OG fans, when the rest of the show seems aimed at teens/new viewers. We saw a lot of that with RoP as well. Also- There've been various articles going around lately, including by the NY Times, noting that audiences have gotten tired of current films/shows, and the articles ponder why this is. Well, just look at things like Willow and RoP- we're tired that so much is sooooo badly written (and acted, in some cases), with the makers acting like there's something wrong with the audience for noticing!

The end of this episode made spit out my drink! Best rendition of the Master of Puppets I have ever heard!

[@flipneleanor7370]

those scenes were she doesn't have the physical strength to lift a 6ft tall man up out of a well, and if she tries she is going to be killed by skaven, so they cut to a somebody else, then come back and shes lifted a 6ft man up out of the well, and wasn't attacked by the skaven, all off screen... holy moly I have not seen anything that jaw droppingly stupid in my life.

[@rutgervannahuijs263]

Just before watching your reviews of She Hulk I watched said episode...hilarious...but with this show....I am not putting myself through this...I am however going to watch all your reviews just without watching the actual show prior. Willow looks painful to watch. Thank you for the funny and relaxing content! Cheers!

[@nekograce7914]

People that know Willow will understand what or where Nockmar is, for those that don’t it’s where Queen Bavmorda lived, sorceressed, and met her demise. Originally the ritual was set up for the baby (it would have destroyed her soul never to reincarnate) but they nicked the baby and forced Bavmorda into the ritual. That’s what makes this ENTIRE plot to this show stupid. Ole Mordy’s soul was destroyed. But no one can write anything new. It has to be “well that person that died beforehand, yeah they didn’t really. And now THEY WILL HAVE POWER AGAIN!!!!!” So stupid

[@hrdley911]

What really throws me from the universe is that they all speak like they're from present-day California. Couldn't they have British accents, or at least use maybe old-timey English.

[@minkyfran8307]

0:45 I'm surprised you didn't point out the fact chromium is a real metal. It is very shiney, rust and corrosion resistant, and brittle. Pure chromium is only used as a protective plating or mixed as an alloy like with iron to make stainless steel.

[@freddytheplatypus826]

26:31 im fairly certain they're going to reveal Boorman IS actually madmartigan but he was transformed to take the appearance of a criminal or another person as a curse. this would circumvent the need for Val Kilmer to appear, and also "neatly"(lazily) explain why this dude seems to be Mad's best friend/squire nobody ever knew about

Disney can’t figure out that if you are spending hundreds of millions on a show, why no spend a few more bucks to get writers with a shred of talent or intelligence.

[@KevinsCreatures]

This relentlessly, aggressively wretched series is punishing to the point of sadism. The people involved in its creation could do no worse than if they hated the property outright; their rank incompetence transcends mere stupidity and falls squarely within the bounds of spite.

I think we should all give Disparu a "Slow Clap". There have been many, many epicially funny/horror reviews this year, but I think this is the funniest one yet. He deserves a youtube sign or a plushie or something. Our pack this video review on a space probe and use it to explain humans to alien races. As a warning. LOL *Trying to be funny, here* Good job, man! 🙂

[@PantoniStrikesBack]

Knockmaar was the Castle of Queen Bavmorda in the first movie. I'm pretty curious about what will they do to Franjean and Rul... cause I don't see them (showrunners) wasting the chance to defile another character(s) from the original. It's funny... Willow was a charming movie, not great, just a charming, fun adventure (in fact it's Star wars on middle age). For some unknown reason, I still remember all the names & places in the movie. Cheers!

[@saldiven2009]

A "cuirass of pure chromium?" That would be useless. Chromium is brittle. It would crack or shatter when struck. It's useful in making alloys, but not terribly useful as a pure metal in anything that involves impact or flexing. Some writer apparently just thought "chromium" sounded cool. And, of course, they'll use the "but, magic" excuse to justify a silly explanation. Don't even start on the fact that the armor doesn't look anything like pure chromium, so they couldn't even be bothered to look up what chromium looks like.

[@TroySavary]

Fantasy has a long history of weapons and armour made from completely impractical materials. Gold cuirasses, diamond or obsidian swords.

[@saldiven2009]

@@TroySavary True, but gold, diamond, and obsidian are interesting substances that are either rare/valuable (gold and diamond) or has significant historical significance (obsidian). Chromium is that stuff most people know as the thin shiny coating that gets put on cheap car rims to make them look shiny but always ends up peeling off. Out of curiosity, what would your opinion be of a gold cuirass that was purple? Or an obsidian sword that was white? This is supposedly a pure chromium cuirass, but it's kind of brownish. Chromium is bright silver. Making it the bright silver of actual chromium would have looked a lot cooler than the color they chose.

[@TroySavary]

@@saldiven2009 Yes, it does not actually look like chrome. But no one is claiming the costume design is great.

[@saldiven2009]

@@TroySavary The choice of chromium is so weird on so many levels. If this were a parody show it would make more sense.

I genuinely think Warwick has been forced to do this contractually, he's a better actor than this. It seems he's giving it the least amount of givafuk.

[@Rusty_Raine]

Sorry bro but I literally put your videos up on a second monitor while I am working. This video had me laughing several times, but I couldn't stop when you said that. Don't worry, your channel is high quality. It makes it so I don't have to actually watch the show and then I get entertainment value out of it.

[@disparutoo]

lol I do the same with youtube videos, I often play them while I'm on a game or something on a side monitor. That's also how I watched all of the CW stuff I've seen, they're a lot better when you only concentrate on them for 10% of it 😅

[@lukebatchelor717]

The first few scenes of Ep 1 lost me as soon as I heard the modern dialogue. Insanity.

[@PelemusMcSoy]

Kit and Stable Girl's deliveries aren't commanding or powerful. They're just...there. Even Stable Girl's posture and body language at 5:27 is passive. Meanwhile, I'm watching Arcane for the first time, and Vi's commands have much more weight behind them thanks to her body language and knowing what she can do.

The scene with the wagon where they all are staring at it reminds me of this joke. "A bus with special needs kids got broken. The driver tries to fix it. Then the kid from the bus comes by and says "I know what is broken." The driver replied "Off you go." Few minutes later same situation. Then it happened few more times each one making driver more agitated. At last the angry driver asks "OK Tell me WHAT is broken". "The bus."

Nockmaar was the castle where Bavmorda, the scary old witch ruled from. It was the site of the end battle in the Willow movie. It’s surprising that the writers got that fact right, and almost nothing else.
