"It feels like the story ended with Season 2 but the camera man just stuck around" 😂😂😂 this is too accurate...
Yeah this is a great quote. Very true!
This season would be more interesting if Grogu had decided to continue his training with Luke and we have to see Mando ALONE in this season.
Straight facts. Been saying it since episode 1
And if he WERE to come back, they could have done it MUCH later. Too rushed here. It felt like season 2 was a freaking WASTE. >:(
Kathleen made them bring him back, now they're struggling to fit him in all the time
It's hilarious how quickly fans turned on Favreau after praising him as the Saviour Of Star Wars 😂
@@urfavfoundling1137 *Season 1 and 2
Thanks for putting into words exactly how we all feel. It just hurts more when something great and exciting turns mediocre and boring.
Like game of thrones
"None of these moments are caused by one another. They all just feel like separate, unrelated events that are just boring to watch." These 2 sentences perfectly describe what I was thinking almost the entire season and I didn't really know what it was. Atleast at the end of the show something actually HAPPENED and it was something big I guess, but it can't erase the feeling of pointlessness I felt almost the entire show :(
I honestly think the reason season 3 is so so bad, is because they had plans during season 2 that mando would be on his own / do his own adventure for season 3. Then it was announced a bunch of Star Wars shows were coming including boba fett. Now what did Bob iger admit in his biography? That they were more concerned with quartley earnings for the sequels and thus quantity over quality. Disney really cares about money. What makes money? Grogu. He was a meme, and sold massively to children as a toy. I gurantee some higher ups told Dave and Jon they had to include grogu for season 3. So the whole thing had to fit him. There was even a rumour surfaced recently Jon favrue was in a conflict with Kathleen Kennedy about this.
Well I think your right about Jon Favreau having plans to only want to cast mando, but Dave Filloni who wrote this episode had to make it work for the Disney execs, and I feel like his upcoming involvement in the seventh episode will also include this unfortunately. But overall I think Jon Favreau’s main objective in this season is to reintroduce Thrawn as this sort of build up of defeating the remaining high Imperial authorities like mof Gideon, and the existence of characters like Zeb being shown from rebels could have significance to that
Din essentially finished the game and is now just in free roam.
The run time is so short but it feels like very little is happening. This season feels like it's 3 episodes stretched to 8 episodes to fulfill a contract with the studio.
"This is the way" = "Damn, that's crazy"
😂😂
Would love to see a review of the bad batch finale tomorrow (or the season as a whole), it's no secret that it's been taking significant W's over the Mandalorian over the last 4 weeks. Not that Star Wars should be competing with itself (which it unfortunately seems to be). Great videos, though! Looking forward to them every tuesday night.
Thank you! I’m am definitely thinking about it, as I’ve been enjoying the Bad Batch much more than Mando lately 😅
Jabba the hutt could beat yoda in a 1v1
@@jilliebean6312 Truly a demented comment.
@@caprisanh2845 I love how the bad batch is becoming a darker show. Like, crosshair literally gets FREAKING TORTURED and then he shoots a stormtrooper kn the face at point blank range.
@@remrants I knooow. Crazy how they’re willing to show darker concepts in a single episode of Bad Bach than in an entire season of Mando.
I feel about this show as I do about the John Wick franchise. The first one was no-nonsense, good action and with a shroud of mystery. The longer they both go the more they cater to the casual viewer with tv tropes. Really really hope Andor doesn't take a dive like the Mandalorian.
Wish grogu was gone
Same
I loved season 2 finale and then he just comes back 😂
Let's kill him Goodbye little green booger
To be honest, this season really picked up around episode 3. It was really nice to see world building revolving coruscant, of which we got a sliver in the clone wars
I think this season is setting other shows or there are more seasons coming and there is no main goal in this season like the first two that had a main goal to bring Grogu to his people. Also Mando is like on vacation or something, nothing is going wrong ( for more than 20 mins ) and everyone is chilling.
I pray, no I BEG that this cloning plotline that was teased since season 1 does not turn out to lead to the creation of Snoke or at least to lead to the creation of ONLY Snoke. It would be rad if we got an awesome sort of insanely powerful force-wielding monster and I mean an actual MONSTER. One that sticks around for like 3 seasons first as a force of nature then as an intelligent being akin to a predator then an actual character. But as a wise green man said "Like that's ever gonna happen"
Oh man if only… 😭
@@caprisanh2845 If I ever get a job as a director and writer for a star wars project I'm definitely doing this and mixing some zilo beast in there so light sabers don't do jack.
Disney is the Death Star, blowing up the best IP, turning 4 billion into the red. As a life long SW fan, I’m actually done. I’ll keep the despecialized OT, the pre-PT EU, and toss the rest in the trash. Screw the Mouse.
Can You imagine these Mandalorian taking on a Jedi? The Jedi would chop off their arms and legs
Love your takes and i hope the next episodes will tie the random stories together in an interesting way. Also hope we get a dope villain with all the star destroyer thing. Guess we will see tho
Thank you. 🙌🏽 I’m hoping for a good villain too
My first thought when they brought in the cloning scientist from earlier back into episode 3 was that they were gonna shoehorn in an explanation for the conclusion of rise of skywalker with all the palpatine clones. Complete BS
Oh NOOOOOOOO! I think you might be right man 😭
Bro your content is excellent, keep grinding and I bet you will have a big following soon
Thanks man! I sure hope so 😄
Holy sh*t. I discovered your just now (the one vid about duells). Now im going to 100% your channel. Bro your quality is quiet isane for that "low" amount of since and your argumentation is clear to follow and understandable. Keep it up :)
Thank you! So glad you enjoy my content 👊🏽
i loved the order 66 scene, but it was just out of place
Jimmy season 3 literally feels like a dead Pulsar star just flashing in the space sky. I will say though I do appreciate that the makers of this show give father's a little bit of Spotlight and focus that is so rare in Hollywood so I do appreciate that.
I like some of the Bo Katan development but overall this season has been a bit of a disappointment.
I’m with you man. Feel the exact same way
I think the season will head for a recolonization of mandalore, just saying.
This would be definitely be interesting to watch if executed properly.
I wish disney didn't own star wars tbh
but then we wouldnt have andor😔
The ideal world to live in is wherever Disney sells Star Wars to a better company and cancelled all shows except Andor and MAYBE Mando if these first few episodes turnout to be exceptions. Idk about anything else tho
True, but I'll sacrifice Andor if it means no more ST. And Andor was pretty good.
keep crying
@@elisamson6482 Let me guess, you were born after the OT and PT?
I guess I'm biased, I love season 3 . Keep up the good work
Thank you. 🙌🏽 Regardless of what I think, I'm glad you're enjoying it.
The only good thing about this episode was the CGI of the monster fight. The Coruscant chase scene felt awkward and just a higher paces Book of Boba Fett Mod chase scene. Quit putting people on speeder bikes, if they're not banking severely into turns at high speed, it looks awful! Also, as great as it was to see Ahmed Best getting his redemption as a new character, he didn't look confident swinging those Lightsabers around. I totally agree, I'm no longer optimistic about this show.
Product placement. And Jack Black paid in coke and Lizzo paid in Oreos
And instead of Snoke's creation we got... fuckin Gideon's clones. I am sure that they changed script and it was supposed to be Snoke's clones but nah, turn Gideon into generic villian who makes stupid mistakes
Love y’all
KZhead recommendations be like
literally just subbed to you because you spoke my mind I actually enjoyed seasons 1-2 a lot but since the 1st episode this season it’s been horrible.Even ep 5 was also bad but people saw a rebels cameo and some mid action scenes and went crazy.Mando literally as you said just feels like we’re seeing him do is day to day routine just chilling.I don’t mind building up bo but give mando and grogu a good plot this season.Or just a good plot for the show in general because it’s boring
So glad I’m not the only one who thought Ep 5 was just mid. 😅 Got that video coming out soon. Thank you so much for subbing! Appreciate the support 🙌🏽
All what you are saying is true and it makes me so sad because the Mandalorian s1-2 were great and some of the best sh** we've had in Star Wars in a while. But this is not as good anymore.
well said!
Exactly how I feel! I dont care about any character and the episodes make no sense!
I think the season is amazing. You have to look at it in a different way than the first two seasons. They’re going somewhere with this. They’re setting things up. That’s how I am taking it. I’ve actually enjoyed the episodes. The only one I really didn’t like was the one with the scientist. I thought they just spent way too much time, and I really cannot stand the character of Kane. But other than that I’ve enjoyed every other episode, and I really am excited to see where this is all heading. I’m not going to stop watching it just because some people don’t believe it’s heading in the right direction. There is a direction and I’m going to stick with it because I want to see where it’s going.
Setting things up is well and good, if they made said set up entertaining.... but there is so much easily cut fat in every episode that could not possibly lend itself to set up. Almost everything has been filler, which if cut would have made the episodes less than 20 minutes long each.
When you're looking for things to like about the show... It's not a good show
How could they mess this up
When Mando reveals his face it reminds me of return of the Jedi when Anakin reveals his face from And Luke carries Grogu like Anakin he carries him to a ship
Kathleen has always been the problem
What on Earth did George Lucas see in that woman. Terrible judge of character? Perhaps.
Imagine telling someone who doesn’t know Star Wars this story. They’d be so confused. Heck, even a person who knows Star Wars would be confused
Came here after the news dropped that they canceled the mandalorian because of fan back lash
The successful show about a masked men. Is now about an unmasked women. Everything stated in the 1st season is destroyed in the 3rd season.
I am subscribing!
Thank you! 🙌🏽
I honestly feel like they killed din as a character in s2 finale. And now he's just walking corpse saying lines and being used as a tool for all of these cameos and spin offs. He's not a main character anymore, he's not even an npc bc they don't know how to write stuff consistently. The dialogue feels like it was written by a child. This show became hollow shell for Disney to sell merchandise of grogu forever.
Damn you pretty much summed up my thoughts perfectly 🤙🏽
I think the whole idea is that the world is still moving and evolving even with nothing happening with Din. The whole idea is dramatic irony. We know something that Din doesn’t. We know Bo is working on becoming leader of Mandalor again and trying to take back the dark saber. Din doesn’t see it yet. The show is going from “The Mandalorian” to “The Mandalorians.”
Took 7 episodes for the plot to go anywhere. Maybe this season should have been a lot shorter. Could have easily left guns for hire episode on the cutting room floor as that was trash.
"Mando is hot" I'm sorry what?
This show’s fall from Grace was a slow, and painful one. Great video
And yet it never had much to begin with. Go back to season 1 and you’ll see that the writing has always been weak.
@@WrongIdeasChannel true.
It's just cruising and side quests at this point
If you want a good Mandaloriaian story try the Republic Commando series. The second book and beyond is entirely Mando protagonist driven.
I thought it was hilarious when the Mando boy was taken by the flying dinosaur who didn’t bother to eat him for a whole day. Thus giving the “heroes” enough time launch their very leisurely rescue. What a childish comic book this show is.
My thoughts exactly 😂
Looks like the Lucasfilm story group took control of this season.
This is the way… so shut up!!! and enjoy what we get
NO NEW INFORMATION? Eh yeah we don't need to know exactly who saved him and how he escaped, I agree 😐
I think people higher up are trying to use the Mandalorian to repair some of the damage the sequels did to the reputation of the star wars franchise. If they succeed, they'll be able to draw more people in for more star wars content, in turn making more money. Sadly, however, doing this will require sacrificing the story and other potential content these shows could have had.
Mandalorian never was a good show. It's just a filler, right from the beginning.
Who cares about pickle man?! Give mando a developing character arc
I honestly really agree with you on this one. From the stupid decision to stay on that hellhole planet, to the Armorer being of NEGATIVE, NOT EVEN ZERO, NEGATIVE help to Bo after she’s told about the Mythosaur... And while I was watching this I was also thinking why the hell isn’t this kid dead yet? I thought he would have gotten eaten right away? Like it took them a whole DAY to find him let alone reach the nest... I think the whole order 66 thing was to tie in with how Din had war flashbacks from HIS childhood while the Armorer was doing her thing, but like you said, Grogu’s flashbacks didn’t add ANYTHING new to the story. I was pretty defensive of the show as the criticism was coming in at first, but now I’m just...sad. But, anyway, this week’s video was entertaining as always! I hope you gain more traction soon! :)
That’s a good point about Grogu’s flashback. Hoping the rest of the season is better and looks like we’re off to a decent start with ep 5. Glad you enjoy my content! 😄
@@caprisanh2845 Yeah I was pleasantly surprised with this week’s episode!
this episode definitely reeked of filler, the Order 66 scene was nice if only because it's more live action clones and saber fighting but as a whole it just bored me. Bad Batch is definitely taking the show and I'm curious to see how the finale goes.
Half in the season Maybe season 4 will be 1.1 percent better
Apparently tonight’s new ep is supposed to be game changing and the next half of the show is gonna be insane, I get the frustration but Don’t completely hate on a season of a show when it’s literally in the middle of its season(that’s not fair of you to cast doubt on the rest of the show when it isn’t even finished and you have no idea where it’s going). We were all wondering where the show was going in both season 1-2, and these past 4 eps have been really great at world and character building, so just have patience, it’ll come together all in good time
I see your point and trust me, I want this show to be good, but I just don’t see that happening. Like, say I’m eating a 4-course meal and the first 2 dishes are shit. Even if the rest of the meal is delicious, it won’t be enough for me to forget the taste of shit. 🤷🏽♂️
Some episodes are good some are meh but they do not push the story anywhere when in season 1 and 2 show had a clear point where it's going and then subverting our expectations. Now it can't subvert any expectations because there's no expectations. It's more like an anthology than a cohesive story. Nonetheless I will watch every damn episode of this show as soon as I'll be able to.
I get enough DEI at work I don't need DEI in my entertainment. DEI always means micro aggressions towards normal working people. Thanks Disney. You made Star Wars exactly like a bad day at work.
Its turning into cw flash.. where suddenly the entire neighborhood comes to clog the lead off the show till its canceled..
and then, and then, and then, and then...
Remember the story groups white board. . Diversity and dinosaurs were on it lmao
Anything Darth Kennedy touches turns to shit
I’d give Jon and Dave some slack. It was reported that execs demanded that baby yoda return in season 3 because they honestly believed it would help ratings. The combination of a major actress being fired and baby yoda being shoehorned back in after he wasn’t intended to be in the season made the entire script and story a rushed job that lacked continuity.
That's not true.
@@arthurballs9632 again it was reported. Maybe it was just he said she said. I feel like it makes sense. Like they basically had the entire series planned out from start to finish and it was originally going to have certain plots and arcs leading into other now-cancelled shows/movies. Also if you look at most grogu scenes in season three, they can all be taken out and not effect the over-arching plot. He’s just sort of there as a cute gimmick.
the first four episodes sucked but the 5th was finally good
When i started the show i without looking away once but this season its boring
If you watch other Star Wars shows it’s clear where this is going and it’s going to thrawn
It’s not clear at all when they’re concerned with pirates, a kid mandalorian, grogu, and bo Katan.
Is not the mandalorian now is the femalorian😂😂
Agreed
Agree! I got into the show because of some chick liked it. Was not worth disagreeing with :) The drama with Sith Lord Kennedy and Jedi Knight Favreau are more entertaining.So I support the show... The Last true vestiges of Lucas Arts! "LOL!"... WIPE THEM OUT LORD KENNEDY🥷! WIPE THEM FROM THE FACE OF THE UNIVERSE! AND YOU SHALL BE THE A TRUE DARTH OF THE SITH ... oh, I'm sorry. I digress 😂🤣
Madalorian season 3 is what you get when you put a movie director and a cartoon creator in charge of a TV show.
Hahaha
It got so much worse this episode lol
This season would be better is just didn't suck so much...
I'm pretty much done with the MCU and Star Wars
Every single episode of the mandalorean is badly written, this one just manages to be slightly more stupid and terrible.
This is the way 😒
I think it's pretty good. I especially enjoyed the episode on Coruscant. Had a good Andor feel. Every second doesn't have to be about Din. They are on that planet because its remote and dangerous, order 66 scene was good. Not every second needs to be about Din. It's called world building, I enjoy it.
Yeah, worldbuilding towards the sequel trilogy! Did you enjoy that part of episode 3 as well? That episode was Andor if Andor sucked.
What? World building for 30 minutes without showing literal title character on the screen? You gotta be kidding. This episode was ridiculous. They should've blended scenes between Mando and this whatever this is or just introduced it earlier in previous episodes. I didn't wanted to watch a short movie with painfully obvious story.
@@unicestwiacznoworodkow7 Yeah, after seeing that I finally knew how Boba Fett fans felt about the Mando episodes 😅
@@unicestwiacznoworodkow7 I don't need to see Mando every second of every frame.
@@shackti1699 I don't need it either. It's not even the point of my comment.
I know this episode was 5 days ago based on last weeks episode, but WOW. Here's why I'm really excited about the Mandalorian Season 3 so far. **((SPOILERS FROM EPISODE 5))** 1). Based on episode 5, it is showing the resurgence of the Mandalorians, the retaking of Mandalore, and the rise of a THIRD faction in the Galaxy, that we may actually give a crap about. 2). Din and Bo are spending a lot of time together. They always sit together, they do things together, they operate together. I'm getting excited at the idea that Din, Bo, and Grogu will actually become one big happy family eventually. 3). On Din and Bo, we'll find out in episode 6, but these two may together unite the Mandalorian clans. 5 doesn't finish that thought, we need to find out in 6, but Din earned the Dark Saber, and Bo is going for the Mythosaur. Together, likely with Grogu's help taming the beast, they can bring the clans of Mandalore together. 4). The world building here is HUGE even if you don't realize it. Just think about context. Jabba the Hutt is dead, and Boba took his place. It's a safe harbor for Din, and another third faction outside the Republic and Empire that is developing a "crime" syndicate based on honor and respect. Mandalorians are coming together, and now they are networking with other independent planets such as Nevarro in the outerrim. This may lead to a set of independent planets outside the two main factions that can actually operate successfully and protect themselves from external threats. Sure they're eluding to Snoke, but they're also eluding to the possibility of following stories OUTSIDE of those BS sequels that we hate so much. In response to people talking about that hell hole they keep their covert in, I'm surprised to see that EVERYONE seems to be forgetting that Canderous Ordo chose to put his Mandalorian clan on Dxun for a specific reason. It is dangerous, and it has dangerous beasts. You don't become the strongest warriors in the Galaxy without conflict, so they created their own conflict, and used the tests of the jungle to gain prestige among the clan. The armoreror alluded to this when she said Bo did the highest honor by saving a foundling. Why are they in a hell hole? Because they need danger to thrive, and too much comfort breeds sloth which is expressely against Mandalorian beliefs. Granted Paz Vizla countered this statement by saying they'd have a brighter future on Nevarro, but still, it's not like they're planning on truly staying there for long with the armoreror talking about bringing the clans together to retake Mandalore... which will of course take a... MANDALORE!!!! And that Mandalore will either be Din or Bo, or perhaps for the first time in Mandalorian history, they will both hold the title of Mandalore. As for a flash back to Order 66 again. Why is that bad? It's character development for Grogu. You know how scarred that 55ish year old baby must be, and he needs to overcome that himself to progress as a character and become stronger, and a stronger Mandalorian. We get to see a really cool fight scene, the redemption of an actor, and subtle character development, and the reason it is subtle is because Grogu can't speak so there's only so much information we can actually glean from his face but... hey character development is character development. In addition, it also alludes to how the Jedi have kept background channels and personnel after Order 66 as shown in the show, Kenobi. As for the mega fauna fight scene, come on, that was epic. Of course we know they're going to succeed, that's what this all built up to, and again based on episode 5 making a big conflict between Paz and Din would actually stiffle the plot and make the overall story slow down. But at the same time, come on. 90% of the time in all media you can guess what the outcome of a fight is going to be based on context. Enjoy the fight for what it is. Friggin' Mandalorians zooming through the skies, new weaponry made specifically for this type of situation, Din soaring through the air with a vibroknife, stabbing the thing in the foot and grabbing the kid, and the fact that the flying just looks SO GOOD. I loved the entire thing. Hey, maybe I'm easy to please after the sequels, but this is well above the Book of Boba Fett, and Kenobi, and I'd even say the Bad Batch even though I am enjoying that series. Enjoy the series for what it is, and remember it's only episode 4. 5 ties some things together, 6 may do more we will see. All I can say is, Wednesday is coming and I can't wait!
Homie took more time writing this essay then Disney took writing the mandalorian season 3 script. Lmao.
oof this didn't age well after E5...
Man have I got a surprise for you.
Your Bo love is BS man. She is a terrible and boring character and obviously you don’t get the fact that they are setting her up for her own series and Din can not be badass anymore just like they neutered Boba Fett.
Yup, imagine if other SW channels and fans would just tell it like it is then feloni and fav would, perhaps, finally admit it's time they hire a few good and versatile writers, directors and kill off shitty characters/actors who, I assume, must be personal friends of those two. Instead, people find excuses for why mandalorians stay on this hostile planet or why some silly dino is important. No hate but you criticize this show and some fans start flaming you and immediately blaming Kathleen Kennedy who allowed Tony Gilroy to make the best freaking SW to date. lol I don't know. Sorry for the rant and my Eng but I just wanted SW to be a little better than what we've been getting. Oh, they should have that kid died because of Mando and we finally some tension and sense of danger to him and grogu but no. Of course not.
YES. Thank you for this. I definitely have no hate for Jon or Dave, but like you said, I just wanted SW to be a little better. 😔
Funny how people want a resolution in the beginning of a series. Because you can't predict it?
I dont know how anyone can take this crap seriously after that whatever a lizzo is and jack black parody scene.
Bring back GINA! #Ginacarano Gina is Cara Dune! The Mando verse needs actual bad ass characters
Smoke is not cool (which is why his name auto corrected to Smoke) and nobody cares about him. Connecting the new SW to the sequels is a serious mistake.
This guy is the absolute gigachad of the starwars fandom
Didn’t you heard the news? Favreau wanted to leave grogu with Luke. Logical. Kennedy is making full changes and he had enough. I’m out and focusing on Ashoka show, he said. Guys Favreau & Filoni are true SW lovers…. Working for a woman who thinks the univers is some imature stuff for morons with money at end. My beloved franchise run by my mom basically.
How did this end up going woke😢. Mandalorian isn't even the star of his own show anymore
The Power Rangers vibe is strong with this episode. That's not a compliment, either.
I think the point is to build things up. I bet at some point Pav might save Din or even sacrfice himself for him because he saved his son. Grogu learning how to fight will probably play a part too, along with the Mandalorians settling on Navarro and the scientist being brainwashed and Moff Gideon escaping. If I were you i'd wait until it's over before claiming it's bad and that nothing happens.
Couldn't disagree more with basically all of your takes in this vid, but regardless, that was an honest and considered review, thanks for making it!
Haha no worries. Glad you’re enjoying the show and thanks for watching! 🙌🏽
What an irrelevant episode. They should have skipped to 5 where something actually happened
The episode from today I think finally set season 3 instead of random stuff we don't care about
too late to make controversial topic huh?
I mean yeah, I agree that the first 4 episodes are pretty mid. But there's no reason for your incessant whining about it. They're mid, not the worst thing ever conjured up by humanity.
Mmmmmmmm
Why does everything have to have an exact point and destination why is world building and just some fun going around and doing stuff in the world an issue to you there are way more issues with this show and your mad about the most nonsensical things
