My thoughts on season 2

****SPOILERS****

This was a really good season with some dull moments. I found the passenger episode boring.
The episode directed by Carl Weathers Chapter 12: The Siege was probably my favourite. It was awesome.

The Dark Troopers were awful. Did not like them at all, and could have done without them completely. Rosario Dawson as Ahsoka was ok. Nothing mind blowing. But she as the character will be something to get used to.

I'm happy that the kid's storyline has come to and end, so to speak. I was bored with the kid at times. But the kid touching Din's face was really nice.

CGI Luke awful. Did not like that at all. The reveal of Luke was a massive surprise, but I have mixed feelings about it. Sebastian Stan should've played Luke.

Boba Fett in the story is also one of mixed feelings.

I love the series, and I thought this season was really good.

PS: Seeing R2-D2 again was wonderful. I love that little robot.

The reality is the show was too focused on the story of getting baby Yoda home. Getting him home could have been a simple quest that was always there but not always the reason for every episode, they could have spent a few episodes fleshing out the madalorian himself a bit instead of just having every episode as one step closer to dumping baby yoda. At this point I have no real connection with the mandalorian as the story is really complete... baby yoda is dumped off and the show is really tied up and done. Why watch any future seasons if they have any now?

I'd say the story of retaking their home planet could be interesting. Given that I wasn't all that sold by second season's
writing.... I suspect that the third season will be an even bigger disappointment for me. There are already hints that it may go into a full woke territory.

"may go into a full woke territory"???

Dude, it's been there since early in season one, and it's very irritating. It's the series' biggest flaw imho. This is
obviously the work of Kathleen Kennedy.

I'd say the first season wasn't all that woke - it was fairly neutral. The second season had quite a few woke moments.
The third season.... if going by the current trend... it's gonna be a shitshow.

[–] MovieManCin2 (26342) 4 years ago

It had its share of bullshit woke moments. The most cringe worthy one was when Cara Dune fought the
Mandalorian to a draw. RIGHT! That shit's gonna happen in the real universe! That irritated me.

And yes, it's definitely going downhill in that department.

The cowards in Hollyweird continue to cave to the pressure from the SJW storm troopers.

I thought the first season was legit, but this season was.... subpar.
The first season was decent because it had legit humor, while also being on the brink of realism (as far as movie realism is concerned).
The second season.... after a few episodes, it went into a full blown star wars mode - white troopers get killed by a dozen, our heroes barely get scratched. The humor didn't do it for me this time around either. So, yeah.... while the directors are the same, writers are the same, the actors are the same, the writing/action sequences didn't do it for me this time around - to a point where I was rolling my eyes half the time.

I agree. Storm Troopers can't shoot worth a damn, and much of the action was cringe worthy.

Yeah I even posted a thread wondering if the Stormtrooper's get trained at all. The Dark Troops are just as incompetent. It is just eye roll inducing watching them get destroyed so easily. I don't see anything that special in how Mando etc fight either.

7.5/10 from me

* Can this show survive without Baby Yoda? We will see.
* The ep without baby yoda was faster paced but at the same time rather mundane too.
* The Dark Troopers and Stormtroopers are so useless it makes me wonder how good the Jedi and Mandolorian really are.
* Asides from Baby Yoda, I feel like the cast are replaceable. Nothing special about any of them.
* They need to make the Empire more competent, it isn't much fun watching them get killed so easily.
* I do not care about the Boba Fett spin off.
