@@ashman8891 Boba in the Sarlacc?

😆 Yep. I was like sure, lets all make camp and enjoy a meal and let the beasts stomach settle for a while after his. 😒👍

@@eiler1987 The sarlacc is an intelligent creature that deliberately keeps its victims alive to psychologically torture them during digestion. There's nothing to suggest that the flying creature was intelligent in any way to do the same. Plus if it is imitative of birds of prey on Earth then the kid would've been placed inside the nest and eaten the same day. There's zero chance of him surviving that long. This whole episode is just lazy writing to create justification for a future episode when Bo inevitably decides to lead the clan to revitalize Mandalore as the new ruler of the Mandalorians. Probably leading to a conflict between her and the armorer

@@ashman8891 oh I know. Just using the little bit of possible loop hole logic they will try to suggest. On how he survived unscathed

I hope they do more of those stupid scenes with the toy tossing. I need some entertainment lol

It looks bad, but like the bad I like. Obviously it is a doll and I don't want the baby flipping around like Yoda. This is obviously jarringly like just pulling up hard on the strings of a puppet, but I like it anyways.

it would be weird if that's the case considering episode 3

More like moms adore Grogu. Kids don’t really like baby characters all that much.

Ya boy is right

Truth is they just want to sell toys and merchandise. Why make a good show if you don't respect your fans. So expect terrible writing and stories from Disney. This is the way

Absolutely on point, aside from the episode 3 side plot (which feels like it was ripped from another show altogether) this whole season has had brainless saturday morning cartoon vibes. I even got the impression when the season opened focusing on the child foundling that he was supposed to be some kind of stand in for the intended audience, "see kids, you can be like the Mandalorian too! Don't forget to buy all your Mando toys and accessories just like boring foundling kid over here!"

Yeah them stopping for camp made me lose all immersion

Yeah.. wouldnt the night be the best opportunitu for stealth mission anyways.. this was so dumb

@@siipis7766 they can see where they're climbing. If only they had night vision googles or something, but i guess they are just not technically advanced enough

When the big Mandalorian guy says "He is my son", is it a foundling, or his biological kid? Just wondering if Mandalorians get a pass on not removing the helmet for sex, or do they do it with the helmets on?

@@inswarlock09 there's a difference between shooting into the blank ocean because you have no other options and being on land and doing it. The ocean is great for a down range safe area but at least have some floating targets there.

filler episodes are wack regardless

@@yeetnessmcfinn501 "filler" doesnt always apply as a concept though. The good star trek shows werent structured with a focus on an overarching plot most of the time.. It was very much an episodic "what will the crew encounter this week" structure, which was great. Mando season 1 had a lot of that going on and I loved it.. Season 2 introduced more pressing plot elements and reduced the episodic angle a bit. The problem isnt "filler episodes" Its that the direction of the show took a more plot heavy angle during season 2 and season 3 refuses to follow up on it whch is really annoying.

Filoni is 100% a great worldbuilder, but let's be real his writing skills are lacking. Clone Wars took a long ass time to finally get good. Filler episodes are basically what he's known for, which are unfortunately getting brought over to the Mandalorian.

​@@MaMastoast I prefer plot. Episodic stuff bores me.

Exactly what I was thinking. I have been watching the clone wars for the first time recently, and really enjoying the episodes that branch in different directions, but here there’s no time for that

I thought the same thing.

Yea when the guy was like "they always get away and kill the kids" I literally said "what the fck?" - then when they set up camp for the night I completely lost my immersion

Look, it's obvious the dragon had other plans for the kid. Maybe it wanted to play chess with him?

​@@lkupiec1978 It probably wanted the kid to teach it's kids The Way.

When I saw the Dragon thing fly up to the nest and burp up the Mandalorian kid and he was dry and in one piece I was like this is idiotic writing. Totally took me out of the show. It would of been cooler if the kid came out with half his legs melted off and dead! 😆

Has anything REALLY happened in this show at all tho? Season 2 felt like it was leading somewhere and then - Luke Skywalker fan service and the season ends.

@@firstlast9846 at least it had a concise plot line, like there’s a goal. In this season I don’t think there’s an actual plot it’s just like the season is a whole filler episode, at this point just give bo her own series like boba fett

​@@LegendaryArticunoi was just about to say this

That’s how you know these guys care about the show

Understatement of this season

a crawling speed for the plot is fine. like last week that spent time introducing new characters and B-plot was done slow but meaningful. this week they barely made 2 steps with any story anything that was mentioned outside of the events of that episode were reminders of what happened last week

I don't really know how you make Grogu more than he is right now. He's like what, 50 to 100 years from being the equivalent of a teenager/young adult? He's kind of stuck being Star Wars Pikachu unless they do a lengthy timejump.

I feel like I'm watching a different show. Are people on a hate brigade or avoiding some show don't tell moments. Bo-Katan's change is shocking to you. The entire 2 episodes explain it. She bathed in the water, and saw a thing of legend that represents their creed, plenty even in real life switch religion over merely surviving a traumatic event or meeting someone who seems holy aka its the old agnostic vs religious debate. Its taking a simple idea, oh mando is stupid religion dumb and making it more gray which is fair given the force and other religious aspects of starwars. She saw them as cultists, was symbolically baptized, came out of the water, accepted into a family. The Mandalorians are shown as a found family, they encourage foundling and finding people to join. (AKA they took the children of the monster they killed on accident sorta.) They call people they look over their kids. The symbolism still stands that they feel like orphans, eat alone, feel alone, and feel they aren't actually a part of the family they have. She constantly feels or shows by body language she doesn't know if she is about this, she asks them questions about eating, and so on. (Note the meme of her being all alone in that castle vs now. But juxtaposed to her still eating alone.) A lot of stuff is here in these episodes, maybe I'm not seeing all the stuff to hate, or I got to watch back-to-back, but I feel this season is more character and story less overarching do this to save the --- which I like. Less defeat the evil win storytelling. I'll admit thou I'm not big on nitpicks and the stuff that takes others out of a story, like lack of an explanation for the boy surviving don't bother me as I can assume from clues they have had this occur before, and the creature keeps them alive etc. To be fair people also love to state joe reviews are near flawless with great call-outs for issues when it's just his opinion as he says and in actuality he gave great stuff with universal praise bad scores because he just wasn't in the mood (stranger things season 4) and wanted the plot faster or didn't like binging so much material. Which can be hard.

I laughed out loud at that scene.

Apparently Kathleen dumbass Kennedy was messing up the production of S3 and she for some weird feminist reason was telling the director what to do with the story… I still don’t understand why they don’t want some good reviews because there’s CLEARLY tons of capable people willing to make great Star Wars content BUT…. no

I think your onto something

They did that for the views i think. They are experimenting to see what is getting the most views. Once they find the formula every star wars show will blend into each other

​@@HappyDude1 Oh nooooooooo

@@ironmaster6496 Ow yeaaaah 😁 So it will be like netflix Just all the same generic crap

They kind of already did that with the spider thing in season 1 though. They could have just set up the whole hunting party led by Bo from the beginning as the kids first hunting trip. Then have the kid get caught on the hunting trip so they are saving him right away and they still get the whole hunting party bonding moment they wanted.

@@TrevorH89 Literally both of these are more well-written and should've been called out in the early script writing phase, the way the episode progresses with "and then" story beats is crazy, the Matt and Trey vid talking ab story really let me see when shows do it poorly

The money went into their pockets.

because they have so many other shows to make, not just Mando... budget cutbacks, and corporate interference

Disney+ need to make proper length episodes or just give up. Like I’m not paying my monthly sub fee for episodes of the same length as a sitcom. Filoni is not making an animated show but is stuck in that mindset.

@DillsyYourDaddy67 There are people who struggle to run one successful show over multipe seasons, let alone multiple shows across multiple seasons, with unpredictable project and budget stripping or cancellation... Disney is very volatile since the Pandemic, as is everybody else... they are not above it all even with 'wipinig their asses with billions'... those billions don't all go to Favreau and Filoni... they also invest in other things, other projects... think.

"I saw you, so go for a swim in Lake Minnetonka, again!" I feel like I'm in 4th grade on the playground.

“She doesn’t even go here!”

This was so fucking stupid hahaha. I just imagined everyone finishing eating and now they've got to wait an extra 20 minutes just to make sure everyone else is done. "Hey , guys... is everyone finished?" For a culture with so much camaraderie and brotherhood, it's dumb they can't even enjoy a meal together.

​@@LawlTwins Mandalorians never had that rule to begin with in old lore. Yeah, you saw them only with their helmets on in games, but they weren't forbidden to take them off. It would make more sense, to never show their faces to Outsiders, but show them to oneanother to bond with their brothers and sisters.

@@Thareldis I am not totally against the helmet thing. It’s just that they need to tone it down just a bit. Like you can take it off at specific times or it’s taboo for it to be removed during battle. My big problem with the cult is that other than the helmet thing, the cult hasn’t done anything really culty

I thought this😂 so stupid

bwahaha... I love how they think they are answering nitpicking fan concerns but still set themselves up for more idiocy

a fire which only the leader gets to use while eating. I wonder what happens if someone finishes eating faster than her and comes back while she is still eating.

And did you notice when the mama dino came back to the nest, she can sniff out the big boy Mando? It has a good sense of smell, if mama dino was at the nest at night, it would smell their fire under her nest and gank the lot of them in the dark. Which leads to my next question, where was mama dino at night? Taking the Mando kid for a sight seeing moonlight tour of Kong Island???

I think Bo does which is why she went to the ship instead of flying

"Guys, you don't have to walk off into the darkness to eat alone, you could just... you know... turn your backs against each other?" 😆

@@LizardSpork it has to do with the fire too only the leader of the job gets the warmth. Mandalorians make things hard on themselves on purpose. Why else stay on a planet that is actively trying to kill you

That one's definitely more meaty. Hour long episodes for season 3 too.

It's like the Book of Boba Fett writers have taken over

I mean birds have a crop that they store food in. But as a biologist I laughed my ass off during that scene as the kid would have been either ripped up and fed to them right away or so bashed up and broken from being compacted and crushed. Also eating mandalorians is silly. They wouldn’t know how to get the armour off and likely would struggle with digestion. Taking one once is fine, but multiple times seems silly.

This season feels like the Boba Fett writers are in charge of it.

i dont think the tracking time scale was days, kid taken midday, chased for under and hour, bo returns with nest location an hour after that, war party sets, out camps the night, attacks in the morning. that is still too long though for an urgent mission where an animal likely has already eaten the kid within the hour
