The Mandalorian should have never been a movie, it was fine being what it was.
Moana should have never been live action, Disney has gotten lazy and unimaginative over the last 10 or so years.
Almost all like 98% of their last 20 movies have been remakes or bad sequels. No surprise that no one is running to the theaters to see a movie they’ve already seen. No one asked for these movies.
“I promise, this will be the
last, oh wait this will be the last, maybe last Toy Story”Mandalorian should’ve been one season. But content needs to be milked.
I’m both sad and happy Andor was only 2 seasons. It said what it needed to and nothing more.
If you’re talking about their twenty last movies each one would be worth five percent so it should be ninety-five percent not ninety-eight.
Thanks, I don’t know what I would do if I didn’t have Satans Maggoty Cum Fart
Do you know why I enjoyed the Mandalorian and Grogu? Because I didn’t expect much from it, so I was able to sit back and enjoy it. I didn’t expect an Oscar winning blockbuster, and I certainly didn’t get one. It was a cute and fun little romp. And that was it.
I haven’t seen it yet, but this is my expectation too. Just a fun movie that has characters I like. Nothing earth shattering.
I think that some fandoms get far too carried away with their expectations for something— setting them so high that it can never ever deliver, and they ruin it for themselves.
Edit: and as another commentor demonstrates further down, some people will even go so far as to try to ruin it for others
Itʻs a movie that continued to build on Favreauʻs basic idea behind The Mandalorian: itʻs the story a little brother comes up with when his big brother has taken all the main Star Wars action figures to play with his friends and left the little brother with all of the random aliens Kenner stuck in a blister card (but somehow the kid has a Boba Fett and Yoda). It really feels like the way I played as a kid, where Iʻd supplement my Star Wars figures with GI Joe and make stuff up. This film sometimes looks like a kid grabbed some Warhammer miniatures and flew them around with die-cast Star Wars miniatures, etc. Itʻs awesome when viewed in that light and not from some self-serious mindset that treats Star Wars as akin to a religious text.
Aww, that’s kind of heartwarming in a way
Agreed I didn’t rush out to see it in theaters but have heard it described as just a longer episode of the show. I enjoyed the show but would expect a bit more out of this movie than ‘just more of the same’ but oh well. Gonna stream it eventually.
Yeah, I just downloaded it. Since I had nothing invested in it, I certainly didn’t feel like I lost anything.
But, like I said, I actually enjoyed it.

I guess making your own life miserable just wasn’t enough, huh? You had to try to spread it around.
How sad for you
The Mandalorian and Grogu is fine. Not great. Certainly didn’t feel like a blockbuster. But it is enjoyable. I’d compare it to a Muppets movie in scope and feel, but honestly Muppets movies incorporate some wicked humor that puts them a step above this. Still, I’m a Star Wars fan and I love getting more Star Wars stuff. Except Episode 9. That can fuck right off.
Moana, though? Moana was an incredible movie. Animation was the perfect medium. The songs and voice acting were great. How could “live action” improve on that?
Look at this:
Does anything look better or more interesting in any way in the live action version? There is literally no reason for this to exist. It looks worse in literally every way.
Everything looks absolutely washed out like a cheap Netflix series. I hate how movies look these days.
They should’ve saturated the fuck out of the film. It should be bright and colorful like they just invented color movies. That movie should look like someone recreated it out of skittles.
You could drop a still from The Dark Knight into that list and you wouldn’t be able to tell without squinting. Is that Hei-hei, or is it The Scarecrow?
Can’t wait for Disney to adapt Encanto and the only colors in the movie to be grey, beige and brown. If this is how they colored Moana, that takes place in a tropical island, Encanto has no hope.
The part that buys yachts and loads debt on to other parts of the company?
Even when Disney loses, they still win.
The mouse always wins
