I'm going to start with the positives and then work my way to the negatives.

Positives:

Bo-Katan wasn't fridged and this time maybe Bo can lead Mandalore and Mandalore doesn't get eradicated before the Sequel Trilogy or blown-up.

I am kind of glad the Dark Saber's gone 'cause ever since that duel with Maul the darksaber being passed around has really screwed Mandalore over.

Also to quote Monty Python: "Listen. Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony."

Like, yeah Duchess Satine became ruler, she also had a consensus from her people.

3. It was a fun Fury Road type ending with Bo getting Mandalore back and then Din off traveling with Grogu having done his part.

Now for my bugbears:

They didn't mention Satine at all. And kind of found a way to disparage her, as if Satine didn't give Mandalore the planet space and time to heal. Does Favreau have an issue with Satine? Is he like his character Pre Vizsla really not into the idea of Satine and what she represented???

2. We sure didn't see Din's face. What's the point of hiring Pedro Pascal if we can't see Pedro Pascal??? Did filming Last of Us really impact the filming of Mandalorians that much???

3. This episode nerfed the red dudes pretty hard, like I was always lukewarm to them as a concept but to be nerfed like that. The war also was not great, directing wise.

4. Another directing / cinematography vibe. Mistaking blur and out of focus for a big war.

It didn't help I already have an idea what siege of Mandalore looked like. Its not fair to compare but I can't help what's already in my head.

The director didn't help his Mandalorian vs Imperial Super commandos were all done mid-air. It was hard to follow the fight, I didn't have anything to latch on to.

Below is a snippet from Clone Wars where there are jetpacked Mandos vs jetpacked Mandos:

In a similar event where Bo and her forces have to re-take Mandalore, it helped that the action slowed down and let us see a clearer picture before returning to action.

This episode was messy and jumped around and I'm just... its really hard not to compare the Mando series to the animated series. One thing the animated had was length of time, so that might be unfair but also they told a story in 25 minute chunks.

It was all just so rushed.

Favreau's main writing flaw I've found is how he rushes things and wants to resolve a cliffhanger so fast the tension from the previous episode is basically gone.

Something Im still not sure I understand is why Nandor and Marwa are getting married when she is already his wife? Is it not technically a vow renewal?

made a chart of the straw hats' skin tones with the colors being screencapped directly from the episodes, to show how much they've lightened. this is more than just an "artstyle change" or "design evolution" or "just the timeskip" this is blatant racism/colorism. it's fucking ridiculous and i don't understand how toei is continuously getting away with it please reblog btw, i think this is something people should see

#didnt include chopper/brook/jinbe for obvious reasons but i think even choppers fur has gotten lighter brown #even nami and sanji the characters who were pale from the beginning have gotten PALER #fucking INSANE how much usopp has lightened when you look at it side by side like this. and franky too which i never really took note of #the sabaody colors are screencapped from episodes 217/218/219 by the way #i just forgot to record exactly which episode theyre from so i just labelled them as sabaody #and by “screencapped directly” i mean like i literally screenshotted the characters and zoomed way in #and cropped a square of their face/arm #and made sure it was in average outdoor lighting not mood lighting/dramatic lighting so this is as accurate as possible #one piece #usopp #luffy #franky #nico robin #nami #sanji #vinsmoke sanji #monkey d luffy #zoro #roronoa zoro #casey posts #toei animation #toei #straw hat crew #straw hats #one piece discourse

it was played as a joke but

there's something genuinely harrowing about gorgug and kristen on the deck of the ship, pelted by rain, swarmed by dragons, these two teenagers looking at each other with wide eyes trying to bury the fear down deep, and

do you remember when we died?

they were freshmen, they were children, they were two years younger but it feels like a hundred hundred years ago

it feels like yesterday, because deep down they're still that boy hiding his too large frame behind a metal flower and a girl stuffing her too large personality into the pages of her bible

do you remember when we died?

the ship rocks violently with cannon fire, hands of fear and divinity and loss creeping from the clouds

do you remember the day you lost your faith?

do you remember a forest so sharp it cut you clean through?

do you think we ever woke up?

#I literally paused in the middle of the episode to type this about a throwaway line what's wrong with me #fantasy high #dimension 20 #fhjy spoilers #gorgug thistlespring #kristen applebees #my writing #sure I'll put it in the writing tag. why not.

It's utterly magnetic when a character's rage is quiet and precise. When they don't scream and throw things but they just b r e a t h e and very very calmly aim their fury like an arrow shooting inexorably towards the target of their wrath. It captures my attention, I lean in close, I wait for the hit. It never disappoints.

#yes yes of course this is about #Dream of the Endless #to no one's surprise I'm still not over the Calliope episode #that confrontation with Richard Madoc sure was Something #Morpheus is Furious #and I have Feelings about that #Calliope #The Sandman #The Sandman spoilers #my faves
