So I got about halfway through Mando Season 2 at work today.
Things that amuse me to absolutely no end.
Mando CONSTANTLY foisting the kid off on people. He's like, I'm gonna throw myself down this krayt dragon's throat and am probably going to get eaten, but I'm going to trust the kid to this hot guy I met five minutes ago. Two episodes later, he leaves the kid with the Frog Lady. Also how much I adore her? And in that she calls him out on ALL OF HIS BULLSHIT. Including his nebulous interpretation of keeping his word.
2. Which brings me to my second point. I LOVE how Mando is a mean son of a bitch at times. He's a rule lawyering asshole who deceives multiple people by skating by the barest edge of his word. Does it to the dude in the first episode. Does it in the dude in episode 3 with the jetpack.
AND THEN HE HAS THE BALLS TO BE UPSET WHEN BO-KATAN DOES THE EXACT SAME THING TO HIM.
3. Man I hate what a waste Cara Dune was because she had potential. Sadly even recasting her would not wipe out the stench of controversy surrounding the character but can we PLEASE have another hot buff Amazonian woman to benchpress me I mean kick a lot of ass? Sadly, I think Disney has been scared off for life and I don't think that's going to happen anytime soon. What's Michelle Rodriguez doing these days? Just sayin'
4. I actually really like Bo-Katan, I know she's controversial and I GET why people detest the shit out of her but that's kinda...the point? You're not SUPPOSED to like her OR root for her. Not every character has to be likable and charismatic. Sometimes people are assholes and cunts and that's perfectly alright.
That being said, man, the second part of the season is definitely kinda all over the place, and I still detest the oh shit, we have to wrap up shit RIGHT NOW with two episodes later because we having too much fun with filler episodes, and now we need to fit half a season in two episodes trend that has plagued a lot of Disney SW shows, especially of late.
I'm debating if I'm going to stop after this. I really do want to watch Visions but that requires me...actually watching rather than letting it play in the background in my ear buds while I occasionally look over at the screen. So maybe I'll keep going even though S3 is not my favorite for a multitude of reasons. It's got some fun parts and I don't think I've fully watched i through since it aired. I remember throwing my hands up in disgust and eyerolling so hard I nearly broke myself over the jetpack jousting/fighting in the last episode.

I keep talking to Grogu like he’s my child and he’s not on a TV screen. I love this show so much. Can Pedro do a series of audio books? I’d just listen to his Din Djarin voice or voice in general for a bit. Also is season 2 intense or is it just me?
EDIT: He has audiobooks. I need to find a place to listen to them that won't charge me an arm and a leg. : D Ghost Radio is 7 hrs and 55 minutes. But the rating on it isn't all that good. But I’d still give it a listen and probably read along. Thanks @ghostlyoaks for pointing out he has audiobooks and to google them, I don't know why I didn't think to do that before.

Here are all my May The 4th Star Wars heroine arts I've done in the past few years. I didn’t have to draw one this year to make one but here are the ones I did in the past 4 years.

Mandalorian Season 3: Episode Ranking
WHOO! It's that time again! Vote For Mighty Clocks comes back from the dead in order to write a very different post from anything he's ever posted before! Let's get into the episode ranking, and be warned, there will be spoilers for Season 3!
Episode 3: The Convert. I know this is a controversial first pick, but The Convert added so much depth to the galaxy, gave us a peek into Doctor Pershing's mind, an idea of how the Imperial Remnant managed to continue operating, and just so much juicy lore, as well as a predictable yet epic cliffhanger
Episode 7: The Spies. This one makes the high end of the list for much the same reason as The Convert. A lot of lore and depth was added here. The sacrifice of Paz Vizla was emotional, and the cliffhanger made us fear that no one, not even Din Djarin himself, was safe. It was everything we needed to save The Mandalorian. I only wish the finale lived up to the cliffhanger of The Spies...
Episode 2: The Mines of Mandalore. This is where I start to lose interest in Season 3 to be honest. The Mines of Mandalore was another great episode in my opinion, with all the lore and references presented, however in order for this to truly work, it needed strong context. That's where Episode 4 needed to pick up, and unfortunately it failed. Otherwise, this would have been much more impressive
Episode 1: The Apostate. At the time, I criticized it by saying it sacrificed itself for Season 3. It felt more like buildup than an actual, real episode. Looking back, I stand corrected. It was the most sane episode out of all we got, it left an open ended future for the show, and it's not like I wasn't excited to watch it. It held the individualistic nature of Din Djarin while keeping the political intrigue that comes with Mandalorians. The rest of the series needed to learn those same lessons. Even then, however, I'd be lying if I said The Apostate was what I wanted out of The Mandalorian
Episode 8: The Return. Look. This episode was garbage. But it was visually stunning garbage with amazing fights. Moff Gideon felt wasted, destroying the Darksaber was a mistake, they kinda cheated the sacrifice Din Djarin, Bo-Katan, and Grogu made, and as cute as it was, the whole adoption thing was basically Lucasfilm trying to bribe us into liking Season 3. BUT, aside from all that, the visuals were gorgeous, the setup for Season 4 was brilliant, and the show did a great job of reminding us how weak Grogu actually is. We needed to be reminded of that, especially since he's been shown as capable ever since Season 2
Episode 5: The Pirate. This story was kinda bland, and had a setup that ended up being completely ignored, however it's saving grace was the Mandalorian siege on Nevarro against the pirates. It was awesome!
Episode 4: The Foundling. This episode was just bland and lacked memorability. It's only silver lining is Bo-Katan doubting her beliefs. I hate Bo-Katan as a character, and yet I loved her in this episode
Episode 6: Guns For Hire. This episode was...cringe at best, and incredibly frustrating at worst. Grogu was adorable and I loved seeing Jack Black in Star Wars, however absolutely nothing about this episode screamed "Star Wars" beyond that. It relied too much on celebrity cameos and fanservice to truly be what any nerd wanted. This was an episode designed solely to keep casual fans interested in the show, and as a nerd, I found the episode as a whole to be insulting
This is where I abruptly end the post with no real elaboration

rewatching mandalorian with @ravioliofthesea and i wrote an actual essay-sized bulleted list (with his contributions) about how That One Scene in s2ep7 makes me bonkers in discord messages. i am importing it here. spoilers for aforementioned episode below
mando is in a position of extreme vulnerability. the only people with him are a shitty criminal that tried to put him in prison once, and a fuckingf imperial warlord. the criminal is helping out here
because of point 1, mando's body movement is limited. he's not used to emoting this much, so he holds his body stiff and rigid. he looks down at the table and barely moves his face, only glancing at people frmo the corner of his eye. when he's approached by that one guy he is frozen. this is a contrast to his usual helmet body language, where he cant really make small, subtle movements in his armor. his helmet keeps him from having peripheral vision, so he can't really corner glance people either. the discomfort in this scene is so visceral god
when first approached by the guy he stares straight at him like a deer in headlights. the dude is frozen
also the fucking harsh light?? in his face?? the light is coming from the window, lighting the side of his face that the warlord is looking. it's like he's in a fucking spotlight, which is how he probably feels right now. the side that mayfeld is on is in shadow (mando feels slightly safer with him)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
mayfeld is very respectful of mando. a lot of this is subtle body language, but when mando gets confronted by the warlord guy he awkwardly and very bluntly pulls in to save him. also after shooting the guy mayfeld immediately hands him the helmet and looks away when he puts it on, then assures him that itll be private. he also avoids making eye contact with him
Tumblr media
(from @ravioliofthesea) the helmet is mando's sense of security. it's how he's able to stay calm, but this is unusual state of complete vulnerability. mando looks to the table, then to mayfeld for security after the warlord says something especially shitty, and immediately looks him full in the face after mayfeld shoots him and it's clear they're in danger. this is where mayfeld responds by handing him his helmet after mando glances at him mayfeld immediately looks down to avoid eye contact
mayfeld is probably the best character to talk to the empire guy. he doesn't really care about personal honor, he is extremely survival oriented. the empire guy tried to appeal to him with morals and personal honor and greater good bullshit. if it was mando or anyone else, they would have questioned him or tried to debate him. mayfeld recognizes most of all that being a war hero doesn't fucking help anyone if they're dead. he also recognizes that the civilians they fought in his war were also trying to fight for their own survival
the transition from cold to hot anger in this scene is VERY. very good. mayfeld is able to contain it for most of the scene but the scene slowly gets tenser and tenser. you can tell he is ABSOLUTELY seething mad and it is SO satisfying to tell him that what's dead is dead. then he shoots him and then everyone else. one can guess that he's in a state of extreme anger (dead cohort) and panic (in danger). it's Go Man Go
combination of the past two points: it's such a mayfeld thing to do to just fucking shoot him. the guy cant be debated with he's off his rocker and also a military official🤢
he also deserved to be the one initiating the fight. fuck that guy
yeah the message here (fuckign. shoot the guy) is pretty blunt. i love it
this is also probably where he got his nihilism in the first place. did he have ideals? who fucking cares anymore man his entire cohort fucking died
the thing about what mayfeld said about still rules broken in harsh circumstances turned out to be true lol. as said above this is coming frmo a pretty survival-oriented person in the first place
in short the acting in this scene is VERY good and also military leaders who are Like that have it on sight

PLEASE DAVE I NEED A SCENE LIKE THIS!!!!!!
Rex: I wonder if we'll ever be put into songs or tales.
Ahsoka: [turns around] What?
Rex: I wonder if people will ever say, 'Let's hear about Ahsoka and the clone wars, order 66, peridea, you name it .' And they'll say 'Yes, that's one of my favorite stories. Ahsoka was really courageous, wasn't she, Dad?' 'Yes, my child, the most famousest of Jedi. And that's saying a lot.'
Ahsoka: [continue walking] You've left out one of the chief characters -Captain Rex.. the Brave. I want to hear more about Rex. [stops and turns to Rex ]
Ahsoka: Ahsoka wouldn't have got far without Rex.
Rex: Now Commander, you shouldn't make fun; I was being serious.
Ahsoka: So was I.
[they continue to walk]
Rex: Hmm…”Captain Rex the Brave...”

You can't tell me bo-katan and din don't have sibling vibes like "I want to be left alone" but the second she realised he's in trouble she was getting her guns and ready to go

Pedro Pascal isn't actually playing the character in person, Greef Karga's actor died, season 2's beautiful ending was made pointless, Gina carano got herself fired, the main villain was killed off, the darksaber plot amounted to nothing and it's increasingly obvious that fauvroni have no idea what to do with the show/plot/characters going forward
And they want to make a movie
