#the mandalorion season 3

[cupcake-hearts]

What's been on my mind all day?

(What you didn't ask?)

Ok I'll tell you-

Paz keeping his calm through the entire mission, up until the last leg. Up until he he hears that there's a heat signature in the nest, and then he throws caution to the wind. Its like he realized his son might actually be alive. They've never recovered a foundling from the raptor. He was preparing himself for the worst. Which means all during the flight and all the night before he was telling himself not to hope. Ever since he ran out of fuel and had to watch the beast fly off with his son. He went on that mission because he felt it was his duty as a father, but he never expected to find Ragnar alive.😢

I must say that Bo Katan's conversion to Din's "cult" has got to be one of the worst things I've seen in tv recently. For many reasons. It was so terrible in fact that it has well and truly kicked my interest in the show down a terrifying hundred degrees.

I know a lot of people are up in arms about this season. And I'm devastated to be thinking so negatively of a show that has only ever brought me joy. Writing for The Mandalorian has never been amazing, but I was okay with that because I love Din and his weird little attitude and position towards the galaxy. The characters on the show were enough to keep it alive and fun and carry it without relying too heavily on a fantastically written script. And scenes that were meant to make you feel something did. Stakes were good, and the story progressed just fine. It was a fun, heartwarming show with some badassery tossed in. But holy moly and pie.

To start I can only guess at this point what the point behind Din being excommunicated was. He was obviously messed up over the fact that his family and clan let him go so easily but he understood and accepted the creed. I was excited after he had taken off his helmet and broken the Creed because it opened up this new way to explore the clan and the possible problematic aspects of how he was living and how the the clan worked. This in turn exploring Din's identity as a Mandalorian with the knowledge he's gained from Boba and the other Mandos from season 2. Maybe there is more than one way. Tie this to Bo Katan and her vehement dislike for the clan and the fact that they were together when he broke his own Creed we could have had a huge a fun and impactful conversation about mandalorians, his Creed, where Din stands when he's placed in the gray area of the Mandalorian identity. I'm not saying that the clan is inherently problematic or evil, none of that because subjectively, it's not, but there should have been some type of nuanced conversation that affected Din and his place in the galaxy and the fact that he had a foundling. Not only this but the fact that he had recently come into ownership of the dark saber which places him by Mandalorian tradition and culture at the head of Mandalore. Perhaps predictably I thought that season 3 would contain his battle and internal and external struggle as he's fitted into this place that he never thought he would be in. I was excited to see his relationship with his clan completely changed especially as he sees that he has a new place in the galaxy and starts to perhaps grow away from them which could have led to either an antagonist in Bo Katan or a reluctant ally, or both!

Din felt too listless over the entire situation. That was his family the people who raised him, the people he had sworn his allegiance to, were so quick to dismiss him without hearing him out. But nothing really came out of it, no emotion no internal battles, no anything. We were simply told that he needed to go and get baptized to be redeemed.

I struggle also with the concept of bathing in the living Waters and Bo Katan joining the clan. Baptism is just bathing if there is no intent behind the action. Din was baptized because of his intention and he has a little like prayer thing he said. Bo Katan on the other hand went into the waters to save him and nothing more. There was no intent behind her actions, in the ritualistic sense that there was for Din, which means she was not baptized. And technically, at least in my eyes, it should be null and void the fact that she went after him into the water. And if the show simply was implying that the water held special magical properties the whole thing feels cheap and fake and I hate it.

I think perhaps a lot of my discontentment with this season and Bo Katan's sudden acceptance into a clan that she had previously considered a cult, looked upon with disgust and disdain, came from the fact that we did not get to see this change resonate enough within Din, not even in the book of Boba Fett. Her being accepted so readily into the clan cheapened everything that we were supposed to care about when it came to Din and his redemption. It was humorous in the way that it felt like a slap in the face and salt on the wound, I can only imagine how frustrated I would be if I were in Din's position.

It also cheapens Bo Katan's character as well. What was the point in never showing us any kind of character development in her and then suddenly sticking her in this clan and making the audience think that that was natural and fine? If this was where her character was going since we introduced to her in season 2 I never saw it coming and I find it a strange diminishing of her character, when she could have been a wonderful foil to Din, an antagonist a roadblock, but also someone who he would eventually have to confide in in order to properly handle his new position with the dark saber and eventually maybe it would lead to them having a dual where Bo Katan could win back the dark saber and everything before worked up to put her back on the throne and she learned valuable life lessons made her more tolerable of more people in the galaxy.

Or maybe she would see how much of a failed leader she's been and would come to accept that Din is the Mand'alor. I don't know. And I never will get to know.

I would say more but I think I have too much to say truthfully. All I know is for the first time I've felt disappointment and disinterest in a show I absolutely adore and it's heartbreaking. But I'm tired of accepting poorly made choices in writing for shows this big though. I'm sick of being told to sit and enjoy it and stop complaining when it genuinely sucks. No matter how much I love it. I'm not happy with it and as a viewer I deserve more than half baked plot points and non existent character arcs.

I genuinely find it funny that people are mad at the plot of The Mandalorian Season 3. Like have you people forgotten??

Supernatural was on for like 15 years. Half the time there was no arc. No plot. Some seasons shit was just happening to happen. And you know what, we ate that shit up

You think the BBC Sherlock had a neat ass plot? Nope, stops making sense after series 2. Shit just goes off the wall. And we loved it.

The Vampire Diaries, Pretty Little Liars, Once Upon a Time - ALL of these are popular long running shows that didn’t feel the need to cramp an entire story or arc into a season, let alone 8 episodes.

Remember when shows could put their characters and character dynamics at the forefront without demanding that every single action be to drive the plot forward? Remember when shows could have episodes that teach us about the character and their world without people getting pissed about 'filler'.

I'm sorry but I think fandom forgets really quickly how spoiled we are in the age of streaming.

Not every episode has to be a bombastic step to the next big baddy. Not every season has to be it's own contained arc. Characters are allowed to exist and develop like real people without the viewers demanding they be thrown back into action and despair for no other reason other than to drive the plot along.

I feel like the age of streaming has made us only care about the newest, biggest and shortest shows so we can devour the story as quick as possible and fuck off.

I'm sorry but sometimes seasons can be for character development and connections rather than someone trying to take over the universe/kill grogu and that's okay

Not everything has to be a mini 8-episode-movie. It can just be a show.

Here is my only prediction for the Mando season 3 finale. Grogu will violently murder someone with the hands of his mech suit. IG-12 will stick his thumb into Stormtrooper's eye, pick him up by the head. He'll hold the trooper there as Grogu looks at Din. Din will nod before Grogu makes the Mech rip the Stormtrooper's head off.

Mando will be like "Grogu, you came to save me" and then Grogu will press the "Yes" button.

That trailer was so cute to see father and son back at it again.

Plus we will finally see who was the Jedi that saved Grogu after Order 66.

Mandalorian S3 E1

so for those who watched it-

Did you see the armorer run to save that one guy? Like there were several other mandalorians falling down almost getting killed, yet she runs to get him (pretty sure it was a guy, male armor I mean.) Maybe I’m being stupid, but what if that was her foundling. She seems like the parenting type. I think I’m looking way too into this, but hey, Boba Fett started out the same way too.

I wanna name him. I wanna give him a backstory. And I can’t remember off the top of my head, what color his armor was. Once again, I’m pretty sure it was a guy.

Maybe people who experienced deep childhood trauma shouldn't be near the Armorer when she's forging something

The Armorer: Let’s have the first creed-taking ceremony in the living waters.

Bo-Katan: That’s where I saw the Mythosaur. It could possibly wake up and try to eat someone.

The Armorer: Perfect! We’ll let Ragnar go first. This is the Way

Mandalorian Season 3 was pretty good. Significantly better than season 2 and Novel of Boob Feet but holy shit. That finale was ass.

Here's the main issues with me:

-Uhh fucking. There was setup for the New Republic to be enemies with the Mandalorians. Obviously the Mandalorian didn't bust Gideon out but how come the New Republic knew that. Why didn't they launch some kinda attack against them. Imagine if Hitler was arrested by the British, then he went missing and the only evidence lead to the French. Now a French General walks into a British military base and goes "Oh yeah I killed Hitler btw". That's basically when Din did with the New Republic it's INSANE. Ik they're lazy but that cliffhanger with the prison transport should have done something.

-So Grogu was his last name??? Why did Ahsoka ask for his last name and not his first? Does he have a first? Ik Yoda was Yoda's last name but is that a thing for his species? Was Yaddle her last name? Din Grogu is a lame name.

-They should really just recast Cara Dune her absence in this show is kinda super noticeable. Instead of Mando meeting her to ask for work with the New Republic (his old and personal friend) he went to ask a cop who pulled him over twice and asked him for a favor once. Bizarre.

-Is Gideon actually dead? If he is that's cool. I wouldn't have expected that. If not then fuck but like. What's season 4 gonna be. Why didn't Mando live on Mandalore and instead chose a house in bog. Is he stupid?

-Why was last week's episode called "The Spies". There was no spy at all. What the fuck is happening.

-Dark Saber broke which thank fucking GOD I'm over that over hyped pos. But I do wonder why Bo Katan's group follows her now. Seems like they only did it bc she had it. Now she doesn't.
