They killed the golden goose by pushing message and crapping on the fanbase.
Of all the stuff Disney put out only some of Mandalorian, maybe Rogue One, and possibly Andor could be considered actually watchable. None of it was really good and nothing was worth a re-watch.
Most of it was "women and diversity in SPACE!" with nothing compelling behind it.
Mandalorian was complete garbage from the start
Amen. People talk like Mandalorian S1 was some kind of high water mark, but it felt like drab Power Rangers. Literally, in the case of episode 3, where the other Power Rangers fall out of the sky to save the day, completely unmotivated and with the thinnest possible set up.
S1 was people proving that for all their "DISNEY KILLED STAR WARS ITS OVER I HATE THEM" they'd all come crawling back like good coomsoomers for the barest crumb of fanservice and defend their gods again.
Which is a very bad thing to teach corporations is possible to do with a fanbase.
It was timed right. Meaning that it came out after the shit trilogy and wasn't connected to it in any meaningful way. I think people, myself included, gave it a huge pass at the time.
The acting was bad, the production was bad, the plot was bad. The only thing it had going for it was being not ENTIRELY filled with gay commie aids
It was a decent show with a simple story that was well told.
And that is enough in today's age where writers try to one up everyone else, the original creator and their audience. No hundred plottwists that make no sense, no characters acting out of character to push a writer's agenda into the face of the audience.
For mandolorian specifically I'd add season 2 being a veiled advertisement for a significantly worse show coupled with- probably- general fatigue of Pedro Pascal as an actor
Pedro has fatigue? Mental maybe. Bordering on illness.
He looked pretty tired to me sleepwalking through the back half of tlou
How does ha have fatigue? From what I understand he only does the voice. Two other actors do the physical acting.
It misunderstood. He’s saying people are getting tired of Pedro Pascal. He also ended up being very political.
He’s not that good. He was middling as a gay man on Game of Thrones and he’s just a drain in everything else.
