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.
