Lol the complaints were a real stretch but as expected the company caved. Gotta' defend those sweet sweet Chinese box office takes.

I loving knew that when the Mandalorian introduced a female character, Ethan would flip the gently caress out. I KNEW it.

I only have excellent ideas
I haven't watched The Mandalorian yet-- although I've heard generally good stuff-- but did it really go four episodes without having a woman in it in any significant capacity? That seems like the wildest part of this.

No. There have only been maybe six major characters so far in the show and two are women. There’s Cara in the most recent episode and past episodes have featured a Mandalorian armorsmith who also functions as the de facto leader of a Mando enclave.

Ok cool, I was thinking "that would be nuts" and I'm glad I was overthinking it. I know I should just rip the bandaid off and watch it because it sounds pretty cool but I'm in grading purgatory right now and haven't made it out to visit anyone with Disney+ lately.

I mean in fairness there really haven’t been any major characters except Mando and the baby because there’s so little dialogue in each episode. Cara is also going to be a larger part of the show going forward and the show itself is still putting all the pieces together. This is the first real episode that’s felt like more than just part of a pilot.

i havent watched ep 4 yet but yeah theres only like 4 characters (including mando) with any dialogue longer than 2 sentences in the first 3 eps so it definitely doesnt feel like a misogyny thing. i think ming-na wen is supposed to be in s1 as a main character somewhere down the line as well

She's in like 2 scenes. Yes there are more than zero women in the show, but it's loving disingenuous to pretend it prominently features any women at all. Part of that is the only prominent character is Baby Yoda.

The tools of a hero mean nothing without a solid core.

At some point Ming-Na Wen's gonna show up as well, but I haven't a clue if it's just going to be a walk-on scene. Mainly I'm happy for the Disney/Marvel/Star Wars trifecta.

They're saying the Armorer is only in two scenes which is pretty true.

Yeah, haven't seen the new episode yet. The Armorer barely shows up and mostly exists so the Mandalorian can ignore her advice/orders. And that's fine by itself, the main character ignoring the advice/orders of their boss is a staple of movies and tv in general and Star Wars in particular.

But loving do better, have more women in ancillary parts, almost every other prestige show I can think of had more women in it within the first episodes.

The Armorer and the two women in this new episode are the only competent people in the show, besides the hermit.

Yeah, and when Wen joins WATCH OUT. This female character is also AN ASIAN so the infection will be complete I guess.

That... isn’t true at all though? The only thing that comes close is when she suggests a certain animal for his signet and he declines because it wasn’t a clean kill. Other than that he’s treated her with complete respect and her role in the enclave is treated with reverence.

You can tell some are struggling with it and are confused because they love the new show but youtube man is saying sjw's woman bad so they dunno what the gently caress. And I find it hilarious.

Hopefully a few will have a "are we the baddies?" moment, but it's probably gonna be the mental gymnastics Olympics this whole next month.
