It's season 6 of a cartoon, now in live action, and every line is a reference to the cartoon and the camera lingers on any shot for an extra seconds or two and it makes the thirty minutes feel like 60.
Add a handful of plot-dumbness and it's bad.
Not the worst, had a few moments, save Ray Stevenson is pretty good.
Love the music.

the two human girls can't fight. the choreography is mediocre, but they make it look terrible. I don't expect much from Rosario cause she's in her 40s and isn't/never was an action star, but if you're casting people who are gonna have multiple light saber fights maybe pick some who can sell it

also the pouty sidekick can't act

That's book of boba Fett, the show about crime lord bobba Fett on desert world. As illustrated here by CGI Luke Skywalker and Ashoka Tano having a conversation about Baby Yoda, resolving a key story element of how The mandalorian and The child get back together for season three of The mandalorian

So... I wasn't sure if Luke was a force ghost or what, but I guess not? Does this take place between Empire and Jedi? Doesn't Luke having more pressing things to deal with then a baby Yoda and whatever the lady in cosplay is?

Rosario Dawson seems somewhat badass where she could do lightsaber fights. She attacked a wrestler on AEW Dynamite awhile back and kinda won.

i dont know whats real anymore via-a-vis star wars marvel children disney slop anymore, so someone could easily troll with spreading information like this and it's like still a 50/50 chance it's real

which is more damning that anything could be real, and therefore there is a good reason $DIS is eating poo poo

Boba Fett just crawled out of the Sarlac, it's powerful stomach burned him but he was wearing armor, both plot and physical.
He then spends some time with the tuskens and it's the most interesting part of the show so obviously it adds up to nothing and goes no where.
Then there's like a two episode interlude that takes place after season two of Mando where we see what happened to baby Yoda, Ashoka and Luke, and baby Yoda decides he'd rather be a Mando than a Jedi and he and Mando fly off to save bobbs Fett.
It's MCU bullshit at it's worst.

But yeah, that's actual like Skywalker with CGI deaged mark Hamill doing the voice

All this too.
But the show opens with the title character playing the world's most tedious action RPG puzzle and we have to watch her rotate every disk and watch the environment light up after each twist.

Totally forgot about the bobby fett show, so not only does disney gently caress up a layup of a kenobi ronin show, they also gently caress up a boba fett crime lord show

They don't got what it takes. They could gently caress up the local weather report

rewatching Spiderverse 2, they should have cut the first 20 minutes. Gwen is at best the third most interesting character in the cold open, and her VA is decent, but replacement level compared to the other characters in this first chunk. it makes me wish this movie was more about Spider-Man 2099

its really funny how much of this multiverse fad basically boils down to hey check out all these really interesting ideas we could do with the characters if we wanted to anyway heres literally the exact same heros journey story weve already done five times in the last ten years

That scene is beautiful. It rips out the last bit of authenticity that movie fans clutch too along side their bibles and guns VHS and Lightsabers: live action actors and settings.

Everything is just cartoon animations now, and "live action realism" is just another style choice.


Can't wait for the trend of Bedroom star wars movies where some kid self-inserts himself into a movie over a weekend

they mystery-box'd the gently caress out of the show, it was disappointing. not even sure i finished season 2 since the politician lady's storyline was so lovely. huge potential, first few eps of season 1 were great

Yellowjackets started out really strong and it's going to end up terrible, but Ricci and Wood are shining beacons for Season 2 and make it worth watching, even if it's just to see what kind of trainwreck results from it in the end.

In related news, we finished season 1 of The Wilds and I was like "Where the gently caress are they going to go with this??" so we started season 2, and the answer is "They are going to do the exact same story as season 1 but with a different cast." I ended up falling asleep because I didn't give a single poo poo about all these new people, but my husband said it was okay and maybe I should rewatch and catch up. I can see why I got canned after season 2 though. It was already a ridiculous show and disconnecting you from any characters you might have been invested in was a bold (and stupid) choice imo...

Well after two episodes I'm sorry to say that...I'm kind of into the live-action One Piece? First ep is definitely better than the second but there's a weird optimism and charm to the whole thing that I'm into.

If they thought the setting could stand on its own we wouldn't have all the cross promotion bs we have gotten from wotc recently.

Also the best stories and characters predate the Planeswalkers they have leaned on narratively so I expect they will just do the avengers assemble vs bolas movie and it will be a poo poo as it is in your head right now.

didnt someone in this thread or somewhere say that the plot of the original magic the gathering is just some epic duel between wizards and the cards represent all the crazy poo poo they can do why cant the movie just be about that

season 2 is better than 1 imo. I find the show to be good overall too. My favorite characters in the whole series are the chubby kid who has a crush on the Progressive insurance lady and the little entrepreneur kid. The story plays out much differently for the boys, and at least half the show is still about the girls.

That's how it was for the first few years, but eventually there is a (bad and/or loose) story connecting the cards from set to set. It'd be fun for them to try to make a story out of that era if for no other reason than to see how many people don't realize that the main character (Urza) sucks nearly as much as all of the bad guys.
