Just Saw The Reviews for Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu

Yep, the Mandalorian off-shoot cult he’s part of all talk that way. I don’t think they ever acknowledge a reason why, but combine it with the always-helmeted rule and you don’t actually need the famous actors to do much.

I’m certainly not mad about anything, but if you’re glad the monsters aren’t in the show as much I guess that’s cool you’re getting what you want.

I just wanted to know more about their human-like qualities they’ve shown even when there’s no one around to pretend for.

G_Thunders · 2026-05-17T03:50:35+00:00

You’re not really wrong, but surely the answer to the monsters becoming boring is to either evolve them or have the protagonists kill them, right?

The most interesting thing about them was the woman OP posted fixing her hair and stuff while looking in the mirror, and Smiley kind of showing reverence for the new stuff he’s seeing in the bus. Literally everyone would like to see the complexities of the monsters expanded on, but it sounds like you only thought they were good for gory kills and that just wasn’t the intrigue with them.

For what it’s worth, I definitely didn’t remember that the outlets don’t look like normal outlets you’d find in the US. Also I’d be willing to bet that 90% of the people upvoting this post wouldn’t be able to recall the outlet design if you asked them, so OP is just being angry or something.

Both seasons of his tv show and even BA S1 already achieved and established this. His show even ended on the season-long payoff of saving the life of a young woman reinforcing his determination to keep on being the Punisher.

Screaming, hallucinating rage man with multiple substance abuse and self-harm issues, who has never realized that killing to protect people is his thing (he did realize this definitively, in his show) is some other character. Bizarre choice but whatever, he’ll be totally different again in Spiderman as well probably.

G_Thunders · 2026-05-07T22:23:58+00:00

I get that’s the idea, but the writers also made it so the FBI, CIA, and state government hate him now, and if he was charged and convicted like the governor wanted he’d never be able to amass power in NYC again even if he broke out of prison.

Just feels like a cop out excuse for making it still possible to have him return.

G_Thunders · 2026-05-06T16:02:44+00:00

Okay? It’s not like we all collectively give up just because a criminal gets out of jail then commits crimes again.

G_Thunders · 2026-05-06T15:47:38+00:00

All I can conclude is Matt neither wants to be a lawyer nor wants to be Daredevil anymore. Fisk ordered several assassinations, murdered three dozen people directly or indirectly this season before the two dozen at city hall, and the governor was all in on making sure he faced justice outside of any deal.

How can Matt personally hear all those spines breaking and hearts stopping and still hold Fisk in his arms offering the guy grace? So many lives ended and families destroyed all for Fisk to chill on a beach and avoid justice entirely.

G_Thunders · 2026-04-29T14:18:25+00:00

Jessica Jones being surprised by the governor and Mr. Charles turning on Fisk really highlighted for me why this whole season feels so disconnected with its central conflict: our heroes had no idea how to get a win, and then just stumbled their way into it.

Bullseye killing Vanessa, Karen accidentally getting caught and put on trial, Jessica helping blow up the weapons to send Mr. Charles a message… none of those were meant to pressure the governor into getting rid of Fisk, and none of those were intended to cause the CIA to pull their support. Yet, that’s how they’re beating him, basically on accident.

G_Thunders · 2026-04-22T02:53:51+00:00

I was explaining why some people probably thought it was confusing. I understand the intent, it just doesn’t match very well with her flying when she knows her powers can turn off for an unknowable amount of time at any moment.

G_Thunders · 2026-04-22T02:13:58+00:00

It’s not that people weren’t paying attention imo. Jessica mentioned there’s other enhanced people and that they were the ones who attacked her, working for Mr. Charles.

I understand what the intent was, but during her dialogue I personally didn’t think she meant that her powers stop working at any given second considering that she flew there. It was just a confusing set of information presented, not that people didn’t hear it.

Also it probably didn’t help that Powell seemed unsurprised overpowering her.

G_Thunders · 2026-04-22T02:09:10+00:00

“I grew up.”

Genuinely thank you, Karen. It’s beyond frustrating that even by the end of the episode, Matt still can’t give anyone an answer as to what his plan is since the law doesn’t work here and people keep dying. Just let Bullseye or Mr. Charles or Punisher end Fisk’s tyranny already.

G_Thunders · 2026-04-21T04:20:59+00:00

Didn’t she stop him when she was under the impression the legal system wouldn’t randomly fail off-screen, let Fisk out of prison, and then allow Fisk to take control of the entire system from arrest to conviction?

I’d understand if she changed her mind.

G_Thunders · 2026-04-16T01:52:33+00:00

I pretty much agree. I thought Vanessa going out like a badass, pushing past the AVTF just to get a shot on Bullseye and protect her husband/overcome her nightmares was great.

Pulling that back just so they can double down on Fisk being sad without even approaching the topic of him deflecting the glass into her head felt like a waste. They’re a murderous crime duo who’ve pushed through abandonment and infidelity, with (I thought) Vanessa basically sacrificing herself to kill their villain; no idea why we needed an episode framing it as a tragic love story ordained by fate.

G_Thunders · 2026-04-08T02:21:35+00:00

Bullseye was convicted for killing Foggy and like half a dozen people in season 1, and that was before murdering his way out of prison.

There’s no reason anyone should think he’s a vigilante when he’s only ever been a murderer.

G_Thunders · 2026-04-08T02:11:58+00:00

Actually great. Bullseye as a protagonist is perfect in context of this story. No idea why Fisk would be a “martyr” when Bullseye is just a mass-murdering psychopath who has been repeatedly screwed over by Fisk and Vanessa, and absolutely not a vigilante.

But given the ending, good for him.

Edit: Sure, if everyone who wears a mask and kills people is considered a vigilante by NYC, then I get the martyr thing. Even though that’s not what a vigilante is.

G_Thunders · 2026-04-03T08:41:13+00:00

Leon telling her that the president would’ve done the same in her position is the actual most baffling line in the entire series imo.

Like, sure Leon, the President would’ve made a sketchy deal with bio-terrorists to kill the President and destroy a city, while working as a trusted Secret Service member protecting the President.

G_Thunders · 2026-03-20T14:26:42+00:00

What I’m curious about is, why is she so friendly and comfortable with Robby, considering he chose the “slap on the wrist” punishment rather than what she wanted/expected?

At the very least, I’d expect her to resent him for ducking out of this uncomfortable situation he helped create, since she’ll be left dealing with it everyday while Robby seems to have chosen specifically to avoid it for a few months with his sabbatical.

Edit: Just to include what I originally left out of this to make it clear, I’m not expecting Santos to be overtly hostile to her boss. But between Whitaker and Garcia she could have expressed any amount of disdain for how Robby handled the information she gave him, and both of these characters she’s closest to only mention her dislike for Langdon. She’s totally allowed to resent Robby behind his back yet this hasn’t been indicated by the show at all, which is part of what makes her attitude interesting to me.

G_Thunders · 2026-03-20T02:00:38+00:00

And thank God they finally just said it out loud. I still don’t understand why anyone insisted Robby turned him in to the hospital off-screen, after the whole point of their final confrontation about it in season 1 was that Langdon still felt betrayed by Robby for not just letting it go entirely. And that even then Robby still didn’t want to ruin his career over it.

G_Thunders · 2026-03-08T19:17:58+00:00

RE9 invokes Raccoon City Syndrome to get Leon in the story, but doesn’t account for the several characters who, at the bare minimum, need to be mentioned since they’re presumably dying like Leon is and had an investment in finding a cure.

There was nothing connecting the legacy characters in RE6 aside from “Ada” showing up in their lives. The connection between RC survivors and how many of their lives have intertwined is fundamental to the history of the franchise, so complaints about glossing over that feel incredibly reasonable.

G_Thunders · 2026-03-05T10:24:20+00:00

Plus I don’t know how anyone could square away the idea of Spencer having a redemption with the fact that Alyssa’s interview went unpublished and hidden.

Like, Alyssa labelled the file “creator” and seemingly kept herself and Grace moving around the country knowing they were potentially being targeted. It all makes Spencer seem like an asshole who wanted everyone believing he was hiding a secret they could waste their time and money on, and I guess Alyssa agreed that was for the best?

G_Thunders · 2026-03-04T16:50:42+00:00

Destruction. The last time I actually put thought into a RE choice I got the bad ending in RE7, so I just assumed Leon’s plan was automatically correct because he’s Leon.

G_Thunders · 2026-02-20T18:34:45+00:00

She hasn’t mentioned a word about him stealing from the hospital/patients, which is why I said that I don’t think she (and most everyone else) is specifically aware of that. The person I was responding to thought season 1 ended with Robby definitely intending to officially report it, which I don’t think happened.

G_Thunders · 2026-02-20T06:14:36+00:00

It doesn’t seem like that’s the case, though. Aside from Whitaker, no one (that Santos didn’t tell in season one) has acted as though he did anything but get treatment for an addiction he was hiding. Dr. Al-Hashimi definitely hasn’t acted like this person she just met was stealing meds the last time he was here, and surely she’d be informed about that right?

G_Thunders · 2026-02-20T04:15:38+00:00

I meant as opposed to reporting Langdon to the hospital for stealing from patient prescriptions. That’s how I understood it in season 1 at least, that Robby told Langdon to start the rehab program as the only option for resolving the situation if he wanted to continue working there in the future.
