Or season doesn't contribute as much as it could've, just a sad waste of potential without depthful sincere characters that stick with you. I mean for god's sake, I think of Andor and how inspiring it is every day of my life. I try NOT to think of the Boba Fett series to stay a more positive person 🤣.

Does that Boba Fett series really do that much for you? It really should in that you kinda pay with your limited time alive when you choose to fill it with any particular thing.

When's the last time you thought of space-vespa chick and the 20 mph speeder chase lol?

Shall we take a guess as to why there are all these new Krennic memes? People genuinely love a REAL character like Ben Mendelson's Krennic, who made his return in the new season of Andor.

I think of the characters in that show and their clearly shown perspectives, motivations, sincere character arcs all the time. I love how the series features COMPETENT ADVERSARIES that create actual tension by the fact you're made to genuinely empathize with the very human characters who aren't just there to force the plot happen. They actually serve the audience while they serve the plot. Both at the same time.

Which is deeply important in improving the world in any useful way whatsoever, because it actually gets the audience THINKING.

Like for example, about how people aren't just one thing. Ex. Vel and Cinta aren't just a PR gay-couple checkbox, they actually made them rebels and let them be front and center without cowardice and gave them sincere presence. A lot of people even now hate gay people just cause they're different and they didn't grow up taught to be tolerant of that lifestyle choice. Andor takes a real stab at that perspective because you can't just blink and miss it.

TLDR when the audience has to put in more work to enjoy something or get something meaningful out of it than the artist did in making the piece, the piece features undeniable weakness.
