Just wait for it to get closer to release, it's led by women so we'll get like 500 videos of WOKE MARVEL FEMINIST CUCK MOVIE IS GOING TO FLOP BECAUSE THEY HATE THEIR FANS! Which will do more than enough advertising
I mean idk even without all that outside noise it looks kinda mid imo.

Besides I think they've started already, they still on Brie at the least.

While it's not quite at the level of the first two seasons overall, I'm still not sure I'll ever fully understand this take or most of the criticisms surrounding the 3rd season.
Honestly I just felt nothing watching it. Like the only time I had any reaction at all was when I started cracking fart jokes whenever there was an explosion.

If you want actual criticism, I think it feels unnecessary after season 2 pretty much tied everything up and they just undid all of it throughout the season, some of the resolutions like Din just handing Bo Katan the Darksaber and everything regarding Moff Gideon felt very unsatisfying, and just like previous bad Star Wars shows it felt like the writers were playing with action figures rather than writing an actual story. They also succeeded at making me want to punt Grogu to the stratosphere, I'm sick of this thing.

No...

It really didn't... Season 2 left a ton of plot threads hanging.

Well that's just blatantly not what happened.

And this isn't actual criticism.



Season 3 Mando is roughly the same quality of the other two seasons. I'm not going to pretend any of the seasons are high art, but they're all enjoyable. There really wasn't this huge quality dip. People just fell out of the hype due to Star Wars overexposure.

It's like the MCU. People are so exhausted of it nowadays that even the good movies get thrown under the bus. It takes something really unique like Andor, or a big enough event like Spider Man or GotG to real people back in. Disney's biggest sin right now isn't an issue of quality, its an issue of constant streams of content exhausting moviegoers.

Maybe so, but it tied up Din and Grogu's arc in a really beautiful and human way. I don't love the first two seasons but I still appreciate what they did with these characters.

But they wrote themselves into a corner because Grogu is their mascot and they thought people would tune out if he wasn't there, so they brought him back. That's a perfect example of playing with action figures first and writing a story later.

Well that's just blatantly not what happened.
That is blatantly exactly what happened. They used the dumbest technicality to justify this after people speculated for a while how this subplot would be resolved. Textbook example of the writers just not caring anymore.

I don't think Mando season 3 is a huge dip in quality, but instead it has those tiny little holes that make it fall apart for me.

This is the most I thought about Mando season 3 since I watched it. I'm scrambling to remember things from it and I didn't engage with it in any way.

Also I disagree with the lack of quality thing but that's a whole different discussion

Alright I caught my Deoxys, and combined with the other two Deoxys I got from my pals I now have all of its forms.

Aside from currently unreleased Pokémon, this is the list of mons I'm missing:

Three of these are event Pokémon, so I'm trying to get them through trades. If any of y'all have any of them and are willing to trade, hit me up.

The rest... Are going to have to wait.

Alas, I am incapable of childlike wonder
This episode really made me love Yasunobu and I'm not just saying this because he got a shirtless scene.
The guy reacting to that was the director of the series lmao, the man who somehow overthrew Bandai to make Blazar the way it is

They just need to reign in Waititi a bit.

He did great with Ragnarok. But L&T was far too jokey, and none of the jokes were especially funny.
Feige probably regrets giving out free reigns to people

Real shame that Brawl mods can't make new fighters that can transform or switch, even if they were build on top of Zelda, Samus, or Pokémon Trainer.
