 We're now halfway through the dumpster fire of storytelling simply known as The Mandalorian. I should warn you if you stumbled upon this video thinking oh this will be a fun recap video of my favorite show The Mandalorian, no that's not what it is. I mean it is a recap video and I hope that it's fun but it's mostly an airing of grievances. I haven't liked this season at all and this is coming from a person who loved season one and two, thought the book of Boba Fett was a disaster. I can't believe they finished arcs of The Mandalorian in that show. It's some of the worst writing known to man and then The Mandalorian season three says hold my Vescar because this thing is a nightmare of writing. I just can't even begin well I have began. I've done the whole season so far up until this point. I'm gonna finish it out. I'm hate watching it at this point. Please subscribe if you you know enjoy watching angry middle-aged bitter men complain about a kids show because that's what this really is at the end of the day. It's a kids show. A show that my kids aren't watching. We fire up the episode with Grief Carga on Planet Navarro. Man we have a bunch of characters that people don't know the names of so they said Grief Carga a few times in this episode which I appreciated because I can put a name to the face of Apollo Creed who I was previously just referencing in the mass. This episode is going to be focused on his beef with space pirate Davy Jones. Spencer's Gifts edition. Ceewee Davy Jones lays siege to this rebuilt city this beautiful utopia simply because some of his pirate crew couldn't get a drink at a children's school that used to be a bar years earlier. I mean kind of unrealistic expectations kind of a silly thing to go to war over but here we are. That's the Mandalorian. The title comes up and we're treated to what is surely going to be the best moment of this episode and that's a bizarre alien western song. It's hilarious. I love it. I dug it. I was like oh yeah remember the western stuff they kind of had in the first season where it was grittier. It was more simplistic. It felt like a one-man army sort of show like a last of us set in space but now this show is colorful. It's poppy. It's punchy. It's for all ages. It's stupid. It's honestly stupid. But let's focus on the episode. Carson Tabaugh who I think is a new character. I don't remember seeing him before. He gets the distress call from Apollo Creed. I forgot his name already and he's hanging out at a bar, a local bar. There's another CG big-ass alien guy. I'm sure he's a reference to something to do with the bad batch or the Clone Wars or some spin-off crap that I've never seen animated probably. It doesn't matter. A good group of people will see this character and be like hey and then they'll really wet themselves when he says the thing that Han Solo said. Good luck kid. You're gonna need it. I don't think he said kid but he definitely said good luck you're gonna need it and I thought oh that sounds like something Han Solo probably said and then I googled it and yeah sure enough of course because that's what this show is now. It's just member berries. We're now back at Coruscant. Look at that these stories might actually meet up. That's how storytelling works. You don't just randomly start a new story thread without alluding to it or transitioning to it which they did in episode three or four of this season. Now they're actually tying to it nicely. That's how writing 101 is conducted. Anyway back on Coruscant. Tim Meadows is there. Of course Tim Meadows talking to the crew. Wait what? Tim Meadows. What? When did he join into this thing? Why? I have to say Meadows is one of the most underrated comedians. Just full stop. He's underappreciated. Whenever I see him show up I just start laughing. He just has that presence. He's funny. Just everything about his demeanor. I don't know if he's supposed to be playing comic relief here. I think he's supposed to be serious but I couldn't stop laughing. I'm like Tim Meadows this is awesome. New guy Carson has a chat with him. Female Mario Lopez makes a cameo. She's like hey remember me from that other episode. I'm here again and then she leaves. Meadows isn't having it. He's like ah no. New Republic ain't doing this. You can make like Padme and go cry to death back on your planet with the people over there because this isn't going to happen. New Republic's not going to help. That's fine. Carson's got this. He flies his ass over at the Mandalorian Beachside Resort and Cafe where the Mandalorian are all prepared for him. They are all set up ready to kill this single guy with a message. The whole crew's there. The whole family's there. Guns pointed at this poor sap of a character who's just trying to get some help. Mandalorians are like yeah you can make like Anakin and get the fuck off this sand because you don't like this crap anyways. He persists. Mandalorian respecting Apollo Creed has a nice little cave meeting with the Fast and the Furious dumbass crew. Makes his case. It's not impressive. Din Djarin doesn't do anything impressive anymore. So second guy comes up the big brute with the machine gun. Looks like a halo character skin. His speech was much better. Machine Gun Kelly puts it all out in the line. Talks about how the fondlings need to grow up outside of cave. Touching grass. Having the sunshine bathe down on their helmets because they can't take their helmets off because this is a dumbass cult. And then it's off to the races. We have the ground fight. We have some space combat with Mando and Bo-Katan who I wasn't sure was in this episode at first because when Carson first arrived at Mandalorian Bayside I didn't see her and I thought oh you know what she's probably constructing a new throne that she can sit on all day and sulk. But then she came sauntering up. God I hate that she's in a freaking helmet. We have a decent action section. Again though it's very Power Rangers-esque now. Everything's very colorful. A lot of the costumes look like masks you buy from one of those pop-up Halloween stores. Machine Gun Kelly finally gets to use this thing. Even Blacksmith Mandalorian Lady gets to take out some dudes and I love that she still uses her blacksmith tools. No guns. Just walks up in there. It wasn't near as cool as what I just did. I can assure you. Spencer's Gifts Davy Jones isn't having it. In one last ditch effort he tries to take out the townspeople. Bo-Katan. Din-Jarin. They see what's going on. They take out that final engine ending in a blaze of glory. And by glory I mean the opposite. This ship crashes down. It burns. It blows up. Pirate Guy's probably dead. I hope. Just a terrible character. For the job well done Magistrate Grief Carva gives Mandalorian Sanctuary at this city. He says hey you guys help me out. Want to help you out. Live here. Just live here. Be free amongst the people. Could they have lived there before? Did they have to like save the town in order to live in the town? I'm kind of confused. Did they really need to be off at Volcano Bay living amongst the dinosaurs? Or could they have just gone over to Coruscant or to you know one of these other planets and just it just hung out. I don't know. Everything's very muddy. I don't know why I'm even asking because honestly nothing makes sense in this stupid show. For instance they could have gone to Mandalore at any time and checked if it truly was toxic. Din-Jarin went there in an afternoon like driving 20 miles to the nearest Starbucks popped off the helmet five steps out of the plane knew it wasn't toxic. So why did all the dumb ass Mandalorians just believe that it was poisoned without even doing a flyover? Not even doing a test flight. You know it's their home planet full of history full of knowledge and resources but take their word for it. It's poisoned. It's toxic. Episode starts to wind down with Blacksmith Female Mandalorian telling Bo-Katan hey pop off the helmet. You trust me? You trust me? Take off the helmet. You don't need it. You're a daywalker. You're like blade. Half human half vampire but in this instance half regular person half person that used to wear her helmet all the time. So basically just completely the same but without a helmet that's the only difference. So she gets to choose mask on or mask off whenever she feels comfortable and I think it's incredibly lazy convenient writing just so that we can see Katie Sackoff in All Our Glory and I have zero complaints about that because she is truly the only good thing in this show right now. Episode ends with Captain Tava, he's a thing now I guess, stumbling upon a mysterious craft out in space. This turns out to be a New Republic transport ship that had Moth Gideon on it. Had, being the keyword there, he was extracted at some point by, wait for it, Mandalorian. This is so fucking dumb. This show has no point- And this was another mediocre episode, sadly probably the best one of the season. Really sadly one of the best ones of the season because at least narratively it had some sort of a flow to it. There was a beginning, middle and end. It tied in the Coruscant stuff as bad as that is and yeah there's some mystery going into the next episode. Again I don't really care about any of this. I find all of it kind of just nonsense. The show really wrapped up at the end of season two when little baby Grogu or Grogu was sent over to Luke. That was it. That was the game. But now we're just spinning our wheels and this is going to go into just complete narrative nightmare-fuel world and I'm here for it. Lastly I used to watch this show every Sunday with my family. I know it comes out on Wednesdays but we waited to the weekend, had a big pancake breakfast, all of us sat down, my wife and two children for the Mandalorian episode. How's it going now? Well my kids bailed after two in season three. Tonight I watched this show in bed next to my wife who was reading a book. That's how little interest the Mandalorian is to this family anymore. I want to hear from you though. Where are you at with the season? Is it getting better? Is it improving now that things are starting to connect? Some of the threads are starting to make this sweater or are you like me and it's just really bad writing? Don't care about any of the characters. The Mandalorian crew, the cult is really dumb now. The more they tell us about them, the more pathetic they look. I want to hear. Let me know in the comments. Like this video. Please share it around. Subscribe if you haven't. I post new videos every week on movies mainly. It's called Adam Does Movies. But the Mandalorians are focused right now because it's a show that I watched every season and now it's just dipping to shit. So I thought let's air grievances as a family. This is the way.
