Have you actually watched any of them? I quite enjoyed the first one when it came out, but it was law of diminishing returns after that. Not so much shite as 'not my sort of thing'. Same with superhero movies. The first couple of Superman and Batman ones were mildly entertaining, but I have no interest in watching any more. They're for kids.

Most of the newer stuff is absolute formulaic crap for me, and I include the Mandalorian in that. But Rogue One (film) and Andor (TV series) are absolutely top notch: much more adult, much less pandering to kids and marketing committees. On the assumption that hasn't persuaded you Rob, Rogue One has Felicity Jones in it, and Andor has Adria Arjona and Genevieve O'Reilly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This for me too, my German wife now says black over bills The difference is the making up of words, subtle difference that outsiders won't get (the Irish guys I work with are completely oblivious to it) black country do brummies don't (yampy is probably my favourite example) When I was the office youngster coming up I did used to enjoy hearing a brummie and a black country guy arguing over who sounded worse I'm black country, spent way too long working in dudley and wolves, everyone here thinks I'm brummie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose you might say the two accents are a bit like French and Italian, related and mutually comprehensible to a degree This. Nearly 7 years working in Wolves and the accents are vastly different Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 To be honest....the mandalorian is bad TV... Its littered with some amazing star wars moments but the structure of it and various other bits it's really bad at times, it follows the trend of the latest films in feeling like each episode is done by a separate person with no flow to it Andor on the other hand is brilliant usually for the opposite reasons, its well mapped out from start to finish and gives itself a chance to breath and develop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted June 29, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted June 29, 2023 Yeah definitely think the Mandalorian is formulaic. Every episode is the same. But it's still good TV imo It's The Wire compared to the rest of the star wars crap that's churned out these days (Excluding Andor, I haven't seen that) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
