I'll go first. Mine is that I can't stand the Deadpool movies. They are self aware and self referential to an obnoxious degree. It's like being continually reminded that I am in a movie. I swear the success of that movie has directly lead to every blockbuster having to have a joke every 30 seconds

Can I do a TV show?... I'm gonna do a TV show.

The Mandalorian is boring!

They should have called it "Shiny Boba Fett and Baby Yoda travel planet to planet doing stuff".

There's like 3 or 4 interesting episodes in 3 seasons...

It's part of an 'extended cinematic universe' which is apparently a thing these days. So it counts?

Anyway, I love westerns and space fantasy, and The Mandalorian kinda combined them in an episodic way that I could basically watch forever. Although it did fall apart in season 3, despite the well-intentioned efforts to tie back to the larger Clone Wars arc.

Ok, I admit it soon got outmanoeuvred by Andor, which was damn good even if you're not a Star Wars fan. But Mandalorian paved the way IMO for a good pulpy episodic series with no bloody Skywalkers or Jedi Council BS. So that's a win, right?

Andor is so good.

It’s literally a modern western, not a lot happening in each episode is pretty much the western model. There is and should be an overarching plot and goal each season and mandalorian does do that, slowly, like a western should

I wholeheartedly disagree. It's one of the best things to come out of the universe. Maybe it's because my son and I watch it together. But there are some great actors in there putting in some stellar performances.

The worst thing it did was introduce baby yoda. Stupid piece of shit, I want to punt that little twat. Minions-for-millennials-ass-bitch

I quit watching after season 2.
