Yeah… But at the same time, they didn’t HAVE to do 4 arcs and to catch up to Rogue One. They could have just made one arc into a season and given it the room to breathe.
Edit: there are seriously great sets in the Season, which just makes the… Suboptimal… Ones stand out.
No, don’t worry, not as bad as Mando. And again, plenty of people praise Andor S2 even beyond S1, so, don’t get discouraged by just my opinion.
For me, the first arc was just… Bad. For multiple reasons, which you will discover. The second arc gets a lot better, the 3rd I actually really enjoyed and the 4th was… Ok.
Again. To me.
Discussing this without spoilers is difficult, but in very general terms: I feel like they threw overboard too much of the gritty realism for “cool” character moments. Instead of logically motivated decisions, things happen because plot. Chances for character development are squandered left and right. Everything is rushed (because apparently this should have been 4 seasons, not 4 arcs?), except when it is super dragged out for no reason. This deals a blow to the impact of scenes, because characters have no time to react to devastating occurrences. And, while petty, I have to mention it: the set design got way worse, esp. in arc 1, but also sometimes later on. Extremely obvious greenscreen/the volume scenes for scenes where it would have been trivial to find onsite locations.
It is still the best star wars out there, just… A 6.5/10 instead off 11/10.
In my personal opinion.
I absolutely love season 1, it might be the single best season of television I have ever seen. The acting, the sets, the music, the writing!, the way it weaves its themes into the story masterfully, ever second feels intentional and characters are real, breathing beings that grow and change and hurt, and how every action has a consequence and motivation. It’s perfect.
Season 2 - to me - is bafflingly bad, with so many issues that I’ve legitimately, and somewhat ironically, given the topic of this post, considered starting a YouTube channel over it. It feels like after finally being given a good Starwars show in season 1, the fan-base has gaslit itself into liking season 2.
Nee, ich fand die einfach so viel schlimmer. Insulinspritze gar kein Problem.
Viel Spaß damit. Hatte irgendwann die Nadeln satt und bin wieder bei Gel. (Und das sag ich als Diabetikerin…)
Indeed.
Wait, no, hold on
My dad loves the Wank. No idea why. It’s a nice view, sure, but there’s so many nicer ones. Instead of exploring new views and mountains in the alps, he just climbs the Wank like 10 times a year, trying to beat his record (1h10min)
The Wahlniederlagen will continue until Moral improves!
It also gives you a great deal of pleasure when you come up with Zangendeutsch-Translations which are technically correct Zangendeutsch, but so impossible to understand that you know readers will not be able to decipher it, meaning they’ll have to ask you, so you tell them, and their groan is audible from across the internet.
And people say us Germans have no humor, tss.
At some point, the Epstein files become the distraction. So much horrible shit has happened in this presidency already, with real consequences for innocent people.
So brushing every bit of that aside to just meme “Epstein files” over and over seems like a GREAT service to Trump.
Is he in those files? Oh, definitely. Will he be i n the released version? Probably not. So, what will you do? Keep screaming for the RealTM files all through this presidency, letting him off the hook for everything else because “muh files”?
There’s also Galaxus. Usually slightly more expensive, but feels like the “old” Amazon: only products selected by Galaxus, no marketplace flooding listings with crap, fast shipping and actually good packaging.
Wow, such a bad-ass we got here… 😂
Another recmendation for Actual. I spend very little time having to interact with it, because after the initial setup, all transactions are now synched from my bank accounts, and 90% are automatically classified into my categories (not by “AI” or something, you just set rules like “payments to Rewe are always groceries”).
Yeah, fair. You seem to possess a lot more patience than myself though… I usually don’t bother responding to the comments in question, simply because there is no chance of this happening anyways.
I would not have been able to pack that amount of racism and misogyny into a single paragraph if I tried.
Surfshark does too
So do many others, I’d assume
Unfortunately, I’ve seen it quite a bit here on Lemmy. People suggest that all of the Linux ecosystem should come together and focus on creating one perfect distro, with one DE, one audio system,… and so on.
I have no proof of this, but I always picture them silently adding “…and it should be the one I currently enjoy, obviously” in their head.
Yeah, all of the above, but also: blacklisting Pinterest from all my searches is almost worth the ten bucks a month on its own, lmao.
All the fash stuff is incredibly bad, but I cannot get over this:
WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT. EITHER YOU ARE INSANE OR I AM.
