"The Mandalorian": Swing between classic and mediocrity

The setting is very exciting, the special effects are one in a million, the plot is quite satisfactory, and the rhythm is worrying.

Let’s start with the advantages:

The setting of "The Mandalorian" is quite cute. Sometimes in troubled times between the empire and the First Order, a mandalorian bounty hunter who is both righteous and evil, with a mysterious Yoda baby who is unconscious, On the road, I met the IG robot who changed his mind, re-behaved, and finally fulfilled his wish (by mistake), and the former governor of the empire holding a black lightsaber, etc., which made this drama have unlimited possibilities in terms of subsequent development.

In addition, blockbuster-level conscience special effects dazzle a lot of movies, and each of the ending illustrations makes people want to take a screenshot to save. This drama is worthy of Yiqi Juechen's rating.

However, the shortcomings of this play are also obvious:

Although the setting is wonderful and the special effects are perfect, the story is a bit old-fashioned, and it is indeed a "western film in science fiction"; in addition, there is not enough coherence between episodes, the arrangement is not reasonable, the priority is unknown, the rhythm is chaotic, and the setting is wasted. It’s a waste of time.

The specific manifestation is: the plot of some episodes is too thin, relying on passers-by's superfluous personality and talk time; in contrast, the c-bit on the poster is seldom reticent, because it is allocated to a more compact drama series. Acting more like a soy sauce tool; the protagonist is even worse, turning upside down a childhood memory, showing people with a helmet every day, and this gives up the important setting of expressions to show personality and emotions, and finally only draws out one who can only rely on the mouth The little secret that he would take off the helmet when he was alone and a plot of dog blood in which his head was broken and let the robot take a shot. Although the protagonist is a Mandalorian who wants to wear a helmet, there are many considerations in terms of setting, but the treatment in the first season still makes people feel like "just this??".

Make a single paragraph and then spit out the fourth and sixth episodes: the drowsy, unattainable plot, plus the supporting characters who can't be full of lines and performances, completely wasting the props and special effects. These two episodes are really rubbish, rubbish, rubbish, important things are said three times.

In summary, "The Mandalorian" as a whole is a very well-produced and highly anticipated drama. I only hope that the quality and rhythm of the episode can be better controlled, otherwise the water injection may end in a hurry at the end. The ending, or degenerate into a skit with two special effects.

    It is still the subject of "resistance". Do you complete the task honestly, pretending to have never seen Baby Yoda, or betting on your future and life for someone you don’t know each other? As a bounty hunter, he takes money to do things and kill countless people, but he also has his moral bottom line. He can accept beating monsters and catching aliens, but he cannot accept a child dying because of him. He has always performed tasks in a regular manner, never asked questions, and never cared about the fate of the bountyee. This ushered in a major turning point in his life, and it was a child who changed him. Because he is not a robot without emotions, nor a stormtrooper who unconditionally obeys orders, but a living person. He has no ability to fight against the entire Galactic Empire, but at least he knows what is right. This is a story of a person who has nothing to do with the world and resolutely walks toward the righteous side. It is also the process of a person from confusion to self-consciousness awakening. In the process, he discovered his own value, and also discovered that he is not powerless, and that he can do a lot. PS: Pedro Pascal was so miserable, he showed his face for a few seconds in eight episodes.

    Short and exquisite, methodical and full of texture, the rumor has once again brought back the face of Star Wars.
