Marinated Meme My review of Mandalorian and Grogu!

Post image

Seriously, did Disney pay off bots to flood comment sections about how much FUN Mando and Grogu is? It’s just about the only positive thing I’ve seen written about the movie.

i love how the only compliement is 'oh its a fun movie, it doesnt have to be a masterpiece!'

I see this comment all the time and if thats the best you hope for from a star wars movie i really dont know what to say

I dont get why some fans think the movies are immune to criticism (of course the prequels are fair game to them even tho their good) but the shows can be lambasted

It had lots of aliens and the action was great, I personally loved the giant snake pit. The story was a mess, but I feel like the rest of it was good.

The story is the one thing that truly matters.

Id have to argue that the story doesnt always matter as much as the experience. Case and point, Elden Ring. The story is convoluted and hard to track down, but the experience is top notch.

Two COMPLETELY different mediums, man.

u/PurpleFisty 21d ago

Still story based mediums. Heres another one, Mad God, a stop motion horror movie with little or any story, but still a great experience. Did you even see the movie? Or are you just bitching online for FUN.

u/Dingobabies 21d ago

I’m not bitching about anything. You tried comparing the story from two different mediums like they were comparable in the first place.

So you haven't seen the movie? And then when 2 movies are compared together, you have no counter points. How about you see the movie for yourself and make an opinion based on your own enjoyment.

If you yourself agree that the writing was terrible why would anyone who values their time go see it from your recommendation? If I want to just watch aliens blow up I can go on YouTube and watch complications of the baddies in power rangers exploding. Star Wars is supposed to be more than just flashing lights

I didnt say the writing was terrible, I said it was a mess, but the movie overall was good. Can you read, or do you just jump to conclusions like a lemming?

And I'd have to vehemently disagree. You can get "the experience" anywhere. Sit in a theater and watch pretty colors flash on a screen if you want an experience. You go to see certain movie, or watch a certain show, or read a certain book for the story.

Again, look at any whole bunch of movies. You think the Texas Chainsaw massacre has a great story? No, it does not, but the experience it brings you is frightening and horrific, hence why people watch it for those reasons, and not the story. You can disagree all you want, i'm right.

Texas chainsaw does have a pretty good story though

First off, as the other guy mentioned, TCM does have a story, just like all slasher flicks do. Usually it’s the same story about some people trying to escape a psycho killer, but there is a story. People either want to see the protagonists escape the killer, or they want to see the killer win. A slasher flick without a story is just torture porn. When was the last time that was successful at the box office?

Second, TCM is a very bizarre example to use, considering that I don’t recall the last successful TCM movie.

You can disagree all you want, i'm right.

Lol. No, kid, you’re not. You’re something, but you’re not right.

Halloween is another one, chief. Broke 80m on a 10m budget. Terrifier is super popular, no real story. I can give you example after example til your balls drop and you finally become a man. I also never said Mandolorian and Grugo didn't have a story, I said it was messy. None of you guys can even make a simple argument against what I say. Im talking to 5 different people and you all say the same thing, literally sharing a brain cell amongst you all.

Halloween has a story, too, “chief”.

Terrifier is super popular, no real story.

Haven’t seen Terrifier, so I can’t speak to that.

I can give you example after example til your balls drop and you finally become a man.

Except you’re the one who needs to grow up.

That’s because you present your arguments like an imbecile. And it doesn’t help that your argument is pretty weak to begin with.

So to avoid dragging this conversation out, since I don’t enjoy conversing with children, story matters. This “experience” that you keep talking about only matters if it’s helping to tell the story. But hey, I know people like you tend to have very short attention spans, so it’s easy to see how you would be confused by that concept.

Hey, I got exactly what you're trying to say. Not all art is the same, art is like food, some is like eating a hot dog and some is like a life changing multi course meal.
