Thrawn the type of football coach to go 3 and out then say, "Actually punting was the intended course of action."
Lolo
He’s the type of guy to send all his men into a meat grinder, lose them all as say “I’m a genius”.
I said aliens specifically cause I knew you guys would just say padme was the hottest baddie smh 😂
This is a perfect talking on thrawn and it feels like nothing happens in this show
Thrawn shows he’s a total idiot that no one should be afraid of. Dudes a total idiot commander.
Best Part about Asoka was this Conversation.
Man, you are right. Star Wars shows and movies are so low for years now. Decades. I think Episode 7 and the Mandalorian Season 1 were the best thing that could have happened for them, and they chose the wrong path again
Andor was better than all of that
I thought the podcast / channel was gone forever, so glad you are back!
I think they are just stopping having a scheduled podcast, and instead just posting when they want
speaking as someone who has seen rebels and clone wars, I do think it makes a huge different in how enjoyable the show is. But I also don't think your review is entirely unwarranted because people shouldn't have been expected to watch all that shit
Hey you guys need to watch "Bodies" or "The Fall of the House of Usher"
FotHoU is the bomb!! I love Poe, all the references were great, not overdone, and it’s a wonderful story. 5⭐️
I couldn't disagree more on the fight scenes. I very much prefer the newer style as it is more akin to actual fencing. Both traditional and Japanese. Which fits Ashoka very well considering her fighting style and the second saber is akin to a tanto in Japanese combat, which is much more slow and deliberate. It's usually a single parry and strike style. Due to the softness of the blades, the Japanese steel was very inferior in quality to European swords. Which came with a high chance of being shorn off if multiple parries were used.
As a sabre fencer who also did a bit of Kendo: This is nothing like real fencing.
also it’s not supposed to look like they’re fencing, it’s supposed to look like they’re trying to kill each other??
@@Strassenkicker There is a distint difference between sport fencing and the style of actual combat with real stakes for life and death. The two are not even comparable.
Shaak Ti was the original alien baddy before Ahsoka
It’s about time a channel called out how ass the writing was for most of the show
So you haven’t done a review search? It’s what they all say
@@Kasey_Barkle I’m not just going through RUclips searching negative shit lol plus the only person with decent credibility that flat out said it’s bad was Jeremy Jahn’s
@@codybischoff1010lots of reviewers are saying it’s bad. If you go anywhere near a Star Wars place they’re all blowing it’s balls but everyone else is saying it’s either bad or mid.
@@lustrazor44 I don’t understand the point of this 😂 I don’t know who you watch, all I’m saying is a lot of reviewers and twitter make tons of excuses about this show and the writing. Ever watch Harloff?
star wars has never had good writing lmao
The space scene where their ship is being shot over and over, only for Ahsoka to go into space on the wing with sabers.... Star wars has fallen so far since revenge of the sith
I watched part of the episode with the clone wars flashbacks scenes. They were cool, but i didnt really understand why theyre there. I then watched the last 3 episodes and man was i disappointed. It just felt like everyone was doing stuff they wouldnt do in previous shows. And soem of the decisions they made were just very odd. Some things i did like were the looks to everything. Everything felt real and awesome to look at. The one guy that Ray Stevenson played was awesome i liked his character and his armor
I would argue that if you watch all of clone wars and rebels you would have enjoyed the show. I watched with my father in law who had seen none of them and was confused the whole time while I was loving it. I know is a lot to watch but clone wars is the best stuff Star Wars has ever done and if you can get through the first couple not great episodes of rebels there pretty good too. I think is kinda unfair to judge the show without having the Star Wars knowledge to understand it
They should have just done the heir to the empire as a show to build up thrawn first. So that way even if they don't necessarily explain the entire backstory to clone wars and rebels, but will have built up the threat, the villain and that often times is what makes the show or movie. Point Heath ledger as the Joker in the dark knight.
You guys are just so good at what you do!!!
The mozzarella vs. Mutz-er- ell thing drives me nuts
I enjoyed Ahsoka even though I felt the 1st half of the series was kind of slow and boring. As someone who read Heir of The Empire series and the Jedi Legend books as a kid in the 90s, seeing Blue Elon(Thrawn) in the flesh was a delight. The Forces Witches are from those legend books so I loved to see them brought to live action finally as well. I think Ahsoka, Sabine, Ezra, Hera(surprise you didn't mention her cakes), Huyang and the crew have a lot of potential if Disney tightens up the writing going forward.
I got bored by episode 4. Bad guys are fine. Good guys aren't. The General has all the military presence of a coffee shop server.
Oh niceee. Thanks for the shoutout beau.
I loved it 🤷♂️
But why? It was so below standard on every level. Almost no character development, the story move so slow it went backwards, it breaks more canon, most of the dialogue contributes nothing, yet ANOTHER I’m a Jedi in 2 seconds character, almost no emotion from anyone, everyone acts like a total moron, the bad guys are as threatening as a dead snail, they made Thrawn a complete imbecile.
@@lustrazor44 😴
I absolutely loved this show. I didnt care for the animated stuff. Just not for me. But i admit the show had its flaws.
The show was unbelievably terribly written for the budget
@@StonyStark I was contempt with the writing flaws up until ashoka came back. After that, I agree that it was pretty bad lol
Space Whales! you mean from Futurama!
That's all I thought the entire time was the space whale from Futurama episode lol
Ahsoka was trying too hard to be stoic and pensive, it got old real quick. Her fight with Baylan was good but everything else was boring.
Thrawn wasn’t that bad but he also didn’t do anything impressive, memorable or that made me think he’s truly a tactical genius. Seems like if the plan was to strand Ahsoka/Ezra, they could’ve made that happen long before they even had a chance to get back to the ship. I know they were loading stuff but Thrawn seemed to dawdle an awful lot when we could’ve had a reveal that he was long gone by the time the good guys made it back to where he was.
Zombie troopers were wasted.
Lightsabers are now just glow-batons.
I was really disappointed in Dave Filoni this time. I really believe that Asoka is in the top eshlon of Star Wars characters like Luke, Vader, Obi-Wan, Han, Lea, and then Asohka 😮 Palpatine, Anakin, Lando, etc. But yeah she's that high on my their list.
My hope is that this is just Dave faloni's rough rookie season in live action and that he will improve in both feel of the characters and story. My fear is that he has somehow lost his edge, or outside influences are taking away from his writing and that Asoka will only get worse in the future. Sadly it's hard not to imagine Disney bungling this up yet again going off of their track record period
"None! None! some. But not a lot"
One word review of Ahsoka S01: Bland.
The writing was bland. The direction was bland. The acting was bland. The fight choreography was bland. Egad, what a tragedy.
IIRC Ahsoka was introduced in the 2008 clone wars animation but you're otherwise right about how the character came across.
I just finished Ahsoka - I get that the 'usual' anti KK/Disney you tube reviewers would hate it but glad too see the balanced Nerd Soup think it's badly written - prevents me feeling like a misogynist racist just because I didn't think much of it either
The spelling and grammar in this comments section is hilarious. "Rebels are clown wars" 😂
Adorable!
Have you guys considered doing a sports podcast? Honestly I wanna hear you guys talk about the Knicks hahah
I liked the show but if you didn't see rebels are clown wars you would be totally lost
She learned the lesson of...um..."live or die"... *gulp*
I enjoyed Shin Hottie. Had the look of a hungry supermodel wolf.
The witches literally just use the force differently lol
I New Republic just not caring about any imperial threat is bad writing to me.
3:37 Beau just described Star Wars perfectly. Its the same as watching 60 year old fat dudes who havent played football in 40 years complaining about really fit athletic guys are playing football wrong. Like they could do any better
Best looking Marvel movie for me was Black Panther 2
I turned it off when the whales jumped to hyper speed
I think filoni is used to writing kids shows and struggled to make the transition to a more mature audience.
I've seen TCW, but not Rebels. Ahsoka should have made me want to find out more about the characters, it's kind of cemented that I will not be watching Rebel because Ahsoka has made me despise them all. There's so much talking in the show, but very little is actually said. Baylan made me interested, I would read a book on him. Shin was a waste of space, the fact she hasn't offed Sabine or Ahsoka yet is despicable. The short exchange between Hera and Mon carries more weight than any other conversation in the show, and that's because Hera is the one Rebel character trying to act and Mon can act. Filoni kinda did, didn't Ahsoka get pulled out of time in Rebels using the world between worlds? I think time travel needs to stay out of Star Wars, as should Harry Potter type magic. Star Wars thrives when it toes a line between Sci-fi, Fantasy, and Western. Some say that Legends Luke is OP, but if you took into account all that Disney has introduced through the Force (teleportation, raising zombies, instant healing....) someone at peak Force ability would be incredibly OP.
I wanted to love this show so much. I love Ahsoka as a character and love Clone Wars. Honestly haven't seen Rebels yet but know the major points for the most part. This show did a terrible job with the characters for fans and new fans. Eight episodes not enough for a season. The writing and pacing where hit or miss and more miss then hit. The visuals looked good. There was some interesting ideas and characters but nothing developed. I think they gave Ahsoka a character arc but it was poorly handled and batched.
The more I think about the show the less I like it. I feel like I was the target audience and they didn't win me over. Can't imagine an average fan liking this show. Which is a shame. There's some great characters and ideas. Hoping there's a season two and they learn from the season.
Wait, yiu think Loki is cookie cutter?
It is
There was a lot I liked in this show but nothing was making sense character wise and their decisions/discussions once they get to the new galaxy. It really took a nose dive the last two episodes with the writing imo, especially the characters and the sad part is it was extremely avoidable
CW movie came out in 08
Can you review Our Flag Means Death please?
Is it good? I’m scared it’ll be too silly. What did you think?
@@ValyrianPrince It's my favorite show ever
The show was fantastic, but I think it was absolutely torpedoed by the pre-release and intra-release discourse that this show would only work/be liked if you watch Rebels -- an absolute absurd talking point given the painstaking effort that went into introducing and explaining these characters' backstories to the point where the plot was very slow to take off.
FYI, your Overcast feed for this episode is only 2 minutes long
The truth is, there just isn't more than meets the eye to dave filoni. He is the friendly, optimistic, slightly low IQ geek in a cowboy hat that he appears to be. Unfortunately the general incompetence of everyone else involved in star wars makes him look like a genius.
Every single thing he has ever made is lacklustre, derivative, and just a bit soulless. I feel for the guy because he is clearly being asked to bat way above his average and he just doesn't have it in him.
I'm scared
I also don't understand the Dave Filoni love that fans have. His narratives are cartoonish because he wrote for cartoon that don't need to be any more coherent than a kid playing with action figures. It becomes far more egregious when that narrative and writing is applied to live action. A lot of Filoni's incoherence is covered up by being in 30 minute cartoon format.
Purgil Soup!!
I clapped because I know Star Wars!
I liked the Clone Wars shows. But I felt like the laziness of this show was reminiscent of Rebels.
I had a lot of fun with this show. Sad you hated it so much, i stopped listening1/3 through cause i don't need that much negativity in my day. I already miss the news podcast!
I ultimately liked the show. I like the new concepts introduced. Some parts were mishandled though.
Gen V?
U just shit on ahsoka and said you liked she hulk 😂😂
Wow talking about the decline of stars wars is like yalls show just down In Quality takes. Ludicrous to say last jedi was better or implied.
Literally didn't watch the show lol couldn't stand the first episode.
This show was dry toast.
Suprised you bothered to review this tbh. So forgettable.
Best part about Ahsoka was when it finished.
Really? The ending was dumb lol
@@356z I know, that's why I was happy when it finished.
@aster4jaden I was ok with the show until after it ended and I saw the conclusion. Going back, im contempt and I think happy with everything until ashoka comes back. After that, it went downhill. I believe that was ep 5, and after 6 (or whatever it was) I pretty much called that the hit the climax and it's downhill now.
Sorry guys, as someone who really enjoyed the show I just couldn’t listen to someone complain about it for an hour. Too much negativity. Rare time that I stopped one of your episodes part way through. I’d recommend watching Clone Wars and Rebels and then coming back to this.
What a garbage review
I agree with the dialogue take but I’m primed for that from all the prequel era stuff lol which you guys love, ironically/hypocritically. The rest is just typical fun to watch Star Wars. Stop being these dorks who expect too much out of it lol. You guys can just quit covering Star Wars. I didn’t even watch the cartoons and I had fun watching this because I don’t come into Star Wars expecting Better Call Saul filmmaking. relax
It kinda gets lazy and silly to constantly mention "the visuals and sets were great", " The art and design was awesome" as a review to these shows. Yeah no shit, it should look good and top tier without even mentioning it in Star Wars.
But to have a good story, great pacing, character development, twists and turns, and earned setup and payoffs are all that's gone from this franchise. Dave Filoni has good ideas but his executions are bland and dull as hell. This show was visually appealing but horrendously boring and flat. I miss actual emotion, great characters, and a solid story that burns to your memory. Long story short, Ahsoka is forgettable unless you're a die hard fan.
Yeah, if the show was written and directed as well as Andor we probably would have gotten the greatest piece of Star Wars content ever. The themes are there in the show, but things like Thrawn not knowing Ezra was on the same planet as him for years even through they literally were stranded there together, or the terrible blandness of Ahsoka in this show compared to how she is in clone wars, tales of the Jedi, and rebels, along with all of the absent character arcs and motivations, this show is just not quality tv. If you watch a show like Severance or House of the Dragon, you’ll see what great writing is. And what great acting and directing looks like. It’s very noticeable. I think the people who love the Ahsoka show don’t know what good writing and direction is like. I mean the Jedi Survivor video game has a better story than this show.
thought u were done
