Disney has no understanding of the phrase "Franchise fatigue"
I just really can't bring myself to care about Star Wars or Marvel when a new show is announced every day, the quantity over quality mindset is showing. I still haven't found a single Marvel show that I liked.
Wandavision was good for a couple of episodes, but then it stopped being a quirky look at the history of Television with some mystery implying a bigger story, and became about S.H.I.E.L.D doing S.H.I.E.L.D things... I can just tell someone at Disney saw the first few episodes and went "Why are you doing something different!?! We need to be boring and predictable."
Cause I know what "Someone wanting to cook, but then they were stopped" looks like, and it fucking looks like Wandavision.
As for Star Wars, Mandolorian was cool, but then it JUST. KEPT. GOING. Long past the point of my giving a shit.
The only Star Wars show that I really vibed with was Acolyte, but that got cancelled to make another season of Andor. Skeleton Crew looks alright, but why watch it if it's just going to get canned because "Whoops we put minorities in it, and now the Alt Right's bitching at us." like Acolyte did?
Obi-Wan was.. Alright. Expectations were low, but it had a few things I liked. I loved the use of the Sith dudes from Rebels, and I will admit, one of my favorite Star Wars moments does come from this show. It's when Obi-Wan and Leia get a ride from some dude who's basically the Star Wars version of MAGA.
When the Stormtroopers caught Obi-Wan in a lie, accidentally calling his "daughter" Leia, and he has to come up with a lie to cover for it. That lie being that Obi-Wan is suffering from trauma and is prone to reliving the past, so he called his "daughter" by the name of her late mother by mistake.
I like that, that's a cool emotional moment where Obi-Wan despite his intent being deception, is being more honest with himself and Leia than he's been in quite some time. That's a sweet moment, it's clever, and it's a rare scene in mainstream media of a male character being allowed emotional vulnerability without being the butt of some joke.
But that's just one neat scene in a sea of bullshit.
