Finally caught up on this. I’ve stayed out of the thread because I figured clay was dropping spoilers like a mother****er.
I really enjoy it. The acting is really good and nothing the production is doing is taking me out of it.
I didn’t dig the jungle planet backstory a ton but I don’t hate it. I’m all about the on the run business. Because it feels like it has stakes. They’re doing a great job with the tone of the movie.
One thing I heard that hadn’t really thought of before is this is a show made for adults. People are ****ing getting shot in the face, ****ing mowed down, crushed, all of it. And there isn’t a jar jar mother****er to be found. Or even a kid at all in the movie. That’s a bold step.
If anyone listens to The Watch podcast, they interview Gilroy and it’s a pretty solid listen. Apparently he wrote them a letter and said:
This is what you’re planning to do. Here’s why it won’t work.
Here’s what you should not do.
If you’re going to do it it needs to be done this way.
And they went for it. Credit to KK, who has (rightfully) taken a mother****ing mountain of shit from this place, for making a good call.
