Were there people dawdling over news reports of first drafts of TV shows in the pre-Internet era?
Were people dawdling over movies and theme parks back in the pre-internet era? Barely anyone. Now you can make a living doing it online. Were people dawdling over movies in the Ice Age? How about the Stone Age?Were there people dawdling over news reports of first drafts of TV shows in the pre-Internet era?
Glad they are doing this. I've been saying for what feels like years now that when Disney+ moves to releasing multiple high-end (almost movie quality genre shows) at one time, which they will be with Obi-Wan Kenobi and Ms. Marvel that they can't release them on the same day. It would take away from both shows. Having one release on Wednesday and then another release on Friday really helps out the service as a whole as far as people coming back to it and it helps to not make it so that Kenobi doesn't overshadow Ms. Marvel or vice-versa.Release date moved to Friday, but we get two episodes. Probably trying to release on a different day from Ms Marvel moving forward
Ah a kinsman.Disney is really trying to kill the franchise. The first 2 episodes were garbage.
Lol, The Third Sister gave me major Catwoman vibes too. THAT was weird.I watched the first 2 episodes and this is my review:
Conclusion: I had a blast watching this car crash (it's so bad it's good).We get a summery of the terrible prequal movies from Obi's perspective, than there is a lot of walking and traveling from bad job to home with Obi, a staple of the tv series (filling time).
We are introduced to the lamest and worst written villains ever; Larry, Moe and Curly in the first episode and Ewan McGregor who is doing an amazing job with a terrible script. He is the same character he will be later to Luke and the same attitude as Mark Hamill in the Disney trilogy. Shocking how these spiritual warriors and protectors quit their job.
We also learn that good child actors are hard to find and get Princes Lea presented as a "strong headed" 10 year old when in fact she is a victim of failed parenthood and in result her actions kill a ton of characters.
The second episode get rid of the traveling bug and picks the speed up. Catwoman of the Three Stooges hired another Three Stooges to capture the princess. McGregor saves her but she who is smart but incredibly stupid for no reason girl decided to see him as a bad person...sure...as a result there is a lot of misfiring and killing due to her behavior and she doesn't give a hoot. Obi finally gets out of the closet and shows the Force is like riding a bike, you never unlearn it, and saves the girl.
It ends when Batwoman yells loudly at a spaceship, probably knowing they won't hear her but her therapist said she should speak out her frustration in all circumstances.
Positives: The cgi is top notch and McGregor does is a great job with little (except the "stop running little shithead" but no one could get that working).
Negative: Script, The Three Stooges (x2), most other actors, camera work (especially the use of wobbly cam when out of place).
Tbh, I needed the recap. It’s been awhile since I’ve seen the prequels and I wasn’t about to watch them again for this show.Why is the recap in Episode 1 like 10 minutes long? Are there really people watching a show called Obi Wan Kenobi that haven't seen the prequels?
The production value is great but too drawn out and over-serious. Character motivations make no sense beyond “we need to have content for this weirdly specific point in time we decided to make a whole TV series about.”
Disney, please stop before we get a whole series on what Jar Jar was doing in the background of the Senate scenes in Episode 1.
She's absolutely amazing. Sorry you don't seeI wish I could say I thought this show was great so far... but I can't.
Hate to slam child performers... but yikes. Having young Leia be such a huge part of this seems like a major miscalculation, because I really don't think the performance is good enough to justify it.
