@RedRocket I think it’s more ‘there is some dude in the upper echelons of Disney who either thinks making Thanos an eco fascist was clever let’s keep pushing that over and over again’ OR they actually agree with it, so keep pushing it over and over again.
Which is why ‘Andor good, but Disney doing problems’… and I include ‘not enough Andor’ as a problem they are doing.

@Jennkryst ecoterrorism being good is the foundational idea of the world of darkness: werewolf game. It’s always been fashionable to fight back against the elite. Besides, clean air and water benefits everyone except all the dead people you had to make to get it.

It makes me a terrible Star Wars nerd, but I have not seen Andor. Most of the Disney Plus Star wars content appeared to be the equivalent of AI slop generated only for cheap profits when I saw the ads for them.

@Wizz which so do you mean is politically charged? Lower decks? Strange new worlds?
Andor! @Jennkryst is right, imo, it’s a fantastic show and probably the best Star Wars thing to have been released in aaaages.
but Disney’s made some questionable choices with the Marvel stuff lately so.

Sure. But ecofasicm is not ecoterrorism, so…

@Jennkryst I haven’t seen the series, yet. I’m planning on watching it because you guys give it such a good review. But my point was that ecological issues are a very popular and well trodden foundation for a story’s conflict.

@RedRocket Andor is the only one of the series recommend to a skeptic. The others have some good moments, but Andor breaks the mold.
There are points in the first season where I ugly cry (“one way out” iykyk), and the end of this week’s three episode drop had me crying and cheering out loud. The whole show is just very well executed.
It is dark and romantic and scary and hopeful.

Andor season 2 was excellent, and I’m both sad it’s over, and glad that we got a complete story without unnecessary filler. A stark, poignant reminder that history doesn’t repeat itself, but it certainly does rhyme.
-
honestly, the only reason I didn’t love it is because there was enough material there for at least one more season, if not two, without any real concern about filler. every “ONE YEAR LATER” smash cut made me wince and groan.
