There is a person named willow.
The Disney Plus TV sequel series to the 1988 film of the same name is an embarrassment. It is neck and neck with Rings of Power, She-Hulk and Fear The Walking Dead for the worst TV show of the year. Not all 8 episodes have aired yet, so I can't be sure.
This show was going to be great. I have wanted a sequel movie or show since I was a child. It's one of my all-time favorites.
This awful, badly written, poorly acted, cheapg imitation is not willow. He seems to have lost his enthusiasm.
I attempted. I tried to give it the benefit of the doubt. I wanted to believe even though the opening episodes were bad. I focused on the positive in my review of the first two episodes, but by Episode 3 my patience was at its limit. I almost gave up on Episode 4, so I didn't review it.
Since I left the theater after watching The Phantom Menace, I haven't been disappointed by a TV show or movie. I hadn't felt my heart break yet. I was looking forward to the new movie. It would be like the original trilogy. I didn't know how bad George Lucas' mistake would be. I didn't know what to think when I left the movie theater. We just watched. I was holding my bladder until the end. During the Jar Jar Binks scene, I should have gone to the bathroom.
The prequels have had a redemption moment as they are compared favorably to the sequel trilogy. Say what you will about the sequel, I will never believe that they are even close to decent films. That is a story that will be told again.
More for you.
That's right.
The Forbes Snowman has been found.
It feels like a teen drama on Disney Plus. This is almost unwatchable because of cheap costumes, bad dialogue, and a terrible plot. I don't know if I'm angry, sad or confused, but the modern rock music was played over two different scenes in the film.
After watching The Phantom Menace for the first time, I didn't understand how the creator of Star Wars could misunderstand what made it great. Jonathan Kasdan, the author of OG Star Wars trilogy writer Lawrence Kasdan's son, is a huge fan of willow and seems to be unaware of what made it great.
The tone is problematic. If it felt like the Willow of old, I wouldn't care about the costumes or the story. The people who defend the show say that the movie was often funny and didn't take itself too seriously. The movie had a balance. There is darkness in the story about a demon queen killing babies to avoid a prophecy.
The show is not really good.
At one point in the fifth episode, Elora is cooking soup with Cherlindrea's wand and she is told to give it back by Willow. She said that she was such a dad. She wanted to use the wand to get rid of the stick. Mhm, that's right.
Compare that to the black root scene from the film. He was angry when Madmartigan gave baby Elora Danan some black root. He says he is the father of two children and never gives a baby black root.
Madmartigan is clearly in love with the infant who he is clearly falling for. It is positive for you. Isn't putting hair on your chest something that sticks?
Her name is not Sticks. The last thing Elora Danan wants is a hairy chest. He grabbed the black root and threw it into the pool at the bottom of the waterfall.
Did you watch what he did? Madmartigan said something to Elora. Our black root was taken by him. Don't worry about it, I'll get more.
There is a scene that establishes the father aspect of willow without saying it. willow berates Madmartigan for being irresponsible and Madmartigan simply dotes on Elora The movie often takes in its more humorous moments, but this one is funny and sweet.
There is a lot of this happening in the movie. Madmartigan plays the funny man who is much more than the swashbuckling rogue he seems to be. He is a swordsman and a friend.
The tone in the show isn't endearing. The humor is not very funny, but rather glib, a parade of one-liners and no jokes land. The show tries so hard to be clever that it forgets that it is also about being brave. It forgets that the movie was about camaraderie.
The cast of the original film was very thin. Most of his friends abandon him after the crossroads. Meegosh is the only one who stays as well. He is thrust into Madmartigan's company once again after he began his quest alone. They are joined by two Brownies, Rool and Franjean, as well as a baby.
We talk about diversity a lot, but the show is not diverse in terms of characters. There were two filthy little faeries and a baby in the movie. The show has three teenage girls, two teenage boys and a couple of teenage boys, but only one of them was killed off. Even though one of the teenage boys has been kidnapped, we are still dealing with four teenage characters from the beginning.
That is the party sent out by Queen Sorsha to rescue her son, along with one adult fighter and a wizard who admits to being atalentless hack. The writers couldn't come up with compelling character-driven scenes so they used magic.
There is a person named willow.
It is narratively preposterous to send Kit, Sorsha's only remaining heir, and the only heir of Galladoorn, into enormous peril.
The cast is expanded as the story goes on. Airk and Sorsha are with us Each joined the group along the way, not from the beginning.
The boring and meandering 49 minutes of Episode 5 is the worst of the bunch. The last confrontation in the film is cheapened by humanizing Kael and his people. Kael killed Airk and Madmartigan was responsible for his death. We are supposed to have differing feelings about it. The Bone Reavers were fighting for their freedom. The Bone Reavers killed one of their own group a couple episodes ago but I think that is just water under the bridge now. That is only one of the things that can be done.
Kael was Jade's father. Sorsha took her as a hostage, and taught her how to speak with a British accent. It is odd when it is three characters who grew up together.
The queer teenage romance is complicated by a crazy story. The father of Kit murdered the father of Jade. It turns out that Jade thought Kit knew the truth all along. Is that what? Is that what it is?
Modern shows can't have honest relationships. Everyone has to tell the truth. Gil Galad and Elrond are in The Rings of Power.
The CW wrote all over it. Dramatic teen romances are often plagued by lies. It makes you want to hit something. The characters all sound the same. The costumes are cheap. There is no sense of scale. The pacing was really bad. The melodrama was really bad. The character was disappointing. I don't like that we keep putting people in charge of these things because they don't know what they're doing
Maybe the last three episodes will change my mind, but I don't think it will. All my hopes are gone.
