#kappa talks

like, there's a scene in the gameoverse pilot that is the most viewed scene, that is the character changing outfits (like you would in a video game, just magically appearing) and then an emotionally charged conversation

and someone was like "oh why is the scene where shes changing clothes the most replayed" and the top reply to that was something about gooners and im like!!!!

first of all, theres more in that one scene than just her changing her clothes. second of all, the whole pilot is full of video game references, so maybe people were just fucking??? going back to catch all the references?? maybe artists were pausing to get a better look before drawing fanart. third of all, the character is 26, who cares if people are horny. fourth of all SHES FUCKING FICTIONAL SO WHO REALLY FUCKING GIVES A SHIT

i hoped that watching the ep would help get over the rut ive been in ever since feb last year, but nope, i barely felt fucking anything for that first ep. i feel like i can argue its the weakest of all mando eps. most mando eps i feel like are very singularly driven and this had 5 different things introduced. i guess it could work out in the end but compared to other season openers, it was weak. i did like grogu spinning around the chair, grogu adn the space whales, and especially din showing grogu how to pilot the ship. but all the plot stuff? i could take or leave

Like... BOBF ep 5 was a way better opener for this season (there's been a year of 'that was mando s3 ep 1' jokes but they were all completely founded!) I think i was just hoping that there was a reason to BoBF jumping the gun on mando's storyline like that. like, i wanted to be able to tell that the story was gonna be really good so they needed to bring grogu back right away, but im not really getting that impression????

and i have no idea if i feel like this because of the episode itself or im still in this dumb fucking star wars rut from the shit show that was BoBF (which, if you cant tell, my opinion of has gone down the farther we get from it).
