ok spent the last 2 days binging the last season of the bad batch. was pretty good. why is it that animated shows get a more mature handling than the live action ones? you would think the inverse would be true.

Animation tends to get a much more free pass, probably for the following reasons.

1. It's target audience is kids, which probably don't require the same level of subliminal stuff/"fine tuning" (read: interference from suits) as live action shows for adults do, so the creators get more freedom.

2. Animation is a much more drawn out process, you have the script and some storyboards and that's it. You have your voice actors record and... it's done. From then on you're animating around the audio they produced. There's no room to make last minute changes or meddle in the middle of production, which is what tends to kill shows. It's also harder for them to meddle during editing.

Another reason The Bad Batch probably did well is because it was handicapped by a heavy merch presence. If it was as marketable in that way as The Mandalorian, you'd see a lot more interference from suits in order to put in scenes to help sell merchandise. Mando S3 was basically a giant advert for Grogu plushies. I'd like to believe that if the show's creators had their way, S2 would have been the end and we wouldn't see Grogu again until the Mandoverse movie that's rumored to show how Palpatine returned. Or S3 would have focused on Mando by himself and dug more into what the post-Empire world is like without him being handicapped by the kid.

The mandalorian lost its way when kathleen kennedy decided to undo the entire point of getting grogu to skywalker. Then they got worse in season 2 then just yeeted it into unforgivable disrespectful bs in season 3. Having jack black in there and lizzo removed the last zeptogram (as tiny as a single protien molecule roughly (10^-21)g) ). That was bad enough then we got the unwatchable acolyte… ya im bitter, but also given general fan hatred of acolyte im not really wrong. /rant

Looks like they are planning something.

@kerbiloid could just be a random act of restoration. Kathleen kennedy has divested me of any belief of any decent cinematography out of them. We are frankly lucky the cal kestis games were decent. recent shows indicate a rot and decay in star wars at cancerous levels
