Quote:I watched some episodes of The Mandalorian.So you missed the whole message of the show then...
It's about 90% about people (or robots) killing other people (or robots). There was a cute green thing in the center, which I guess is what constitutes "moral nuance."
It completely reinforced the constant message of American media, which is that the good guy is the one who makes the most effective use of violence.
Stuff like Mandalorians having to reckon with the consequences of being a culture based on violence or the faults of the Jedi leading to their downfall or the political questions of which is more important order or liberty? or the question is everyone who happens to work with evil group evil themselves evil? Or hell all sorts of questions about violence and people who commit it. Questions about loyalty and duty where you draw the line on those things.
You came to the show with a superficial attitude and saw the superficial. I came to the show understanding the moral nuances being explored and saw them being played out.
