Rich realizing what they're likely going to do with a certain character at the end was great.
I agree with their point that it shouldn't have been called "Andor". Probably one of the biggest reasons it underperformed IMO.
Cassian himself is probably the least interesting character in the show.
Rich realizing what they're likely going to do with a certain character at the end was great.It could still work... so long as they show the same restraint as the first season.
I disagree on that.He's the most "regular dude existing within the system" that the series has ever shown. Like when he killed those corporate guards, it was out of self-preservation, not because he's some homicidal sith/Imperial officer cruel desire.
Also how he gets used as a pawn that just wanted to be a mercenary and ends up actually believing in the cause.
The whole stuff about them being from a planet that if I'm not mistaken was genocided of their people, making his origin so mysterious. Not sure how I feel about that, hoping there's more to it for it to really make an impact beyond "Empire genocided my race". Yeah, sure, but they've done that before. I'm hoping there's something more, I guess.
it wasn't so much genocide but the fact that the planet Andor came from was environmentally destroyed by the empire because because of a mining disaster they caused and abandon it as is. The whole point was to show how the empire treats things under its rule, where they insert themselves in everything like eroding customs and cultures of the indigenous people of a planet and unjustly arresting people for whatever reasons, which is suppose to be ironic because that's how Andor got arrested and not because of his involvement with the heist. The whole main point of the show is to show what actually sucks about the Empire and why people actually want to rebel against them.
I get all that, it's one of the things I like most about it. And actually, I realized how nonsense that portion of my post was and will rectify.
Yeah, I'm honestly shocked just how good of a show Andor was and how pissed I was I didn't watch it day 1. And it wasn't really nonsense, the show wasn't really in your face about getting it's point across because it was a show don't tell kind of series. I had someone on a different forum explained to me what was the purpose of Andors childhood flashbacks.
