Yeah it's kinda silly how BoBF became Mando Season 2.5 halfway through
I often wonder if that was the plan from the start or if they just couldn't get a solid storyline together for a full BF season and decided to shove Mando in there so people would continue watching it. I did like that they teamed up at the end but still wish they would've found a better way to give BF the show he deserved.
I just didn't like his (Boba's) portrayal at all. He went from being cool as can be in Mando Season 2 and immediately became lame in his own show. Reminds me of how MCU's Black Panther was cool as can be in Civil War and was out shown by every other character in his own movie and also was honestly kind of lame as well.
Also not helping matters is the angle where he doesn't care about other Mandalorians and didn't help his people in Season 3.
And I know people (some people anyway) hate Legends being brought up, but I loved how he was handled during the Vong War. Basically...
After becoming Mandalore (leader), Boba Fett initially deceived the Yuuzhan Vong by aligning the Mandalorians with them, under the condition that Mandalorian space would remain untouched. This alliance was a strategic ruse; Fett secretly instructed his people to act as covert saboteurs and intelligence gatherers, passing valuable information to the New Republic.
When the Yuuzhan Vong uncovered Fett's deception, they launched a full-scale assault on Mandalore. Despite the overwhelming force, the Mandalorians, under Fett's command, utilized underground tunnels and their formidable combat skills to engage the invaders. At Bralsin, they clashed with over a thousand Yuuzhan Vong warriors, inflicting significant casualties. Although the planet suffered immense damage and nearly one and a half million Mandalorians perished, the Mandalorians succeeded in driving the Yuuzhan Vong off their world, becoming the only people in the galaxy to defeat the invaders independently (a
HUGE
feat). Keep in mind. The Vong successfully invaded and terraformed Coruscant.
Plus, his interactions with Jaina were great.
He was a leader of his people and was a hero who stood up to a group more bloodthirsty and monstrous than the Sith.
On the other hand, the way Boba has been handled in recent work is such a letdown in comparison.
