absolutely mind-boggling that favreau created a character as good as din djarin
you couldn’t make a character less close to a male power fantasy if you tried. this man routinely loses fights, most of which he does not even start. he’s incredibly socially passive and polite to everyone he meets. on multiple occasions women have explained basic concepts to him that the audience is already well-familiar with and his only response is “wow you are very nice. I think we should be friends”. his hobbies include sleeping in his chair and bothering his infant son with dad jokes. he doesn’t use his reputation as a scary warrior to harass people or impress anyone. he barely ever loses his temper or lashes out, and when he does it’s because people are actively trying to murder him. if anyone tries to flirt with him it either doesn’t register or he jumps out of the nearest window because he can’t process someone forwarding genuine affection in his direction. he has zero aspirations for conquest or power of any kind. literally all he does is walk around with his kid and help people. sometimes I think I’m hallucinating this entire show but it is in fact extremely real
This is officially the post that has convinced me to watch the show.
