wait this is so cool how did I never know this

[briikasar]

incredible how the movie actually showed us that grogu IS learning and growing under din’s mentorship. And grogu, as a toddler, is capable of not only surviving on his own but performing a rescue. Yes, there was some significant luck involved, but grogu still did outstanding for someone his age. Imagine what he’ll be capable of in a few years’ time, or once he begins to communicate. He wanted to bring grogu to the jedi so grogu could protect himself, but grogu seems to be doing incredibly under his father’s mandalorian tutelage.

I cannot get over the way din must have felt once he woke up. Realizing his son did not leave, and by staying he saved din’s life. Din realizing he’d be dead if not for grogu. Knowing his son is capable of so, so much. He realistically was probably sitting by a stream with his helmet off, drinking water and bawling his eyes out. A mixture of terror, guilt, and relief. Holy shit.

Just came across a comment online criticizing The Mandalorian and Grogu for having Din be knocked out 3 times.

This reminded me of the common criticism of "The Mines of Mandalore" in season 3, with people complaining about Din being in peril twice and needing to be rescued by Bo (and Grogu).

And... Look, I ADORE Din and I consider him an excellent warrior... But come on now, dude was knocked out by Jawas in the second episode of the show, and would have been killed by a mudhorn had Grogu not intervened in the same episode. Din may be tenacious and skilled, but he's NOT invincible, and I like that the show (and the movie) frequently reminds us of this fact.

[awkwardpaws]

THIS!! I don't understand the interpretation of Din as this invincible unstoppable super soldier. He's just a guy. A skilled guy, but still. Personally, I think it makes his character far more compelling. I even thought they made him a little too OP in the movie...

[annwrites24]

All the criticism that either calls Din too weak or complains he is too powerful makes me think that people are complaining more about not getting what they wanted/read into the character, than an inconsistency in the actual storytelling.

Din, as a character, is both a one man murder machine AND the world's biggest loser. But "the world's biggest loser" fan crowd gets mad if he is too cool on screen, and the "one man murder machine" fan crowd gets mad if he is anything less than hyper-competent and inhumanly capable.

But one of the points of the show is that it's about a guy who spent literally his life getting good at doing one thing (being a murder machine) and then finds himself in a series of situations where those skills are almost completely irrelevant (fatherhood/making friends). So naturally, as the story progresses, we get more and more instances of him having no clue what he's doing and being very out of his depth, which makes the moments where he IS actually using his skills competently feel more and more incongruous with the character, but that is the point!!

I'm not going to argue that the show is well written; there are many many instances where the script of the movie or the show is total dogshit and there are a lot of valid criticisms of it. It's true that he comes off as a bit of a damsel in distress in s3, and they may have overcorrected for the movie, but nuanced characters being handled imperfectly in canon is basically the crux of star wars media and leaves so much room for us to play. If what people want is to see Din Djarin either be good at everything, or be bad at everything, they aren't going to get it, because both of those guys would be super boring characters to base a show around.

[awkwardpaws]

I love your analysis. I like the idea that it's supposed to feel incongruous because you're right, the tension of the story and the character hinges on Din trying to balance who he's always been with who he needs to be now. I do think they tried to overcorrect some of the mistakes they made in S3. I view the movie as just 2-3 episodes of what would've been S4 mushed together, and if you notice, they also didn't try to connect it to the larger Star Wars plot (no Bo-Katan, no Boba, no Jedi at all). I guess I just like when there's a balance. My favorite episode is S1E6, I think it's a really good example of him being a competent warrior without being perfect or invincible. He makes mistakes, he gets hurt, but he still comes out on top, not because he's a murder machine, but because he's *smart*. It's notable that Grogu isn't right with him for most of the action in the episode, so he's probably not struggling to find the balance of being "Dad" and "bad-ass warrior", like you said.

[annwrites24]

I think we all loved s1e6 because it was everything we wanted to see from the character: you're right, he does make mistakes and has to problem solve on the fly, and of course, he succeeds because he plays to his strengths. But I do wonder if we all (myself included, because it's so hot and it's so fun and he's so clearly having a bad time) miss the point of the eipisode a little bit, because as you point out, Grogu isn't really part of Din's scenes in this case, so he's free to act without thought for Grogu's safety, and by extension, his own. I know Mandos are super family-oriented (idk about in canon but in the fandom imagination generally), but Din's particular style of fighting involves a lot of high-risk, high-reward moves, which he relies on being able to pull because no one will expect him to try and be too surprised to defend against adequately, or they will be dead before they have a chance to react. And this episode points out one of the truths of the first season: Din can't continue to function like that, because doing so will put his kid in danger. We joke all the time that he is totally unfit to be a parent and that's the point, he is fundamentally unfit to care for a child but he must do so, so he must change much of who he is (or thinks he is, but that's a whole different thing) in order to fulfill his new roll.

All of this to say that they really missed an opportunity to give us younger Din not only because there is clearly a market for an ultraviolent, no-holds-barred version of him in the fandom imagination and they could have a lot of fun with that, but also because it would be a great contrast to the version of the character we know now.

New Way 🚀

Since we're experiencing a bit of a "drought" in the fandom after the Mandalorian promotion, I've decided to create a game to cheer things up!

Here's how it works: anyone who sees this post and wants to play can send me an ask, anon or not. In it, you can tell me which Pedro character you think I'd be best suited for/is my soulmate (romantic or platonic) and why (I'll let you know if I think you're right/like it). If you'd want, you can also send me a hypothetical scenario where we hang out, and I'll write the fic with Pedro Pascal character x reader! Giving credit, of course.

Anyone who reblogged or comment this post means they want to play, and then you can tell them which Pedro character you think would be the best match for them!

Hope we have some fun ✨

You are a clan of two 💚

THE MANDALORIAN Chapter 14: The Tragedy

[djarins-cyare]

Brave Boys

Even though we didn’t hear what the Mandalorian who rescued Din said to him, after the scene in the finale of season 3, I had a hunch it was similar to what Din said to Grogu, especially given how the shots line up almost perfectly down to the millisecond.

Then today’s TV spot gave us this...

...and the fact that Din has said those exact words to Grogu twice now really makes me think that they’re almost a mantra to him.

The Mandalorian who rescued Din told him to be brave, and he nodded, and he was brave – he made bravery his identity. And when he needed to take Grogu into danger, he told him to be brave, and Grogu nodded and was brave – with the Praetorian guards and Gideon in season 3, and now with whatever we’re about to see him endure on the big screen.
