I think people need to add more “Don’t care,” attitude back into one Dinjamin Djarin. Not everything has to be “omg he’s socially anxious and a nervous wreck and doesn’t know what’s going on” all the time. In fact I’d argue most of the time. He’s a busy guy, he has things to do, he does not care about playing useless social games when he can just be direct or ignore you. Didn’t ask, don’t care, get out of my way, I have work to do
#As out-of-universe funny as asking Luke ‘‘Main Character of Star Wars’’ Skywalker if he’s a Jedi is#It does also detract from what should be a significant scene and the culmination of the entire season’s emotional arc#Would’ve been better if Mando had just said ‘‘Who are you?’’#anyWAY#Let’s go back to making Mando blunt and concise and judicious with how much he says and reveals#Not every character is a socially anxious mess#And even the ones who are aren’t like that all the time#*pointedly looking at Rogue One fans writing Bodhi 😒*#tbd. maybe.#I would much rather think of Din as the epitome of ‘‘Yeah I saw that social cue and I know what it means but I don’t care#and I’m not going to entertain it.’’#HE’S A BOUNTY HUNTER. HIS WHOLE THING IS WATCHING AND TRACKING PEOPLE AND FIGURING THEM OUT.#And a lot of the time all he has to do is loom and look intimidating and it cows people into walking back to the ship of their own volition#He’s one guy. He doesn’t want to have to haul them all the way back himself#He knows what to say to get people to do what he wants#And you can’t do that unless you know how to read people#New hc: Din cannot STAND passive aggression#The second he hears it he doesn’t like that person. He doesn’t HAVE to keep up social niceties and now he’s not going to listen to#a thing that person says#He knows exactly what they’re doing and has zero patience for it
