Children's show but with murder
The casual killing is the only thing separating this show from the A-team or other shows from the eighties.
shareDon't like it, too bad, then don't watch it.
shareNah, I like it. Like I liked the A-Team.

Star Wars in general could be described as something (a rarity) which can be viewed and enjoyed both by children and adults. So obviously, violence can't be excessively graphic and scenes can't be overly disturbing. And we never get to find out whether Mandalorians are allowed to remove their armor for sex. 😎
This show is pure escapist fantasy. If you've ever seen a Star Wars movie before, you should've known more or less what to expect.
Star Wars was never really for children. Too violent. Only bad parents expose their kids to this.
shareNo bad parents shelter their little spawn from everything and then they grow up to be really fucked up.
shareThe ones really fucked up ie. active shooters, are the ones that were exposed to too much violence. Just goes to show how right wing the media is. Obsessed with violence but god forbid "boob armor". I mean the fact that you use the word "spawn" just shows how way out there you are.
shareThe really fucked up ones were born fucked up. I grew up with kids that played baseball with turtles and other incredibly barbaric things. Not a single one ended up shooting up school, offices or any other places. Kids go through a violent phase but the normal one learn empathy... the genetically fucked up don't ever learn empathy.
shareCartoons were never for children. Too violent. Only bad parents expose their kids to this.
Remember?

Yeah actually they were. They were shown as shorts to adult audiences before the feature films came on and replaced war news reals. Today they are replaced by trailers and advertisements. Gosh hipsters learn your history before you comment.
shareNot sure what's your point. Cartoons were shown to adult audiences therefore they were for children???
How that makes any sense?
And yes, cartoons are full of violence ...

as a fan of the old droids show, it was unnerving to see people i know who turn their nose when it is mentioned liking the mandalorian so much. because it is basically just that, a live action droids cartoon with murder. i guess they're big murder fans.
shareStar Wars has "wars" in the title.
shareExcellent observation and very true.
shareYep. And never was originally intended for children until Return of the Jedi came out. It was quite horrific for the time. Now people are shown being decapitated and burned alive on prime time tv. Shows like CSI show cadavers and things we would only see in magazines like Fangora in the back of the book store in the 80s. It's no wonder that public shootings have gotten to an all time high in the past 4 years.
shareCrime rates have been falling for decades (until this past year). I blame the Internet and violent video games, for keeping the bad guys off the streets.
shareYes take out the adult stuff from any show and then act surprised that it has no adult stuff in it...?
