That's how Andor fans talk to me
But, there's only one season? And its all fire!
It's literally, one of hte most boring things I've ever seen in my life... but the fans keep gaslighting me, trying to tell me I "Just don't get it" or am "Too simple to enjoy something without pew pew"
I like plenty of things without pew pew, Andor just isn't one of them.
The prison arc is decent, but it didn't save the show for me and was not worth the god awful heist arc.
Everyone is entitled to an opinion... except you now. J/k
I really liked the "origin story" character development without any superpowers. But I also liked Secret Invasion for the exact same reasons.
Andor is good, but a lot of people treat it as amazing because everything else in Disney Star Wars has been garbage. Cassian is by far the most boring part of his own show.
If watching some Andor scenes is the cost of a Luthen vs the ISB plot I'm willing to keep watching.
Obi-Wan was unironically better than Andor though, I will give you that Book of Boba Fett was a complete middlefinger to the audience.
Andor however doesn't even feel like it belongs in the same universe as Star Wars until the prison arc when they remember Storm Troopers exist and stop having "Imperial Soldiers in Imperial Uniforms"
I find Secret Wars to be a great show and a more successful version of what Andor was trying to accomplish. The fact that a show as boring as Andor is loved, but Secret Wars is written off as trash, is... honestly baffling to me.
I will grant that if Andor was cut out of Andor, and we focused more on Mon Mothma, it would be a lot better, and actually be this "Political Intrigue" show that people bill it to be.
Yes show, I get it "Empire Bad", you don't need to keep reiterating this point. Tell an actual story please.
