#TheMandalorian https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt=""> episode 4 liveblog
#TheMandalorian https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt=""> mando continues to be a perfect reasonable down-to-earth fuckin prince who never lets pride make him a fool, I swear to god. “Oh yeah, I figured that’s why you were beating me up so much. It’s cool. Sorry for intruding, I’ll leave you to it.” https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="♥️" title="Heart suit" aria-label="Emoji: Heart suit">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="♥️" title="Heart suit" aria-label="Emoji: Heart suit">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="♥️" title="Heart suit" aria-label="Emoji: Heart suit">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="♥️" title="Heart suit" aria-label="Emoji: Heart suit">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="♥️" title="Heart suit" aria-label="Emoji: Heart suit">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="♥️" title="Heart suit" aria-label="Emoji: Heart suit">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="♥️" title="Heart suit" aria-label="Emoji: Heart suit">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="♥️" title="Heart suit" aria-label="Emoji: Heart suit">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="♥️" title="Heart suit" aria-label="Emoji: Heart suit">
#TheMandalorian https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt=""> my love for Cara Dune could ignite the stars
#TheMandalorian https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt=""> love how we totally predicted what they were doing with women and the Jungian Feminine in the Mandalorian. Notice that as SOON as he got to a living world, there have been 4 talking women/girl characters introduced and no additional men.
And it’s only been in the first 10 minutes. So you can see how deliberate it is.
#TheMandalorian https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt=""> when Cara Dune and Mando awaken with a jumpy start to not be met by violence but to be welcomed lovingly by village children... these are the rewards you get when you choose the Village over Selfishness https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😭" title="Loudly crying face" aria-label="Emoji: Loudly crying face">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😭" title="Loudly crying face" aria-label="Emoji: Loudly crying face">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😭" title="Loudly crying face" aria-label="Emoji: Loudly crying face">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😭" title="Loudly crying face" aria-label="Emoji: Loudly crying face">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😭" title="Loudly crying face" aria-label="Emoji: Loudly crying face">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😭" title="Loudly crying face" aria-label="Emoji: Loudly crying face">
#TheMandalorian https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt=""> just imagine me screeching open-mouthed like a demon through every scene like this bc this is the content I’ve been waiting for
#TheMandalorian https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt=""> me weeping openly bc mando has been such a dilf himbo this whole time and now he’s finally getting the FLIRTS he deserves
#TheMandalorian https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt=""> Mando’s helmet as an exploration of the same thematic material as Kylo’s helmet CONFIRMED
#TheMandalorian https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt=""> omg https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😳" title="Flushed face" aria-label="Emoji: Flushed face">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😍" title="Smiling face with heart-shaped eyes" aria-label="Emoji: Smiling face with heart-shaped eyes">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🥰" title="Smiling face with 3 hearts" aria-label="Emoji: Smiling face with 3 hearts">
#TheMandalorian https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt=""> Thank you Bryce Dallas Howard for the ROMANCE
Dudes in Star Wars fandom chill out and be cool around women the way Mando is cool and chill around women challenge, I’m begging
#TheMandalorianSpoilers when Mando talks about not being able to take off the helmet he’s talking about Robert Bly’s Bag full of shadowy unconscious wounds that boys and men must drag behind them in their lives, things they need to work through to be healthy
#themandalorian https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt=""> He “put it on” when he was just a boy, which is just around the time when boys start to put things in the Bag—wounds they don’t let themselves examine and so shove down and don’t look at. They believe they do not deserve certain soft things, like feelings.
#TheMandalorian https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt=""> I keep thinking about her asking him if he’s happy and trying desperately to reach through that mask of non-emotion he feels like he has to wear and I’m......., my feelings are too tender
#TheMandalorian https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt=""> remember how some people lost their shit when the lack of women was simply pointed out in the previous episodes? I wonder if those same exact people will be chill and not mention the exact same but reversed (so equal) gender ratio in this episode lol https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤔" title="Thinking face" aria-label="Emoji: Thinking face">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤔" title="Thinking face" aria-label="Emoji: Thinking face">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤔" title="Thinking face" aria-label="Emoji: Thinking face">
#TheMandalorian https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt=""> also I was saying at Thanksgiving dinner today “I think that since only women’s human faces will be on screen it will mean that women, when they are found again, will feel like the heart of the show” and I was completely right
#TheMandalorian https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt=""> love this show, love this thematic deep dive into the wounded masculine, love baby Yoda’s independence, love Cara Dune, love romance with knights in shining armor, love the struggles of parenting and feeling unworthy of soft things, love everything
#TheMandalorian https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt=""> I love how they really explicitly went into how Mando saving the Child = him saving himself as a child, or his own inner child. This show has so much of that psychological stuff I love
#TheMandolorian and I just https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😭" title="Loudly crying face" aria-label="Emoji: Loudly crying face"> want mando to be happy and get everything he doesn’t think he deserves. “Want some soup?” HE’S SO GOOD AT COOPERATING AND BEING POLITE AND REASONABLE A KING A PRINCE WHO I LOVE
Ok see you next week https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👌" title="Ok hand sign" aria-label="Emoji: Ok hand sign">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👌" title="Ok hand sign" aria-label="Emoji: Ok hand sign">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👌" title="Ok hand sign" aria-label="Emoji: Ok hand sign">
#TheMandolorian wait one more thing. In the first scene she has with him, Omera invites Mando to “come in” and in the very next scene, Mando invites Omera to “come in” and it’s like they’re saying.... ‘come into my heart you other hot single parent’ https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😍" title="Smiling face with heart-shaped eyes" aria-label="Emoji: Smiling face with heart-shaped eyes">
#TheMandalorian https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt=""> (is Omera the only other Alive-And-Well Mother besides Leia in all of Star Wars live action? holy mackerel...)
#TheMandalorian https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt=""> that automatically makes both her and her planet extremely symbolically important
#TheMandalorian https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt=""> I keep going back to that part where Cara Dune is talking about how obviously nice it would be to stay with Omera and Mando is actually visibly *writhing* with feelings and discomfort in the shot bc of course he’s thought about it, so so so much https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😭" title="Loudly crying face" aria-label="Emoji: Loudly crying face">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😭" title="Loudly crying face" aria-label="Emoji: Loudly crying face">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😭" title="Loudly crying face" aria-label="Emoji: Loudly crying face">
#TheMandalorian https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt=""> Where Mando is going now is the Actual Descent Into the Underworld from the green growing world, so it will be even more dangerous than the previous descents. And he will return to the green world again at the end (imo)
#TheMandalorian https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt=""> I am cool with bb Yoda being a boy because all those instances of the Mandalorian being able to speak his own feelings only by projecting onto his son were so delicious. “It’s clear he’s... he’s happy here.” IM WEEPING OPENLY
#themandalorian https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt=""> I went back through listening to the Omera love theme and the development is so subtle and sweet—it starts with the most gentle undercurrent when she first asks about him abt showing himself and by the end it has these sweeping emotional added strings https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😭" title="Loudly crying face" aria-label="Emoji: Loudly crying face">
#TheMandolorian Actually it works as a little family theme as well, I think the song is also applied to the feeling of the four of them being together? Omg.... my heart https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😭" title="Loudly crying face" aria-label="Emoji: Loudly crying face">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😭" title="Loudly crying face" aria-label="Emoji: Loudly crying face">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😭" title="Loudly crying face" aria-label="Emoji: Loudly crying face">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😭" title="Loudly crying face" aria-label="Emoji: Loudly crying face">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😭" title="Loudly crying face" aria-label="Emoji: Loudly crying face">
#TheMandolorian I laughed when at the farewell between Cara and Mando, the tender music instantly switches off. And then turns back on afterward. They are like *slaps each other on the shoulder* — Cara is extremely unsentimental and i love how seriously the music treats her
#TheMandalorian https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt=""> last thing: that he says he removed it “yesterday” means he does sleep in it.
#TheMandalorian https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt=""> that this little 4-person family has such a moving emotional leitmotif, and that they specifically showed the siblings interacting, makes me hope and expect that them reuniting will be the triumphant ending of the story
#TheMandalorian https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt=""> I’m so emo and touched I want to write fanfic, this was everything I could have asked for https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😭" title="Loudly crying face" aria-label="Emoji: Loudly crying face">
#TheMandalorian https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt=""> when he first sees her, the love music plays clearly and purely for a few full-string bars while she opens the window and lets light inside and cascade over her, and then it quiets like he’s reminding himself it won’t work, I’m so emo lol
The story told by the music is so master class detailed and thoughtfully done, holy crap
