US: The Mandalorian

[ZXSpectrum]

Ah but can you remember Manimal.

I certainly do... Simon MacCorkindale…

 

[ZXSpectrum]

No, pretty sure I've posted it a couple of times in the Motors forum. In the electric car thread.

Wasn't his car based on a Lamborghini Countach LP400? Street Hawk was probably my fav though... Who wouldn't want a motorbike that had machine guns, missiles and could do 90 degree turns at 300mph while in Hyperthrust?

I can't believe he died - if you remember Manimal, then we are old

I can't see why this is getting so much love. The show is average. The combat scenes are some of the worst I can remember and really took away from the enjoyment.

I was totally engaged by it all the way through. I really enjoyed every moment of it.
I am often bored by fight scenes in things, but not by The Mandalorian.
I saw the original Star Wars when it was new, and part of my fundamental psyche is formed by it. I experience Star Wars material in a different way to anything else (I like ALL the films).

Oh, and I can ride a bike very well, but I've never been on a horse.

Some of the combat was pretty decent I thought.

yeah, remember seeing him a little while back on casualty then he died a little while after that.

oh and yes... sigh!

Enjoyed it. The last few episodes were banging. Its not out right amazing but it has the potential to become it,it is though the best thing to happen to the IP for what feels like forever.

CGI is a bit inconsistent. And I hope next season they give him some kind of permanent team to work with as hes kind of a bit boring on his own.

That tie fighter landing scene was next level !

I enjoyed it. They seemed to keep it basic without tarting it up. Unlike most of the films of the last 30 years.

Season 2 release date is October 2020

Heard that announced too. Falcon and the Winter Soldier in a August and Wandavision October too.

Also heard a wee secret about Disney+ earlier this week as well but can’t say anything!

 

[rhysduck]

It's hardly a secret

Really looking forward to Winter Soldier and S2 of the Mandalroian!

Heard that announced too. Falcon and the Winter Soldier in a August and Wandavision October too.

Also heard a wee secret about Disney+ earlier this week as well but can’t say anything!

 

[b0rn2sk8]

Is the secret meant to be that it’s launching in the UK a week early? 24th March?

D+ is all about the back catalogue at the moment (hence the price) but all these new shows are very interesting.

You mean about it being released over here? Hardly a secret.

 

[rhysduck]

Y'all know MissChief works for Sky don't you??

 

[b0rn2sk8]

I'm in, Mando was worth the years sub alone.

The rumoured Sky Q integration, like Netflix is now I assume, I didn't think it was much of a secret!

Wonder if it will be cheaper than going direct to disney.

My main gripe about sky integration, is that the mini boxes are only 1080p so no 4k HDR stuff

Heard something about HDR too but again can’t say either!
