Willow review episode 1 season 1 Pilot, Disney plus decides to destroy another of their franchises, did they manage it? Boy was the first 20 minutes of this show eye opening, not only did it destroy the legacy of the original movie, but the new characters are HORRIBLE. What are your thoughts? Let me know down below and as always, thanks for watching :)
-I was expecting either rings or she hulk behind the scenes series
-But this surprisingly exceeded my expectations as well
i wondered if you would do a review on Willow - as i see, you did - this will be more fun than watching the show for sure! 😅thx man!
To be fair, the original Willow was pretty terrible. Then again, I was old enough to be over it, when it came out. Younger generations may remember it more fondly.

William Tell!!
Not Robin Hood, your hatred over Switzerland is showing.
@@noneyabidness9644 it's simple fun, I can enjoy it as something inoffensive and silly with some fantasy elements. This takes itself much too seriously compared to willows tone
I don't understand Hollywood. They/them tell us men are intrinsically terrible and all women are stunning, brave and infallible but these same stunning, brave women are invariably portrayed as being hell bent on emulating the terrible acting men. It's almost like these show creators are insane lunatics.
They're writing for other women who are in Hollywood, and women in Hollywood all have Penis Envy. They all desperately want the authority and brass balls that men have but they want the entitlement and complete lack of responsibility of women. So, all women are written "strong & brave" but devoid of personalities (just like women in Hollywood) and men are emasculated, otherwise even regular men would make women look weak in comparison. They turn men into women and women into men.
They make women act as evil caricatures of what they think men act like daily.
Since when did Social Justice ideology need to make sense? The whole movement flip-flops around so much it's difficult to tell what they actually stand for.
It’s they/them tells us man/men/woman/female are intrinsically terrible.
subverters doing propaganda to destroy the Family Unit.
Which Man wouldn't feel lucky to be bound by law to a permanent headache!
I love arcs where the character starts off as unlikeable and very flawed, but over time and experience, learns to be a better person. Unfortunately, modern writers don't recognise selfishness, arrogance and rudeness as faults.
Or show that they were wrong in the beginning and should regret their actions. But, that might mean the princess was WRONG and we can't have that.
@@als3022 Exactly.
Yeeeep, they can’t execute this trope at all . Probably cause they have no morals and can’t tell good from bad.

Disney’s ability to destroy IPs is just astounding…
They’re like an angry toddler with a flamethrower.
I think they just want to bankrupt the company. They hate male audiences and do a disservice to minority audience by playing into troupes. A strong woman has to be masculine and a man must always be effeminate in Disney media.
And much like that scenario, it won't end well for anyone, child included.
This IP was already pretty much dead.... yet they somehow still killed it in all of a single episode....
I was thinking an angry toddler looking for some remaining clean space in the house over which to take a complete shit on, but I think I like the flamethrower better.
De Maistre said that any fool or child could burn a city to the ground; to build one takes workers, craftsmen and time. "Angry Toddler with a flamethrower" is completely accurate
Why do modern writers think it's "badass" for women to hate wearing gowns/dresses? I understand others have preferences with their attire, but it's seriously grinding my gears how a lot of these characters hate skirts for no apparent reason other than "I am woman hear me roar"
Because dress feminine and as such bad only being masculine can they make women strong cause they share a single IQ point
I understand it on a level of "forced attire". Imagine a woman would still be looked at in dismay for wearing pants. It makes sense in a period piece. But when handled poorly, I agree, it just gets obnoxious.
Dresses are honestly so pretty, and newsflash, you can still fight in a dress. If people refuse to believe that, I'd like them to explain the women fencing back in the day who had skirts on. XD
If you want a reccomendation for a modern fantasy story with an awesome female lead who doesn't have that exact problem, try reading Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson. Vin, the female protagonist, has to pretend to be a noblewoman for much of it. Wearing dresses feels really weird to her at first, because she's a street child who's never done that before, but she comes to like them. She manages to be feminine as well as tough.
@@ceinwenchandler4716 You know, now that I think of it (even though it's an older game) Alice Madness Returns is a great example of a feminine woman who still kicks ass.
If you've never seen it, Alice from Alice in Wonderland (who has black hair and green eyes in the game) is a knife-wielding badass in Wonderland, cutting down enemies with ease. She does all of this adventuring in a dress that caters to the chapter of the game's theme. And when outside of Wonderland, in the "real world", she's soft-spoken and kind towards others more often than not. She's feminine but deadly, and pretty insane too. I love her in that game! It's better than the Disney adaptation (Tim Burton) where she hated dresses and didn't want to get married, the works.
When she dropped that line about "Have you ever heard the story of blah blah blah?"
For just a second, the exact intonation and words she used had me half-expecting to hear her ask if he knew the Tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise.
Exactly where my brain went too 😂
"It's not a story a Jedi would tell you."
Ah yes, my favorite commentary show on new media. I consider this my news now.
I just hope these reviews are being monetised. With the amount of money Disney is leaving on the table someo e deserves to pick it up.
It's one of the finest shows out there, if I say so myself.
Same.
I consider this my therapy to help me laugh thru the pain that is Disney and Co.
Same here
I am tired of the "strong woman" trope in fantasy whose entire character is: "I don't wanna wear a dress, I want to ride horses and fight with swords like men!" And her character arc is proving to everyone how wrong they were all along.
It would be funny to have a show where the 'strong woman' who wanted to swordfight was the summarily destroyed by every male fighter she encountered because there's an insurmountable difference in strength and endurance.
You act as if female warriors in fantasy are some new thing.
There’s nothing wrong with female fighters. What Disney does wrong is making all of their female fighters spiteful, arrogant and self-centered. When was the last time we’ve seen a tough woman be caring and supportive of others? Disney writers are the worst.
@@ojroche5217 Princess Kit is arrogant and spiteful but I blame her mom. The red haired girl whose name escapes me at the moment seems likable so far.
@@HerculesBallsInc I'm working on a story witch kinda has that going for it.
It has a mentor character that favors boys over girls because we are fighting monsters here and men are have a huge advantage on that. Girls are basically let in because of lack of available boys. The main female character even without this feels inferior to her more overall gifted brother and her greatest wish is to beat her brother on this monster kicking hero business. Show to the mentor, no to everyone that she isn't a loser but a glorious hero like no one else.
Thing is that she doesn't become a kickass warrior (that story line is her brother's) but an extraordinary support. She is forsed to admit she can't become a great warrior, she is physically too weak and has nothing to compensate for it. She learns not to feel bad that she can't be the knight in a shining armor slaying dragons, as she can still contribute to the success from the side. So she turns to learn anything helpful like healing, how to find and deliver information fast, how calm the guys down so they work together better, fixing clothes and tools, hide and cook. Her storyline is all about accepting what you can't do in favor what you can do. It might not be as glorious and many others can do what you do but it doesn't mean what you do is meaningless.
I’ve noticed Disney is really into making good guys bad and bad guys good.
That's part of the whole lefty ideology; what were vices are now virtues and what were virtues are now vices. Michael Knowles' book "Speechless" talks about it and it's totally true.
Maleficent was based on a book(I think)which means why the story was half way decent. Nowadays Disney is remaking everything, and given the quality of its writers it is all a disgraceful mess.
@@Nopeasaurus Hans was NOT cartoonishly evil, he was a surprise villain who until reveal had played it like a hero. Then he was scum.
Disney are dirty filthy Groomers.
It turns out that when you abandon all morality - like Hollywood and Disney - there really is no difference between a villain and a hero. It's just a question of which narcissist you like.
Revisiting these reviews for the show that totally wasn't cancelled.
I was amazed how he tried to spin that. We wrote the scripts, they read them, said no…but maybe they’ll change their minds in 20 years lmao
I think the mother saying "kit shouldn't have to marry him" was literally just to show everyone, the woman forcing her into marriage doesn't actually want to and now it's entirely the men who are bad again
Maybe the queen knew she raised a cow and was feeling sorry for the prince.
That's not the case, but it could've.
So they made Mad Martigan, one of the main heroes of the movie, played by Val Kilmer, an actor who couldn't return for the role due to health issues, into a scumbag and spend a good chunk of the opening insulting the guy knowing Val can't say a word in his character's defense.
Wow, there's punching down and then there's this.
It's the same M.O: Shame the earlier Male Protagonist, propagandize him as pathetic - then kill him off in a pathetic death. Iconoclasm.
Well, Kilmer just had his acting reputation go sky high with 'Top Gun: Maverick' making about 1.5 billion dollars, something I doubt we have to fear happening for this truly terrible looking show, so he'll be fine.
Watch the show. Madmartigan was on a mission to find something Sorcia wanted to fight the crone. Sorcia inexplicably lied to her kids and said he abandoned them, but the truth comes out before the end of episode 2.
@@TroySavary naaasty
@@TheVanOvanShow People claim they are deconstructing tge male characters but to me it was Sorcua they did it to. She handled her kids poorly. She was wrong about what to do with Alaura. She would not listen to Willow.
Val Kilmer was SOOOOOOOOO cool & badass in the movie, I had forgotten… he was like the Han Solo of Heroic Fantasy. You cannot replicate that in today’s Woke society
I mean he also wore drag in the original film too LOL
Instead you get to watch Mickey dig his grave, you can't have everything.
I for my part only want to cheer him on:" Dig faster!"
Which is why they had to give Madmartigan the Han Solo treatment - turn him into a deadbeat dad that ran off… The only difference seems to be they killed the character off-screen this time
@@beyondz55 True. He wasn't gay though. He was in disguise. It was comedy. Something lost on modern audiences.
@@crpggamer absolutely I agree! I mostly watch old films in 4K. Literally film too! I prefer film over digital. Just watched Godfather in 4K....like seeing it for the first time again. Part 3 is very interesting with the Vatican Bank and on the commentary Coppola straight up says the corruption between the Vatican, government, media and mafias is based on the truth. Also he said the vatican owned Paramount Pictures. Wow.
Willow: has vision of how the princess will turn out to be.
*kicks basket back into the river
*slaps his son
*goes back to farming.
Imao
I just realized this entire first episode is almost the entire plot of Brave. Like beat for beat, a tomboyish princess would defies her mother and tradition, who is also erogant and selfish, joins a ternamemt that was to decide who would marry her just to spite her mother and 'have her decide who gets her hand', and a result she almost starts a war because her selfish decision. The only difference is she eventually learns the error of her ways and apologizes and admits what she did was wrong and selfish but gets the chance to come up with a new perposel that everyone agrees with.
I can't be the only one who noticed this
I noticed that too.
That's all anyone knows how to do nowadays, copy what has already been done, and make it badly!
I thought the same thing!!! I miss Pixar…
Yep, I had actually just realized that myself.
Brave also had the cool bear lore and people who actually sounded Scottish, not like they stepped out of a Starbucks after failing an audition.
I'm convinced that there is an agenda to specifically take everything that made up my childhood, collectively destroy it, and make it suck.
The script sounds like it was written for a 2022 high school drama and they accidentally dressed them up in fantasy clothing
These writers have no experience outside StarBucks.
@@Nopeasaurus An American accent is no problem. Pretty sure the only reason people in fantasy use kinda-sorta-English accents is due to Tolkien. There's no reason to assume that a thick accent would exist in every single fantasy location.
Fr, this shit sounds like High School Musical: The Musical The Series The Sequel to the Series
@@matthewmosier8439well that’s because medieval Europe is the only place that would suit the setting most fantasy. Particularly England, Scotland, Ireland you get the idea
I don’t doubt that Tolkien had an effect but really, they just take a medieval England setting and add other stuff to make it fantasy
@@abdulhafiz3210 Arguably, yes. My family immigrated over to the U.S. hundreds of years ago. I still am suprised at how the CORE of one's distant ancestry stays pretty intact. I have more British in my bloodline than maybe I'd like (my family liked to emphasize the German, but I'm learning to like all of it) I greatly appreciate the dry humor, the general way of going about things, that come with it. That being said, hate for the U.S. is repulsive to me because it is often so baseless and shallow.
Thank god. I just rewatched Willow and after it ended I thought to myself, "This was amazing. But I'd like some feminist, misandrist, lesbian, teenage drama".
😆🤣
The urge to rewatch the respective original is propably the only good thing modern Hollywood reboots accomplish. Well aside from giving rise to tons of youtube channels discussing this crap.
@@Tyarrk Amen on that. I lowkey forgot about Willow until they announced this show and then I just had the urge to watch it again. It holds up pretty well, tbh. It's got a timeless quality to it, probably due to all the practical effects.
You got to hand it to them, when they said they wanted movies and shows to be just like "the real world". In creating female characters, which are, entitled, selfish, thoughtless, arrogant, sociopathic, and narcissistic, they absolutely nailed it!
Also , they are garden tools!
Excellent point.
🤣😂🤣
Yes. At least the women in Hollywood.
To be fair to them, they probably think there’s no world outside California.
Why Dating died a while ago.
The royal family going out to meet an armed, violent enemy is pure Star Trek. "Send the most important people on the ship down into a hostile area to do the grunt work universally assigned to the underlings we can easily sacrifice!"
As stannis baratheon once said, "great or small, we all must do our duty." That's the message it should be telling that life is tough and you need to make sacrifices that obe of the defining traits for a good person is doing there duty weather it's as a princess, queen, president, senator, soldier, police officer, or even something as simple as a janitor. Doing your duty to realm, your country, or even your employer is a good thing because it benefits others and might just even benefit you.
This show is in fact, a documentary of the California LARP society. It isn’t meant to be fantasy.
The sad thing is that I can believe that.
Seems legid
Hahahah holy shit that's so true.
Can you imagine if the roles were reversed, and there was a bloke lecturing a woman about her promiscuity? Neither can I.
I can. It would be glorious.
I can but only if he's *EVIL MISOGYNIST PIG*. Cause God forbid a man has standards, no matter how miniscule.
For sure, his name is Disparu! Haha
"How does somebody gets to write Willow, after writing Solo...."
Well, Jonathan Kasdan is the son of Lawrence Kasdan, famous script writer & director who worked on many Spielberg & Lucas movies.
More simply put:
NEPOTISM
Ah.
My disappointment was unimaginable upon seeing the first 2 episodes. I imagine a grown up Elora Danin with long beautiful red hair, willow still using magic and being a father to her, maybe Mad Martigan sword fighting with his children. Im sick of the goddamn tough princess trope, it worked in Brave, but now its everywhere. I miss the days when princesses loved to be girly and wear dresses, being soft and kind, it was never a weakness. Im a tom boy myself but i love the original disney princess and the big poofy dresses.
Being Soft and kind ISNT WEAK!! In fact in a world where so much shit happens and people are so rude and negative, being able to keep your positive and kind heart is incredibly strong, Cinderella for example, abused for years in her own home, never stopped being who she was.
Strength and combat prowess may inspire men to fight but kindness and beauty will remind them what they fight for.
@@varuugBrave is so incomparable to this dreck. Merida is still feminine, she just feels stress from her mom - the central conflict in that film is between a mother and a daughter, not necessarily between modern and medieval ideals; their relationship is also the heart of the film. Merida wants freedom of choice, her mom just wants what's best for the kingdom, but she was prepared Merida for this moment to make it EASIER on her, not by filling her head with delusions that duty can be shirked. The queen comes to see things from Merida's perspective as the movie continues, and Merida comes to see how selfish she was acting. Ultimately a middle-fround is reached, but there is no declaration that all royal duties are now expunged, it just leaves the marriage plot ambiguous because the primary conflict was between Merida and her mother. It's a love story, just not a romantic love story; motherly love for her daughter.
20:11 “You embarrassed the prince”
Bruh, she embarrassed herself😂
Who do they want us to root for? The writers want us to hate the prince, but he’s 100% more honorable than the freak that tried to kill her brother……
Genuinely willow was one of my favourite films growing up, I canna face watching it, I’d sooner watch Disparu’s reviews then depress myself actually watching it
Thats how i watch all Disney shows lately...this way its beareable and at least entertaining ;)
Same.
facts
Yes, I was 12 years old when it hit home video, and there was a period where I was watching it about every other weekend, along with the films Legend and Flight of the Navigator. I especially enjoyed James Horner's score. So I really don't want to see what they did to it now.
Disparu watches it so we don't have to.
Gingercide is real, I bet they tried to cast a black person to play Elora but that would be too much lore breaking.
😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👌🏾
Do you really think that going against canon would stop them? Seriously ?😉
Its (apparently) OK to hate Gingers as they're SuperWhite and 'everybody' knows you can't be genome-ist towards PEAs*
*Persons of European Ancestry
Wheel of time, rings of power, Witcher and now willow. Fantasy is the genre that Hollywood understands the least and at this point they butcher everything they touch. It's a miracle that house of the dragon was good.
Means independents will probably take up the slack.
They're doing exactly what they intended: spreading a particular worldview and political ideology. They're only failing if you assume they were trying to make good fantasy, which they weren't.
HOD wasn't even good, politics without consequence is such rubbish. Very modern view.
@@als3022 фильм Сказка Хранитель
As per the usual, back to reading actual books to get some decent story.
When you see ginger mixed-race Freckle Jesus in the first minute of a show, you should already know what to expect.
In fact I'm surprised they didn't cast her as Elora Danan, at least the hair would have matched.
Also Warwick delivers his lines like someone who has just learned how to read.
I think it's more like someone who doesn't speak English and learned his lines phonetically.
Ginger plank of wood.😎
There wasn't a snowball's chance in hell I was gonna watch this show, but I am 100% watching all your reviews of it. Guaranteed to be 3 million times more entertaining than the actual show.
well played... in this case.. i tried to watch the first episode without spoiling it with watching the reviews - good or bad i hadn't even looked so as not to be biased.. but the show was so bad i couldn't even watch the whole thing - i skipped through after 5 min trying to find a good part... but ...
My favorite part is when Willow drew his Sword of Power above his head and shouted "For Frodo!".
Truly stunning and brave.
Sword? Wasn't it a lightsaber?
That's racist.
I really like that the sTrOnK wAhMeNs sound like they just walked out of a mall in LA and act like spoiled rotten, selfish, arrogant, sexist pigs. They're all pigs.
@@WeAreInYourWall Right you are. I'm also disappointed that Lizzo wasn't cast to play the princess.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Sending your royal daughter and her fiancee off to a mission with zero guards and one criminal. Just great.
No matter how bad this series is and going to be, there will always be a silver lining in the form of a review by Disparu 🤣
I can't get through these reviews without Disparu! He's the MST3K that helps me slog through what Disney tries to pass off as storytelling.
"Californian personalities" I have been trying to pinpoint this and articulate it for more than a few years. Finally it makes sense that it was you who put my instinctive observations into language again.
Another show recently had a scene where the daughter doesn’t want to get married to someone she didn’t chose, and her father the king says “Even I do not exist above tradition and duty”. It’s that simple, but here we have Disney being stupid.
They have been doing this for decades. You'd think they finally understand how royalty works since they have made so many princess stories.
What always amazes me about TV shows like this is that you could easily assume these royal young adults have grown up their entire lives being told they would be (barring a sudden economic or wartime change that could necessitate a change in spousal option) marrying a specific person for the good of their realm, their kingdom, their people, their own honour and their family's honor. Arranged marriages were historically common and betrothal started early. There's literal YEARS to get used to this idea. It's mind boggling that every princess in these dramas is convinced she can throw the fate of literally her entire society out the window because she feels like she doesn't want to get married. Madame you were literally MADE to cement alliances and prevent societal collapse through marriage so royal houses wouldn't go to war with each other. I'm sorry, but that's how royal marriages WORK, and Disparu has a point in saying that if you truly wanted to marry for love, you'd be better off abdicating if you truly would be willing to give up privileged royal life for a choice in spouse. Duty comes before love in like 99.9% of cases of royal marriage, marrying for love is a very beautiful thing but it's a fairly MODERN concept for royalty (and in fact even for many regular citizens).
Anyone else remember the good old days when film and television actors were actually attractive?
The blonde in the gras with the gay prince guy looks nice. May be a snapchat filter though 😏
Or had to be good actors.
Solo/Falcon Chick, not attractive, not a good actor, but checks a box.
@@matane2465 yep, she is prolly the last person i would put on film..
You should try some Chinese series, recommend The Fox's Summer, it's free on TH-cam
To be fair, the blond chick is cute
Ellora is too young in this series. She would be about 35. Sorsha looks 35 years older, Willow looks 35 years older; why isn't she 35?!
Stop noticing.
Sorsha looks more like Fin Raziel in this...behold, the ravages of time.
Open your eyes; people born 1991-1996 are insanely OVER-REPRESENTED. To the point that it borders on conspiracy.
The list of franchises that have ‘coincidentially’ been handed to 90s zoomers is staggering. And the lengths they go to make sure that millennials are snubbed just to cast zoomers.
Even something like Uncharted, where the youngest millennials would have been the same age as Nathan Drake when it released? So, they DE-AGE the characters so they can cast ZOOMERS in the roles.
And just look at the MCU. The original avengers were people in their 30s and 40s. Now, one by one they are all ‘COINCIDENTIALLY’ being replaced SPECIFICALLY by people born 1991-1998 (emphasis on 1992)
they said the series set 20 years after the event from the movie. so, they didn't follow real time, they want to tell story about what happen 20 years after the original movie. fiction is not real life anyway. but yeah, the show is not that good anyway with all the woke agenda and out of place dialouge/music being shoved in there. Poor Warwick Davis, disney ruinned his most beloved movie/character.
Because Hollywood has a thing for...well, you know.
You don’t understand how much I appreciate you clarifying it as “Californian” instead of just “American” cause they pretty much are their own country of wackos
About a third of the way through this I remembered this was supposed to be a show about Willow.
I adore your unfiltered take on shows that try to pander and get easy points from an audience. Found your channel due to your hilarious She Hulk reviews, then branched into your Rings of Power stuff and now I’m committed!
I need Disparu merch that says "just turn your brain off, it'll be fine" so I can wear it when I go to voting booths and state universities
I've been saying this same thing since he started reviewing the Rangs of Power. "Just turn your brain off, it'll be fine" needs to be on a T-shirt.
YES!!!! 👍😁
With a pic of the pointing 😀
MAKE THE MERCH DISPARU
I would buy it.
'Re imagined for a modern audience' strikes again.
Willow TV writers saw the trebuchets in front of the walls and infantry at Winterfell and said, "hold my beer...there! Now the royal family are the first line of defense protecting the castle guards!"
I'm so glad they made a show called Willow that is not actually about Willow.
Normally, when I see a video is over an hour long, I tend to hesitate. When it's a Disparu video, I sit back, relax, and enjoy the masterpiece it always is. Thanks for making this shite entertaining since it could never be on its own!
I hope you don't expect your man to only last a few minutes cause an hour is too long for intimacy.
oooph.
Yes! Agreed!
"There's skill, and there's talent. And I happen to have both."
Thanks. I hate her already.
I know, right. Nothing wrong with having both talent and skill! What IS wrong is the lack of flaw in a character! Flaw is the main ingredient. Flaw helps a character learn to mature.
Example: Luke starts out as naive farmer boy, fails at least once in the presence of one of THE wisest Jedi Masters to ever live (Yoda), abandons his training to ''save'' his friends, lashes out at his father in anger aboard Death Star II, and trusting fully in the Force by throwing aside his lightsaber. Thereby, redeemed Anakin was able to break the shackles of Vader and save his son and fulfill the prophecy of the Chosen One.
@@stevenyarnellhaving both talent and skills at the beginning is not bad as character traits. Just look at Jaime Lannister as an example…as long as it leads to a drop, then it works.
She is flawed. She is a self centered bi....
There’s being entitled and being a bitch, and I happen to be both. 🙄 These writers and directors are just shooting themselves in the foot. Tons of us gave up on Disney after Star Wars, there will be another group with Willow, and still yet to come more people with Indiana Jones. And putting the whole ship back under Iger’s reign is the worst decision they could’ve done. Should’ve just kept ole Bob.
@@criticclips1560 I used to dislike Jamie but when he explained why he killed the mad king, i gained massive amounts of respect and sympathy for him. He did it to save hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians from horrible death. He knew he would be despised as an oathbreaker but he did it anyway. As far as im concerned, he did the right thing. Also, does a king of the Seven Kingdoms not swear an oath too? An oath to PROTECT THE REALM? I cant imagine anything more contrary to that than trying to burn your capital city with everyone still in it. In my opinion, the king broke his oath to protect his people _before_ Jamie killed him, therefore freeing Jamie of _his_ oath to protect the king. The moment the king decided that he would become a mass murderer for absolutely no reason, he became illegitimate. Jamie did some evil things but even he couldnt stand by and let the mad king do something _that_ horrible. He may have had a dirty conscience, but at least he had one. The king didnt.
I started to respect Jamie because he did the right thing and i started to sympathize with him because it made him despised by the very people he saved by doing it.
Willow: “the real enemy is still out there”
Other character: “who??”
Willow: “the writers”
Other character: “what?!!”
Willow: “ what!??”
Even Merydith from Brave who was a tomboy still did boyish things in her dress and looked super cool
Yup. Merida was a perfect example of what Hollywood seems to want these characters to be. But they're just too incompetent/bigoted to actually make it work the way it did for Merida.
The key is, Merida didn't hate femininity. She just hated the responsibilities thrust upon her. And Merida learned and developed as a character growing passed her many flaws.
This show makes Disenchantment look like Shakespeare.
Wait.... They did a sequel to Enchanted? I didn't even know that... Or do you mean the animated series that was a great disappointment?
@@FoxyFoxlyn sorry about that, yea the cartoon.
@@Drifter2025 ah OK. Because I just learnt.... There was a sequel. 😂
@@FoxyFoxlyn oh snap, there was one. Lol I looked it up too.
@@FoxyFoxlynI heard of the sequel and I don't want to acknowledge it. Enchanted is at once a brilliant deconstruction of fairy tale plots while also being a beautiful story about defeating cynicism and finding love again.
That does it. I'm not watching anything coming out of Disney+ or Hollywood for that matter. I'll just watch the honest critics like The Critical Drinker, Disparu and others. Thanks Disparu!
You learn more that way and actually have fun which Hollywood etc don't know how to do
Prior to this post, You've been watching? That was your first mistake!
I have more fun and entertainment from the reviews. At least with Disparu, Drinker, and Mauler I get lots of laughs.
Same, I just watch old, actually good, movies and listen to these guys rip apart the rubbish that gets released every year
@@infinitespace2520 This is the way.
why are they dropping current lingo like, 'totally' in a medieval fantasy classic?
Because the writers are obnoxious buffoons who don't understand that any other type of language use exists. That or it's a 'how do you do, fellow kids' thing.
“Thou art totally not that guy, mi-Lord”.
- Disney writers
And the, like, use of "like", in sentences.
Also, "you're not the boss of me".
It is because the writers are absolutely rubbish and don't realize that Genre Affectation is a component of the plot and Setting. They did the same thing with Star Wars. Marvel they can get away with it because i's set in modern day earth in most cases.
I think my favourite part is at the end of episode 3, when the caption "Rock Music Plays" comes up. REALLY gives the epic fantasy vibe.
The Power Rangers are expressly told not to escalate battles by the person who gave them their powers. It's one of the rules they agreed to to get the power. That show, as low budget as it was, at least thought of that ahead of time.
one huge issue I have with these new shows trying to be 80s epics. None of the armor or clothing looks actually worn, it looks like it was made ten minutes ago and put on someone that it was not made for.
"Just wants to go home and watch his favourite collection of paint dry" 😂 I love that line.
Where would we be without Disparu videos?? I can't watch even one blink of any of this trash he covers, but he makes it a real guilty pleasure to get involved. Thanks mate! Love your work.
This is the only place you can watch Willow now.😂😂😄
I watched it in Spanish (I don't even speak Spanish, I just have a weird sense of humor), and I'm amazed to hear now how better the voice actor for Willow is, compared to the actual actor
The "it's gobbledegook for stop" line was lifted straight from Young Guns. Lou Diamond Phillips says "it's a Navajo word, it means stop", after they ride down a sheer rocky cliff.
Jon Kasden thought we wouldn't remember... Well, Millennials probably won't.
Was looking for this comment.
Thank you! I was on my way when I saw your reply l.
Disney is really living up to that quote about the definition of insanity.
Given the attitude of the princess, when the city guards were told she was in danger, they probably said "I'll get right on that" and smoked a cigarette before arming up and going to her aid.
Lesbian teenagers stomp and sneer. That’s the show? Damn, Disney. WTF.
Well, they did say they wanted their shows to represent the “modern day”.
The Willow movie had a sense of wonder, magic, adventure, and imagination. This show has none of those qualities.
So… the princess watched Brave and stole that story for her own. And didn’t even think about how Merida grew from that experience and learned that her kingdom is more important than her own happiness. I mean, her parents learned that they wanted her to be happy and they gave her a chance to get to know the suitors and be happy. She still ignored that the characters were supposed to grow from that. And I don’t understand why a supportive brother is being framed as a bad thing. Jeez… all of these people are psycho.
Also, even if she gets married to a prince out of duty, its not like they cant both have _bedsheets companions_ behind closed doors. We know thats a thing that happened historically. We know it still happens with leaders of countries right now.
Long ago, far far away, I used to invest energy and excitement in finding out when shows and films were going to open. I now use the same amount of energy in making sure I avoid the opening and the entire series. Great video it really helps me to continue to do the latter
Im definitelyyyy not gonna watch the Willow show, but I am incredibly excited to watch Disparu tear it apart!!! 😂😂😂
I didn't watch Rings of Woke or She-Hulk but I enjoyed watching him tear those shows apart.
So you are so weak willed that you allow TH-camrs to form your opinion for you?
@@TroySavary no, I’m not going to watch willow because its not a appropriate show, and Disparu will at least try to cut out the inappropriate parts.
@@kaylieghskorner9650 If you are not interested in the show, ignore it. Why watch "reviews" of shows you claim not to be interested in? I watched one eposode of She Hulk, decided it was garbage, and walked away. I didn't waste my time with episode by episode complaint videos about it.
If you don't watch Willow, you definitely can't tell someone who watched it they are wrong about what happens in the show. Nothing "inappropriate " has happened so far.
@@TroySavary Were you born yesterday? They're watching a funny man take the piss out of garbage, this couldn't be more obvious. And he is ignoring it while also enjoying something else. It can be more interesting listening to reviewers discussing these things, whether you've seen the show or not. And he can tell you're wrong if you get something wrong, and I don't need to see all of Cuties to know what I deem inappropriate.
It's truly depressing how honor, duty, self sacrifice...y'know, being HEROIC is seen as bad nowadays (or rather, by these types). And this writer's apparently 40? Must've been a spoiled, sheltered life. Just shameful.
Here, in Los Angeles, I feel warm vibes of Disparu's love for California.
UGH, I hated that redheaded actress in Falcon and the Winter Soldier, so I don't think I can stomach this show.
Zero charisma, as a Brit I'm sick of the robotic posh accents.
What!!! How can you not love Freckled Jesus?
She knew she was special. Disney told us she was special. We must now love and admire her specialness. Anything less than complete submission is, well you know the drill.
Racist!!! Bigotry!!! Misogyny!!
Willow the movie: beautiful red headed woman. Willow the tv show: ... well, not
Why do the younger characters talk like modern American teenagers, and why do the adults have British accents whilst using more formal language?
Pick a lane.
After that stunt she tried to pull with her brother and the kife throwing "competition": Im convinced that Kit was not only one who also climbed trees as a kid, but also would have pushed her brother out of it.
Also, that story about the princess who disguised herself as a knight and fought for her own hand: lifted straight from A Kid in King Arthur's Court.....some real high brow stories they're drawing from.
The joke about telling the horse to stop in a different language that the other riders don't understand comes straight out of the movie Young Guns. It's almost word for word.
Thank you! I was trying to remember what movie they copied that scene from.
I knew they'd ruin Willow and that's what they did. Glad you keep preaching about duty because it's important.
A bit over 5 minutes in, and my impression is that the actresses do not relate to the period or style of culture intended, but think that they are in an American bar culture. That's how they come across to me. Like some NYC middle class college dropout singles bar. [Later: someone in another thread wrote "SoCal ironic Whedonspeak" which may be more accurate than NYC. Haven't been to CA since many decades.]
AOC lol
Yes, it’s really awkward!
I have good memories of watching Willow with my mom. I won't be watching this series. I don't want my memories polluted with this travesty.
God bless you Disparu for doing what none of us want to do and watching/reviewing this show for us! You turn unbearable garbage into absolutely hilarious content, thank you!
He said the words "shampoo advert" and a literal shampoo ad came on a second later! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Why do these writers insist on implementing modern values on historical shows. And saying "well it's fantasy" isn't an argument for changing the rules of a timeline from which the whole genre clearly takes its inspiration.
And I loathe how these self-righteous writers are incapable of even having a basic philosophical argument about their own worldviews between their characters. It's always the same: A morally superior character (a woman) spews out facts and the incompetent lesser being (a man) doesn't challenge her views or if he does it's only to emphasize them
Just when you think Disparu's run out of things to talk about, Disney pulls another one.
Holy hell. They STARTED with a hit line on Mad Mardigan?!?! One of the best fantasy characters of all time. Sure irascible rogue is an old trope but not everyone does it so well.
Wait, the chosen one is a nobody who secretly is the child of the ruler of a magically inclined kingdom hidden away in a land protected by a magical barrier meant to keep magic out? Did Willow just rip off Sword of Truth and hopes no one will notice?
A Monarch would have never ever let the last remaining son/daughter to go rescue the other in risk to lose both specially if none of them has any kids. WOULD NEVER HAPPEN IN ANY MONARCHY EVER
The problem in films and tv shows isn’t creating a strong character that’s female, it’s creating a strong female character. There’s a difference. Judge Judy once said in an interview “I never saw myself as a female lawyer or a female judge. I was just a lawyer who was female.” Characters (like people) should be built and based on their traits, not their identity. Being female, black, gay, trans, etc isn’t a trait.
Haven’t watched the video yet…I’m terrified to know what happens to Mad Martigan.
Well he's a man, in a current Disney project, so I'm pretty sure we all know EXACTLY how he'll be portrayed.
The only question is whether they will castrate him in public or behind the scenes. After which he will apologize.
In this series he is basically the equivalent of the father who went out for cigarettes and never came back, abandoning his family and friends...
It's Disney, I think you know.
Deadbeat dad... more Disney assassination of males.
I really appreciate Disney/Lucasfilm/Amazon etc for making these shows...so bad that I wouldn't even be tempted to watch them. Time is limited and it makes choosing a lot easier.
I love how they talk likes it's the 2000s.
Like, what doest thou mean, mi-lord?
@@yourenotmarywelcome8693 🤣
She trashes Mad Martigan as the bad one in the relationship when , when they met, she was on a mission to murder an infant.
Sure. He was the problem.
Disney is dedicated to spoiling everything from my childhood.
It makes me sad to think what I thought was the best 13yr olds were able to write up in fanfiction turns out to be the best 40+ yr old men are able to write...
Man, the days of Twilight seem so innocent now.
First episode and they revealed Elora Danan. Well, so much for suspense huh? Except why on EARTH is she that young? She'd have to be older than Sorcha's kids by at least a year, probably a notable few.
I love how they shoehorn these Arab/Hispanic/Indian-looking actors into these European-inspired medieval settings, but still have the balls to lecture us about cultural appropriation. Would it kill you to have the Brown man wear a fancy turban or a headdress, like all of his ancestors did?
You can seenthe scene from Braveheart with long shanks where he tosses the princes boy friend out the window. Or when he'll tells him " one day you'll be a king, at least act like one"
36:04 The power rangers had somewhat of an unspoken rule to never escalate a fight.
To prevent an "If they're gonna just squish the small monsters with the robot, let's make it giant from the get-go" scenario, which would increase collateral damage. This way, if/when the monster goes "gigamax" it focuses entirely on them.
Seeing how the main protagonist of the movie was Warwick Davis, you'd think this show would have more little people.
I mean it was an interesting concept, what if a prophesied hero was lost as a baby and dropped in the care of those most likely to be underestimated. Why not just more of that? It would've been an easy win for marketing and for plot.
That's exactly what I thought it would be. Enemies underestimating their strength due to their stature. I'm so disappointed.
Or just use the sequel novels by Lucas, those were good. They even did an interesting thing with Elora Danon's character in it. Since she was raised from a baby to be a messiah and chosen one she grew up to be a self-centered, whiny, hyper-sensitive hell-bitch because her entire life everyone fawned over her, catered to her, and provided her every luxury at a whim. It's not until the second book after her travels with Willow that she ends up becoming a decent human being.
@@alzaelnext638 That version of Elora is one of my all time favorite characters. I lover her character growth and the interesting form of magic she has. I love all the twists and turns her story goes through. I've read the first book a couple times, but the second two i have read a dozen or more times. Such a magical world! It's also probably one of the most intimidating depictions of Elves in fantasy!
The best part is the Woke complain that the movie wasn't diverse...even though the MAIN CHARACTER was a little person...and it was made more than 30 years ago...when was last time Hollywood cast a little person as the MAIN CHARACTER in a "mainstream" movie.
Rememory was great, but it wasn't a blockbuster...
@@DeadlyPlatypus In fact there's only one cis-het man in the whole film and a lot of the film he's used for comic relief. He even gets dressed up as a woman and gets hit on by a man at one point so you could argue he might be trans or gay.
The first movie should actually be perfect by their standards.
Yeah I can see why Mad Mortigan left.
Even he isn't THAT mad.
I could never understand those men who hate women, after the first two minutes of this series, I now understand.
An interesting idea, that the writer of this series secretly hates women. After all, every woman in the series is either basically a man, or a complete waste of skin. The misogyny runs deeper than I thought.
Maybe don't judge your perception of women from media?
@@Nopeasaurus Exactly, real women are way more cutthroat.
@@kostasbiker9302 Again, a generalization. You don’t even know what “real women” are. Go out and talk to more women. I say this for you sake, not mine.
@@Nopeasaurus Got a woman for 6 years now, so i'm fine thanks for your concern. Women have become unbearable to deal with, even 1/10 have an ego. But you're probably a woman, so you have to "support" the sisterhood of hoes.
"the only things she lift is muffins" got me a nice laugh. I loved willow as a kid and not surprised hollywood is ruining another thing from the past again.
Id let her butter _my_ muffins, i can tell you that :D Shes very beautiful and a great cook. If i could just get her to not do stupid things like not go on "adventures" with the Fellowship of the Fling, she could make a great wife.
It amazes me that Hollywood fails time and time again on capturing the essence of what made the original content good. Top Gun: Maverick was a perfect example of how to create a sequel. This show is brutal.
Happy I made my decision to part ways with Disney + subscription last July. This is just another TV series among many I haven’t watched. XD
Are you sure they aren't still taking money from you? That happened to several ex-subscribers, myself included.
