I imagine season 2 as a transitional bridge to more important stuff that we will get to see in next seasons. Altought i could watch it with pleasure i felt like it didnt have a main purpose, a climax or urgrency

Omniman was the best part of season 1. His presence on earth gave a sence of threat to every scene because we knew something was wrong and he could snap at any moment. Unfortunately without much of him now, there was a huge gap that no one could fill.

Also, strangely, i felt we saw more Mark than Invincible, even more than in first season. He doesnt train, and frankly, he does almost nothing. He has no purpose as a superhero and it almost seems that he is bothered when wearing the suit. I get it that he is a 18 y old kid that wants to live like a human but I really couldnt care less about his relationship and life at college. Rest of superheros dont do much either.

Sidenotes : I also thought the ending was forced for the sake of comparing Mark to his father.

Final note : The best thing about season 2 is Allen.

I rate this very high althought the complaints because i think season 3 will be fire.

Season 1 10/10 + season 2 7/10 = 8.5/10.

With great effort I finished season one. And that is because after a first masterful episode the series focuses around two female protagonists that are at best irritating. The Emperors arc is great. Their act is top notch. Throught them we get to explore human nature, morality and religion. Brother Day and Dusk are commanding presenses that elevate every scene they are in. They are the reason i give 5/10 rating and not 1/10. Also the story around their perfect acting is unexpectedly very good.

Everything else is hollow and unisteresting. I resisted greatly the urge to skip many scenes as i was wondering why in a universe so rich we get to focus about the childish emotions of 3 womans of colour (im not racist). For example, instead of exploring the genious nature of Gaal, perhaps the smartest young person on the galaxy, the screenwriters decide that she will have the personality of a 13 year old. With Salvor on the other hand, we are told every minute how SPECIAL she is without her actually doing anything to gain our sympathy and Phara is the typical one dimensional villain. Needless to say the 3 womans are surrounded by obedient stupid and soulless men that are even more unisteresting.

Maybe I ll watch season 2 skipping every scene with Gaal and Salvor.

As a man who comes tired from work and want to relax eating my lunch this episode gives me what i need. A perfect orchestrated action with a bit of character development. Even if the material is not something mindblowing i get the feel that its been made with love and care. Watching this show makes me feel warm and cozy.

I dont have something to add so i ll waste my time saying that i have no idea of the star wars universe...so i just watch it like any other movie and so far the Mandalorian seems to be the type of show that evolves around small missions and sidequests, showing the star wars universe. Small moments like those rock crabs or the paintings at the end make me feel immersed in the series, following every step of the protagonist because i know he lives at an intersting world.
