TMOG 03/15/23 3:11:24 PM #15:	Honestly, looking back on it, the worst move they made was making it a Willow show instead of it's own thing. In retrospect I can't think of a single reason Willow himself needed to be there. If they just wrote it as an original high fantasy series and removed the lore that tied it into the movie, it would have been much stronger. <cite>TMOG posted [p:972192029] in Disney+ Wi...

FortuneCookie 03/15/23 3:22:57 PM #20:	I haven't seen the show. I've heard that Willow himself is a cameo and that it mostly focuses on the daughter of Madmartigan and Sorsha. If that's true, I can see why it wouldn't catch on regardless of quality. Willow was a cult-classic that is mostly known to thirty-somethings and older. Newer fans have no reason to see it because most of them aren't familiar with Willow. Older fans have no reason to see it because they want Willow, not someone else's daughter. It probably should have just been an original series. I can't imagine the Willow name being that much of a draw. <cite>FortuneCookie posted [p:972192292] in Disney+ Wi...

Pastryarchy 03/15/23 3:27:24 PM #21:	No surprise, it stunk. The original move came out in 1988. Fans of it would only look at this new series out of nostalgia and Disney basically gutted that selling point. Warwick Davis makes an appearance and ~~the baby is grown up playing a part of the main cast,~~ but that's about it.... Even if you can get past that, the writing is lazy and the main cast is bloated. The movie worked with the odd pairing of Warwick Davis and Val Kilmer (plus the baby who naturally didn't do much besides be an adorable prop). That's it for the main cast. These two had years of acting experience and unexpected chemistry on screen. Dwarven Willow (Davis) was the actual main protagonist of the story, not the tall athletic rogue Madmartigan (Kilmer)...a switch for Hollywood at the time and caught audiences off guard (that's good). This new main cast feels more like the CW and CBC collaborated to check boxes with little regard to actual chemistry in scenes. There's at least 2 characters you could remove and still make the script progress forward with how the series is written. Couldn't do that with the movie... The casting and roles echo "corporate checklist". And I say this as someone who was looking forward to seeing a genuine Willow spinoff succeed. This screamed lazy attempt at keeping the rights to an IP by name drop alone, sorry. --- Let them eat cake. http://tryimg.com/8/2017/06/05/3BY9w.gif http://tryimg.com/8/2017/06/05/3Bstc.jpg <cite>Pastryarchy posted [p:972192400] in Disney+ Wi...

TheShadowViper 03/15/23 3:38:36 PM #25:	The problem with these type of shows is that they feel more like an excuse to get older actors back than attempts to tell interesting stories with those actor's characters.
