Band of Brothers is stronger narratively because of the through line of following a single company even if the POVs switch from one episode to another.

The Pacific is amazing in showing the brutality of the Pacific theater and probably has the best battle scenes put on film. But it suffers narratively by switching the main POV halfway through the series and Basilone's storyline felt really tacked on.

This isn't controversial - it's crazy. I last watched Band of Brothers decades ago, and still vividly remember many scenes from it. The Pacific I barely remember anything of.

@pelicanidae2 @hemingquay @mightydudbolt It's hilarious how convoluted this is. "Dooku killed him and impersonated him to place the Clone Army order" would've been a much simpler explanation.
English
@hemingquay @mightydudbolt He was a Jedi Master and friend of Dooku who had Force visions of a huge war. Warned the Council and tried to get them to prepare militarily. Denied, he went behind their back to contract a clone army. Dooku, led by Sidious, arranged his death and took over the clone project.

Okay, here's where George Lucas went wrong:
So first, he called the antagonist group the Trade Federation. The average viewer should immediately understand their function and role in the galaxy, right? This is what we call economical storytelling. They're the TRADE FEDERATION.
Wrong. The average viewer is too stupid to understand this. And it gets worse from there. Because even if the average viewer WAS able to understand that the Trade Federation is, in fact, a powerful group controlling trade in the galaxy, they would then immediately become confused by the concept of the Trade Federation blocking the flow of trade to a planet. This is because the average person is too stupid to understand the concept of foregoing immediate gratification for the prospect of long-term gain. So the logical implications of what the Trade Federation is doing, which would be obvious to most of us intelligent viewers who understand bargaining leverage, would still be completely beyond the capacities of the average viewer.
Basically, Lucas wildly overestimated the intelligence of the general audience, and left too many failure points where the average viewer would become completely lost. It's his own fault really. We cannot blame the stupid for their own incapacity. They can't help it.

Been seeing a lot of Star Wars rankings on my feed so here it is.

My son is currently watching Mandalorian. Similar to The Clone Wars it has a wide range of quality. But it's also crazy to think that the final arc of the first two seasons are both "Gus Fring captures Baby Yoda and Mando has to form a team to rescue him".

When was the last time a popular show had a good final season and a satisfying finale because I genuinely can’t remember.

I'm a big Diet Dew fan and prefer it over regular Dew
Ari Wasserman@AriWasserman
Coke Zero is a fine replacement. I drink it regularly. But saying any sugar-free drink tastes better than the full sugar ones is insane. Why? Because the thing that makes everything taste better — sugar — is in one of the drinks and not the other. I think people are lying to themselves when they say diet drinks TASTE better. They don't. It's science.

@zachflipspages It's not as slow as the first one.
And I will be the first to admit that I'm probably in the minority opinion regarding Kingdoms of Death. The next two after KoD were great. Howling Dark might be my favorite in the series though.
