The Super Bowl ad featuring The Mandalorian & Grogu has sparked a lot of debate, but the real issue isn’t the ad itself. Instead, the controversy stems from the overall marketing approach – or lack of a clear plan – for the show so far.
TV dramas are constantly changing, and lately, many shows are pushing characters into increasingly dark and disturbing situations. While some characters become truly monstrous villains fueled by intense anger, others simply become incredibly irritating – the kind of characters that make viewers want to mute the TV. It’s not always about evil; sometimes, it’s just about being unbelievably annoying.

I was completely blown away by Jeremy Allen White in The Iron Claw, just like I was with The Bear. He truly embodied Kerry Von Erich, and the whole cast – alongside Zac Efron, Harris Dickinson, Stanley Simons, and Holt McCallany – was phenomenal.

It’s a devastating look at their pursuit of fame, marked by a series of terrible tragedies, until ultimately, only one of the four brothers is left. It’s a really powerful and moving film.

She suggested the film would have been even stronger if it had fully embraced Fennell’s personal vision and been titled Emerald Fennell’s Wuthering Heights instead of using quotation marks to hint at it. Ultimately, she found it a unique and welcome change of pace from typical big-budget movies, especially for those willing to approach it as its own interpretation rather than a strict adaptation of the book.
