The real question...has Rhonda Rousey gotten a call yet? Though she's apparently had some controversy as well.

I don't even understand why we are doing another season of Mando. I get that it is successful, but the story is sufficient in my mind.
Call Favreau and Filoni and tell them you've decided it's time to wrap things up.I Have Spoken said:

We should just nuke social media all together
If she can successfully turn herself into a celebrity spokesperson for the right it might end up being more lucrative for her than her run on Mando would have been.dave94 said:
She was great as her character in the show. And became a legit "star" from it in the mainstream.
But she knew that her social media posts were catching heat months ago, and still decided to keep pushing it. You can't feel that bad for her losing her gig when she totally chose to put it at risk.
It sucks, but she only has herself to blame.
Some sort of gofundme now would probably generate more income for her from people wanting to stick it to Disney than she was paid for acting on the show.
She may be crazy like a fox, err Kraken.
I'm not sure that repeatedly calling conservatives Nazis should be considered "some inflammatory things" but obviously a lot of people are perfectly fine with "punching up" regardless of how stupid that concept is.fig96 said:I think a few other factors play in here as well.PatAg said:
I don't agree with firing her, but she also knew what would likely happen by continuing to do it.
She isn't being arrested, and she can still work as an actress. She just got fired because she explicitly did something her employer did not want her to do, that in their minds can harm their brand.
I'm not even saying you can't be upset about it, or I didn't intend to be if it came across that way.
I don't really understand people's obsession with caring what celebrities politics are in the first place. Especially actors, you are literally watching them pretend to be other people. Who cares who they are privately.
The picture Pedro posted is the same kind of **** you see other morons tweeting and thinking they are being extremely clever. I'm still going to enjoy the Mandalorian, I don't watch it to inform my view of the world. If Disney thought that would harm their brand, he would be fired too (would be harder since he is the main character, but that's just another thing that factors into it)
Pedro has posted some inflammatory things, but he's also targeting a group that routinely says things just as awful about Hollywood. He's also calling out a belief system or actions, whereas Carano literally asked what the difference was between persecuting Jews and Conservatives.
We also all know that Hollywood skews left and happens to be largely funded by the ethnic group she posted at best things in very poor taste about. Not a good idea.
When an entire industry is very aware of diversity and inclusion (whatever your opinion of that might be) you can't go around comparing political beliefs to ethnic cleansing (even if it wasn't a direct comparison) when you've already got a history of unpopular opinions like Carano did.
I don't necessarily think she should've been fired, but I understand why she was.
I bet if Trump had been banned he'd still be president.FightinTexasAg15 said:

the only thing i've learned on this thread is Pedro is a ginormous loser. Thanks!
Pedro is probably the coolest guy associated with Star Wars in the Disney era.
But on the flip side, do we want to review what lot of conservatives routinely say about actors and Hollywood?Fenrir said:I'm not sure that repeatedly calling conservatives Nazis should be considered "some inflammatory things" but obviously a lot of people are perfectly fine with "punching up" regardless of how stupid that concept is.fig96 said:I think a few other factors play in here as well.PatAg said:

I'm also not super familiar with what Pascal has said, though the one post I've seen with the confederate and nazi flags isn't directly calling anyone anything except "losers" (though he's certainly connecting them).
Carano literally said "how is this different" when comparing the treatment of people because of ethnicity vs political beliefs, two things which are in fact very different. And it was in an industry that's very aware of diversity. And she's also talking about the people that pay for most of her projects.
Whatever her intention was, she's just ticking off the "who can I upset" boxes.
He has repeatedly associated Trump supporters with Nazis, not just the one time. I know that there are plenty on here that agree with that sentiment so they don't see the issue with painting with such a broad brush, but it's clearly inflammatory and denigrates a specific population (ironically Pedro is a supporter of a campaign to "stop hate" on social media).
I'm not entirely sure why it matters to review "what a lot of conservatives routinely say about actors". That seems like an odd way to justify his statements that I'm not sure you would extend the same courtesy to someone that gets a lot of hate from any other group.

Gonna not follow this thread for a bit

Because calling someone a name is very different than comparing the persecution of Jews and conservatives. (And again, a belief or philosophy is very different than an ethnicity.) Lots of Fox News pundits and the like have called various actors and political parties and groups awful things and they aren't getting fired (at least not most of them).Fenrir said:

And I'm not justifying anyone's statements, I don't think either one of them should be fired. But when one of them makes a really bad statement about the people who fund the projects in an industry that values diversity and inclusivity (and already had a history of not great comments), I understand why it happened.

Apparently not
Has Bill Burr commented yet?
So (desperately trying to change the subject) what's the coolest weapon in the show (vehicles and Force powers excluded)? Mando's long gun? The Darksaber?
That Beskar spear Mando was carrying was pretty cool.

The spear or the Darksaber
Honorable mention to Fett's jet pack missile and the flamethrower gauntlet

I read that Pedro Pascal's parents were committed Communists, which is why Pinochet kicked them out of Chile. I don't hold a man responsible for what his parents did, but it does explain some things.

Sounds like they got the better option offered by Pinochet.

Maybe Pedro thought he was playing Pinochet in WW84?

This is what it takes for a producer to get fired
and rehired

If Pedros political views bother you, I've got some news for you about Donald.
This thread got real ****ty, real quick
Some people live to thrust their political views in your face, then let you know how stupid you are for not agreeing.
Hope the Mods can clean this train wreck up at some point.

His gun was in the Crest when it got blown away, right? The Beskar spear might be the most fascinating to me - indestructible weapons seem like a good thing to keep with you at all times.Duncan Idaho said:AgfromHOU said:WES2006AG said:

Not sure who all played the Jango Fett game on PS2 nearly 20 years ago, but it had most of the same weapons. I would catch people on fire with the flamethrower just to see them run around screaming. He also had the whip cord that Mando uses on Ahoska and others, and some great darts that were pretty much instant death when you hit someone with them.
The real treat would be when you tried to use the jet pack missile on someone without realizing you were partically obstructed by a wall or low ceiling and ended up shooting it about 2 feet into something solid, then having it blow back on you.
