Thom Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 First teaser is out, and I have to say it looks pretty good. Not much about the story, obviously, but the visuals look nice, and it is good seeing Willow again! He did a pretty good voice-over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roy Focker Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 Looks like they wanted to make a young adult Dungeon and Dragons movie. Realized they don't own it and but then remembered they do own the rights to Willow. Could be fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dynaman Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 I didn't have high hopes for this but that trailer has me interested. If it is as good as it looks then Disney Plus has another winner (and they are already far above every other streaming service in terms of original content already).

Big s Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 I kinda like the younger audience adventure stuff lately. Space shows like Lost in Space and the Mandalorian have been good so far and as far as fantasy, I really liked Dark Crystal. Hopefully more fun stuff will be on the way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pablumatic Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 I'll watch. I don't have any expectations for a Willow sequel and I'm curious where it goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucasfilm wanted to do Lord Of The Rings, but couldn't get the rights so they did Willow instead. My only hope is they don't base this series on the abysmal Shadow Moon sequel books.

It doesn't look that way. It looks like his wife is still alive in this, whereas she and the kids are dead in the sequel book. As are Madmartigan and Sorsha. And he went by the name Thorn Drumhelller. So, hopefully not, unless they pick and choose from that plot and feed into a new story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to see Kilmer return for it, but I don't know what they would do about working his vocal injury into it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

technoblue Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 So it seems Kilmer’s Madmartigan will be involved somehow. Good for him, if true. https://www.darkhorizons.com/kilmer-has-presence-in-willow-series/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess there’s another movie coming out with Val and his daughter and he actually has some speaking lines. From what I understand, it wasn’t easy and they had to record on days where he was feeling top notch, but it’s great to hear he’s really pushing to be in these projects.

mechaninac Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 The trailer makes it seem that they're staying true to the original movie and actually paying respect to those characters while introducing new ones to expand its world and carry it forward, instead of the all too insidious trend of reimagining/rebooting/adapting to current year hang-ups/narratives... refreshing and commendable if that turns out to be the case; however, this being from Disney (their track record of producing mostly garbage and eviscerating franchises and their own past glories to push The Message over the past several years), I'm not holding any hope that the trailer isn't just a cynical bait-and-switch and that the final product won't be a butchered pile of Troll droppings. Please let me be wrong... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There have been some stand out Marvel shows. They’ve proven they can produce good shows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bolt Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 Very true. But they're still inconsistent. Book of Boba was so watered down and outright silly with the romper room speeder bike gang. And Obi-Wan was quite a disappointment. The only good thing about that whole series was his last duel with Vader. The list goes on, but you get the point..

Big s Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 I do hope Willow ends up good, but to be honest most of what they complain about in that video were things that seemed to be obvious from the previews that have been up for a while. As long as it’s a fun entertaining show, I won’t mind watching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quality is subjective (it is perfectly within one's right to like or dislike whatever they want), too little too late is a thing, and Disney's list of mediocrities, disappointments, failures, and wtf-ims over the past several years far outstrips their successes, as attested by their dwindling viewership and box-office losses.

You said “box-office losses.” Which Disney films have lost money? Not a sacred cow by any means, but you’re painting a picture of systematic failure which is just not backed up by anything. As for the topic at hand, we’ll see about Willow when it comes out. Clickbait YouTube videos and articles from non-reputable sites aren’t actual sources of any real information regarding the series.
