Willow - Disney+

I think it's more to do with the treatment of an IP that would have been a large part of the childhood of many Gen X'ers and what the expectations were for it, though granted the original film was "light" with comedic/childish elements and probably more on par with Legend or other similar films of the time, rather than an epic like Star Wars.

If it were an entirely original IP it probably would have fared far better.

I’m really enjoying the show but disappointed with some of the language like having the “hots” for someone (plenty of ways of saying that is neither too old fashioned or too modern) and that they have started using profanity.

The costumes on the two woodcutters were very out of place and it had me thinking that Elora had stepped into a magical place and the that women were illusions by beings trying to interact with Elora and teach her something. Odd choice of clothes. I did not recognise Hannah Washington at all.

Was that General Kael that appeared to Jade? I thought at first that perhaps Kael had indeed killed her family around the time of the movie and that she was a bit older than Elora and Kit. Then I remembered thayt she had said the family was killed trying to get to Mother’s Gate and inside the barrier - which is after Kael dies. I hope they explain this.

I'm surprised at the comments in that article.. a lot of people seemed to like it (which is baffling)

Apart from the first couple of episodes which seemed pretty good, it just gradually got irritating

A lot of commenters on tvline seem very positive about everything. Going by them shows like Star Trek Discovery are some of the greatest shows ever.

Think there may be someone in denial

That picture kinda sums up one of the complaints about the show. He had a flamethrower for that scene that came out of nowhere and went back there right after, never to be seen again.
