also yknow what im kinda iffy about the bathing in living waters thing as a means of redemption (for reasons that belong to their own post, if i ever figure out how to word it), but the fact that there even is redemption offered despite how strict the helmet rule is, is like. well proof actually that it's not very strict

and the fact is that prior to The Purge, the mines would not have been so hard to access. literally if the city is inhabited, if the surface is not glassed, if there is no debris and shit in the way, then it should by all means just be a walk and a skip down some stairs and there you've arrived to the living waters. it all around seems like a very easy method of redemption which just blows the whole "unforgiving cult!!!" thing out of the water because, like, well it seems very forgiving actually

#brot posts #mando posting #mando spoilers #which is... kinda part of why i find it iffy #as a writing choice i mean . like i dont think im a fan of the worldbuilding theyre doing here #i'll try to sum up my feelings on it:#SO much weight was placed on not breaking this one sacred rule #and then you can just like. say hey i broke it. but i'm redeemed now because i jsut did this one simple action #and hell even though din had a harder time of it than he should have if this werepre-purge it still was resolved in a single fucking episod #it just feels so cheap . writing-wise. to offer this fundamental shakeup of the protagonist's worldview and identity #and then just. resolve it. so quickly. and so easily #all he did was have to take a lil bath like okay .#wheres the deep inner soul searching wheres the debate of the meaning of life and ego and self identity #naw just dump yourself in some water and you're all good 👍#like. fucking okay then #like its an ACTION not an actual re-evaluation of your faith and the role you play in it after breaking The Sacred Rule #which i feel like if you Break The Sacred Rule it requires more of an indepth soul searching kind of resolution #ideally i would want din to be redeemed not by any single concrete action #but by him finding confidence in himself again after all that #and coming back to the armorer and saying. i dont care. I Am A Mandalorian #and she stares at him and is like. there we go. that's the answer. you're redeemed. you are indeed a mandalorian 👍#like the answer is inside yourself or whatever the fuck just anything more than THAT #sorry see this is what i mean by it needs to be its own post i tried to sum it up but here i am like 20 tags deep #and this still doesnt cover everything i find annoying about it #anyway but WHATEVER! i think having such an easy solution kinda cheapens the weight of it #but well how are you going to fucking say theyre unforgiving + harsh + so so cruel cult :pleadingeyes: when the solution is actually so eas #and once again any thing that makes it seem crueler is because we're lookign at this Post-Purge. everything got fucked by the purge
