It's not a dumb aspect. It's a core tenet of the Death Watch.
I get that it makes more sense to the to the hard core fans who,'ve watched everything from clone wars to rebels, but it completely makes sense in the mythos the show itself has shown. Their mythology sssys if they don't follow their creed that Mandalore falls and the people are split apart. That happened, recently, so of course there's a sect that wants to honor the old ways, take Mandalore back, and bring the Mandalorian people home from exile. And of course they're going to be in conflict with Bo Katan, who forsook the old Creed and lost Mandalore. She's directly responsible for everything wrong with their world. A cautionary tale as the Armorer said.

Can't take your helmet off in front of a non-verbal baby? How is that the way?
Love the show. But even the best shows have dumb aspects.

Not stupid at all. Also not simple.
I think even if you back it up beyond that there is a whole human history full of examples of warrior cultures exercising discipline for the sake of discipline.
Much like Samauri and Shaolin monk cultures, virtually everything they do is meant to cultivate discipline.
That’s the way I view the helmet thing.
View the whole Bo Katan proceedings through the context of the warrior culture lens and it isn’t a stretch for me at all. [Reply]
Best episode yet.
But, I found it silly that there is 3 Mandalorian's left in the universe and they kick out Din Djarin because he took off his helmet-because of the way and all. You would think when the your population is down to 3 Mandalores you might want to compromise and maybe unite and get a plan to get your numbers up.
Din is the rightful wielder of the legendary Darksaber, and therefore the heir to the throne of Mandalore.
The Mandalorian is so much better the Boba Fett [Reply]

I did like the way that he burned the shit out of his own leg with it, even after he'd had it in his possession for a while and had plenty of time to play around with it. Think about how dangerous it would be to effectively utilize a weapon like that in a fight.
I assume "Not Killing Yourself With Your Own Lightsaber" is Jedi 101. :-) [Reply]
Interesting theory going around. While he didn't physically appear the episode was still about Boba Fett. So, while I did catch the mythosaur reference the Armorer made, but I didn't quite connect all the dots. In part because the tv in my room in rehab isn't great, so I couldn't see the mythosaur skull in her cabinet. But the theory is that the episode wasn't a setup for Din becoming the Mandalore. It's actually leading towards Boba Fett fulfilling the legend the Armorer spoke of, and he is the prophesied mythosaur that will rise up and unite the Mandalorian people. And Maybe that's the story that will unfold across Mandalorian, BoBF and Bo Katan's show.
Also more evidence during the episode that the Armorer is Rook Kast, once a member of Maul's Shadow Collective.
Could be a lot more going on than it appears... [Reply]

That's going to be difficult considering Boba aligned with the Empire and doesn't consider himself Mandolorian.
Boba doesn't want the Dark Saber unless Dinn gives it to him as a gift. [Reply]
Boba, in the episode he reclaimed his armor, used his chain codeas justification, saying that it was given to his father as a foundling and passed down to him. Which is saying that it was his by Mandalorian Creed. Which is literally saying he's a Mandalorian to Din Djarin, , no matter what else he says to Bo Katan or anyone else
And my thought is that Grogu ends up with the darksaber, no one ever takes Mandalore back, and Boba Fett brings the Mandalorian people to Tatooine and unites them or forms an alliance with the Tuskans
Yeah, a little too Dune. But that's just exercising my imagination. Who knows... [Reply]

It's a plot hole considering The Mandalorian monologue he does things for himself but the others won't follow him because of the Empire affiliation.
If there's one it's Grogu in the distant future, which I called when the Dark Saber appeared in this continuity, and if it's this Era's continuity it'll be Wren [Reply]
