Puts hair on your chest, doesn’t it Sticks?” “Well my mother raised us on blackroot,” Madmartigan retorts before turning back to the infant, who he’s clearly falling for. “I am the father of two children,” he says angrily, “And you never ever give a baby blackroot!” When Willow finds Madmartigan giving baby Elora Danan some blackroot, he’s livid. ![]() Now compare that to the blackroot scene from the Willow movie. ![]() (Earlier she wanted to use the wand to remove the stick from Willow’s butt. The darkness of the story-about a demon queen killing babies to avoid a prophecy-is balanced against humor and courage and friendship.Īt one point in Episode 5, Elora is cooking soup with Cherlindrea’s wand and Willow tells her to give it back. People who defend the show point out that the movie was also often funny and didn’t take itself too seriously, but that misses the point. I could overlook the bad costumes and the lackluster story if it just felt like the Willow of old. Well here we have showrunner and writer Jonathan Kasdan (son of OG Star Wars trilogy writer, Lawrence Kasdan) who professes to be a massive Willow fan and seems just as clueless about what made Willow great. Watching Willow, I feel like 18-year-old me after watching The Phantom Menace for the first time, not quite understanding how the guy who created Star Wars could misunderstand what made it great so entirely.
