It lost me in the first scene after the recap. I'm sure this is going to get me downvoted, but the establishment of "princess, but battle-trained" just feels hokey at this point. That I instantly caught some kind of romantic vibes between the women also hit a red flag for me. Slow build me with subtle moments, and we're good. Throw it down as the establishing shot, and I'm out until I'm in a more charitable mood.
I loved Willow as a kid, and I'll likely give it a second chance, but I'm so far behind on shows that aren't just getting my attention because of the 20-35 year nostalgia chord being struck. I'll likely find something that instantly takes me out of That 90's Show next month the same way I did with the newest Star Wars movies, Fuller House, Girl Meets World, The Mighty Ducks, Animaniacs, Jay and Silent Bob Reboot, and Twin Peaks.
So far, Wednesday and W/Bob and David have been about the only things that stuck the landing for me in the past few years of reboots and rehashes.
