Hey the grunts in halo are actually dangerous when given good weapons and enough courage or when led by an elite. Heck the covenant actually struggled against them during the grunt rebellion within the lore.
@@gabrieltejada1697 That's quite true, so I wouldn't underestimate Grunts...well, mostly, they're still weak in general. Also, I definitely wouldn't compare Stormtroopers from Rogue One to Dark Souls NPC enemies, they weren't THAT deadly. They were just decent, to a degree. Obviously helped though that they had armored support, though not the most optimal kind, and outnumbered the Rebels, but a lot of them still died, ignoring the Death Star killing off most of the rest of course.
@@gabrieltejada1697 something people also tend to not realize, Grunts are about 5 foot 6 on average, and could easily kill the average person (hell, there was a grunt in the books that would casually outbox the elites on his ship). Bonus factoid about perspective, flood infection forms are about 3 feet tall...
this poor trooper he just want to fellow his troopers to eat but looks like he got hit in his shoulder so its not that much pian and... *he still alive*
The orange pauldron can represent stormtrooper marines, commanders/officers, feild stormtroopers, etc. Red tends to be the stormtrooper captain though the rocket launtcher trooper, stormsurgeon (medic) and repeater equipped feild stormtrooper are also represented by red... they need to introduce different shades of these colours
I honestly preferred if Stormtroopers were presented in a more dignifying manner than just being used as dumb meat sacks falling left and right for the sake of any main character's Plot Armor. There are comics (both in Legends and Disney Canon) and fan films showing Stormtroopers as the true badasses they are meant to be in the Star Wars universe.
@DEEPFOXJUDE no, these come from Moff Gideon's regiment. I believe they are still trained regularly and still have access to top notch equipment and training facilities. There are not those poor, weary guys at Nevarro with rusty and unkempt Stormtrooper armor.
At the first episodes of the series, they were only a few, rusted old stormtroopers, which made it seem unique. And the Mandalorian killed him them in kind of grizzly ways. But then it turned into the same thing of having armies of them being killed by gun fire like normal.
Pretty much. Season 1 did a pretty good job of having stormtroopers few in number, so it didn't feel ridiculous for Mando to beat them (except maybe in the finale, but at least you had the IG-11 surprise attack). But Season 2 just ignores that and has everyone effortlessly win, which doesn't feel that badass when you have massive numbers of them fall like bowling pins to every person. So scenes where Boba kicks ass aren't that awesome because even regular characters don't have any trouble.
Thank you, I was mad at the ending of season 1. I'm not a kid anymore, I just can't ignore this sillyness. I thought mandalorian was a more serious approach to the universe, but it went to the same "childish light-hearted star wars series" route
@@matthewcaughey8898 so you would expect these stormtroopers to be experienced veterans who fully believe in the Empire... they should be of higher quality
@@brickmatt6776 I suspect stormtroopers of that quality started to bail on the empire for fear of what could happen to then via the local population they were oppressing. Not to mention the many hardened veterans left behind garrisoning dirt balls and backwards planets who probably dumped their uniforms and armor when transport craft failed to arrive to pull them off planet. And how many millions were killed by operation cinder?
Is that not in character for Death Watch to do? I know they aren’t part of that anymore, being the Nite Owls, but it doesn’t seem like the craziest decision for one of them.
Considering most of these Storm Troopers were shot In the torso area, most of them probably survived. If you do your research on their armor, It actually does protect them, the only downside Is that most of the time the shock from the blaster bolt knocks them out. If they die from being shot, It's usually because their armor shatters to pieces and causes Internal bleeding. So, main cause of death for Storm Troopers? Internal bleeding from the bits and pieces of their shattered armor.
So you're telling me If i successfully want to kill a stormtrooper i should throw a Rock at them breaking their Armor rather than Shooting them? Dang the Ewoks knew what they were doing.
I say if we don't see any visible blaster burn mark or hole in their armor, they're alive but injured. If you look most of the time in the footage there is no blast marks or holes, so the armor works rather well. They just might die later of exposure and not getting and medical treatment since they're mostly left there.
@@spongeboi.offical3901 actually, to be fair, in eu Ewoks killed some powerful monster, so some trooper mean nothing to uwu bears. Ewoks underrated as hell, they even stronger than wookie i think
@@DigiPen92 Yes death is a common occurrence in war however, it would appear my comment went over your head. Im talking about how Storm troopers are supposed to be elite infantry yet are more often depicted as useless imbeciles, especially when pitted against main characters or generic good guys.
Laser Bait Stormtroopers are technically Humans, not Clones of Jango Fett during at the Original Trilogy era. If the Stormtroopers are part of Jango's Clones that would have made them tougher than regular humans if the Empire didn't stop the Cloning. Besides that, some of the Stormtroopers did killed some of main characters of Rogue One Squad in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.
@@DigiPen92 Just because Storm troopers aren't Jango Fett clones, doesn't mean they cant be effective and deadly soldiers. Storm troopers were the elite of the empires military and were feared throughout the galaxy with even Obi-wan remarking how accurate they were. Yeah the empire got some kills in Rogue One but other than that, Storm troopers are regarded as comically useless soldiers by the majority of fans
@@DigiPen92 the imperial army has uniforms that are completely different than stormtroopers and are also far less skilled than them but yet it’s the stormtroopers that are made to look incompetent instead because they’re the only ones that get actual screen time.
When you know what the armor does in lore, more than half of these stormtroopers are actually still alive. Just brutally beat up and most likely injured.
However they might die from such injuries without medical attention, because most of them were left there to rot or the place they were downed blew up. In a battle senario the Empire could recover the injured troopers after the battle and give them medical attention and fix em up. But here I do think the vast majority weren't killed by getting shot, however they were still left behind and likely died hours later. Sadly.
As much I enjoy the nostalgia, sometimes it feels like an AC game where they wait their turn and attack one at the time, the plot armor is just too thick on some characters.
considering the fact that there are hundreds of thousands of stormtroopers and we see here like 200 dying the rate of deads during worktime are not that high
It’s not. Every named character in that movie goes through an entire legion’s worth of stormtrooper. The disney trend of treating live-action OG stormtroopers like ragdolls whose sole narrative purpose is to get brutally styled on by the protagonists started with Rogue one.
@@nihluxler1890that’s outright wrong bodi, jyn and cassian did not you’re just reaching because you hate Disney Star Wars which is understandable however rogue one did make stormtroopers am actual threat like in the OT ignoring ROTJ
The armor is decent and made to resist any low power fre bad thing is its fairly easy to get high powered weapons. Their vizors were too small and they always forget about the thermal detonator on the lower back of their armor.
From what I know, stormtrooper armor is good, just that strong blasts can go through it, but Disney insists on making stormtroopers be terrible in every way, like stormtroopers can see through there helmets, have good guns, can aim well, its just Disney being stupid
@@soyboycucksenior5725 This is true. People don't pay attention to the fact that even on Endor, the stormtroopers almost won while being surprised and outnumbered, and only lost due to Chewie taking over an AT-ST. But all these idiots ever see is "HURR DURR BEATEN BY TEDDY BEARS" and ignore how well stormtroopers fought in every example during the films.
@@soyboycucksenior5725 A lot of these kills aren't kills, they're just debilitating. That's the difference the armor makes in canon. It's *mostly* meant to protect against fragments, long range shots (which have lost most of their energy), and environmental conditions. Kinda like the armor soldiers wear IRL.
At this point in time I have well and truly excepted the fact that Stormtroopers exist only to be Canon Fodder. And they do it so well. It's like their breed for it.
@@jokelethkurueisner9229 yeah instead of great and near endless military infantry might they spend all that money on 3 moon sized mega weapons that all last one movie and don’t do much.
"I wanted to pay off my college tuition, not step on landmines and die or get shot to death in the middle of nowhere then get sent back to my mother in a box!"
The fact that stormtroopers in this show were just used as cannon fodder really agitates me a lot. Disney expects their characters to come out looking like badasses by killing a bunch of stormtroopers (who are stupid because Disney took one scene in the original movie too far) without any stakes or risks to the characters because you gave Mando invincible armor and all the others just have way too much plot armor. You see Mando take a ton of hits, but wait! He’s got beskar and the other characters just stand there but all the shots miss. And yes, I know the show would be boring if everyone was dead, but I at least want to see some of the other characters get hurt or close to an actual situation where they just can’t blast their way through. So please, give the stormtroopers the props they deserve, and let us see how lethal and dangerous they actually are.
Just a couple of scenes with secondary characters having to be carried out because they got hit or maybe having to be in a Bacta tank for an episode with worried medical staff around would help. At this moment there is no tension no matter how many differently painted Stormtroopers they create.
The beskar thing isn’t even really Disney, beskar has always been that super strong impervious armor, and it made sense on how he acquired it. The stormtroopers in a post imperial galaxy are expected to be worse, we rarely see them with actual commanding officers, implying they are really either mercenaries or stormtroopers who don’t know how to do anything else. I mean, they wouldn’t even really know how to fight mandalorians because they haven’t existed as a threat for years. I mean, Mandalorians have been seen as unstoppable killing machines by fans and legends lore, so why is it when Disney does it, fans have a problem?
@@LordVader1094 its not just filoni mate, return of the jedi had them being just as useless as here, if not more, with them being shit on by teddy bears, tho I have to admit, the stormtroopers being killed en masse so many times in this series is kind of annoying
@@saber2802 what you talking about? The stormtroopers were at thier peak of menacing in empire. Wasn't until 6 when they changed the wookies into ewoks that the stormies started down the road of becoming idiots. They really only became fully bumbling idiots when Disney acquired starwars. With rebels This bumbling idiot syndrome the stormies have is something almost all the badguys suffer from nowadays. Its sad honestly
@@chromicm6686 Of course a brainwashed imp would think that. I wonder what would happen if your home planet suddenly disappeared, or would you even care?
it's ridiculous how stormtroopers are portrayed in star wars movies. I mean this “incompetent“ soldiers managed to bring entire systems under their control. They were the backbone of the empire which was quite successful. They are pretty underrated
I think the directors want to make the protagonists look badass or something, which stinks, because by trivializing the stormtroopers their victories just feel hollow, unearned, and meaningless
Do yall _really_ expect washed up stormtroopers without proper command are going to put up a strong fight against mandalorians? Their portrayal during the GCW was bad yeah, but these guys aren’t as skilled, their armor and weapons worse, and most the time they don’t even have an actual commander, it’s just grunts sticking together because it’s all they know
the stormtroopers in episode 3 were incredible, they really looked and acted like husks of people whose purpose in life died with the empire. All they had left was serving the client and looking for people to kill.
The rusted ones looked badass, unlike the excuse everyone uses for Remnant troopers being thugs or randos being recruited, one would expect Battle-Hardened Veterans, or Fanatics, or both to fill the ranks of the fractured Empire, and the dirty and rusted troops really sell that feeling and look.
@@taxult Yeah that's what I was saying lol. It'd make sense for the only guys left to be loyal battle hardened warriors and not some soviet-esque conscripts. What reason would a conscript or average joe off the street have to stay with a dying Empire?
having main characters wipe out stormtroopers like that won’t make me think they are badass. Instead, they are like a bunch of casuals playing on very easy mode….
Several times the stormtroopers are just running out of cover at the enemy, or just standing there waiting to get shot, without shooting back. Were they portrayed as an actual threat, I might have more investment.
@@bloq6758 the fans did by never shutting up with those overused memes and jokes on stormtroopers, Disney just went along with it to gain more fans for business.
@@ewicool1377 actually, there are tons of comic books and fan films showing Stormtroopers as a capable, efficient fighting force. These ones are my favorite: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-t6GUxb0kCCA.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8IvGpStmbOM.html
@@JoeMama-jd2ns He doesn’t have to die, he just needs to actually get injured when he is in a fight with a squad of stormtroopers. They gotta make stormtroopers more true to what they are supposed to be, and make the badass.
@@JoeMama-jd2ns Being a threat doesn't mean remove the plot armor, our main characters obviously need to survive, it just needs to not be in a stupid way
What threat were Stormtroopers really? The only reason the Empire lasted as long as it did was due to funds, resources, better technology, and numbers. Otherwise their training was mediocre and anyone with bare minimum combat experience could curb stomp a Stormtrooper. In all honesty at the rate they are dying this seems fairly accurate. Not to mention Mandalorians were trained on warfare and to fight against large numbers. So throw in their skills weapons and experience, these imps never stood a chance
@@christiancastaneda9624 They sent the Rebels and our main characters running, literally the first scene we see them they're mowing down dozens of rebels on Tantive whilst losing minimal casualties, crushed the Rebellion at Hoth and Rogue One shows them as competent.
@DEEPFOXJUDE The quality of the armor was reduced with the Fall of the Empire. When the Stormtrooper isn't hit in the head or injured in a fatal way, he probably passed out.
This has a higher death count than Rambo movies. Star wars, family entertainment made by Disney. In 'A new hope', Stormtroopers seemed cool and a part of the Star wars universe. But now, it's like dead person underneath a white armor.
@@ghjpkshdgtjdgvbzm Yeah they always were, you're just too young to appreciate the original trilogy and expanded universe. Judging by the vids on your channel you're about 12 years old if not younger.
@@xXSgtWolfXx God I hate this argument. First of all, check the date those videos were posted. Second, I can still appreciate Star Wars without having to have experienced everything at release, that’s such an ignorant mentality to have. The only time stormtroopers were even remotely intimidating is ESB. Stormtroopers were always depicted as not very bright, especially in ANH. There’s literally a scene where one accidentally bumps his head on the door, lol. Stormtroopers are only intimidating when they’re not beaten to death with plot armor, hence Rogue One being the best example.
@@xXSgtWolfXx Ah yes, the original trilogy. Where these super scary elite soldiers got their asses reamed by a bunch of teddy bears with sticks and booby-traps that make punji pits and claymores look sci-fi. But I'm sure that's excusible because they were new recruits, or were supposed to lose, or some other dumbass EU excuse, right? Lmao
Thank you for purchasing STORM TROOPER™ armour. Your armour protects against: Laser blasts: No Fire: No Explosions: No Electricity: No Lightsabers: No Punches? *Absolutely not*
I love the mandalorian, every guest star, cgi scenes and also the lore but one I find disappointing is that they drenched mando in plot armour and made villains incompetent. They made beaker too powerful and it made no sense. The point of a antagonist is to pose a severe threat against a protagonist. They cross the line for me when they made death troopers weak
The dark troopers weren’t weak though. One was literally throwing Mando around like a ragdoll. It was only when they went up against a Jedi that they got their asses handed to them.
In episode 1 some Stormtroopers say "we have you four to one" and this actually carries meaning as it shows that numbers can match these characters plot armour, making these guys seem capable. WELL THAT SURE LASTED DIDN'T IT!?!
Stormtroopers: _the primary force used by the empire to oppress the entire galaxy_ Star Wars fan: “ok but I feel bad for them!!” Stormtroopers will shoot a begging civilian without hesitation, only fair you give them the same treatment
When you realize stormtroopers are all real people who have been brainwashed into believing serving the empire is a good thing and they aren't actually evil
Idk, stormtroopers have been shown to be pretty evil. They are brainwashed into believing the empire is good, but they look at the countless slave rings, murder of billions and say “yeah, I wanna help continue that”
The worst part is, The Mandalorian literally had the perfect chance to make Troopers seem threatening again. After all, Mando's armour protects him, but having the Troopers hit him over, and over and over again, with constant Head and Torso shots would've been great, showing the brutal efficiency that only failed due to the rare Beskar he wears. Instead we got the classic bumbling fools, including those two bloody scout troopers, who couldn't hit a fuckin rock.
I shall list potential survivors: 0:20 *shoulder shot was absorbed* 0:35 *scout trooper might have a broken arm, at least not a broken skull* 0:44 *trooper is hit in the lower chest, but has no direct blast injury only a slight bruise on the armor, thus my assumption is that his armor protected him* 0:54 *second trooper is hit on the leg* 1:11 *again, shoulder shot, non fatal* 2:29 *was knocked out* 2:53 *third shoulder shot* 3:04 *bonk* 3:14 and 3:16 *again a shoulder shot* 3:17 *I....he could be alive, but he's not gonna feel good once he wakes up* 3:29 *leg shot* 3:55 *two shoulder shots in a row* 4:01 *shoulder shot....again* 4:04 *smack*
Stormtroopers do have armor, not as good as clone armor, but good enough, so they are probs alive, also they go through brutal training so they are probs ok
Gotta love how modern media makes it a shame that our heroes’ antagonists dying is a shame. Older heroes like Rambo would’ve slaughtered these filth without making a dilemma about it. Nowadays we cry about scum being killed. What a time to live in.
@@howdoichangemyusername9802 Aint really realistic for someone to just kill someone and not feel anything at all.. that's just your generic action movie
@@howdoichangemyusername9802 You have to remember, sometimes murderers have just been through alot aswell, Hell, not all of them are just cold blooded inhumane scum who'll happily live with their decision of taking someone's life, there ARE murderers who will regret their decision for life
Bruh, since the Stormtrooper's first appearance on A New Hope where they just effortlessly slaughtered a ship full of Rebel defenders they've been nerfed to the ground. Bring back the actually well-trained stormtroopers and not civilians cosplaying as one!
They hit Leia in the arm on endor, and killed rebels in the battle of hoth, in the death star Luke even directly explains why they didn't shoot them because they had orders not to so they can lead rhe empire to the rebel bases
@@apomtaylor8054 Star wars is star wars, due to the actions of the sith leadership of the Empire, all dudes who follow them bcuz the fact they ARE the galactic government of the time, will die, thats star wars stormtroopers in a nutshell
They seem so damn human here that it kind of feels strange watching them die, they even look around at their allies dying around them instead of being focused on eliminating the target like a killing machine
@@LucyWest370 To be fair, these Stormtroopers are going against Mandalorians, widely considered to be the best warriors in the galaxy. Do you really think they had much of a chance? While yes, they did take down Mandalore, this was due to them having plenty of numbers, which is what Mandalorians don't have, and even the strongest warriors can eventually be overwhelmed, as it has happened more than once in Mandalorian history.
@@Jedi-ge6lr have you seen the battle of endor? The stormtroopers manage to even shoot Leia and r2, not to mention but they also almost won if it weren’t for the ewols
0:57 just realized the stormtroopers helmet comes up after getting shot and you could see the actors face for a split second. ( I went and rewatched it in .25 speed to confirm)
I'm fairly sure that it is the roar of an animal, but I don't know enough in that subject to know what animal it comes from. However, a lot of movies use tiger or lion roars for aggressive or weaponized flames because of the phrase "roar of fire" or something like that. Like most things in movies it really exaggerates and sells that the flame is dangerous.
It never clicked how insane assassin droids where until seeing one fighting in live action. Imagine the fear someone feels seeing one arrive while having a bounty on their head.
This is something that annoys me. Why can’t the empire be a legitimate threat in these movies. They are supposed to be the villain, they should be a threat
It’s really sad (from an in universe perspective). It really shows how far the empire has fallen! The stormtroopers use to be the best of the Empire, now their just target practice.
Rest in peace my fellow troopers♥️ This video is just sad. I would've liked to see some of the plot armor taken from the heroes. As much as I like The Mandalorian, the way they handled the Stormtroopers is just disrespectful. I hope we see some more epic Stormtrooper action in the Andor series, but I highly doubt it. I think the producers will continue to make fun of the Stormtroopers, which is a big waste of potential, cause Stormtroopers look so damn cool.
I agree, it just looks dumb now how much plot armor the main characters get. And how easy they're able to tear through 10 or more troopers without any casualties or any difficulties in like 3 seconds! The disrespect Disney's putting on stormtroopers now!
I know right? If you think to Stormtroopers you should think to a deadly soldier. But no. You just imagine a StormTrooper die with the laughing track from sitcoms
