The Child is just being a child, when hungry it tries to eat just about anything. I had to stop my 1 year old from eating a live spider the other day. I think people a reading to much into it.
As far as I am concerned tv shows like the Mandalorian are our contemporary mythology, our fables. They have the power to influence our values whether we realize it or not. This applies to comic books, movies, and computer games as well.
I am fairly sure depending on how the tale is told some folks have taken their cues from Odin, Thor and Loki. And those characters have been reinvented time and time again to suit different agendas, ie Marvel.
Look I am not trying to say they should not have morally ambiguous characters, that the show should not be gritty or anything like that. I am saying have a purpose behind doing that. That is what makes a show a great classic rather than mediocre “junk food” entertainment. Tolkien or Howard versus say Norman (Gor).
I think the most entertaining part of this season so far is, knowing the behind the scenes drama with Pedro Pascal, watching literally every other Mandalorian character and stunt-casted actor taking their helmet off at every opportunity.
