Is the Mando helmet holding Pedro Pascal Back?

The Mandalorian and his adopted foundling Grogu (NOT BABY YODA!) has captured the hearts of everyone across the world. The Star Wars spin off tell the story of space bounty hunter Din Djarin who’s commissioned to deliver his “bounty” aka adopted son from where he’s found to.. well they’ve kinda got to figure it out.

Three seasons in The Mandalorian is one o the most popular shows on cable TV. But there’s been a recent development within the fandom about Pedro Pascal’s screen time or at least for his face.

Pedro is known for being able to deliver a vast scope of emotions through his face, and while he’s been doing a great job portraying emotions while wearing the helmet of his beskar’gam lots of fans are sharing their thoughts on his skills being restricted because of his armor.

Now before we get dissecting, you must know the rule of the land; no Mandalorian is allowed to show their face to anyone with no exception, if one breaks the rule they could be exiled from Mandalore.  

The dude plays Mando but has had approximately 2 mins of face - screentime across the 3 seasons. The first was when he was handed over Grogu the other being when he changed into a Stromtropper uniform (so technically it wasn’t even his helmet) at the last being at the end of season 2 when he was saying his heartbreaking goodbye to the child.

Season 3 see Din sharing the screen with confident, sardonic & deadly Bo-Katan Kryze. And while faithful fans of the show still have their eyes on Din & The Child, some have their eyes diverting towards Bo who takes her helmet off often which allows Katee Sachoff who plays her to show emotions more freely. Constantly wearing his helmet holds back Din Djarin and Pascal alike. Despite his talent, Pascal has less to work with because he's essentially the only voice actor in a live-action show. A fan online had this to say: He may be credited as Din Djarin, but it's only half a performance. The result is Pascal's abilities being wasted in his own show, and that's just unfair.
