I think one of the difference right now is the acting. I like Morrison is a very good actor, but for some reason he feels a bit flat in this. Pascal on the other hand is that rare actor that can portray a lot of things in a helmet, he's brilliant at it.
The other issue to me at least has been the pacing. The Mandalorian always seems to move at breakneck speed. With Boba Fett, for some reason to me the pacing seems to be slow and deliberate, Boba feels more like a man of talking instead of a man of action. But even the long minutes of him riding on the Bantha or staring gloomily at people or out the window on Slave One slows things down a lot.
One thing that I really chuckled about is that Mando's armor is really Mandalorian Beskar armor. In that fight yesterday he was willing to just soak up damage to get hits because he's like a tank, except when he cut himself with the Dark Saber because he doesn't understand the weapon.
With Boba lets be honest by design his armor isn't really Mandalorian armor, he's not a tank in it, which means he should be fighting smarter in it.
Big shoutout by the way that we finally saw a long first person visor shot last night.
