Better yet, there is absolutely no reason to care because there's no gravity to revealing the villain. It's just a random nobody who was already hamfistedly shown to be a villain, now he's just two villains in one. And in both cases the question is "why should we worry about him?".
@@ThespianPrince13 I would've absolutely LOVED if Star Wars made a honest-to-goodness Sith show. Focusing on the Sith, the character's journey from how they came to become Sith to becoming powerful, and clashes with Jedi and other galaxy factions. Exploring how the villain faction actually works, how a Sith's mindset works, how they become powerful and why they might lose. Sadly, Disney Lucasfilm is basically the last people I would trust with such a project.
Episode 1: "I'm going to kill the Jedi" Episode 2: "I'm going to kill the Jedi" Episode 3: Flashback to show why she wants to kill the Jedi Episode 4: "Nah, I don't want to kill the Jedi" Episode 5: "I'm going to kill the Jedi" The writing on this show is beyond trash.
@@S4nsit is. It's called a lack of proof reading the material to make sure there is a flowing plot line. Almost like the writer scribbled this on the bathroom toilet paper and the producers said. Great! Go with it.
It was not a twist. it was called the moment that guy came on screen. Literally. The writing is so poor. I wonder how much she blackmailed someone by helping her boss with his sexcapades. In fact, why is she not in prison for aiding and abetting?
So glad that, as Amandala herself has said, the show was written around her. Why? She “acts” both parts exactly the same. It’s just Amandala saying lines as Amandala no matter which sister she’s supposed to be at the moment. She did more acting in her silly “diss-track” than she’s done in the entirety of this show. I’m not usually one to complain much about the actors, even in a bad show. It’s generally my opinion that, good or bad show, their just doing their job. But in this case I’m confounded. Why was this role written specifically for her? She doesn’t give either sister any nuance, any character, anything at all to distinguish them even subtly. I just don’t understand.
I try not to be a cancel person, but considering the disgusting, horrific crimes of Ms Leslye Headland, it's hard to imagine watching anything she was a part of.
@@americanhero1234 Seeing him in better lighting I later realized that. It just didn't work. Personally, I would have thrown in a splash of red so that it was easier to see, or at least grey.
I'm genuinely-surprised that the weird helmet-person didn't turn out to be one of the moms, who mysteriously, miraculously survived The Big Sleep, but like maybe her face & mind were all messed-up from the fire, like "House of Wax" (hence the need to keep the face covered.) Hell, as hackneyed & cliched as that sounds, at least it would've given a reason for the helmet-thing in the first place.
Just because episode 5 has some lightsabers then it becomes good. Then episode 6 will have all the starships fighting each other, then it will be classic. How about episode7 where the sith vs the jedi counsel then it will be the best. and finally episode 8, yoda appears for 1 secs, then it will be extra-ordinary and world will praise disney. People just get into nostalgia and forgets the movie is so bad just because of lightsabers fighting?
I was in the minority and actually thought the series wasn't all that bad, but episode 5 changed all that. I had been aching to see some actual lightsaber duels, but when they came they went for quantity over quality, and the reveal in this episode was honestly groan inducing. I really hoped they were going to do something other than the patently obvious with the reveal of the red light saber dude, but no, it was the dude who EVERYONE knew it was going to be AND he was a Sith, which I also thought was boring. Do all force users need to be Sith or Jedi ffs? Now the only real reveal left is that the Jedi killed the witches, which has been constantly hinted at, but I had been hoping was deliberate to throw us off. But I feel that I've been giving this show to much credit all along. It's just not clever enough to deliver a genuine twist.
Ok, I will just say Manny Jacinto is now my second favorite character, and it makes me sad that Lee Jung-jae and him didn't have anything better to work with.
If only Jeckie had listened to Master Ginger's training in episode 4 she might have survived episode 5. Was that foreshadowing? On the plus side Jecki and Yord are dead so two less characters not to develop next episode.
This “sith” is suppose to be menacing? Looks like a trouble teen of today. What do I know. As a 51 yr old white Gen-X male, this show wasn’t made for me, so I’m not watching.
Im actually shocked that discount kylo... zipper mouth.... is not a legoheadland self insert. The blaming of one... The blaming of two... The blaming of maaannnyyy... Credit goes to Duececoup... awesome post.
Mae puts some chalk on her face and sticks on some twigs and pretends she is Jecki come back to like. Yeah it defies logic that Sol wouldn't know the girl he raised. The Parent Trap worked because of the connection between the twins which could convince the parents. That connection isn't here.
were they out of money so they went to get a gimp mask for the evil character the only thing missing was the red ball and a dominatrix in the shadows waiting for him to return to the rack? headland signed with a company called CAA because of here critical success with the acolyte that is what they said.Canadian Auto Association that is what I thought being Canadian would have cancelled my subscription immediately. jokes apart what a royal waste of money they would need this money to save their asses in 2025 universal will wipe the floor with them park-wise and movie wise .who wrote this series a bunch of drunk and drug-addled frat boys and girls and they used the same characters to act in this series
I like it! Theres so much to reveal, is Qimir, Venemous? Were the clocked figures at the witch ceremony Tenebrous and Qimir/Venemous(makes poison). They just disappeared when the Jedi arrived! I think it builds to the Phantom Menace. The only cringy parts is the Osha/Mea character dialog
I appreciate you doing these because I haven't even watched the trailer for the show I'm so disheartened by it. Glad you can suffer for me and I can watch you're much better written show about their bad show 🙌🏻
WCB - "brutally stupid". YES. Totally. Darth Gimpy's helmet can apparently bounce sabers off it. Is it beskar? Is it electric? Is it magic? Who knows!? Magic helmet apparently turns light sabers into long glo-stick tubes, not contained lengths of plasma. So they shatter. They shatter now? They shatter now!
Okay, i actually went purchase stealing solo. 28 bux, that's not bad. 77 bux after shipping. Nope, but I did try, I guess Canada is that crazy foreign land where no one will brave but UPS and Santa. I love your content but your choice of shipping puts your merch out of my reach. Keep up the fight. Barbie Wars sucks.
Darth Dipstick says he won't remove his helmet because he doesn't want his mind read... but Yord said that (with the helmet on) he gets in your head and stays there. So Darth Dipstick has discovered one way force blocking helmet material that ALSO stops light sabers and in some cases shorts them out for... time... but can be easily broken by hitting it with the butt of a lightsaber. STOPS LIGHTSABERS, but falls apart when a 13 year old girl bashes it with what is essentially a stick. Jeeeez this show is stupid.
Knockoff Kylo Ren helmet with Venom eyes and teeth. The Sith used to be scary, Classic Darth Vader was scary, Hayden Christiansen Darth Vader isn't remotely scary.
The Acolyte sucks. It’s been boring. I admittedly enjoyed Episode 5. My comment to someone after the episode? “This show has nowhere to go; it just blew its load.”
Idiot Jedi: " I have my light-saber on his neck!" Idiot wanna be Jedi:" NO! let me do it in a James Bond way that would give him a chance to get away!" Idiot Jedi:" oo-kay.." lol
Forget foreshadowing or plot clues or the fact that Smilo Ren just happened to be on the same planet as Discount Asian Ezra Miller ... Everyone should have known that there is no way Disney would allow a woman to be the bad guy.
Your review is pretty spot on. The dialog is bad. The lightsaber fight was decent. A change of pace, but it just doesn't make up for the god awful bad plot and forced dialog.
Right from the jump, the question wasn’t if Discount Miller was a sith, but rather or not Disney was smart enough to throw a curveball like him being the real acolyte over Mae and have her incompetence be intentional, or if they just, went with the blatantly telegraphed from jump option.
I think you guys are forgetting not all sith are imposing. One of the strongest sith, Sidious, was not imposing at all which is why he was named as such. Sidious, as insidious. Subtle, unknowingly, meek but will cause great harm gradually in the shadows. That was why he isnt imposing. show still sucks but not all sith are imposing.
I made the mistake of believing the marketing, giving the show the benefit of the doubt and giving the show a fair chance. Done, if I keep on any longer I'm gonna just end up hate watching.
Thank you for noticing the bad bad bad pacing and editing of the fight.....waving light tubes dont make a scene good...and the bad writing, the bad convulated again missmatch of the sisters for late "surprised", incoherent acting of characters, and on and on and on as bad as the other episodes
I liked the sabers shorting out and some of the figh sword play but overall this is a horrible story and infeel bad for the normal people that had to work on it.
That’s not the big twist. Guys I get it when we call out bad crap but sometimes the fan base can get carried away. They dropped hints throughout the entire episode what the big twist WILL be.
Especially because Mae has a tattoo on her forehead, you know the hair she cut off, to reveal it...what a stupid show, nice to see Anakin destroyed the death star gone! What a useless character and insufferable actor to boot .
The biggest plot twist is that there are still people watching after episode 4.
Watching is a strong word. It's more spectating. Like the ancient arenas.
Chuckles 😂
Why do all the "modern" sith's wear helmets other than for plot convenience. They were part of life-support suits in old lore.
For to show off the sith ability ...force head butt lightsaber block.
Hard to hide your identity if you need a life support suit lol
For psychology warfare. Back in legends, sith used these masks/helmets out of inspiration from Samurai and their menpo masks. It is to strike fear and to add some protection, not just for life support
Darth Nox has a sith mask made by his sith ancestors. It uses sith alchemy with it to block force abilities from jedi and other sith and to add protection from saber attacks.
@@Feverdream7777helmet is made from cortosis. That is why it short circuts sabers. You see this in the Darth Bane novels.
c.5000 BBY Sith military wore helmets.
It's "The Parent Trap". Separated twins meet up and change their hair to swap lives so it can fix their family.
Yeah only the family is dead according to the show at least.
What Leslye wanted: Frozen meets Kill Bill
What we got: Parent Trap meets Disney Willow
That "hair cut" scene stinks. LITERALLY. Ever smell BURNT HIAR?? OMG, these writers.......👎
When you buy your helmet prop from Wish.

Discount Ezra Miller was the Sith all along? Lol.
I, for one, am shocked. Shocked, I say!
The clue was when he choked out that pregnant Jedi.......
You’re really calling him that? This actor is way better than miller lol

He should’ve been the main character. Scrap the twins. The witches, and give this man his own Sith show.

No way he is the big bad. Its either the chick with horns or Sol.
