yee I only got it last year to watch The X-Files, wouldnt spend a dime on anything else they try to label as "Star Wars" maybe besides 2 seasons of The Mandalorian
Yeah, Disney Plus QUALITY gone down a lot. A few years ago it was a nobrainer, you had quite a number of good series. And hope for more. But the years moved on and prices went up, quality went down. Shame really. In the end you HOPE that they can pull out of that deadspin and get some GOOD stuff again.
"A gigantic success like HotD" it's Star Wars! Never did I think Star Wars would be the underdog to any other series. They really have just killed this franchise
I watched the first four episodes, then I called Disney + and under protest. I cancelled my subscription services. I told them that I didn't want to pay for their Woke agenda.
Bro why were you paying for Disney+ this long. I feel like your trolling cause if you were a long time fan of this channel you would’ve canceled years ago
They keep saying the toxic fans are a small minority, but at the same time, say that if this small minority would have watched the show, it would have been enough people to get the show renewed.
"wtf is performing well these days btw" that line absolutely tickled me...like idk, maybe at the absolute BARE MINUMUM, recouping the costs for making the show? It ain't rocket science.
Impossible! Surely the "modern audience" tuned in in their millions and the cancellation was purely due to Disney giving in to us "toxic" fans. Right? Right?
the most hilarious part of this, Disney does not give us the Numbers for how many Disney Plus subs they lost while the acolyte ran. I dropped my sub after I saw episode 3. I then subbed to MAX so I could see House of the Dragon. bad timing on Disney's part to release a stinker when the competition had a winner.
The main problem is that someone gaslit and greenlit this thing within Disney and it made it's way to us, after the show made no sense they tried to gaslight the entire World into liking this show. It's their own fault, you can't force someone to like your art.
Yup. Leslye Headland and Amandla Steinberg begged fans to ask Disney for another Season, a month before the supposed news leaks to us. They already knew there won't be season 2 before we do.
Whats funny AF is that save the Acolyte petition. They're so excited about reaching 50k. But fail to realise there's something like 150m Disney+ subscribers. So just to hit 1% of that they need another 1.45million more signatures. Literally proving they're the smallest fanbase of Star Wars. No way Di$ney was going to fork out another 200mil for 0.33% percent of their subs.
It would literally be defrauding investors to renew a series with a MASSIVE budget and terrible ratings. They can probably blame the former CFO and cite incompetence in their assumptions for the first season, but couldn't make the same excuse for a second season.
It needs to be willowed! It deserves no less. Imo I sure hope Disney doesn’t cave to them because if they do it will destroy Star Wars for good. I’m still re watching the original Star Wars. Love it. So glad this was canceled!
What's funny about this is that these weirdoes only get their "news" about the show from the access media which, right up until it was canceled, kept parroting how great and popular and trendy the show was. And since they can't ever get out of their own echo chamber, news like this, which is not surprising to any of us, is a genuine shock to them because they were never told otherwise from the media outlets they followed.
One of the weirdest narratives that The Acolyte fans are running with is that the show is a slow burn or it had an uneven 1st season, that given the chance could rival shows like Breaking Bad or The Sopranos. The problem is neither of those shows cost $20 million an episode for 30 mins of runtime at less than 300 million minutes watched. And besides, crying that a Star Wars was up against a “mega hit” like HotD: that’s what Star Wars should be! It should be the mega hit! These people seem to think Star Wars is this little niche franchise, not realizing how badly it’s been damaged. And sadly I don’t think they care about how badly it has been damaged so long as they get their representation and shipper fuel.
I dipped after pirating episode 1 and that was just out of morbid curiosity. Happily forgot about the show after. Until the clip of what's-her-face's lightsaber kyber crystal decided to bleed on its own turning the classic Sith red. That clip has absolutely buried Disney SW, because Vader, yes Darth Vader nearly died forcing his kyber crystal to bleed. And this show just happily sh*ts on that fact(and many others from what I've seen), Star wars has been dead for years but I never imagined they would go so far to desecrate its corpse it's legitimately unbelievable.
2 months, and 23 days later. . . STILL, NO ONE WATCHED IT! Even me. I stopped watching after episode 2. Not only that, but I stopped watching FURTHER after watching reviews of later episode-- starting from episode 3.
KK's usual response is to "double-down" on the DEI, every time her ego gets hurt, by another failure, but this time something is different, she has to listen to Disney board members.
There was a hardcore fan base...The TH-cam content makers! They watched it...and then burned it down to the ground!...Because it's awfully bad. Keep it up, Kathleen! You're doing fine.
I'm going to make a football analogy. Star Wars used to be the 2001 Miami Hurricanes (Arguably the best team in College Football History), and now it's the 1922 Arkansas State Red Wolves (Arguably the worst team in College Football History)
Yea they don't quite understand that Disney already knows how many people watched all the episodes and the odds of gaining more for a 2nd season are somewhere between slim and none...and slim just left. A petition only shows them that even a smaller number of fans are loyal enough to sign and confirms their decision.
The cope is strong in these people. Obviously Disney expects to top the charts with everything they do, if they don't something is very wrong and should be stopped.
Did they really expect something slapped with the Star Wars brand to be an instant gigantic success? Yes. Yes, they did. That is a perfectly reasonable expectation to have.

Comparing a Star Wars show to a GoT prequel spin-off. Before Disney it would be an absolutely retarded thing to do. Star Wars was one of THE biggest franchises ever. If Disney didn't destroy it, a Star Wars show could've easily crushed House of The Dragon viewership numbers several times over.
1:53 I’m still boggled at the cost and still wonder how so much was spent over so little. Popular money laundering theory aside, I’m open to it being something else. That’s when it occurred to me, I remember that one of the reasons why the Yahtzee regime fell was because it was buckling under it’s own bureaucratic weight; proper channels became logjams of additional offices (and expenses thereof). Basically, when things more or less came to “the department of departments department” it grew ripe for a fall. I think this could be carried over.
