"The latter half of this show is adamantly trying to convince you that there has always been this dark, sinister side to Osha, but the objective truth is we have never seen her do anything but be a little angel of ethics and morality." Replace "Osha" with "Rey" and the sentence is still true.
I'm pretty sure that these assholes though that because she's the granddaughter of Palpatine, her "evilness" would be inherit too. So that's why they never showed us Rey being evil or in conflict, they only told us that she has a dark side too because her grandpa. It seems that these writers have forgotten one of the rules most important in cinema: show not tell.
@monicaaboites5053 they're not even THAT competent. Rian Johnson did not believe Rey was a Palpatine, but still had a bunch of lines about Rey being pulled to the Dark. It's painfully stupid writing.
Imagine having one of the most expensive shows in recent time bomb into oblivion, and then blame the people who didn't like it for its cancellation and not the billion dollar company. SMH Disney SW fans.
Honestly, I cannot imagine any universe in which The Acolyte would have been an effective entry point for me into the Star Wars franchise. It's just bad. The only thing that really kept me going through to the end was the sunk cost I already have invested in the universe and legacy characters. But coming to it as a newbie I doubt I would have stuck around after episode 2 at most. I have to wonder at this stage if they are actually repelling potential new fans. It does not even have much if any of the fun factor that might appeal to younger children, to get them hooked early and hope they do not leave as their tastes mature. It's definitely trying to be more of a grown up offering.
It reminds me of that old Disney show Liv and Maddie which also had the same actress playing twins, even they at least bothered to do that. They even added glasses to one twin to make them look even more different. To think that a decade old show like that would put more thought into differentiating their two lead characters than this is insane.
@@ZonaiHero-ul5nmthey also paid two child actors to play the sisters, which is cheaper than paying 1 actress to play 2 roles. No clue where the money went with all these cut costs everywhere. Edit: I’m assuming child labor is cheap compared to full price actors.
Considering that photo of her in a see through dress with her tits out, would it be a surprise if it turned out Amandala was no strange to selling herself Weinstein style?
@@1r0zz Spoiler below: No, not really. Simon Manus is definitely the largest threat. Geppetto just want to take your puppet heart to resurrect his dead son. There is some indication that he caused the puppet frenzy, but evidence is conflicted; if he did, then the game never confronts him about it and gives him a hero's sacrifice death. If it's just a red herring, the game doesn't bother to resolve it and just leaves it in the air.
@@Alicorn_ Ok, it is in my game list, but I still haven got around to play it. I like convoluted lore, so your info made me want to play it sooner, thanks :)
All the guys reviewing the show: "I have to stick to the material so I can't be taken down by a bunch of false accusations." Nutsa: "Leslie, it's personal."
"choosing to depict first ever openly queer matriarchal group of women as a witchery performing cult with highly questionable and alarming rituals incorporating children... is a choice" so good. I was laughing out lout. I needed this; it fleshed out the main problems with this show that irked me so much. Thanks :)
I think that’s a perfect sentence for describing the ivory tower left that’s formed in many groups in the US. So many rich white women stomping on minorities because it makes them feel superior to the right
Remember when we called Hayden Christensen's acting wooden? I swear that Disney ignored the prequels in hope its mistake won't be repeated just to not learn from it and in the end they do the same mistakes but worst. (Which is the like as the New Republic in the new canon doing the opposite of the Empire just to not learn from the pre-Clone Wars Republic)
That's the cost of poor writing that doesn't seek to build upon or reevaluate what came before, just tear it down in contempt to make something new. In theory, this show could have worked, as there are stories in the Pre-Disney Legends Continuity that analyzed the exact same types of themes or premises while also expanding on lore in interesting ways, like Knights Of The Old Republic (which has comics that feature Jedi killing their Padawans in response to visions of them becoming corrupted, like the conspiracy involving the Brendok Coven being killed in confrontation with the Jedi), but this comes off as lazy and tone-deaf in its approach to its messages and story structure.
nope i dont remember feeling that way about anakin the media and some movie critics and a few crybaby fans thought that then others followed because most people are sheep i have loved every bit of star wars done by george since they came out and to this day
That scene with the naked Guy is disturbingly similar with the story of one of Epstein's victims. I read It on an article ages Ago when this scandal came to light, so i don't remmember the details Very well. But basically he got her alone in his hotel Room and made her watch him shower.
The problem I have is when it's ham-fisted and not played as a cautionary tale. I almost liked Black Widow's take on similar themes. This show treats genuine selfish evil people as fine. So anything that was supposed to hit me hard did it in the wrong way. I'm a woman that has been deeply abused by multiple women, so I feel like treating women and men like different species that are completely different fundamentally is so dehumanizing to everyone. But I'm convinced since they underpaid the women actors, especially the minorities, it's very intentional to get us to hate each other instead of tell a compelling, powerful story.
This video is hilarious, entertaining, and really well done! Nutsa explained in a nutshell why this show is terrible: "We're dealing with idiots here who write what they know -- which is idiots." (11:12) I laughed out loud when she said that! The background music and the animation are splendid, as well!
230 Million Dollars is the final designated budget for this show… I think it’s safe to say that most of that money went to Leslie Headland and Amandala Steinbergs therapy sessions.
I like that you compare Sol and Qui gon in detail. Another thing that makes Qui gons direction better than Sol's is that Qui gon is more calm friendly, hands off, and doesn't convince Anakin to be a Jedi. Qui gon tells him he has potential, but also tells him what he will have to sacrifice and struggle with. While Sol is portrayed as trying to get Occupational Safety and Health Administration more interested in the Jedi life and acting very amazed and fixated on her. Speaking of kids, I don't mind children in movies/games acting like kids, bcoz what we feel is annoying *is* only annoying bcoz they're a character we need to care about. We star wars fans are spoiled by the Anakins and Katas in our media, who are shockingly calm, friendly, and/or talented for a child their age. In something like Detroit: Become Human (game) where the girl is basically a damsel getting dragged around by her guardian doing nothing is likely the most real depiction of a child in any circumstance. While Kata (Jedi Survivor) is shockingly collected and friendly, and takes loss very well compared to a normal child. Or Cal (Jedi Fallen Order) is very wise for a 17/18 year old. (Sorry to talk about those games so much. Its star wars, so relevant to the conversation).
I think Sol makes enough sense: he feels extremely guilty about killing OSHA's entire family and he kinda needs her to turn out okay in order for him to feel redeemed. He also needs a sense of purpose and thinks The Force's purpose for him is to find these kids and train them. It make sense why he'd be fixated on her, he wants redemption for his mistake and a conclusion to his purpose. Dying at the end actually gives him both of those. Qui Gon is a weird character, he's presented as being very calm and rational but also rebellious and impulsive, happy to fight and defy the council in order to follow his feelings. It feels like George accidentally wrote two different characters (the authoritative stoic and the freethinking rebel) and roughly mashed them together. His fixation on Anakin really comes out of nowhere, Anakin has no influence on the story of Phantom Menace and only exists to setup the next two films: it's really jarring how he's just shoved in there and keeps distracting Qui Gon from the actual story. When he dies at the end it's because of the actual story (the Sith conspiracy and the occupation of Naboo) and Anakin just turns into an obligation that Obi Wan has to deal with. The Acolyte was stupid, but it wasn't Phantom Menace levels of stupid.
@peacemaster8117 And yet Sol was used as Leslie's vent of her daddy issue, so it's not a good look for that character and the show. Remember, it was made from The High Republic. Also, Kennedyfilm's Star Wars is not Star Wars anymore, enough said.
@@peacemaster8117 I just want to say two things. On the topic of Sol, he seemed fixated on Osha before the whole killing her family thing. Of the four Jedi sent to Brendok, he cared the most. There may be a reason for that difference (besides that's just how he is), but we don't know. Additionally, I do think in general it's possible to rebel and still be wise. You just have to hold tight to your beliefs, not waver, and choose your battles and your manner of fighting. Qui Gon seemed to be that type of Jedi. Personally, I'd say Quinlan Vos is more impulsive.
It’s offensive that they actually thought so little of the fans, their consumers, they not only greenlit this release and promotion…but also had audacity to attack us for not accepting less than mediocrity. At this point, you can’t tell me Disney ain’t self sabotaging purposely…no one can be that dumb
There is a theory that Disney will at some point get rid of Disney + because it is losing them tonnnnssss of money. And people just wait for movies now instead of paying to go and see them
ESG checks covered this for all the people working for Disney. The executives took bribes to destroy it from within. It's suversion. Someone stole the company, and thought they could use it as a propaganda arm to push their nonsense.
This might seem overdramatic but I mean what I'm about to say. Stuff like these, gem channels with stuff made by seemingly super talented hard working individuals, this stuff actually makes life worth living i mean it adds at least like 30% happiness TO MY WHOLE DAY. It sticks in my mind and gives me something to look forward to. People can be so amazing.
This show's budget was 250 million dollars by the way , just like a wise guy said , this show took George Lucas's star wars to Harvey Weinstein's couch, while Amazon took JRR Tolkien's Lord Of The Rings to Epstein Island.
This was so satisfying to watch, not only for the dismantling of the literary incompetence ( which other youtubers have tackled reasonably ) but for the criticism of the moral dereliction that allows for such dubious people to squander hundreds of millions of dollars, and fail at the most basic requirements of craft or professionalism, while lecturing the rest of us on a simple-minded version of progressive politics. Then whine with childish indignation when they get called out on it. I don't mind fanfiction. As you said, there are fanfictions written far better than The Acolyte. And an exploration of moral ambiguity is not verboten - the Jedi might not be the flawless paragons of justice idealistic younglings believe, while the Sith are genuinely tempting, for good reason. But that can only be borne up by solid, sophisticated writing, and still has to work within the established lore and ethos of - at least - the first three movies. Something better than posturing fanfiction is required to deserve massive corporate funding and public consumption. This adolescent effluent is simply not good enough, and people should say so, clearly and frequently. So please, enjoy a coffee, or tea, or alternative lifestyle heated intoxicant, or sea cow blue milk beverage, of your choice, on me. Let's raise a beaker, and toast the day when we can appreciate good, competent, televisual writing, and never ever again have to talk about this shit :|
I hate that this show made me have to accept that The Last Jedi is a better and somehow more enjoyable piece of media which is a position I never thought I would be in :((((((
It's amazing how Lucasfilm still refuses to accept how divisive TLJ is, and injects all the ideas that were unpopular into Obi-Wan & The Acolyte. They are intent on burning everything down in the process of trying to validate their previous mistakes.
They were bad for a similar reason. Stories based on misunderstandings and characters acting dumb are more often comedies. Red letter media’s takedown of the last Jedi really shows this.
8:20 its interesting that Sole is the most liked character in this show but at the same time the most stupid and questionable characters in the acolyte.
More so, Sol was intended to be seen as creepy in his obsession with the two girls and treated by the show's creators as the villain that gets what he deserves at the end, as if the cultists and Mae weren't being jealous and possessive and repeatedly gave the Jedi reasons to treat them as hostiles. For a show that supposedly is about there being no heroes or villains, no objective good or bad, just different perspectives, the creators of it do pick and choose who is unredeemable while failing to truly judge everyone for their collective misdeeds and failures.
The nonsense defense of "I was going to let Osha go" when you can observe her Thanos snapping Mae is just absurd. The action she took warranted a response from Sol.
When OSHA appeared on screen as text I thought we were going to get a breakdown on how dangerous the production was. WHO THOUGHT NAMING HER OSHA WAS A GOOD IDEA
"I'll kill you for wanting to join the Jedi." "I'll kill the Jedi for killing you." "I'm going to turn myself in to the jedi because you're all that matters to me." It's crazy how Mae transitions between these thoughts without pause or contemplation. Literally, 'This is how I feel right now'.
@@Aquamayne100 That is not the point. Somebody has got the $200 mio, right? Dismay paid for the stuff, they got it, not the problem of those that were already paid.
Qimir is definitely the sort of guy that would play mind games and gaslight his girlfriend then give her a smouldering look if she calls him out to distract her, knowing it would work.
30 minutes in and I'm starting to get the feeling that she wasn't particularly fond of "the acolyte"... Jokes aside, you can really feel the hatred coming through at the beginning 😂
Your video production looks like it's worth more than 700k dollars per minute! Also you really get down to the root of issues on shows like this. I'm loving your videos lately
Basically closer to $1 million a minute ahaha. And don't forget theres more tax docs to come so we still don't yet know the final budget but it will be above $240 million ahaha. Thats with the UK film relief tax discount included
@@kurtwk well yeah, but the music isn't what I was talking about specifically. More that Nutsa's blend of irreverent humour and unbridled hostility reminds me of what I love about 70s punk and 80s hardcore.
Your last insight about how Darth Plagueis' story works because it's just two lines which prompt us to respond to the context and tropes they invoke better than any individual bit of lore ever would is truly poignant. Also, the Acolyte is a disgrace.

The first part of the video bashing disney is something that I didn't know I needed, it's not usual for you to do so in the start of videos but it was a welcome suprise
never seen this show but having someone named Osha is so funny. Osha... like the Occupational Safety and Health Administration? Like the thing companies aren't supposed to violate?
"depicting atypical women as a witchery performing cult with highly questioning and alarming rituals involving children" Noteworthy to mention that they LOVED this depiction and were proud of it. Almost like there's something to it..
Can you imagine the gargantuan amount of pure idiocy that was regularly flowing in that writer's room? The sh$t ideas pitched? The mutual patting on the back of its members telling each other how awesome those 'ideas' were?
That's because Nutsa does the effort to do a deep dive instead of just randomly ranting. I love Nutsa's content because even when she is talking about a show or movie she doesn't like its not just mindless insults and screaming like certain other youtube "critics".

Star Wars : The Rise of Militant Stupidity If it were merely dumb and incompetent, I wouldn't mind so much. It's the aggressively smug and condescending attitude to the viewer and the lore that gets me.
i am watching you through your efap connection and have been enjoying your humor, tone, and that slight, mysterious whisper of an accent you have. every once in awhile a word sounds off and i enjoy
I've seen a few of you videos, and I like them so far. You have an interesting way of telling a story that resonates with me. Keep it up, and watchout for the robocops.
Thanks for this post mortem break down. One thing that was missing in the weekly shaming was people actually pointing out how poorly conceived the story was when all the parts came together. Had they just held Auditions for two people that were handed their job ( maybe three) and written a cohesive story and abandoned the "mystery" and lore shoe horning, this could have been a passably good show. At the very least, boring and inoffensive like Asoka was.
I just love Nutsa's Farting Circus background music. About your accent, It's charming, very mild and nice to hear. That's why I rewatch almost all of your videos. Needless to say they are beautifully on point.
I'm honestly convinced the only people who like this show are either the people who worked on it and are being paid to say they like it, or people who are just simply paid to say they like it
Amazing video! Well done. Love your editing and cartoons too!!! And thank god for Mauler shouting it all out in yesterday's EFAP cause I had forgotten to hit the bell, and I think the last video I saw was the... ehmm.. too real one... Goodluck with everything, gonna binge what I missed, cant wait for the next!
I just found your channel today and real talk youre editing style and use of sound/ music is so freaking funny XD Please dont stop creating content, this shit is art haha
I really hope this Dregheap of a show doesnt kill Mr. Squidgame's career like it did to his character. He was the only likable character despite the character being written as part of the Acolyte.
Always Disney: "Obviously, that's not a woman." As absurd as it may seem, considering the level of nonsense they spout almost daily, it wouldn't surprise me.
20:26 But Nutsa, you made him take the gay out of it! Your Mae quotes were higher-pitched than how she spoke. Not that I'm complaining; I couldn't stand that husky deep sound she did with her voice. It was like anti-ASMR.

@@peacemaster8117 I just want to say two things. On the topic of Sol, he seemed fixated on Osha before the whole killing her family thing. Of the four Jedi sent to Brendok, he cared the most. There may be a reason for that difference (besides that's just how he is), but we don't know.
Additionally, I do think in general it's possible to rebel and still be wise. You just have to hold tight to your beliefs, not waver, and choose your battles and your manner of fighting. Qui Gon seemed to be that type of Jedi. Personally, I'd say Quinlan Vos is more impulsive.
@@peacemaster8117 Qui-Gon is impulsive, and Anakin doesn't have any influence on the story. Yeah, maybe actually try watching a movie?
I don't think Leslye intended to give us a detailed glimpse into her own twisted psyche, but she surely did!
It’s offensive that they actually thought so little of the fans, their consumers, they not only greenlit this release and promotion…but also had audacity to attack us for not accepting less than mediocrity. At this point, you can’t tell me Disney ain’t self sabotaging purposely…no one can be that dumb
There is a theory that Disney will at some point get rid of Disney + because it is losing them tonnnnssss of money. And people just wait for movies now instead of paying to go and see them
When people unquestioningly buy whatever Disney puts out, then yes, they can get that dumb 😂
ESG checks covered this for all the people working for Disney. The executives took bribes to destroy it from within. It's suversion. Someone stole the company, and thought they could use it as a propaganda arm to push their nonsense.
@@killerbees1199 but they’re losing money by the millions, summing over a billion. At what point does capitalism defeat their motives smdh
This might seem overdramatic but I mean what I'm about to say.
Stuff like these, gem channels with stuff made by seemingly super talented hard working individuals, this stuff actually makes life worth living i mean it adds at least like 30% happiness TO MY WHOLE DAY.
It sticks in my mind and gives me something to look forward to.
People can be so amazing.
This show's budget was 250 million dollars by the way , just like a wise guy said , this show took George Lucas's star wars to Harvey Weinstein's couch, while Amazon took JRR Tolkien's Lord Of The Rings to Epstein Island.
This was so satisfying to watch, not only for the dismantling of the literary incompetence ( which other youtubers have tackled reasonably ) but for the criticism of the moral dereliction that allows for such dubious people to squander hundreds of millions of dollars, and fail at the most basic requirements of craft or professionalism, while lecturing the rest of us on a simple-minded version of progressive politics. Then whine with childish indignation when they get called out on it.
I don't mind fanfiction. As you said, there are fanfictions written far better than The Acolyte. And an exploration of moral ambiguity is not verboten - the Jedi might not be the flawless paragons of justice idealistic younglings believe, while the Sith are genuinely tempting, for good reason. But that can only be borne up by solid, sophisticated writing, and still has to work within the established lore and ethos of - at least - the first three movies.
Something better than posturing fanfiction is required to deserve massive corporate funding and public consumption. This adolescent effluent is simply not good enough, and people should say so, clearly and frequently.
So please, enjoy a coffee, or tea, or alternative lifestyle heated intoxicant, or sea cow blue milk beverage, of your choice, on me. Let's raise a beaker, and toast the day when we can appreciate good, competent, televisual writing, and never ever again have to talk about this shit :|
Me: "I'm getting bored of people shitting on Star Wars"
Nutsa: "Are you sure about that?"
If Disney would just put out well written scripts we wouldn't be here.
Amandla thinks acting is just imagining how the character feels and staring into the middle distance.
I hate that this show made me have to accept that The Last Jedi is a better and somehow more enjoyable piece of media which is a position I never thought I would be in :((((((
It's amazing how Lucasfilm still refuses to accept how divisive TLJ is, and injects all the ideas that were unpopular into Obi-Wan & The Acolyte. They are intent on burning everything down in the process of trying to validate their previous mistakes.
I'd rather watch TLJ than Netflix Cuties tbh. I could probably think of a few more examples if you give me the time.
Why do you have so many mouths ?
They were bad for a similar reason. Stories based on misunderstandings and characters acting dumb are more often comedies. Red letter media’s takedown of the last Jedi really shows this.
Hell, with TLJ I can at least see where all that money went,
8:20 its interesting that Sole is the most liked character in this show but at the same time the most stupid and questionable characters in the acolyte.
More so, Sol was intended to be seen as creepy in his obsession with the two girls and treated by the show's creators as the villain that gets what he deserves at the end, as if the cultists and Mae weren't being jealous and possessive and repeatedly gave the Jedi reasons to treat them as hostiles.
For a show that supposedly is about there being no heroes or villains, no objective good or bad, just different perspectives, the creators of it do pick and choose who is unredeemable while failing to truly judge everyone for their collective misdeeds and failures.
The nonsense defense of "I was going to let Osha go" when you can observe her Thanos snapping Mae is just absurd. The action she took warranted a response from Sol.
When OSHA appeared on screen as text I thought we were going to get a breakdown on how dangerous the production was. WHO THOUGHT NAMING HER OSHA WAS A GOOD IDEA
"I'll kill you for wanting to join the Jedi."
"I'll kill the Jedi for killing you."
"I'm going to turn myself in to the jedi because you're all that matters to me."
It's crazy how Mae transitions between these thoughts without pause or contemplation. Literally, 'This is how I feel right now'.
Like Nutsa says. It comes off as something phycolocgicoly damaged and just makes no sense for a character.
This also happens with Oshia.
The showrunners were seduced by the dark side of the force:
MONEY
was it even profitable tho?
@@Aquamayne100 That is not the point. Somebody has got the $200 mio, right?
Dismay paid for the stuff, they got it, not the problem of those that were already paid.
@@What_do_I_Thinkapparently people still think it is about legit money making rather than cheating it out of the system.
Qimir is definitely the sort of guy that would play mind games and gaslight his girlfriend then give her a smouldering look if she calls him out to distract her, knowing it would work.
Yay! My favorite Georgian is back!
Yeah go Bulldogs!!

Yes. Georgia the State in the US and Georgia the Country.

And it's only the name in English.... Original is different.
30 minutes in and I'm starting to get the feeling that she wasn't particularly fond of "the acolyte"... Jokes aside, you can really feel the hatred coming through at the beginning 😂
The magical act of scissoring 💀

Now you have to be careful with scissors
I like watching women together but scissoring does nothing for me for some reason.

Just commenting to help a bit with the yt algorithm because it’s once again A GREAT VIDEO!
The algorithm must be defeated!!

Your video production looks like it's worth more than 700k dollars per minute! Also you really get down to the root of issues on shows like this. I'm loving your videos lately
Just binged all your videos. Really good stuff dissecting the topics with well thought out critiques & explanations
❤Your work is special!❤
The good kind of special.
F- ing BRILLIANT!
Thanks!
Well done I enjoyed it , you earned a follow and a share, oh and after the uk released tax records it's now $833,333.33 a min
Basically closer to $1 million a minute ahaha. And don't forget theres more tax docs to come so we still don't yet know the final budget but it will be above $240 million ahaha. Thats with the UK film relief tax discount included
There's an edgy, punk energy to these videos lately, even more than usual... makes me wanna write a song called "Random Twitter Fuckwad".
Do it! I've been considering going back to dabbling in lyrics myself due to the state of things.
Someone else digs the musical interludes too eh ?
@@luvhair255 do it. What kind of music do you like to write lyrics for?
@@kurtwk well yeah, but the music isn't what I was talking about specifically. More that Nutsa's blend of irreverent humour and unbridled hostility reminds me of what I love about 70s punk and 80s hardcore.
Always refreshing to see a gal tear this show and Twitter apart. Smashing commentary and visuals, ma’am!
This series is the artefact of the agenda of hate of some peoples
Great work Nutsa, looking forward to your next video
Your last insight about how Darth Plagueis' story works because it's just two lines which prompt us to respond to the context and tropes they invoke better than any individual bit of lore ever would is truly poignant. Also, the Acolyte is a disgrace.
Kind'a sad and pretty funny when this video looks and sounds better AND has more entertainment value than a $280 million waste of bandwidth.
This is so awful a show glad they yeeted it
Yeeted.... still waiting on deleted hehehe
I find almost all Disney Star Wars stuff boring except for Andor and Mando S1, but I'm curious, what do you mean by "they yeeted it?"
@@the_travelingbreeze Urban Dictionary:
Yeet
To discard an item at a high velocity
Know Your Meme: This Bitch Empty! Yeet! refers to a Vine in which a young woman is handed a soda can and exclaims "This bitch empty!" and then throws it into a hallway of classmates while shouting "Yeet!" The popularity of the Vine led it to be copied and referenced in text posts and jokes in which a person throws something.
@@abdullahal-shaban2418so thats where the term came from. you learn something new everyday
@@darthgamer9861 YEET
6:00 fun fact the acolyte is said to had cost 230 million dollars.
This video has so much more passion and heart put ìnto it than the Script of the Acolyte.
The first part of the video bashing disney is something that I didn't know I needed, it's not usual for you to do so in the start of videos but it was a welcome suprise

@@HeckDescender2184 thanks for flying Nutsa airlines :)
@@versevica I had a wonderful flight despite the turbulent "entertainment" ; )
I was surprised to learn from this show how flamable stones can be.
I appreciate your analytical skill, and I like the sound of your voice
never seen this show but having someone named Osha is so funny. Osha... like the Occupational Safety and Health Administration? Like the thing companies aren't supposed to violate?
"depicting atypical women as a witchery performing cult with highly questioning and alarming rituals involving children"
Noteworthy to mention that they LOVED this depiction and were proud of it.
Almost like there's something to it..
nothing of value was lost when they cancelled this abomination...
Can you imagine the gargantuan amount of pure idiocy that was regularly flowing in that writer's room? The sh$t ideas pitched? The mutual patting on the back of its members telling each other how awesome those 'ideas' were?
No. But only because the term "writer's room" being applied to this show is a compliment that it does not deserve.
Blindfolded and handcuffed to a kylo ren themed bed, omg, deepest gut laugh in years . 3:00
Dang, this is an infinitely deeper delve into these characters than all of the other videos I've seen from this side of TH-cam
That's because Nutsa does the effort to do a deep dive instead of just randomly ranting. I love Nutsa's content because even when she is talking about a show or movie she doesn't like its not just mindless insults and screaming like certain other youtube "critics".
@@HeckDescender2184 I am so glad I saw her on a random EFAP steam, I sleep to that stuff and woke up hearing her say something really potent
@@RepeatedFails ahaha thats really funny! :D i found Nutsa from her Bob Iger randomly showing up in my reccomendations last year. It's like she reveals herself just when she is needed ahah
I MISS NUTSA...
she was my absolute favorite guest... On EFAP... I wish she was there more often.
She fit right in 👍
Star Wars : The Rise of Militant Stupidity
If it were merely dumb and incompetent, I wouldn't mind so much. It's the aggressively smug and condescending attitude to the viewer and the lore that gets me.
To quote Peter Griffin, "It insists upon itself".
i am watching you through your efap connection and have been enjoying your humor, tone, and that slight, mysterious whisper of an accent you have. every once in awhile a word sounds off and i enjoy
4:16 que: *Kermit jumping off the rooftop meme*
I've seen a few of you videos, and I like them so far. You have an interesting way of telling a story that resonates with me. Keep it up, and watchout for the robocops.
This channel is equally brilliant and hilarious❤
That music choice for all the texts is really good.
Thanks for this post mortem break down. One thing that was missing in the weekly shaming was people actually pointing out how poorly conceived the story was when all the parts came together. Had they just held Auditions for two people that were handed their job ( maybe three) and written a cohesive story and abandoned the "mystery" and lore shoe horning, this could have been a passably good show. At the very least, boring and inoffensive like Asoka was.
I just love Nutsa's Farting Circus background music.
About your accent, It's charming, very mild and nice to hear. That's why I rewatch almost all of your videos. Needless to say they are beautifully on point.
I'm honestly convinced the only people who like this show are either the people who worked on it and are being paid to say they like it, or people who are just simply paid to say they like it
Some people have been sold a mentality by the people paid to say they like it, sadly. But I think you are mostly right!
I like it and didn’t get paid. I’m a regular citizen
@@carlosavendano8352 Then you're being robbed! The least you should get is being paid for saying such awful, ludicrous stuff online.
@@lonestarr1490 please pay me

What's with awful Disney projects giving their bland and frustratingly dumb heroines 4 letter names that end with sha?
11:21 "She was conceived by the magical act of scissoring" 😂😂😂
i love this channel
If i had a dollar for every time I exclaimed "Yup, exactly" during this video, I could fund the next overpriced SW project.
Amazing video! Well done. Love your editing and cartoons too!!! And thank god for Mauler shouting it all out in yesterday's EFAP cause I had forgotten to hit the bell, and I think the last video I saw was the... ehmm.. too real one... Goodluck with everything, gonna binge what I missed, cant wait for the next!
I was hoping you would cover this! Unlike the Acolyte you did not disappoint!
Wow. Amazing. Really enjoyed your vids. Please keep them coming if you can 👍
I've been waiting for this!
Now time to watch it. But before - thank you for entertaining us. And have a wonderful day.
Your commentary is SO spot on. Well done. Subbed
I just found your channel today and real talk youre editing style and use of sound/ music is so freaking funny XD
Please dont stop creating content, this shit is art haha
I really hope this Dregheap of a show doesnt kill Mr. Squidgame's career like it did to his character. He was the only likable character despite the character being written as part of the Acolyte.
he'll be fine, Korea still makes good original stuff.
Love your videos!!
when I heard, "the Harvey Weinstein is strong with this one", I gave you a like; I knew I didn't need to wait for the end of the video.

I don't know how to feel about the fact that you accurately referred to a Doofenschmirtz quote as a "saying" yet.
I will now use 'diabolically hilarious' whenever the opportunity arises.
Disney be like: A woman that hate our show, impossible! That show was made for you!
Always Disney: "Obviously, that's not a woman."
As absurd as it may seem, considering the level of nonsense they spout almost daily, it wouldn't surprise me.
I don’t know what you mean, this woman is clearly racist.
20:26 But Nutsa, you made him take the gay out of it!
Your Mae quotes were higher-pitched than how she spoke. Not that I'm complaining; I couldn't stand that husky deep sound she did with her voice. It was like anti-ASMR.
Another absolutely fantastic video!
Nutsa quickly became my favorite Disney-criticizer
Good video.
I liked some of your points and quality you have provided.
