The best quote someone said about this: "The people who used to bully you for liking Star Wars are now in control of it"
Yeah I read it too. Profound ain't it.
Slow clap.
And now bully you for NOT liking it.
So glad Theorys finally starting to be vocal about how shit star wars has become
i think its a band nerd takeover
The stupidest thing is that Star Wars already had one of the strongest female leads of all time when it was originally written. Leia is the leader of the Rebellion which is why she gets captured in the first movie. Leia’s main character features are that she’s brave, smart, and respected. The galaxy is dominated by a totalitarian regime that blows her home planet up in front of her, and her response is “$&@ you, come get these rebel hands.” She’s the definition of a badass, well written female character.
Queen Amidala as well
Thank youuuuu. She needs more love.
And now they simply have unbelievable characters that would apparently never get captured while having no training (rey). Optional: sob back story of being abandoned, orphaned or lgbtq being their entire backstory. Or my favorite: being bullied for their skin color. It's just so tiring.
Well, Mon Mothma (also a woman) was the founder and leaser of the rebel alliance, but yes.
What surprises me most is how anybody is able to F up a masterpiece like Star Wars. Like i give you the whole package, episodes 1-6, now i tell you to expand it however you like. I'd be utterly shocked to see anyone mess it up this bad
Wait. They chose to break canon and bring back a character but they picked the guy who has a harem because his species genetically requires it so much that the jedi made an exception for their anti-attachment stuff? Wow. Unless they retconned that as well this just indicates they aren't even vaguely familiar with the source material.
As a straight female who always loved Star Wars, ever since I was around 10 years old, watched and loved all things sci-fi and action, played outside with the boys, lightsaber duels, hockey, etc. I can't stand what is happening to all things we loved growing up and now. As you said, strong females and strong female leads have been around forever, it isn't new, and it was typically done quite badass back in the day! I'm also sick of the treatment of men, god forbid they show they are strong and think for themselves and bam tOxIc & sExIsT! 🙄People need to focus on quality, and spare us with their bullshit agendas.
The irony is that they criticize toxic male behavior, but give the female characters exactly the same quality that they apparently hate in men...
Well said sis
I agree with every word you said. As a straight white 50 year old man, thankyou for showing me sanity still exists. I'm sick and tired of people attempting to guilt me for being who and what I was born to be.
The black girl with the rich White dad....must be so hard. The Antiwhite narrative is exhausting.
Yeah, also the fact that the 25% black girl is a multi millionaire. So OPPRESSED!!
@@cypher5910 Michael.
Literal white supremacy.
@cypher5910 obama actually did something tho, good or bad things is not for me to decide. But her and her husband actually achieve something that hadent been done before. Making her not as bad imo

Friendly reminder that the Acolyte creator, in all her girl-boss interviews, kinda neglects to mention that she was Harvey Weinstein's personal assistant for years, and knew all of the shady goings on, but for 'reasons' was able to avoid being dragged down. If she was straight and a guy, 3 guesses as to whether she'd be employable in hollywood. Source: her wikipedia page. Leslye Headland.
It's amazing that she is not only getting jobs but big budget ones despite having no qualifications.
The power of the alphabet-female card is either that powerful, or she got dirt on enough people on top to get whatever she wants for life.
@@sianaisHear me out. What if she know something about some higher ups in Disney that were customers of Weinstein, so they give her this project to shut her up?
@@TRPDKDisney has “Make you disappear” money, if she was in deep enough to understand the game she wouldn’t want to cross Disney like that. She’s probably in their good graces because she kept her mouth shut.
What's the early life section of that wikipedia page say 😂
She literally acquired "talent" for Harvey... IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN
Just to put this into perspective this show has spent 180 million for season 1 DUNE 2 cost 170 million.................. the acolyte has to be a money laundering scheme
Everything woke is a money laundering scheme.
the LotR films are 90mil each. Entertainment budgets are actual insanity.
What the actual fuck?
@@antonfuchs7300 But those actually make money.
Went from having 1 black guy in the entire galaxy to a galaxy where if your not gay or a ethnic race, your a alien
There is no gay person in the hole series
@@lennoxax929 Lando is a Pansexual now (thanks to Solo).
So technically, there is one.
Plus apparently, you can make Luke Skywalker gay if it fit your own vision of the character now so..there's two?
and soon, there will be manyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
@Geekezf didn't know. However that has nothing to do with acolyte
@@lennoxax929 Gays no. Lesbians at least two.
There is no gay in this series.
It's comical how they created an entire cult around black fatherless children and didn't think for a second about what they were doing there.
They really thought they had something.
Yikes I didn’t even realize that. Maybe that’s racist Hollywood being woke but at the same time showing their true colors
No better source material than reality
Looooooool
it has to be malicous hollywood keeps doing crap like that
Race, Sexuality, Looks > Storytelling, Plotting, and Worldbuilding
is precisely how every piece of entertainment fails today.
Not every piece, just Western one, and some of JP that is stationed in California. The world isn't only the US.
Not every piece mostly just the Hollywood trash
@@TheMrToxin then what is the world if its not the US ??
@@TheMrToxinI highly doubt the ones who have a problem with this type of situation cares about non-western films. I’m sure you understand that
Edit: majority of*
Nothing to do with any of that. Disney has been making bad products for over a decade, it's just their MO. Meanwhile every other so called "woke" media is doing great, just look at baldurs gate 3
In regards to the house of the dragon, it’s good to acknowledge that at no point in the show do they ever make a big deal out of the velarions being black. They’re just there and they act like regular nobles in the setting.
Except making an entire race of people who weren't black, black. Other than that they did nothing.
Still only threading the line of just another average series, and i'm being generous..
The biggest problem with Vader going to back to Tatooine and Obi-Wan leading him back there is that the whole purpose of him going into hiding on that planet is to keep Luke from him. Because Vader hated that planet, so the chances of the dark side finding them were slim to none. Another massive oversight from Disney
what are you talking about? obiwan never led him back to tatooine?
@@itz_otto was their battle not on tattooine at the end of the first season?
@@calco5482 vaders and obiwans? No it was on a barren moon
@@calco5482The planet they fought on is Jabiim
Yeah, that plot was kinda bad

Fun fact: the poison scene wasn’t acting the actor was just trying to get out of the show by any means necessary.
unironically, my mom, aunt and uncle love this show. they are past senior age though.they also love KDRAMA.
they were moved at the poison scene. taste is relative i guess
i gotta test my water if it has lead in it....
Bro LMAO
LOL - I was thinking by episode 4 everyone who "died" was grateful.
That "dis track" tho.... How is she not embarrassed lol
This show had Velma vibes. I'm sure there's an audiance for this, but there is just no explanation towards the shareholders.
She's not a professional actress. She's an activist.
Not only her. Most of the entertainment industry is like this nowadays.
A left wing activist disguised as an actress
no she's a pro, basically worked for Disney her whole life
@daruekeller yea, that explains it
@@daruekellerdoesn’t make her a pro. she has the range of a turnip
I mean, I loved starwars as a female kid, played with lightsabers and shit. I didn’t require the franchise to be anything other than exactly what it was to appreciate it. Disney is a clown show these days.
I think it's an important point : a show shouldn't gatekeep its fandom. A fandom who would reject fans because of their gender or skin colour would be utterly rotten.
But it doesn't have to catter to them just for the sake of inclusivity. Just be good, and people will decide if they want to be fans or not, there's enough room for everybody (I don't like Bridgerton, I don't like One Piece, I'm not gonna tell people to change them so I can like them. I'll just watch something else).
@@dalriada7554this ^^^
Feels like whoever’s in charge is forcibly trying to make people see a “certain angle” thru the writing or “message” in Star Wars instead of just y’know….making Star Wars
It’s not that hard to make an Oscar worthy Star Wars film and yet disney be strugglin bro 🤦🏾♂️
There’s a great video essay done by this lady about her gripes with the new Disney-lead Star Wars and she basically said something to the affect of “don’t include me in this!? This isn’t for ME?!”
Basically denouncing the whole thing about Disney Star Wars trying to be more inclusive for women and LGBTQ+ stuff
When in reality, it’s kind of always had that in the background and the actual plot was what made Star Wars fun and memorable
Especially the OT
@@dalriada7554gatekeeping implies keeping the essence of a franchise pure and in tact, the only problem is a bunch of people who want to change everything...
@@squaeman_2644 By gatekeeping, I mean refusing that people different from you are part of the fandom (like saying "Warhammer 40K are for boys, not for girls").
Because girls enjoy geek stuff (I mean the people I know who build gundams are pretty evenly divided by gender).
Changing everything in a franchise is just crap (unless you're really really good. Like Verhoeven changing the message of Starship Troopers in the movie. Or Kubrik changing Shining to the point Stephen King rejected it).
"A Barbie movie about Ken." Boy, wouldn't that be a sight to see. Imagine the headlines.
Isn’t that kinda what happened though. Like Ken stole the show in the Barbie movie and people loved Ken
It's honestly insane that Disney was handed a franchise with a huge, long lasting and loyal fanbase and managed to destroy it. They've literally rewritten and retconned so much of the original story and original characters to the point that it's almost unrecognizable.
It's also really wild to write a bunch of crap characters, hyper specific social ideas, and lazy story lines and then blame fans when they point out that it's trash. I still haven't gotten over Rei's "this dagger has done terrible things!!" while she's toting around the Youngling Slayer 5000. It's just a bunch of people who figured out in a meeting one day that they can somehow blame other people for their own poor performance and no one had the decency to correct it. If the vast majority of people hate your show, and have been hating what you've been doing for some time, maybe consider that hate watching doesn't keep people around that long. It's actual fans who keep giving your content a shot because maaaaaaaaaaybe this time will be different. People loved the Mandalorian even though it was basically "someone kidnapped baby Yoda!! We've gotta get him back!! *baby Yoda eats something and coos*" rinse and repeat. It was reasonably close to the Star Wars setting and didn't retcon anything too crazy because it mostly created its own story in the bounds of that setting or kill off any beloved characters with absurd deaths. It's especially pathetic to try to act like they're trying to 'fight racism!!' with Star Wars in any capacity when THEY REMOVED FINN from the posters for other countries and they edit out so much to show in the Middle East that this trash probably isn't even available there.
The last 3 movies are just blatant attempts at taking what made any popular MALE character and basically trying to replace them with a new character meant to be a fan favorite, usually as a female. Luke is no longer the chosen one, Leia is a Jedi somehow, force healing was suddenly a thing even though soooo many characters have died that apparently didn't need to. At a certain point, it's better to just create actual new stories that at least somewhat stick to the lore.
Space lesbian witches who can reproduce without a male is literally just someone's "what is the Most Feminist you could be? Let's make them that." fantasy. They literally could have had the most basic storyline and a bunch of good action scenes and gotten away with it. A lot of action movies these days are basically like "Here is the justification for a bunch of cool action scenes. Here are the cool action scenes. Good guys win, the day is saved, roll credits." They've gotten so far away from the story tropes people know and love that when you add in all the bullshit it becomes unbearable. The original trilogy worked because people love the story of the heroic journey. The prequels work because it tells the backstory of how Anakin's heroic journey ended with him as the villain. People hated the most recent trilogy because it gave Rei all the abilities others had to work for, and then some more on top, for no reason. They tried to retcon that too but even that was lame. If they had written the Acolyte as it's own IP and not part of Star Wars, just a whodunit set in space, it probably wouldn't have been nearly as hated.
At this point I honestly think they're just trying to capitalize on the hate watching because someone has to be approving funding for this and there's no way they don't see the trends in their audience scores and content.
Also, to be fair, if I realized I had to fight a Wookie after I had already set out on a journey for revenge with my bare hands, I probably would have given up too lol
Space lesbian witches sounds like something Tumblr would write.
@@EdyAlbertoMSGT3 lol yeah, it really just sounds like someone’s feminist power trip super fantasy. Peak feminism, no men involved anywhere for any reason.
@@tj7094
After destroying the family they went after education, now they're on male entertainment
Yeah, I ain't reading all that
I'm happy for you though
Or sad that happened
Star Wars fans don’t hate female leads because they’re female, but we’ll hate if the writing just sucks. We’ve had strong female leads like Leia and Jyn and other strong female characters such as Ashoka, Padme, Asaj Ventress, Bo Katan (she’s better in TCW). The reason why everyone hated the sequels wasn’t because the main character was a girl, but it was because her story and writing sucked, and it’s the same thing with The Acolyte.
In the books there was Mara Jade too and she was awesome
@@astrowuffand Jaina who got loads of attention in the books.
Saba sebatine was also awesome but she didn’t get as much from what I’ve read so far.
Yeah, it's one thing to be critical of the writing and say "The films weren't written the very best and definitely could have been better, but there were some things I really liked that I think they nailed."
It's another thing entirely to say "Ugh! Rey is a total Mary Sue. She ruined the movies. Lucasfilm and Kathleen Kennedy don't know what fans want and are killing our childhood! These films were trash and belong in the dumpster of history, on fire. Bring back the EU. Make a movie with Luke being the badass Jedi we know and love."
One is constructive, the other is immature, toxic gatekeeping bullshit.
@@grayden4138 If someone doesn’t believe in the first one why would they say it? What you said wasn’t critical either. Hilariously the only thing in your list that had an actual specificity was “mary sue”. Otherwise, no information was provided to improve upon.
And the only thing they nailed in the sequels was sound effects and visuals. They look absolutely fantastic imo. But as stories? Not really. The first one was fine but still had loads of (in my opinion, and it seems a lot of peoples,) fixable problems, but still lots of the following two however were horrendously done. And I could get into specifics, but honestly theres got to be at least 6 to 12 videos that go into depth on that or how it could be better.
What are you talking about? Nah, it’s clearly just that we suddenly hate women and feel “threatened”.
I mean, it can’t be that there’s a lack of talent. It just can’t be. That would mean they’d have to “take responsibility” (which is basically just a slogan to these people).
Their emotional needs are telling them they’re right and we’re all wrong. 😂
Btw you’re protesting a bit much with that list of stunning and brave, brave and stunning characters. Personally I think this whole franchise is paper thin, even the OG trilogy. It was never intended to be this expansive.
Laser samurai knights in spaaaaace was always the appeal, not political lectures. I’m just enjoying watching the freak show burn down from a safe distance.
No I am not watching the actual show
Bro imagine being a star wars geek in the 70s and 80s, getting builled and hazed revenge of the nerds style, only to grow up and get bullied out of your own fandom. Sad times.
Yea, growing up I was a nerd loser because of what I watched, now I'm a racist bigot because of things I don't watch.
@@CSestp bro that's horrible, they shoved you in a locker only too let you out in a klan hood.
@@evanajames531 I guess thats where my "care" comes from. These people were not bullied because of something they loved. Didn't dare buy any star wars, star trek, or marvel garb for fear of getting beaten up or mocked. Yet I'm the societal problem of today... Just let me read my x-wing books and leave me be assholes.
Ditto
this is how my uncle feels. he saw the original as a small kid. now he's watching his childhood get fucking destroyed.
They make a show for an audience that doesn't even watch Star Wars, then gets mad when the people who are actually invested in Star Wars... don't like the show.
You just can't make this shit up.
They took one of the most profitable domains, and turned it into fucking garbage.
I think what always gets me about shit like this is that we HAVE strong female leads, we have well written stories with good representation. But when shit like the Acolyte bombs the media always acts like there's a problem with the viewers. Like Ellen Ripley was a strong bad ass woman protagonist 45 fucking years ago.
The reason these crap movies, games, and TV shows fail isn't because 'ooga booga white cis men' it's because they're objectively bad. They're poorly written, poorly cast, and only ever serve to push a political agenda, and hey maybe we need more women of color in media, fine, but THIS?! This isn't going to make your average Star Wars consumer suddenly go: "You know racism is bad." it's just going to make them hate the show.
And it keeps happening, over and over, same management, different shit.
The biggest mistake they made was destroying the male role completely. There is NO reason to destroy the male role to make a female seem strong... just make her strong and keep the males strong too. how hard is that
you're about 6 years too late with that take.
we're way beyond this by now.
There’s no reason for it too like there’s retcons yea but previous ones I think of helped the overall story retconing something to clarify a plot this show just does it cause the writers are ignorant plugs
i actually think these "strong female characters' look super weak to me. if you have to cow all the characters around them then they must be pathetic. a strong woman would have strong friends.
It doesn't fit "THE MESSAGE"
Also competent female characters don't have to be masculine coded, a great example is Lucy from the Fallout TV series
The terms Racist and Sexist don’t mean anything anymore
The only meaning they have left is in telling you what the political leanings of the person saying them are. The moment someone says those words in any context other than joking and/or critical of them is probably someone who's going to do whatever they can to ruin you if they find out you're not one of them.
I’ve been saying for the last couple of years. You used to not want to be called a racist or sexist because it was bad but if everyone is being called racist or sexist then there’s no fear anymore. And what’s even the point of trying to avoid being called those things when it’s just going to happen anyways? I think they’re going to make people more racist and sexist than ever
Well they are bold racists and sexists. Can you explain , why you think, they aren't ones?
Add fascist to the list
Sexist? Ain't one yet, but I'm trying to work up the stamina for that.
you know the funniest thing.
If I made a distrack with the goal of "making black people cry"
I'm labelled as a racist.
I hear they cut a scene where there's a character called Jor Jor Floyd that gets force choked by Jedi and is screaming "I CAN'T BREATHE"
I still cant believe how uninformed one of the cast members is where he:
- twice said anakin blew up the death star in separate interviews
- said star wars doesnt have a good or evil its a matter of opinion
- said he never felt he could be a jedi because he had a darker skin tone and didnt feel represented... *Cough* mace windu *cough* 20 years ago *cough* finn held a lightsaber and had a fight only a few years ago *cough* (and james earle jones was always known as darth vader even though he was just the voice. He's much more widely known than Sebastian Stan and David Prouse were)
He knows enough about SW to believe Anakin blew up the death star. That's all we need to know. My favourite actor when I was a kid (female) was Bruce Lee. I knew I could never be a Chinese martial artist but that didn't mean I couldn't enjoy watching him be one. If they truly believe 'I have no affinity because I can't see myself', they're either narcissists or they're fed those lines by Disney in 'media training'.
These people worship villains in real life and claim they are good so it makes sense they are confused and gaslighting people to believe it’s all perspective.
@@tkps 100% I loved Bruce lee as well and Jackie Chan was someone we all loved pretending to be as kids at school. We all loved power rangers as well and didn't care who played who, we could see ourselves as all of the rangers. Just because you haven't physically seen someone play a role doesnt mean you can't see yourself in the role. (Even though the actor in this situation is just factually incorrect as we have had Mace Windu as a main jedi and as George Lucas says, pretty much everyone in star wars is an alien).
Disney is just hypocritical in the whole thing anyway.
uninformed*
the sad part is, Finn going from Imperial trooper to Jedi would have been waaaaaaaaaaay cooler than Rei "Skywalker"
Leslye Headland the creator of Acolyte is actually the acolyte of Harvey Weinstein. Not joking, there's even an interview.
It’s projection
That doesn't surprise me in the slightest.
so I'm not a big fan of Leslye's agenda driven behaviors, but I just want to point out that KK giving Lego Headlady a huge payday for nailing Fat Bastard is the only thing I respect about Kathy. Dude was a goddamned monster, took advantage of around 80+ women plus Ashley Judd and Gweneth Paltrow, and I believe Leslye did have a hand in supplying credible info to help put him away, some justice was served. Wish people would stop saying she was some sort of accomplice, pretty sure she hates that db with a passion.
@@ferrarriohh Cause she was an accomplice. She was his right hand assistant. The fact that she was in a position to know enough to help take him down means that she was aware of it for a long time. Most likely even aided him for years. The only reason she isn’t behind bars for it is because she made a deal with the feds for her info. If she did aid in any information. You don’t get to be in the position she was in without knowing and being fully aware of things.
@@ferrarriohh if she had information to take him down she could have exposed him at any time.
It's wild to me that the fans are being called racists when pretty much all of us can agree. Mace Windu was an awesome character.
Hold up, a Jedi Wookie dies off screen!?!? Wtfffffff… lmaooooooooooo
They don’t want ANYONE to take the spot light from their Witches Cult… that’s crazy af..
Someone probably saw the writing for the scene and thought, its actually better to have this happen off screen than show this ridiculous Wookie death.
They argued it was because of the budget.
The hundreds of millions in budget, for the 6 episodes show...
Imagine watching and seeing that in real- time lol I would’ve been so pissed off not seeing Jedi wookie fight
DONT WORRY WE GET TO SEE HIM FIGHT!!!
….in a flashback 🙃
Same with Carrie Anne Moss’s character. Y’know…the one that got killed within 30 seconds of the first episode…by a small dagger to the chest 🙃
It figures- they broke one of George Lucas' rules (that Wookiees couldn't be Jedi) to create this dude in the firs place, and then barely did anything with him.
Same problem with Blizzard.. the devs are either forcefully sheltered or self-sheltered from 99.99% of feedback because it's "Toxic Gamer Culture"
It's not the same. Blizzard makes money.
@@Floxxoror that's debatable, if Microsoft hadn't of stepped in I think we would be sings a different tune
gated communities writing TV shows
@@Floxxoror "Blizzard make money" True, but only because of what it used to be--not because of what it is today. Just like with the state of California. CA is NOT an economic powerhouse (a status it is losing) because of current fiscal policy, but because of past fiscal policy.
Self
Whenever someone criticizes you for not like the acolyte you can always bring up the fact that the show created an entire cult around black fatherless children.
And just proclaim that it's racist to like the show because it appropriates racist stereotypes. If they're gonna play their stupid game just throw it right back in their face.
11:52 Star Wars wasn't made for a male audience at all. Leah is basically the hero. And it was always highly diverses. Now it's not for everybody, it's by women for women.
Lucas based Star Wars off a Japanese film about Samurai escorting a princess. It was made by a dude for dudes.
Women just love inserting themselves in male spaces
@@oompalumpus699 I don't know where I lost you, but like I said, if you've watched the movies you'd know 4, 5, 6 were for everyone.
@@BusJustice If by "everyone" you mean 80% males and 20% females...sure. Everyone...
@@Plisko1 I think your reductiveness is a thin veil for your inability to understand "everyone".
@@BusJustice First of all Lucas is on record saying it was made for 12 year old kids. That's not "everybody". Second, many "popcorn movies" from that era were targeting males because they were determined to be a bigger influence in movie decisions. That is also not "everybody". Third, if the diehard fans are 80-90% male... the target audience is pretty obvious. YOU may be the one who is being reductive about the definition of "everyone". I do agree that it is now blatantly targeting females...because they think it is dominated by the patriarchy...meaning it was made for men.
"Steel or laser are no threat to them"
A master got killed by a small knife earlier....
A goldfish wrote this show.
Which means: Trinity is Alive.
They should have used the beluga who write for Family Guy. They did a better job than the goldfish.
It was a vibroblade. But I agree that the show is 🗑️
Yo, wait a minute, don't disrespect goldfish by lumping them into this.
I, for one, feel like a goldfish would have put more heart into their writing. Imagine the narrative importance they would place on fish crackers. 🧐
"is she or a they?" the dialogue hopelessly dates the show. 100% sure this culture thing won't be here 10 years from now
Love the scene in LOTR when Aragorn asks Gandalf "What do I call king Theoden - him, her, them?". Made the trilogy complete.
You call him Theo... den.. and now...
...was that before of after Morbin' time
This is why I watch anime. It doesnt talk down to its viewers. In fact, anime talks you UP while western entertainment talks you down.
Edit after watching: Ugh, tell them to just get john favraeu and dave feloni to bring back Galen Marrack, man. Bring back the good stuffs, please, dear god. I just want the awesome to come back. Its called "Legends" for a reason. And those directors are in fact legendary as hell
I prefer the old terms "Expanded Universe" and "Extended Universe" as even though it was legendary, "Legends" insinuates that none of it at all could possibly be canon. Some for good reasons like when Han fist fought a giant sentient ferret, and others for no reason like how Kyle Katarn and Jan Ors were the ones to get the Death Star plans in the Dark Forces games.
'it doesn't talk down to its viewers'
Is this a joke? The average anime is so poorly written they literally provide inner monologue in most of them to exposition dump 😂
@@jeffferreira1321 animation is expensive and labor intensive
It shocks me the amount of Disney bots that defend this garbage. Calling people with braincells like me "toxic" and "not a real star wars fan" for not liking every piece of Star Wars content. I'd argue it is the other way around. This show is not canon, "it can't be"...
One more note, people say that men must hate woman leads in Star Wars, but many people praise Ashoka so that comment makes no sense.
"Don't call my dumpster fire a dumpster fire."
"Don't talk to me unless you have something good to say about me"
a golden trash can with falmes?
Stop screaming at me to look at it, then!
"stop telling me my shit smells bad"
Can we start calling it a Honey Bucket?
Over 20 million per episode, 1 of the 10 most expensive shows per episode ever. not even 28 minutes for episode 4. Around 750k dollar per minute, 12.5k per second. That's one of the 5 most expensive shows per minute ever. And look, what they did with that. What a waste of money... 🤦♂
With so little views. I don't get why they keep pushing this garbage? It's not profitable or is it a money laundering scheme or something?
That puts things into such a dismal perspective.
Furthermore
They revealed that 4.8 million people watched the Acolyte in “the first day”
But they premiered the first 2 episodes at once so that number is divided in half for the show’s viewers so best case 2.4 million people watched both episodes but Disney+ has 120 million subscribers
This means that only 2% watched on day one and even after 5 days it was still only 9% at 11 million
And Disney called these numbers “record breaking”
Which means that every single other show on Disney+ did worse
And Disney+ has yet to make a single solitary dollar in profit
our 8th grade show had a better story than this, and we did it for free....fuckin'ell
And you suddenly hear a voice echoing _"money laundering"_ in your mind
Diversity is not usually an issue, it's the inappropriate diversity box ticking that is a problem...
For example, if you have a solitary group of people that are all white but that one main character from that group is black for no reason other than diversity then you have messed up.
Why are they there?
Take the "Not-Hobbits" on the show Rings of Power, a solitary group that wants nothing to do with outsiders. Yet... They are a very diverse group.
The main female protagonist Nori is whiter than a glass of milk and while her daddy is white, her mother is a person of colour.
Now this is not a problem if they lived somewhere like New York and socialised with the outside world but they don't, so where did the genetic diversity come from?
Do they meet with other "Not-Hobbits" and exchange mates during their migration?
Or when they get to their winter destination is it like a city where all young people get to mingle, fall in love, marry, start families, and possibly tribes of their own?
Why is there diversity in a group of beings that shouldn't have any due to their chosen isolation?
Princess Leia didn't wait around to be rescued after she was kidnapped, she waited for her brother to cause a distraction and wrapped her chains around that fat slug's neck for hurting her man...
She took action when necessary and took charge when needed. She was a true female icon and someone for little geeky girls to admire and aspire to.
We also had Red Sonia, Ellen Ripley, Sara Connor, Lara Croft, Lindsey Brigman (The Abyss), and Barbarella, who are just a few examples of strong women written well.
Strong women have always been a part of Fantasy and Sci-Fi, and I find it very insulting when I see them tell me I should like the crap they are pumping out because there has never been any strong Wamen in these genres before...
The point of fantasy is that you either want to sleep with the main character or be the main character/hero.
14:39 Bad News, Phoebe Waller-Bridge (the women who ended James Bond and destroyed Indiana Jones in their last movies) is writing the new Tomb Raider movie, so expect that IP to be pillaged beyond recognition. 3rd wave feminism is so boring, predictable and trite.
It's so depressing that one of my favorite franchises is being used as a tool for talentless hacks to push their worldview instead of trying to create something that everyone can love.
In a nutshell how many old ex blizzard fans have felt over a decade..
It seems so obvious in hindsight. Buy one of the most popular story franchises in history and use its established foundation as a vehicle to push your degenerate worldview.
that's the destructive nature of the woke movement. they could push their agendas through new shows devoted to highlighting their ideas, and no one could realistically have a problem with that, but instead they insist on ruining long standing, well loved stories!
How I felt about the Witcher. The stars aligned. Lore rich world with award winning books and games to pull from. A lead actor absolutely immersed in passion for the character. A studio with a high budget. And "The Message" ruined it. That perfect scenario will never happen again.
@@nerddotcom5817 unfortunately it's looking like history is repeating itself with the warhammer show!
Disney saying that their audience hates female leads and that Star Wars has been a patriarch is absolutely idiotic. Leia was not only a PRINCESS (who broke the norms of a princess being delicate)- she was also apart of the Senate AND the leader of the whole ass Rebellion. She was an extremely active character that often lead the charge. Not only that, but Padme was a similarly active, strong female character. A whole ass QUEEN and SENATOR who took her roles very seriously. On top of that, she was a beautiful wife who supported and cared for Anakin as he grew into a man. But, please Disney, keep yapping about how women have been neglected in Star Wars. Obviously the cast is more male leaning because at it's core, Star Wars is an epic Sci-Fi franchise with action, war and tons of battle and politics. Be realistic. Our current militia is heavily made of men (more than 80% men), it's just the facts. It's insane to call Star Wars a patriarch when it deals with male dominated topics and themes.
EDIT: As the replies are mentioning, I completely forgot to mention the badass females from The Clone Wars. Some replies list them all and I'd like to highlight Ahsoka (she's genuinely my favorite character, Anakin being my second. I can't believe I forgot to mention TCW characters). Ahsoka's dual wielding was incredibly epic and unique and her character arc over the show was BY FAR one of the most in-depth ones in Star Wars. Ahsoka is the prime example of how George Lucas's Star Wars was NOT AT ALL snoozing when it came to females.
And Asajj Ventress was so compelling and had a very well-written personality and inner conflict. Seeing a dark side female that was actually written really well is why I can't take any of Disney's villains today seriously, lol.
Mon Mothma was the leader technically...
Besides that
There was Ahsoka, Asajj Ventress, Satele Shan, and more characters from the Old Republic era
Mon Mothma led the rebellion.
Regarding to Leia she wasa badass during her first introduction compared to the others.
@@wizardwolf1020 and treya and the fucking exile as well. but yes, there are no strong women in star wars. it's a completely new concept that only disney could come up with....
Crazy that the show that has a whole ass scene about the "power of many" completely disregards the voice of many
On the comment about male dominated genres and movies/shows that are made "specifically for men".
That's silly. Lord of the Rings was written by a man that focused on men. But both men and women enjoy it.
Blade was, according to Asmon, written for men. It targets men who enjoy the action-packed content of supernatural fights with guns and blood. But both men and women enjoy it.
The ISSUE is that a lot of these new writers are pushing an agenda way too hard. There's NOTHING wrong with adding women to shows/movies, and there's nothing wrong with adding characters with different sexualities. In fact, it should be encouraged, but not thrown so hard in our faces that it's obvious it was done intentionally rather than naturally.
They do not respect the original content, or the original stories. If they want to incorporate something new and creative to bring in a wider audience, you cannot beat down and rip apart the original so completely that even the blind can see the visual intention. I love Star Wars, I love Star Trek. Back in the day, men will claim they aren't shows/movies catered to women. But it's not about catering to a gender. It's about writing something that is enjoyable without spitting on the fanbase.
No one even talks about how trash the base of the story even is. Twins being separated at birth and one is bad and one is good is the most basic plot line of all time
I think I remember that kind of story from an old fairy tale book my nan gave me as a kid.
OG Star Wars itself is the basic Hero's Journey story. Its perfectly fine to use classic tropes, you just need decent writing to make it good.
4 episodes in and both are good now LOL
It's the anime effect I swear, and I enjoy anime mainly the OG original hand drawn style. But they get a plot then run it into the ground they cant let a story die. Some of the best shows and movies dont have a clear cut end they leave it open so your left to speculate. This is just someones fanfiction come to life which shouldn't be allowed.
name 2
It's not an inability to read the audience, it's the unwillingness to even consider it.
Kathleen literally say that the Star Wars fandom is male dominated. The problem is that she looks at that as something that needs to be changed. But she definitely know who the fans are.
People were attacking this show before it even came out. Simply because "not enough white man".
Well said
Kathleen's unwillingness to consider the audience is insulting to the fanbase, and Kathleen has said on several occasions that she doesn't care.
It's like your mom making tuna casserole for dinner, you saying, "But I don't want tuna casserole!" Then her getting right up in your face, planting a finger squarely on your chest, and then saying in angry, hushed undertones, "YOU will eat it, and you WILL LIKE IT!"
You're not the audience.
Asmon says he doesn’t care about lore as long as the story is good. This is an idiotic take on his part because lore is supposed to be world building which adds structure to the current events. History in real life is important to get right because if people change it at any given moment then it’ll be inconsistent. Very much in shows and movies if the lore isn’t consistent then it’ll make the show less appealing.
Amon’s ideology boils down to this. “I only eat burgers so I don’t care if the restaurant changes their menu, as long as they have burgers I’m happy” which isn’t bad on its own but then him saying he doesn’t care about lore is him saying “I don’t care if others don’t get what they want, as long as I get what I want then I’m happy”.
It's crazy because Star Wars USED to push Virtues. Protection of friends and family, people deserve second chances etc etc. And they have all but destroyed that.
Xena the Warrior Princess is still much much much better at portraying not only one, but two kind of strong female leads simultaneously, despite aired nearly 30 years ago. What went wrong? Man...
Lucy Lawless and Renee O'Connor looked a lot better than any of the supposed women in The Acolyte.
And they were lesbians in the show. It just wasn't thwarted in our faces
@@erinavery4577 Back in in the day when someone said there were lesbians in a show, you got interested
@@neetogoodgoy6517that's true. Not saying there was anything wrong with it (my comment came out poorly) Lucy Lawless said something of the sort that it wasn't recommended to say it directly to the audience back then. To be honest it didn't need to because their love was obvious i.e. good writing
And on the other side, it was much more popular than the Hercules live action series
Ripley wasn't super physically attractive, but her determination, instinct, and emotion made her attractive. especially in Aliens where the character showed motherly instinct. Modern hollywood would hate ripley.
Am I the only one that thought sigourney weaver was very attractive in alien? Feel like I’m going crazy here
@@TheJALT2 No she was damn hot.
Nah, She a stone cold fox... smh
I mean she's not asian supermodel level hot but she's a functionally attractive woman. That's also part of what makes her character believable. She seems like a fairly normal person who's been thrust into a crazy situation. Same with characters like Sarah Connor from Terminator.
I think that at least in the first Alien film it is clear that even if the main character was played by someone like Stallone, simple physical strength and courage would not be enough in the face of a Xenomorph. So Ripley was also the voice of intelligence and common sense - precisely what connects us to her. She was trying to follow protocols in the face of an unknown threat and the other crew ignored her.
No one questioning why there is fire in space? The same fire that requires oxygen to burn?
They love SpongeBob. Which is strange because even SpongeBob knows about letters in the water.
there are certain chemical fires that can produce their own oxygen.
They could have at least made the fire look like air or fuel is leaking out, causing a fire spout instead of a campfire.
Gave the whole show a watch with a "I'll give my opinion once the full season plays out" attitude. I love SW and really tried. It was just a poorly written story. Period.
It's sad that genuine complaints/critiques are automatically being labeled as racist, sexist, and every other "ist". Anyone that doesn't like the show is automatically one of those. Why are they not making constructive counterarguments instead of relying on vilifying?
The actual "ist" doesn't even care what these people call them because they're proud of it. The average person is not but they are confused and questioning their own morals because Disney is telling them to out of misplaced guilt
Because their worldview doesn't acknowledge competing ideas. Everything ultimately comes down to power and who is in charge. It's fundamentally what makes all of their art terrible, and all of their characters monsters. If you disagree, then you're just trying to manipulate the power structure and you're an enemy.
People get high on moral grandstanding and preaching to others from their high horse, especially so when thing like ESG and DEI Blackrock/Vanguard etc reinforcing to these people that they're in the right for what they're doing, woke shit gets investment money and this allows people who are freaks and believe all this BS to effectively transform every entertainment IP into a platform for political activism.

The difference being that when she killed the witch king, it was dramatic irony, the audience already knew who it was and knew the character. It wasn't some lame attempt at a shaming the audience with a bait and switch with a big "I'm really a woman!" Reveal.
Feminism is in such a stupid state right now. I’m being told that unless I act like a man (as a woman) I’m not worthy or being treated equally? People can have different strengths and weaknesses and it doesn’t make them less worthy of respect. If men and women respect each other and we are in a meritocracy (which I think we are), then we don’t need cringey shows like this. More men like Star Wars, and the women who do like Star Wars like it as it is!! If you change it then it’s something else. We can like different things and that’s OK. That’s not bad. I’m fed up of being told otherwise by wokies. If anything is actually offensive, it’s their approach, NOT reality itself.
So the show is about black kids without a father trying to cope... Well well well, I think Disney is being kinda racist there.

Rogue one had a strong female lead, and fans loved it.
Jyn Erso was fucking amazing. One of my personal favorite protagonists in Star Wars. Second only to Luke and Ahsoka. Yes, both are tied in first place for me
So true.
Rogue One was an amazing addition to the Star Wars universe. It worked well, didn't destroy the lore, had excellent character development, and a great storyline/plot.
What went wrong? Why is Disney seemingly destroying a franchise that has endless potential?
She had a man though…doesn’t count. She was hot as well though
Apparently only successful women are those that are forever single.
Such a projection I might add.
All to project that a scenario where successful women can’t be married or in deep relationships. Men would just want to oppress them or overshadow them.
When reality is far from the truth. I found those women that are in the same page as I am and it just makes sense to be together.
She is working on her career, I am working on mine. Both have similar goals and interests.
In the alternative she can go into night clubs and look for a partner there…there is a good chance that they just want to f- them and are a mess
I can go too and find women and get my kicks with the same type of women.
But it’s an environment we aren’t that familiar with and not long term solutions.
With a willing partner you can get a neo traditional approach in place.
Both work
Both do house chores
No time to cook, take out
Doesn’t work out, pre written agreements that I don’t take your stuff and you don’t take mine.
All glued together by a cohesive idea that we are doing all this because we really want to be together. The main premise of even trying to get into a relationship after all
besides the darth vader scene rogue one was mediocre
Yes, but they’ll just say, “You like her because she’s not black.” Etc etc
Don't forget the more we are forced to suck this shit up, the less we want it, so after all of this time, what was considered 'meh' is now turbo mega shit because we're sick of it
people who think the hate is coming from a racist point of view need to take a look at star trek the next generation , this show has a very multicultural cast and all the characters are well written and lovable with that good 'ol 80's theatrical dialogue

Yep. It's one thing to introduce a bunch of cool new female/'dIvErSe' characters. It's quite another to make it so blatantly one-sided (TFA, TROS, Solo, Ahsoka, Acolyte), to tear down all the previous male leads as being incompetent/overshadowed or even downright bad (Obi-Wan, Boba Fett, Mando, TLJ), and to make them all such unbearably copy-paste girlbosses that will never face adversity that actually impacts them. It's so noticeable and boringly predictable at this point that even South Park parodied it. And now when people send a clear message back, let's see what Disney does with it... Oh look, what a surprise: fan-baiting, blaming others to cope for their own incompetence and being out of touch, calling the people that made the franchise great to begin with toxic ists 'n phobes. It's so unbelievably petty this shit couldn't have been headed by anyone other than women (yes, shots fired; you've had close to a decade now and billions of dollars to prove us wrong, and what did ya choose to do, what did ya do, Disney?)

It's not blatantly anti-male but, the real problem is that it's rewriting starwars canon.

There have always been girl fans of Star Wars. Back then it wasn't considered a boy thing, it was an everyone thing. I remember all the little girls on the playground after Return of the Jedi came out wanted to be Princess Leia, me included. The difference from now is the female fans liked Star Wars as it was. Sure, we might have liked to have a few more women characters to choose from, but we loved the series, characters, and weren't looking for changes. We didn't need to be pandered to, the writing was already good enough to appeal to all kinds of people. I don't appreciate being told I'm a toxic man for being an old school female fan that appreciates good writing.
Asmond is right about trust. In 1986, the surprise reveal of Samus being a female if you beat the game under 5 hours was received extremely well. People were shocked, hype and thought it was badass. Boys in school talked about it and loved the character even more.

Disney bought the Star Wars Universe without knowing what a Universe is. They released a sequel trilogy without any pre-planned, overarching story. They release show after show on the same terms: whoever is in charge of that show gets to make up canon. Politics and everything else aside, that is absolutely bonkers to me.
Maximal incompetence. Infuriatingly mind-boggling.
I was just thinking this today. Disney is used to simple properties where lore isn’t important. They want the lowest common denominator to get normies to go to the theme parks and buy merch, that’s it. Storytelling is irrelevant
I think it comes back to the stupidity of agendas in TLJ. TFA was made to establish the elements for TLJ. TLJ divided the fandom. Everything since is trying to build on or justify their take on the sequels by way of nostalgia bait or agenda.
@Ruylopez778 That was the consequence, but that's the thing: "elements." Why not "this is the main storyline, y'all flesh out the details"? Weird.
The day the loose their rights on this franchise I will celebrate for days
"Its not that a big of a deal for them to change lore because they've already changed so much, it's just one more thing, right?"
Hold that energy when you're talking about rings of power season 2 in a couple months. 🙄
"I mean my bf has already hit me dozens of times, what's one more?"
I feel like you’re misinterpreting what he was saying in that moment. “Retcon == Bad” is not absolute. The crux of the issue at hand is that these retcons do nothing to make the story better and in fact make them worse. Lucas himself has a number of retcons as did the extended universe but *generally* they were in service of telling a better story and thus got a pass. Tldr; if the story was better few people would care about minor revisions but it sucks so its another piece of tinder to add to the pile.
He will. He stated multiple times that he just views dumb sequels as fanfiction. I honestly also got into that train of tought after he mentioned it. Instead of wasting my time on multi-million dolar fanfiction movies I'll just find some novels from authors online that actually care about and like the franchise.
RoP can't change the lore.
@@timothymartensen9040yeah sure... black elves wasnt changing anything at all... even the books said how elves were supposed to be and they were able to do that and dont care at all
They had 10 writers writing this story..... That's why shit never made sense.
I agree that eventually we'll get better but it's pretty funny that years of this downfall has been going on with Disney which is one of the huge entertainment companies in the world, and they are still doing it. It's like Disney is trying to really drive home the definition of insanity for everyone.
