I am one of those people that have not watched a single second of the Acolyte but have watched all of the drinkers anecdotes about it. Very entertaining from this vantage point!
I have watched a few minutes and how ever many minutes from the clips from Nerdrotic, Disparu, Critical Drinker and Star Wars Theory. I don't watch Star Wars Theory as much because he talks mainly SW and I am not that into it. But he does have good points and goes at it more from the lore since that is what he mainly focuses on. Sometimes I don't understand because as I said. I am a casual SW fan
Same here. I'm in the group that hasn't watched 1 second of this crap show. But I have watched about all of the videos letting us know how bad it is. It's hilarious.
She's being told by all her friends and associates that this is all about racism and so on. Somebody probably told her to make that diss track video and they all cheered her on and told her it was a great idea and she is the good guy here and should be proud of herself. So, yeah, she's in her own bubble with her huge ego, but she's also surrounded by people reinforcing all her views of the world around her.
The fact that the video she made is still on Yt tells you exactly what you need to know about Yt 💀 because they don’t let that slide at alllllll on the other end
Nah, nothing so complex. This is simply the behaviour of ALL women. They cannot take responsibility or stand accountable. Just female behaviour. You will learn this very well when you grow up.
And nothing says "I despise you idiots" like combing your hair while in a disinterested voice telling everyone how much you deserved a second season but that it was denied by the haters,
"I live in the bubble of my own reality." WE KNOW. You all do! Nothing worse than a nepo-baby actress moonlighting as an activist pretending as though she understands the plight of the common man.

To your point at 5:00, Drinker: simply put, they can't. I had a coworker who was 18 and a lesbian--kind of their target audience. She HATED this show. She went on one hell of a rant to me because she had to let it out. She hates all this modern pandering. Among the things she said, "It's fine if you want to have a gay character, but as long as it's not the ONLY thing about them! I'm MORE than just my sexuality! And plus, we hate people who are in it just for attention!" I laughed and said, "But, don't you feel 'sEeN'?!" She angrily shook her head no. "Seen by WHAT? Another snarky, unlikable girlboss who hates men? No!" My response, "I tell ya, girl, it warms my cold, dead, blackened icy heart to hear you say that."
the only people I've met who weren't pissed off with the show also admitted to watching it after a full shift (nightshfit too), and also an unspecified number of beers down while basically trying to fall asleep. and the only thing they actually had kind words for was the "action scenes" being "kinda cool"
*"kind of their target audience."* Same. I'm very much part of the LGTBQ group, and this shit was entirely unwatchable. This DEI pandering is bullshit and not what we want either.
They don't want to. They know they're lying (well, maybe not all of them, but most of them), what they don't know is that they're just repeating the propaganda that was vomited to them by their overlords. Also, if your coworker tells them what she thought of the show, she would immediately be confirmed as an enemy and thus, homophobic.
This type of pandering is basically the same as going out to athlets on the start line and saying: - Hey, everybody, this is Whateverthename Doe, they/them are queer and tick a lot of boxes, so while you all run, they/them will ride to the finish in a racecar. No-no, honey, you're oppresed, so you should not use your legs, sit down and relax, our driver will help you be seen. It actually robs you of any accomplishments, strengths and personal traits, working the exact opposite way it claims to. The only people who like it and agree to it are those who've got zero of those and therefore can't be robbed.
Anyone remember the music video " My best friend Plank" Plank was everyone's favorite character. Notice that whenever the kids looked for answers and safty it was always Plank.

@@RyanThompson-l7j when I originally wrote it I wanted to change it to «many whinings« but the comment did that thing where it doesn't immediately populate and I thought it had been lost to the aether. Thanks for helping correctly my poor wording.
I absolutely love the videos actors make when something goes wrong for a show. They’re always acting as if it’s not a big deal; doing their hair, putting makeup on, etc. They care so little about the drama, yet the fact they’re making a video at all shows they care so much.
They're running damage control, trying to deflect the blame for their horrid failure in the hopes that their hateful narrative and accusations against the fans will be believed so they get hired again. But after more than half a decade of the same excuses I have to start wondering how effective those excuses really are. Surely they must be wearing real thin by now.
Seriously. She's already been paid. I'm sure it's disappointing knowing your gig is up but imagine the hubris and butthurt that built up before she started recording. You know she was sitting there seething.
They're paid to do this by the studios. Part of an attempt at damage control. No way Ewan actually gave a fuck but once a check is dangled in front of his sellout nose he suddenly has the motivation to chastise the audience.
This era of living has really convinced me that pride really is the deepest of sins. These people are so full of it that they cannot possibly, under any circumstances, be wrong. Not in what they were making, not in what it came to be, and not in how people reacted to it. Their pride has inflated their ego so deeply that critique or improvement, even in the long term, is impossible.
The age old hypocrisy Disney wants to sell a product, but they want to accuse their target audience of the worst things they can come up with if it ends up not being profitable. And the product is Disney telling their target audience that they're the worst things the showrunners and writers can come up with.
Perhaps she should instead complaint to and blame all those "modern audiences" this show was clearly made for, for not showing up and making it a roaring success instead. I mean, a bunch of vitriolic hyper-conservative trolls and bigots surely cannot have that much sway over the opinions of millions and millions of people!
The Acolyte, Concord, Dustborn, Rings Of Power S2, Star Wars Outlaws. We had peak woke and peak failure, yet they still blame non existing 'fans' for their own arrogance and malice.
Mace Windu and Lando Calrissian are still well liked to this day by the community. Amandla MADE the fans hate her even more than the character she played. Its one thing to get a bad role and the fans would have understood, but to attack the fans under false agendas is not forgivable.
Thats why this whole racist feminist agenda blows my mind, Mace was genuinely one of the best prequel characters and Leia ran the show they just cant accept this sucks
Don't forget that everybody also loves Finn. He is a great character and its awesome they put him in as a black storm trooper. Ahaha J/K Finn sucks. That whole trilogy blows and everything tied to it. I hat the stupid alien with the glasses, she was so annoying. I hate that stupid scene where they are in a casino in The Last Jedi. That was so pointless and didn't make any sense. How the heck are you able to dive out of a pursuit to go meet Benicio Del Toro. I dont understand. That is just like in episode 2 what the these death sticks???
That's what happens when we elevate these people instead of sending them to prison for cultural vandalism and destroying the social fabric of the country. She shouldn't just be told no... She should be in prison.
Stenberg’s acting reminds me of a famous Gary Larson cartoon. It’s multiple identical frames of an open-mouthed Golden Retriever, each with the same vacant expression, and labeled variously for the emotions they supposedly show: curiosity, fear, love, joy, fury, etc. All the same. Far more impressive is her massive sense of self-entitlement.
Monitor? That’ll be a mirror there, that’s she’s gazing into with complete adoration at the gorgeous and talented divine being she sees reflected there
Studio’s have cancelled shows (movies, sitcoms, etc.) for decades, often for no apparent reason, against fan wishes, even popular shows, etc. It’s just how show business rolls. This show arguably had more reasons to cancel it than many others in the past. She should be glad that season one was even finished.
This reminds me of the time when Elizabeth Banks blamed men for the box office failure of Charlie's Angels and not the women who didn't show up to watch
@@crazyralph6386 I think that one was more in line with the "no one asked to see four wannabe female comedians in one movie" thing. Whereas Charlie's Angels was always female centered. But the difference is that none of her actresses were popular with audiences, unlike the Charlie's Angels directed by McG. All the women in his movies were genuinely liked and known by everyone.
That is the beauty of "racism" as a shield from critique of one's poor performance - it demands zero introspection, no alteration in course and furthers the feeling you are perfect, the problem is others.
No, its not, because blaming others won't get her any more acting roles. Her carier in acting is done and burried, coping and blaming others will do nothing. Remember Tatiana from She Hulk, yeah, she only got like a minor role as a voice actress and she blamed the audience too. Like what do you think making up excuses will help at ? Studios know they are not good actors, they won't hire them for anything. Most fans don't even give a fuck about their tantrums anyway. Like yeah, she is making noise calling people ists and fobes, what is that achieving ?
People don’t like social media. I love it. It has exposed these celebrities as ignorant, arrogant, narcissistic, and so ungrateful. I think social media overexposure has done more to destroy the myth and mystique of Hollywood than we ever could.
There was a reason the studios kept their talent on a short leash during the Golden Age of Hollywood. They understood the need to keep them somewhat mysterious and only release info through a tightly controlled public relations machine. They knew full well how damaging it could be if fans were allowed to "meet their heroes".
'Bubble of her own reality' Applies so perfectly for everyone involved in the creation, production, writing, and most of the performances in this 'not renewed' series. Iger, Kennedy and none of the others at Lucasfilm and Disney will admit to their failures, only spout on about the big bad evil fans. So tired that they continue to get away with spewing their bigotry, racism, and vitriol on social media.
I think most celebrities are in a bubble of their own world, have their own fantasy of what they think is great and what they expect to be given to work for it and if it fails rule 1 2 and 3 is never accept blame.
Remember these people exist within am image they have if themselves that they are forcing on you. If that image is broken and/or challenged is when they attack you, and accuse you of things you are likely unparty to...
I agree with Despot's take on their surprise at failing. Even if may seem Hollywood is intentionally destroying itself, it's not. These people are genuinely expecting normal people would like their crap.
11:10 the audience she expected to support her show doesn't exist - the people who liked to proclaim how wonderful this show will be never bothered to watch it and have no interest in watching sci-fi tv shows.
I appreciate that you guys aren't going too hard on the girl and are trying to understand her headspace. She's definitely just a young lady whose ideals got in the way of common sense. Heart is in the right place, but her head's all mixed up by her environment. Thanks again guys for being gentlemen even though insults are getting tossed on you by that crowd. Just remember the high road is always a tougher journey.
If not really watched your videos until the manifesto this week but I am really enjoying your viewpoints and now bingeing your output. Your epilogue on this one is perfect. We would have loved to love it and it would have got S2, 3 etc. but they just gave us a hopeless script.
I am so tired of the entitlement and blaming of everyone else in Hollywood. Not all shows make it past a year. Heck, most shows don't make it past the pilot. I was just watching an interview with Jewel Staite where she talked about how grateful she was for the short time she had making Firefly. She had nothing but wonderful things to say and even thanked the fans for keeping it alive, even though it was only on for one season and has been off for so many years. We need more actresses like her!
Robert Meyer Burnett, George Orwell answered your question about "What do the Sith want?" in 1984. "The object of power IS POWER." People who seek power only have the goal of gaining, compiling, and maintaining their power.
Yeah, that's exactly what they want. I don't know why people keep wanting complex villains when the Sith from the get go have and will always be about power and how it corrupts. Of course there are interesting and unique Sith, but their goals generally are the same to amass power to rule their own empires.
The crazy part is all these Holywood people insult and deride their fan base, calling them racist, sexist, etc. But then also complain they didn't watch their shows. Did they want such "horrible" people to watch their stuff and be their fans? You can't say every one who didn't like your show is bad and then some how come off as good for wanting their money.
They literally told people, "we didn't make this for you we made it for a new audience. " Then, they are infuriated when the unwanted masses didn't watch. They can f right off.
@@ronnimm6456 It is one the funniest parts of modern holywood logic. "I can't enjoy X because I don't see myself in the characters". Then they remake the entire project to better reflect themself, then complain when other people don't watch it. If they truly believe you can only enjoy a main character that looks exactly like you, why are they surprised the majority don't watch their drivel? By their own logic men of any kind, Hispanics, etc all can't enjoy the Acolyte because it doesn't look like them.
What is baffling is that she actually said that everyone nowadays is living in echo-chambers which is sort of agreeable but she cannot reflect and comprehend that she lives in an echo-chamber too
Oh no she starts the video saying just that, that she lives in her own bubble, so there's some trace of self-awareness there. I hope she realizes some things further down the line and fixes her career. We need new actors and creative voices in Hollywood, but not like this.
My favorite star wars to date is a fan video series on TH-cam called "space janitors". The main characters are space janitors on the death star and it gives their perspective.
The problem is that rank losers have been made to feel like they are important and owed by everyone. Imagine a convenient store owner blaming others for the non-sale of his crappy goods.
Imagine a Star Wars fan believing that his wishes should be respected by people who own or created the IP. I hear it all the time about how even George Lucas doesn't have any proprietary interest in Star Wars and how it belongs to the fans. I get it, but it's as out of touch as the gal in this vid.
@@cobbler88 Expecting entertainment to entertain in return for your money is not out of touch, at least if you were born last century when that was still a thing. In the end a product does belong to the consumers, for without them it goes extinct. They can try and make Coke taste more like Pepsi, but risk losing their existing customer base as happened.
@@stephenw2992 Yes. There ARE consequences with meddling with an IP. And it's the studio's right to do so. It does not belong to the consumers, who do support these franchises but don't do dick to actually produce the movies and have absolutely no skin in the game. Take care.
@@cobbler88 The consumers certainly dont do dick these days because they dont even fund the rubbish any more. The company does have a fiduciary duty to the shareholders though which tends to be tied to consumer behaviour. Those are the real owners of the IP and unlikely to have invested in order for woke to send them broke. Either way I dont care. Its great content watching them burn.
Imagine a Disney exec thinking their wishes should be respected by the people who have financially supported their IP for literal decades. The fans may not own the IP, but if you churn out mediocre slop the existing fanbase doesn’t like, then your sales suffer and you have to reign your trash ideas in to try and bring the ship back on course. You fuckin’ smoothbrain.

I had no problems with Billy Dee Williams as Lando Calrissian, Samuel L Jackson as Mace Windu, Carrie Fisher as Princess Leia, heck even James Earl Jones voicing Darth Vader - the Acolyte broke canon in ridiculous ways, and suffered from terrible writing, directing and acting - some characters were "wasted" others were so poorly written you could have eliminated them and it would have tightened up the pace - to fix obvious holes in the "plot" they introduced ridiculous MacGuffins - I could go on - it was a 90 minute murder mystery with no mystery stretched out to 400 minutes - and there is no way this looks like $180,000,000 - and it had terrible viewership and lost a lot of money - those are some of the reasons why it was heavily criticized and not renewed - and HISHE summed this up nicely in less than 2 minutes.
These 'creators' and actors working in Hollywood today (and in media) live in an echo chamber; they are fully out of touch with society, don't understand the source material, don't care about it, and are bad at communicating with the public generally. So, when their project is shat upon and rejected, they are genuinely shocked. It's amazing to see it happen in real time.
How does someone acknowledge that they "live in a bubble of their own reality" and not even ATTEPMT to look outside of it?? Willful ignorance for the sake of feeling morally superior?
There's no point in going in too hard on her. She's a simpleton who lives in a different world to the rest of us. She can't conceive of anything outside her own little echo chamber. She even admits it in the video.
Is might sound childish to a degree…but I am proud of our society. Not the society they try to show on TV and social media, but actual society. We have seen a show that openly advocates for evil and our society in almost mass unison rejected it.
Just like society rejected Dustborn, the most overtly evil game perhaps ever made. It's wondrous to see but shows how powerful the woke minority is that they control the government ( ATM at least.... Here's hoping)
The Verge, like many companies, is only great because of the culture between you and other eager, and talented creatives. Strip that away, and it operates not unlike a mafia. Your value is tied to your latest contribution, and there’s pressure not to leave or compete-or face the consequences. It’s great that you’ve broken free and are now taking control of your creativity and its rewards.
Like it was said before for those who post all over social media that they are angry it didn't get a second season. They should have made a real effort to go out and promote it, to everyone they know and spread the word around instead of just expecting people who liked the original trilogy or prequels of Star Wars to watch a show that dumps on what came before it.

Anyone remember the music video " My best friend Plank" Plank was everyone's favorite character. Notice that whenever the kids looked for answers and safty it was always Plank.

I am awesome.
Your refusal to recognize my awesomeness only serves to prove how awesome I am.

I absolutely love the videos actors make when something goes wrong for a show. They’re always acting as if it’s not a big deal; doing their hair, putting makeup on, etc. They care so little about the drama, yet the fact they’re making a video at all shows they care so much.
They're running damage control, trying to deflect the blame for their horrid failure in the hopes that their hateful narrative and accusations against the fans will be believed so they get hired again. But after more than half a decade of the same excuses I have to start wondering how effective those excuses really are. Surely they must be wearing real thin by now.
Seriously. She's already been paid. I'm sure it's disappointing knowing your gig is up but imagine the hubris and butthurt that built up before she started recording. You know she was sitting there seething.
They're paid to do this by the studios. Part of an attempt at damage control. No way Ewan actually gave a fuck but once a check is dangled in front of his sellout nose he suddenly has the motivation to chastise the audience.
This era of living has really convinced me that pride really is the deepest of sins.
These people are so full of it that they cannot possibly, under any circumstances, be wrong. Not in what they were making, not in what it came to be, and not in how people reacted to it. Their pride has inflated their ego so deeply that critique or improvement, even in the long term, is impossible.
Good observation. I agree.
Very true. Lucifer fell as an angel for because of his pride. You can't get worse than that.

Disney wants to sell a product, but they want to accuse their target audience of the worst things they can come up with if it ends up not being profitable. And the product is Disney telling their target audience that they're the worst things the showrunners and writers can come up with.
Perhaps she should instead complaint to and blame all those "modern audiences" this show was clearly made for, for not showing up and making it a roaring success instead.

Mace Windu and Lando Calrissian are still well liked to this day by the community. Amandla MADE the fans hate her even more than the character she played. Its one thing to get a bad role and the fans would have understood, but to attack the fans under false agendas is not forgivable.

Thats why this whole racist feminist agenda blows my mind, Mace was genuinely one of the best prequel characters and Leia ran the show they just cant accept this sucks

Raygun of acting.
Stenberg’s acting reminds me of a famous Gary Larson cartoon. It’s multiple identical frames of an open-mouthed Golden Retriever, each with the same vacant expression, and labeled variously for the emotions they supposedly show: curiosity, fear, love, joy, fury, etc. All the same.
Far more impressive is her massive sense of self-entitlement.

Studio’s have cancelled shows (movies, sitcoms, etc.) for decades, often for no apparent reason, against fan wishes, even popular shows, etc. It’s just how show business rolls. This show arguably had more reasons to cancel it than many others in the past. She should be glad that season one was even finished.

This reminds me of the time when Elizabeth Banks blamed men for the box office failure of Charlie's Angels and not the women who didn't show up to watch
They’ve been doing this since Wokebusters in 2016.

That is the beauty of "racism" as a shield from critique of one's poor performance - it demands zero introspection, no alteration in course and furthers the feeling you are perfect, the problem is others.
No, its not, because blaming others won't get her any more acting roles.
Her carier in acting is done and burried, coping and blaming others will do nothing.
Remember Tatiana from She Hulk, yeah, she only got like a minor role as a voice actress and she blamed the audience too.
Like what do you think making up excuses will help at ?

People don’t like social media. I love it. It has exposed these celebrities as ignorant, arrogant, narcissistic, and so ungrateful. I think social media overexposure has done more to destroy the myth and mystique of Hollywood than we ever could.
There was a reason the studios kept their talent on a short leash during the Golden Age of Hollywood. They understood the need to keep them somewhat mysterious and only release info through a tightly controlled public relations machine. They knew full well how damaging it could be if fans were allowed to "meet their heroes".

'Bubble of her own reality' Applies so perfectly for everyone involved in the creation, production, writing, and most of the performances in this 'not renewed' series. Iger, Kennedy and none of the others at Lucasfilm and Disney will admit to their failures, only spout on about the big bad evil fans. So tired that they continue to get away with spewing their bigotry, racism, and vitriol on social media.
I think most celebrities are in a bubble of their own world, have their own fantasy of what they think is great and what they expect to be given to work for it and if it fails rule 1 2 and 3 is never accept blame.
Remember these people exist within am image they have if themselves that they are forcing on you.
If that image is broken and/or challenged is when they attack you, and accuse you of things you are likely unparty to...
"Watch my performance and lavish me with praise, you Austrian painter admirers."

What is baffling is that she actually said that everyone nowadays is living in echo-chambers which is sort of agreeable but she cannot reflect and comprehend that she lives in an echo-chamber too

when unrealistic people fail (especially spectacularly), you look around for other people to blame. that's why they're pointing the finger at critics.
These 'creators' and actors working in Hollywood today (and in media) live in an echo chamber; they are fully out of touch with society, don't understand the source material, don't care about it, and are bad at communicating with the public generally. So, when their project is shat upon and rejected, they are genuinely shocked. It's amazing to see it happen in real time.

"violent rampage of hateful racists attacked us" is a really weird way of describing people simply not buying your product.
How does someone acknowledge that they "live in a bubble of their own reality" and not even ATTEPMT to look outside of it?? Willful ignorance for the sake of feeling morally superior?
There's no point in going in too hard on her. She's a simpleton who lives in a different world to the rest of us. She can't conceive of anything outside her own little echo chamber. She even admits it in the video.
