They cancelled Firefly after one season, and it was excellent. Cry me a river that this POS got cancelled.
They cancelled a better show with a bigger star for Fireflop to even be aired because the head of Fox at the time was a friend of Whedon. Stop carrying a torch for a male Feminist.
@@FirestreakRodimusPr
Whedon had strong creative vision but his kryptonite was H-wood cokefueled adoration.
@@FirestreakRodimusPr You've obviously never seen the show.
If it can reassure you, the series was entitled to a conclusion in the form of a film called “Serenity”, and which is very, very good.
I think it was Gary who implied that Joss himself was the reason. I don't know any details, though Joss is certainly a garbage person; maybe he ticked off some people?
The irony of a "journalist" telling someone asking questions adds no value
You watch a guy cries about a star wars show lol
Its bc no one in the writer's room asked questions while making this show. Good questions might've led to ironing out some of the obvious problems, but we can't have that now can we.
@@Pilot646
Cope and seethe 😂😂😂
@@Pilot646 Well, you write sentences like an orangutang.
lol
“You’re not worth my time” but takes time out of her “busy” day to respond
“You’re a questioner” as an insult is so telling. STOP THINKING AND CONSUME BIGGOT.
Cluster-Bs gonna Cluster-B. And propaganda work comes naturally to them.
Nothing but gaslighting.
It's the no one cares and reads what you say...From the person who cared enough to read and comment back that no one cared ;)
She is a ‘journalist’ criticising someone for asking questions.
It is pure hypocrisy.
The power of woke
The power of bigotry
The power of cancellation!
The people have spoken, Hollywood
Your show sucks, your acting sucks, your premises suck, your message sucks, you suck.
The key is to stop, stop sucking. But you can't, you are committed to all the suck, every suck, because you suck.
Where I come from we are taught to embrace the suck, make it work for you as it hardens you to life's reality.
But your suck isn't normal. It is sick, twisted, evil. Evil suck.
Kathleen Kennedy has effectively turned the Star Wars franchise into Lifetime for Women.
Nest on Lifetime: The evils of the white man and how to fight it.
so Lifetime?
@@LCARS-DATANODE Lol
I think you might have dissed Lifetime for Women with that comparison. 😂😂😂😂😂
It’s ironic, in their insistence to present “expectation-subverting” female characters in franchises, SJW showrunners end up stereotyping their own audience, by taking geek franchises and soap-opera-izing them. Geek properties always had a small but devoted female audience who liked them because of their geek properties, not in spite of them. By presenting masculinized female characters in soap opera roles, in science fiction with no science, they only succeed in losing everyone.
Narcissists always blame others for their own failures
A religious perspective would be that these "Raylo" girls are enchanted by evil, which causes them to want to be subjugated by the evil they love. It's amusing that for all the wannabee wiccans among them, they're completely oblivious to the "legal" mechanism of the Salem Witch Trials being sexually repressed, hysterical young women.
Cluster-Bs gonna Cluster-B.
Most of them are not even narcissists, because secretly they hate themselves as much as everyone else does
Also, the article to read: "Why People Become Narcissists, Gaslighters and Cult Members - The toxic joys of absolute self-soothing prejudice."
Of course, one has to check oneself mercilessly for using a "get out of jail free" card to not fall into the same trap.
@SterileNeutrino I think the ability to be self critical and be able to laugh at yourself is so important.
For some reason they always seem to be lacking in that.
If it wasn't so hilarious watching them fail time after time I'd feel sorry for them but I can't wait for the next giggle fest when they do it again. 🤣
"you're a relentless question asker" sounds like something 17th century dudes would say before burning a witch
Yeah Socretes, that fecking loser.
the only people who have a problem with someone asking questions is people who already have shit to hide, its like pleading the 5th youre clearly guilty of something other wise you wouldnt be pleading the 5th
I think the 17th century equivalent would be, "The lady doth protest too much, methinks!"
Bro the irony a journalist hates someones WHO ASKS QUESTIONS!! Lmao
Literally sounds like a phrase from a CCP struggle session during the Cultural Revolution wtf
A relentless question asker? Someone who calls themself a journalist is mad at a relentless question asker? That’s insanity
Worse, it's playing dumb as an excuse to keep bullying.
@@Xbalanque84 Nah, it's a mask-off where she's inadvertently revealing that she's in it for pushing an agenda, and not in it for journalism at all.

"Question Asker", that is a good description of a Journalist, something Alyssa Mercante knows nothing about.
Because she only gives answers and whoever don't agree with her answers is facist/racist/homophobe/bigot, depending on the topic

It's because she's told what to write anyway... She's a chief propogandist.

Who asked?
@@eddiebendigo7317 you did *GETS BACK HANDED*
@@billybadass3056 😭 nice
Yooooo I remember Ranma. Good times. Love old-school anime.
I'm old enough to remember when tons of Big 3 (ABC, CBS, and NBC) TV shows were cancelled mid-season and completely replaced - never to be spoken of again.... This is not new.
Anyone who thinks The Acolyte was well-written and deserves to be given another season knows absolutely nothing about writing fiction, writing good dialogue, writing for the screen, dramatic action, character motivation, or basic science. The Acolyte stands as a shining example of what not to do in episodic television. These "journalists" are children pretending to understand grown up problems. It's laughable.
At a certain point, it becomes foolish to ascribe stupidity or insanity to behaviors which are better ascribed to malice. *We passed that point years ago.*
I mean I know nothing about writing and even I can tell it was all contrived for the end scenes.
At this point you can tell chatgpt to write a full script for a stat wars show and it will be better than what they come up with. And much cheaper.
@@Noqtis And that is why AI is starting replacing these people's jobs already. 😂
_The Acolyte_ wasn't episodic television. It was a padded-out movie released in installments. It's one of the many problems with the show.
You've asked too many questions, Socrates. Here's your hemlock.
Even in the 70s, 80s and 90s, TV shows would be canceled mid-season.
What was missing back then, was all this identity politics and gender nonsense.
The difference is now 8 episodes costs $200M+.
@@barneymiller4088 Season 10 of Frasier (last season of a POPULAR show) cost 120 million$ for 24 episodes.
It's not a 1:1 fair comparison against a sci-fi show-- but it does illustrate how much something need not cost to be popular and entertaining all the same.
@@barneymiller4088Thing is, there isn’t a good reason for it to cost $25M per episode. Plenty of current day shows being shot outside the aegis of Hollywood that don’t. Heck, there are TH-cam series with higher production values than Disney’s recent crap and it doesn’t even cost a tenth as much.
There's a ton of shows I liked that got cancelled. These Acolyte fans are acting like whiny toddlers, and like this is the first time a show got canned
"Barbie needs an SMG, Call of Duty Barbie" like that hasnt been 90% of "action" movies theyve released over the last decade lol
They are doing that am I the only one that remembers rainbow bullets and I'm so sick and tired of every time I log on to the Battle log I get hit in the face with black lives matter and pride month shit.

All strategically placed to destroy the canon timeline and emasculate established characters.
Disney needs to lose both Lucasfilm and Marvel.
The Acolyte didn't make money, combined with low ratings. This used to be common sense.
Common sense goes out the window when the focus is on "the message"
According to the fans, Disney has the money to burn. They don't care that Disney lost money because Robert Downey Jr. is being paid $95 million for playing Dr. Doom.
The only recoup on the $180MM investment would be in new D+ subscribers. Zero people subscribed to D+ to watch The Acolyte, but I’m sure more than a few unsubscribed because of it. The merchandise is a total loss too.
Ah, common sense. That mythical creature never encountered by any SJW.
The "fans" of The Acolyte are toxic.
I laughed my ass off when I heard someone read out one of the acolyte shills statements that "the show didn't get time to breathe".
Well...internet "journo" with pronouns in the bio.. a stillborn show, doesn't need air or room in which to breathe. It only needs one room. Incidentally in that new ground that they broke with such an avant garde presentation of modern sensibilities.
These people think that falling out of a fucking tree rather than climbing down makes them pioneers in the art of motion.

Really appreciate her talking about black stone. The wokeness is a distraction from what big businesses are doing to us.

Hey, leave Blackstone alone. Best grill I’ve ever had
Corporations should be prevented by law from making residential properties (outside of apartment blocks or condos) part of their 'investment portfolios', it's so blatantly counter to the public interest, and the inaction of the government is just another give-way of the rampant venality and corruption among the so-called "representatives" in Congress.
Am I the only one who wants Disney to un-cancel the show and pour millions more down the drain so that the folks in this video can keep us entertained?
Im so proud, i didn't watch a single episode.
Expanded Univers is what keeped star wars alive for years. Disney flushed all that and now they painted themselves into a corner.
The old EU still lives in our minds and hearts, connecting the 6 original films together
Well, sorta.. they cherry pick from the Expanded Universe whenever they fkn feel like it, though. It's decanonized, yeah.. but only _certain_ things from _certain_ storylines. It's ridiculous.
@@VaderPopsVicodin10 And they manage to make it worse every time they steal from it.

I JUST WANT TO SEE THE YUUZHAN VONG FIGHT AGAINST JEDI
ARGH, I hate how I'll never get to see this. Never get to see Anakin Solo become a Paragon of the Light before sacrificing himself, see Chewy defy fear while watching a moon crash down on him, watching Jacen Solo turn into a Sith Lord, Jaina become the Sword of the Jedi and get trained by the most elite pilot and then trained by Boba Fett. There is so much they could have done. So many books to go off of and watch close to a dozen seasons of New Jedi Order tv shows.
If I could ever get a book turned into a movie it would be I, Jedi. Corran Horn is probably close to the BEST book I've ever read. The only first person written book with amazing arcs in it.

You know who is the marginalized group these days? Actual Star Wars fans. Those of us who have been around since 1977 have one question. WTF is wrong with Disney?
I feel marginalized. I don't feel seen OR heard. Please Disney... stop beating a dead taun taun.
I’ve been around since 2000 during the prequels but I knew the original trilogy was the best and the prequels sat comfortably next to them in second. But I remember when Star Wars was just a fun sci fi universe and not a bloated festering corpse at Disney.
@@maxmazzotti6651 I actually like the prequels more.
I will never forget being in the theater in October 1977 and being blown away by the opening fanfare, and the awe I felt as acres and acres of Star Destroyer roared by overhead. I was hooked. And when Darth Vader made his appearance, heralded by the ominous music, and strode through the bodies of dead Rebels, you knew this was the Big Baddie, and that he wasn't fucking around. For most of the movie I thought he was a robot, so mechanical did he look and act.
THAT was and will always BE Star Wars!
I hate it when Ryan speaks in code. He should say what he really thinks. 😂
Does he actually think, though?
He was snorting coke at 13:26, which explains his hyperactive blinking behavior.
@@Alexis-qb5zc you need to get a new coke dealer if you think that's a normal side effect

The biggest failure of the "modern audience" myth is the belief that the existing audience would stay if the core product changes to accommodate the attempt to bring in a "new" audience and/or enough "new" audience can or will be brought in to replace the inevitable amount of existing audience that leaves once that product changes.
Hey you wrote a proof! Axiomatic!
These are the same people who think cultures with conflicting values can simply live in harmony...No logic whatsoever with these types.
Weird since the Fallen Order and Jedi Survivor games were able to tell an interesting story and have a basically an entire cast of new characters and very few nostalgia characters AND be successful. Yeah it’s a game rather than a show but it still did something different that didn’t lean head and shoulders into nostalgia
The stories for those games were pretty boilerplate stuff, if we're being honest.
But I'd take that any day, and twice on Sunday, over the garbage that is Disney Star Wars.
The games get a ton of leeway because the gameplay is fun, which I’m fine with. TV shows and movies don’t get that same leeway, they need to be much better written to keep a viewer’s interest.
@@samael4550 I agree which is why I admitted there is a difference in the media but regardless we shit on bad games just as much as bad movies. If Jedi Survivor “ruined” Star Wars people would be crying about it, but it didn’t it was just another Star Wars story as opposed to some agenda driven vanity project bullshit
HEY! I do not want to hear SHIT about how WHAHHHHHHH, it got cancelled after one season! One of the VERY BEST Sci Fi series only got one season! Firefly had AN ORDER OF MAGNITUDE better production values ACROSS THE BOARD, and got one season! so boo hoo to the Acolyte!
The only thing that The Acolyte broke was wind.
I think it broke a lot of inverse records, like worst in ... worst of ... worst to ... worst for ...
Acolyte broke your sucks you do a joke you are.
13:50 It DID break grounds, but those grounds just happened to be the foundation of the franchise.
just launch a counter petition and show them the real numbers
OR, bring back teh Acolyte so we have more content creators making fun of it, and instead of half an hour of semi watchable content we get hours and hours!

Villain Romance can rot in its own circle of hell, but it's not Star Wars.
Making Star Wars should be a process of competitive excellence. That's what's so damned frustrating - the corpo suck, insider access, favoritism, mediocrity, and profound confusion about what makes a decent story.
I love how (so far) I havent seen Skaaskard attacking people for hating Crow remake
Straight White Males aren't allowed to attack anyone but themselves.
cause even a dog sniffs his shit before waking away!
The former writer told the audience to stay away and spend their money on something like Deadpool and Wolverine. He is basically doing what Bill Cosby(kaff kaff) did for 1987’s Leonard Part 6, in which he told the audience to stay away and spend their money elsewhere.
Cause he knew it was bad
That's because he's a NORMAL person, and not an emotionally unstable and overtly pampered, entitled, and lazy cultist from the modern left
I’m still amazed that they felt comfortable enough to make that ‘There Are More Of Us’ video. They really believed that shit. You just know there was a tiny number of IT guys that had unleashed the Social Media Bot Armies and they knew the truth. And the few tech-savvies were looking at each other like, “Do you think we should tell them?”
They like to play the optics game.
Until reality comes a knocking and reveals that they are not what they claim.
"Relentless Question Asker" t-shirt needed.
What I love the most is that, because of their woke pandering, they have inadvertently shown that they support men’s rights when it comes to parental rights.
Think about it. The obvious “woman” in the relationship of Osha/Mae parents says “I carried them for 9 months” while trying to convince Swirly-head McBipoc to let her make the choice for their futures. And what does Swirly-head McBipoc do, she says “I created them”, and then proceeds to ignore the wishes of the mother.
So, even in the Lesbian Space Witches Super Awesome Super Flammable Space Retreat, actual mothers need to learn to shut the hell up and get in line.
Corproate marketing and political activists have been padding their numbers on the size of the LGBT community for at least a decade. Its one reason they have consistently expanded it from LGBT to LGBTQIAA+. They are only now starting to - *very quietly* - revise it down. (E.g. Recently saw studies putting the percentage of homosexuals at under 4%, when 10% was what they regularly cited in the 2010s.)
But for a long time they have pushed the idea that this demo is about 20-25%. In reality I would expect all total it comes in at under 10%.
And it sounds like this is what the Acolyte drew. 10% of star wars fans.
You are being too generous perhaps? Under 2% total, if that.
They live in Hollywood, so tbf, the percentage in their daily lives IS probably that high. But they’re obviously out of touch with normal people in the rest of the country.
I never heard of MadamSavvy before, but she was a GREAT guest!
I’m really starting to believe that George put Kennedy in charge as a “fuck you” to all of the prequel haters.
I am almost certain of this bro. He has that "revenge served cold" vibe lol
Wrong, people like Nerdrotic and Drinker bullied George so much he sold it to KK so it could be ruined. So in truth, Nerdrotic and company ruined the series.
@@maxmazzotti6651 Right, before any social media existed which was when those movies came out? Get lost. They were critically panned at the time but nice attempt at revisionist history.
He was pulling a Haim Saban. Sell a hugely profitable brand but ensure that it would never achieve the same heights by crippling it with KK as a contractual obligation... Then years later, pick it back up for cents on the dollar and bring it back to a billion dollar franchise, ending up as the hero.
Problem is, he didn't anticipate KK drilling it so hard into the ground he literally has nothing left to buy back.
@maxmazzotti6651 haha, you think those two have that much sway.
Please dont dump the Anti-War protesters with the other lots.
Been a stout follower of nerdrotic and the fight against all the DEI bullshit
They have to blame someone/something for their failure. $180 million is a lot of money to burn.
You cannot convince me that a large portion of the budget wasn't earmarked to feed Brick Face's crippling Wayfair cabinet addiction.
"Jedi Bad" or more like, "there are things to criticize about the Jedi" is not remotely a new thing. And there are very much things to criticize about the Jedi Order. The prequel/Clone Wars era explored a lot of those things, and a lot of those things were improved by Luke in his New Jedi Order. People that get pissy when you rightfully criticize the Jedi are just as silly as the diznee shills in some ways. That theme or whatever was not the problem with the Acolyte. The problem was that the people making it are reeeetarded, both hate and know nothing whatsoever about Star Wars, and are incapable of crafting an even half watchable story.
Prequel writing is looking better every day since Disney got Star Wars
@@maxmazzotti6651 sure is! I mean I love the prequels- the movies themselves and that whole era in general (very much excluding TCW as it is lore breaking, character-bastardizing trash) - but it is all looking better than ever these days.
Well, there’s a huge difference between questioning the methods and secrecy (a la KOTOR) and outright making the Jedi evil. When questioned before, it was always, “How did we go wrong, how did we allow this Jedi to fall to the Dark Side? Was it our fault?”
The Dark Side has always been the evil in the Star Wars universe. Jedi can and do fall to the Dark Side, but the Dark Side is the evil, not the Jedi Order themselves. The intentions of the Jedi always remain good despite them failing numerous times, and that’s what a lot of people like. When their intentions as a whole become nonsensical and evil, then people have issues, because they’re no longer the Jedi. They’re an allegorical insert for the status quo, a modern government, and Hollywood writers just NEED to subvert that. And people hate it, myself included. Just write Star Wars.
@@samael4550 Yes, completely agree with all that. It just when discussing the Acolyte disaster, a good amount of people sound like saying anything negative about the Jedi is woke or whatever and that's just utterly inaccurate and dumb
"...the power of many ... "
...ppl not watching... .. .
The acloltye is cw Star Wars with 200 mil budget
The original Star Wars (1977) cost 3 times as less than this whole show ADJUSTED for inflation (62 million dollars if you’re curious)

I don't think they're a small fraction of the Star Wars fandom...they'd have to actually be Star Wars fans to be part of the fandom.

Same thing they do with everything. It's never about the thing, it's about activism and pushing "the message". This phenomenon extends way beyond entertainment. It's in EVERYTHING
"Rats" comes from the Twilight Fandom. It comes from the Facebook meme group "Twilight Sewerposting."

Ryan killing it. "The modern audience DID show up."
Gotta love the Ranma 1/2 scores in this episode lol.
Glad I’m not the only one who caught that.
Do you know why all this “force is female” bullshit misses the mark? It’s in the original film from 1977.
Pay attention to Leia. Her first scene, you see her bent over R2D2, which comes back when you see her holographic message. The next scene, she shoots and kills a stormtrooper when she is outnumbered. The next scene, she throws shade at Vader and then lies to him about the plans. The scene after that, she throws shade at Tarkin, lies to him about the location of the Rebel base and then watches her home planet destroyed. In the scene after that, she throws shade at her guards, asking Luke, “aren’t you a little short for a stormtrooper?” Once out of her cell, she asks Han, “did you have a plan for getting out?” which was throwing serious shade at a rank amateur. She was the Cooler king in The Great Escape during those scenes.
Did you notice that she picked up a blaster from a dead stormtrooper like it was no big deal before that? That was a continuity error that wasn’t a continuity error. It didn’t need to be shown, to the right audience.
Leia was the one who decided “anywhere but here” was better than waiting for the stormtroopers to storm the detention block with greater numbers and went first into the garbage chute throwing shade at Han when she did it.
And watch her shots. She never misses. Every single time she fires, she hits and kills a stormtrooper. Leia has fire discipline, unlike Han and she aims like a trained soldier, unlike Luke. You even see her aim and not fire in one scene.
She makes the comment “it’s not going to do us a lot of good if he gets himself killed” when Han goes chasing off after retreating stormtroopers. That’s the kind of comment that comes from a sergeant in the old war movies.
She makes the comment “you came in that? I am impressed” when she sees the Falcon, which tells you she is used to top-of-the-line military vessels.
During the Battle of Yavin, she isn’t worried about Luke or any of the other pilots. She is listening to the messages coming in, wondering if she made a mistake by not ordering a withdrawal and debating whether or not to step in and relieve the commander, her underling. She was Ike in The Longest Day in that scene.
During the medal ceremony, she has a look that says, “I can’t believe you two dipshits pulled this off.”
They can’t write a strong female lead, because they already had one to model future female characters on. That’s why Jen in Rogue One worked and Rey didn’t. They had a flimsy backstory for both, but the untold backstory led to their actions for Jen and Leia, but not for Rey. They jumped from abandoned scavenger to bad-ass Jedi without any of the process in between to get there. It took Luke two films to get to what Rey was in the first sequel and that’s why it didn’t work.
If you want a successful strong female lead, give us the Leia backstory that shows how she was the disciplined soldier in the escape from the Death Star. Because from what I could see, Han & Luke only opened the door so she could escape.
90% of the audience heard “rescue the princess” and their brains pigeon-holed her into that weak, defenseless woman stereotype, so they never saw what I did. Lucas gave you the strongest female character in film and then stuck the idea into your head that made you not see what you were seeing. Leia even used it in Return of the Jedi when she showed Han the blaster when the stormtrooper was behind him, telling him to surrender.
That’s why Kathleen Kennedy and her morons can’t do what they are trying to do. They can’t follow the template of the understated bad-ass that Lucas wrote into Leia. He showed you her being the baddest of the bunch and told you she was the helpless princess who needing saving. Did you see it or did you buy the hype?
“The force is female” misses the point. Star Wars has feminist messages spread throughout it. The force is male & female. To quote Yoda, “that is why you fail” which if you missed it, he would have said as “why you fail, that is” using his normal pattern of speech. Every time he breaks his pattern of speech, it is an important line, such as “no, there is another” instead of “no, another, there is.”
That’s just my take on it. It could just be bantha poodoo, I suppose.
You may not have noticed how strong and well written Leia was, but your brain did.
@@bradcarver8127A shame what Johnson and Abrams reduced her to in their shitty sequel movies....
Keep in mind this woman is a happy merchant. Why are all these conservatives too afraid to call out these happy merchants with clapping hands and funny little hats?
'Conservative' has no meaning now, other than 'anyone even slightly right of psychotic-sociopathic left.' As for that lineage you hint about, no one ever mentions that no person can validly claim that heritage, and at the same time anyone can, because all their historical and personal records were very thoroughly destroyed by the Romans, intentionally, mid-first century A.D., C.E., in a successful attempt to destroy their nation.
Because this particular race of people are not a hive mind and aren't biologically predisposed to controlling the entire world.
Call the person out for being a garbage person with garbage ideas...Not some made up outdated funny mustache painter man delusion.
The target audience did show up for this show…the group is just TINY and that’s the point. It’s like making a show geared towards only conjoined twins…
The "Silent Majority" actually spoke by not watching their show. They are the "Vocal Minority" and the "Toxic Fanbase" that they are projecting on everyone else. If they actually had the sizable audience that they say they had, they'd have had the streams.
“A relentless question asker” sounds like the perfect candidate for journalism 🤷🏻♂️
Mercante is like a caricature of a real person. A badly written character.
So...A leftist.
Cluster-Bs gonna Cluster-B.
The High Republic was supposed to be the time when the Jedi were NOT blind and self centred, the Arthurian ideal.
If they were really interested in expanding the franchise instead of just planting their cult flag on it, we wouldn’t have got lame slash fic where the Jedi are evil because they must be the patriarchy because they have some authority.
10:00 I don’t really know this guy but he hit the nail on the head and it’s been the most interesting part of this cancellation. When a show markets itself on its diversity, and it’s cancelled, the people it was marketed towards (which isn’t just minorities, it’s people obsessed with identity, not all minorities are like that) see it as an attack on identity, not a business decision
Of course Lesley would be OK with "the girl in love with the bad guy", she worked with Harvey weinstein for years😂
Madam Savvy is a win for this stream.
It all started IMO with wanting something like Darth Revan, yet they proclaimed the EU didn't exist anymore since Disney took over. None of the decades of books, games, lore ever mattered.
YET After that, Ben Skywalker was stripped to make Kylo Ren. Even then they did it horribly.
Then we got this half good/half evil nonsense without any struggle or reasoning for said duality representing what Revan went through.
Instead of making up terrible plot lines, storytelling, and character creation - just do The Old Republic.
But they won't. They can't stick to a solid piece of work that fans love and adore - let's just take what we want and indoctrinate the rest with woke nonsense.
I'm so done with Star Wars.
The talking avatars are creepy af. Why to content creators do that
Vtubers. You want people to see your emotions, but not your face. Compromise
Disney fucked up by not following the books. Yuzan Vong would have been amazing
The YouZung Vong are really terrifying villains. Bio mechanical and savage. Basically a more intelligent version of Xenomorphs that are also like Predators.
YUUZHAN VONG
Stargate Universe was finding its footing, the writing was getting good, the cast gelling and caring about each other was coming across the screen into genuine moments, the plot getting really fun, and BAM canceled.....The Acolyte was complete propaganda garbage from the opening scene on...
SGU had an identity crisis at the start. It felt like it was trying to be Battlestar Galactica but with a CW twist. The writing did get better towards the end. I would have preferred to have a Stargate Atlantis movie or two instead of SGU.
“They blame the reaction.” Totally. They walk up and insult you, and get their phone ready to record you fighting back
50 shades, fan fiction is not going to save Star Wars.
It surely depends upon WHICH FAN? Because a whole bunch of em could surely do a whole bunch better!
The very worst thing they did was hand Star Wars over to amateur filmmakers. Put aside all the ideology for a minute. If Greta Gerwig directed and wrote The Acolyte, it would have been better. I still would have hated all the feminist messaging, but at least it would be of the quality we should expect.
It has quite a bit to do with the group of people assembled around someone, whether intentional or not, and the ability to organize the efforts. This era causes me to question everyone's success, or lack of it.
It certainly exposes Kathleen Kennedy as a huge fraud who obviously had no valuable input into any movies from back in the day.
She truly was just the coffee fetcher. 🤣
7:22 Tbf, some of them don't whine like that. They just send love letters to actual serial killers in prison.
As any normal person would do.
They bought Marvel and Star Wars to have male products. Everything except Aladdin was princess properties.
They bought it inorder to destroy it.
I think they bought Marvel and Star Wars and thought it was going to be a win-win for them, they were either going to make Star Wars the way they wanted and hope it would be popular and they would make money or it wouldn't make money and they would just sit on it and eliminate that kind of competition and the same with Marvel and Indiana Jones if they couldn't make money off of the properties they would not have to compete with them either.
But how did their target audience get lost? Star Wars feel off near instantly while it took until after Endgame to have Marvel fall off.
@@maxmazzotti6651 They lost their audience because 2011 board member retirements and George and Bob making the Kathleen deal.
Prior to that, investors voted on acquiring male oriented franchises to balance their business which was not very stable with the hit or miss young women demographic.
Aladdin was a princess. Change my mind.
As an Asian man, I gotta remind myself there are people like Ryan and they really do hate and disrespects us. We ain't gonna voice out like the woke crowd, but we need to remember we are not really part of the resistance. Just makes me care about this whole thing a lot less.
I'm not asain, but those comments were uncalled for
Almost $450 million into 2 shows (Secret Invasion and Acolyte) with poorly thought out and written stories directed by inexperienced creatives?
Where is the money actually going because it doesn't look like its into these shows? Thats the biggest story here.
Don't ask questions, just consume product
27:45 keeo in mind that the woke LED to the bad writing in this case. The very ending of Sol "taking agency aeay to the end" from his step-daughter mursering him reflects that.
cant wait to forget about this same as echo, willow, and batgirl
You made that last one up
Could someone send Disney a memo:
The majority of Starwars fans are not LGBTQetc... so if you make a movie that focuses on LGBTQetc... issues, you should probably expect it to fail.
I bet if everyone just ignores Alyssa Mercante she'll fade away.
When do collectivists EVER simply go away when ignoring them?
They PREFER that you ignore them. 🤣
So glad you folks are out there talking about the shit fill ing our screens and institutions.
2:36 Says, "you are not worth my time", goes out of her way to tell you and insult you. If a person is not worth your time, you don't reply to them, or comment on their page.
Hey man, you’re being too reasonable, come on.
There is no way the story is true that KK supposedly cried when she read the the script for this show, because if she did, that alone would qualify her to be fired and/or removed from her position. She should know horrible writing when she sees it.
Texas' Indian and Asian community stepped up to fight them in the housing market.
Can't say the results are desirable, but it would have been worse if those communities did nothing.
@23:30 its not just lack of respect of lore, it's more insidious with what postmodernists do and ties directly to their view of power dynamics and why good and evil seem upsidedown. To them the sith are oppressed therefore the good
can somebody explain how mike zeroh's channel is allowed to operate on youtube? i can only imagine all of his vids get reported for misleading
Can’t understand how he’s just gone over 400K subs, nothing on the channel has any merit.
@RyandlaKinelberg
Your user name is hilarious af
I've been actively avoiding such garbage since 2016.
