So many people missing the point... Tall tales and mythology are not supposed to be coherent stories, mske perfect sense or even always be entertaining. Sometimes frightening, disturbjng, or just provoking. Don't even TRY to tell me that mythology has to make sense all the time and mythology is what Star Wars IS
It’s a good thing this isn’t Star Wars then (because it isn’t), and once you stop coping and face up to it then you’ll realize we deserve better as fans than the drivel we’re getting. The fact that this passes as writing on any level is absurd.
@@TunezCottage lol, maybe if you let go of your hate and.... Wait. My bad. Hate is all. NOTHING can be enjoyed in the modern world. I bet you hated the season 2 finale of The Mandalorian too, right? It wasn't what YOU wanted so it sucked. That is the new norm. FYI? It didn't suck
What is the point of The Acolyte then? I don't even feel the need to point out that most stories, including the first 6 Star Wars movies are coherent and logically constructed.
You just defended the show by telling me it doesn’t need to be coherent to qualify as Star Wars, way I see it you didn’t reason your way to that opinion of yours so exactly how do you expect anyone to reason you out of it? The majority think you’re wrong, it’s on you to figure out why that is.
@@TunezCottage yeah, only haters are allowed to have double standards. I get it. I don't care if you dislike something. That is your right, until it gets taken from you anyway. My problem is that people screamed that the prequels and then Clone Wars 'killed' Star Wars. Um... uh... no. And as bad as this seems? Four words- 'Star Wars Holiday Special' If you think THIS is the worst, you don't know bad. This is nowhere close.
How many times do you have to see a movie to know it’s not going to be as good on repeat viewing? If that’s a skill that can be taught, I’d love to learn
Guy that plays sabretooth is Ajax in the movie Troy (2004) with Brad Pitt. Big recommend. Orlando bloom is in it too but he apparently hated playing the character of Paris.
The title of the video has been changed because although I touched on the topics involved, the amount of time spent on them did not warrant it being the lead title. As was pointed out to me in the comments.
EDIT: I retracted the comment because I decided to go back and look through the video thoroughly to see if it met the criteria of my title and it did not. You're right. I've changed it and will post a comment about it. Thank you for pointing it out.
I'm not a big fan of this show apart from liking the actor who played Sol, but the constant crying from these people. Do your own fan fic instead if you're going to whine about it so much.
We don't want to have to write our own Star Wars shows just to enjoy the series. Disney spent the money on Star Wars and on this show specifically and this is the best they can do. Of course people are gonna complain.
I'm not sure whats worse - the Acolyte show or these idiots hating on it as a part of their podcast - trolling is all you have? -That's not a flex..... Go find something else thats interesting instead of tearing down somebody else's work. 🙄
And for the record, I didn't find the show particularly entertaining - but I didn't stick around watching something just to 💩on it - change the channel
I also highly recommend Chaplin's best short film, A Dog's Life (1918). This really showcases the classic Chaplinesque storytelling style that he would use in his full-length masterpieces like City Lights and The Gold Rush. The version with Chaplin's score can be found by search for "a dog's life adrian a" on YT.
I will say a plus to watching some of this awful slop is it helps me learn what not to do in my own work lol Edit: Venom looks at the least visually good
"why would he say that sam isn't steve rogers?" Idk why does anybody on the internet say that exact thing? Its literally what everyone says. Im finding it hard to believe what you say. Im not even as much of a comic fanatic as you claimed to be, however... Isnt red hulk already in the mcu? Is where i start drawing the line to believe/take any of your words seriously. How can you be making vids like this, yet havent done a flick of research or even have the knowlege to back up what your saying as truthful opinions? Just sounds like your pulling shit of your own ass/other youtubers opinions. "Theres so much to keep track of" is the last thing a true comic fan/reader would say about the mcu. The mcu is the tip of the iceberg compared to how confusing the comics can get, the mcu would be like primary school work compared to the real deal that you claim to be so apart of ahahaha.
No I meant why would HE. What happened between the first scene we see between them and that scene when he’s flipped his attitude on a dime. Red Hulk might be in the MCU but I don’t remember having seen him (as red hulk) Ross has been in plenty. It might’ve been established in Falcon and the Winter Soldier when Thunderbolts was first teased but it’s just blank for me. Which part? You’re doing the same thing right now. Really? Because comics are not hard to keep track of. They reboot every decade and there are massive reading guides to get you up to date when you switch titles. The MCU however (and this is just the last two phases mind you) would take up near a hundred hours if not more to catch up on. A hundred hours of nothing. So unless you’re reading krakoa stuff, it’s not that confusing right now and heck krakoa is over so even there we’re soft rebooting.
@@TunezCottage are you serious bro... It's clearly two different scenes. As it shows Sam & Ross will have plenty. And oh 133 hours of MCU? And how long do you think it takes to read the entire comics? Lmao. That's why you don't have too... If you don't want too. There's plenty of other options to understand what happened in a certain film or TV show you ain't wanna watch, to get another project. That's how comics and the MCU has always been like. Laaaame reasoning
Funny, this show only has to kinds of ratings: 5 stars or 1 star. Nothing else. At this point it's a political battle, it's not entertainement anymore. The woke minds have to give the Acolyte 5 stars otherwise the right wing facist will win...It's so much BS, no one care for quality entertainment anymore.
Don’t get why political ideology has to be involved either. The world doesn’t revolve around the US. I mean the other day someone called me a chud which is kind of funny because I’m from Sweden… right-wing extremists here would still be called left leaning in the states. It’s heavily skewed left here regardless of where you’re at politically. And I’ve made it very clear I’m judging the writing, nothing else, but that gets lost in the mess that is the fan wars. It is messy though, I’ll give you that but tv and film have been through stuff like this before. The hays code in the 50s’ neutered movies and in the 80s’ no one wanted to show profanity or sexually explicit content like that of the 70s. Out of both we had some of the best tv and film to ever be made when a few directors and producers decided to go against the grain and that’ll happen again. It’s the cycle of life.
@@jordanthompson8268 I totally respect your outlook on this matter. However, The Original Fans and I agree that The Acolyte is truly great storytelling and the finale was the cherry on top.
I remember fans desperately trying to make sense of how the fire spread through the whole stone fortress, predicting that someone must’ve sabotaged the compound to rig an explosion & that it could not have been due to Mae’s tiny lamp alone. Fans were effortlessly coming up with better stories to explain away stupid scenes bc it was hard to accept that the show was THIS awful & they figured there must be more to the story that is being hidden from the audience until a later reveal. But it turns out that there was no twist to the fire, the writers are just that ret*rded. 😂 It’s so depressing that mostly all of the fan theories I saw were 100X better than the actual story we were given. I also read a theory before episode 3 about the twins actually being one person because Mae & Osha hadn’t been shown in the same scene yet & the one scene that included them both was oddly shot so fans thought the writers were providing us with a clue & that Osha was force projecting as Mae while she was locked up. “There MUST be something good here,” fans thought. “There’s NO WAY the show is actually this sh*t.” But it turns out…it was! No twists, it’s just sh*t.
They literally went out of their way to MAKE SURE this fat guy got his screen time. Literally has nothing to do with the show, has nothing to do with anything. Just “let’s put the camera on the fat Jedi real quick”
And he never showed up again! It's just pandering for the sake of crossing off a checklist. There's no reason a jedi should look like that when they train their whole lives to be warriors. Mentally and physically superior warriors. How? I don't get it.
Yeah I mean it’s so bad, even if it was used in Empire Strikes Back. A term having been used in a great movie doesn’t in anyway change the fact that there’s no reason for anyone in this sci-fi/fantasy to be using a colloquial term like that that hasn’t been established in any way shape or form. It’s bad writing, plain and simple.
@@TunezCottage I mean I see where you come from and tbh yes it was a little out of place but rly what could she have said that was better like see you later chump
There's a lot, I mean she doesn't need to say anything. I know the writers think everyone watching has 40 IQ but just a little smile or a head tilt would be enough. She could even say something like "see you down there." I mean there are so many better options.
that is INSANELY ironic coming from someone who defends a show that is objectively badly written and the only way to enjoy it is to genuinely have brain damage.
No Marvel isn't the problem, the problem is that you think everything Marvel puts out has to be made for you. If Agatha isn't for you don't watch it? It is really that simple.
Well, I AM a comic book collector. I READ books. I PLAY video games. I USED to love everything Marvel. If they’re not making it for me then who exactly are they making it for? Some Joe that has no interest in it? That will never go back and look at the history? That won’t visit the source material after seeing a movie or series? What exactly is the thinking there? It doesn’t make any sense. Why do you think so many people are furious? Huh? Because they’re alienating the very people that SHOULD watch their things, that SHOULD love them.
If any of that were true... Sam screaming "Isaiah!" You'd know exactly "who?!" He is.... Lmao. I'm not even that much of a comic collector, I just get into the comic lore and even I know who Isaiah is. @@TunezCottage
@@TunezCottage I’m sorry, is Billy Kaplan (Wiccan) not gay in the comics. That’s right, he is. Now, as for AGATHA’S story maybe you need to re-read or expand your collection. Continuing on, as a Disney employee for the past 12 years and a proud Marvel employee for the past 3 I can proudly and confidently say this, this show was not made for you. Furthermore, no show or film that has EVER been produced by our studio has been made for you. Ever. I’d step off of that high horse, before you fall.
Tell me about it. I’m laughing at it looking back in editing but while it’s going on it’s terrifying. But hey, more bad shows coming so we’ll cover those too.
The only pleasure from watching this series is reading your reviews. Well, I'll add mine: Osha was recently cut off from the Force, and suddenly she cums so much from the BDSM mask that even Kimir can barely take it off... And what kind of future did she see where May kills Sol? They want to tell us that she mistook herself for May and did not understand either by her clothes or by the lack of a tattoo? And why the hell does she see herself from third person? Kimir recently tried to kill May like a failure, and now, having learned that she can kill without a weapon, he decided to train her again? Firstly, you have Osha, and secondly, what does it matter whether you kill without a weapon or not, when you yourself always use it (except for that time with Jord when it jammed)? His brilliant proposal "LET'S FLY TOGETHER ON MY SHIP AND SEE WHO WILL GET HER FIRST" - why bother organizing a race when you can just not take Osha with you?! Especially when she refused to study with you? Fucking Darth Plagueis (who should be only 15 years old at the time of the series) was hiding on this island all this time, and neither Kimir, nor Osha, nor May felt him all this time and did not see his ship... or did he, like Luke, drown it in the sea? How did he get here and get out of here? Why didn’t he kill these three or take them on as disciples? What about the rule of two? He's not interested in twins created by force? Or...do you want to say that he came to this idea from them? Fuck...By the way, there are entire deposits of cortosis on this same island, and Plagueis didn’t use them and didn’t give them to Palpatine? And why didn’t Kimir make it into full-body armor? Saul makes perfectly logical and correct arguments throughout the episode, but the show is desperately trying to show that he is wrong... Yes May, you started the fire, and no, the Jedi would have come and would have left if you had told them no ". All Saul had to say to both Osha and May was "your mother turned into a kind of smoke mummy with a huge mouth and began to turn May into smoke, while the other mother attacked Torbin, so I began to defend myself, There was no time to think, how could I know that this was her way of letting Osha go?!” If Saul left a message for Vernestra, why did he turn off the transmitter in episode 6? Why did he rush to Brandok, if, according to his information, Osha is still on Kofar and the council is heading there, May is with him, and his goal is to show the council both twins and prove the Convergence? (by the way, they never explained to us what Convergence means and why it is so important)... but he doesn’t even need to do that, Torbin took a blood test 16 years ago, it already proves everything! Naturally, Saul didn’t search May, although in episode 6 he and Basil knew that she had Pip...he certainly didn’t feel her intention to attack...and of course he needed to stop in the corridor and shout “MAY!” so that she had time to close herself in the shuttle... and of course he did not cut through the doors with a lightsaber so that she could not set sail due to depressurization.. May, if you're going to get away from Sol in a ring of rocks because he can't fly through it, what's the point of flying right under its surface, because he'll just follow you outside the ring! Not only that, the stones do not harm his ship at all, but they harm yours! And finally, he knows where on the planet you land, that’s where he will find you! Why the hell is Basil pulling the vires and making his ship crash?! Naturally, she survives the crash without any consequences... Vernestra shows the senator with all her appearance how unpleasant he is to her and does not give a single argument why she should be trusted and how her investigation is going... an exemplary Jedi, I see. On the planet Sol does not feel May, Oshu, or Kimir, he just walks and yells Raaaaay.... sorry, Maaaaaay... I got him confused with Finn. Kimir, having attacked Sol, does not even try to expose his helmet to the blow of the sword, turning it off and then striking... The power from jumping turned into figure skating in the air... at some point, Kimir runs at Sol with his fists when Sol is armed and swords are flying at him from both sides, rotating, that is, Kimir is trying to commit suicide... And when they crossed their swords and froze, this is generally the height of insanity: first they press their swords on each other at face level, that is, Kimir needs to turn off the sword, then Sol will extinguish his sword on his helmet and he can be killed! But then they swap sabers and start pulling them ON THEMSELVES.... wich means both are trying to cut themselves, but don’t let each other... I’m just yelling in pain. May meets Osha and blatantly lies to her that she didn’t start the fire and that Saul killed their mother (not saying that it was out of self-defense and how the other witches died who tried to kill the Jedi with their own hands)... Osha freaks out and starts fighting. ...For what? What does she even want? And yes, Amanda Stenberg’s performance is simply awful, I couldn’t look at her without cringing... Why do characters constantly teleport if they are not looked at for two seconds?!
Sol finally disarmed Kimir, but doesn't kill him?! Didn't teach you anything last time? How was May able to sneak up on you and disarm you when you alone can paralyze her with the Force?! Even Kimir warned you about her! Why don't you pull the sword with the Force as soon as she throws it away? Why do you repent to her when Kimir is standing behind you? Kill him and then talk! Osha, why are you asking again “is it true” when Saul already said it himself? Do you want to clarify under what circumstances he killed her and what happened to the others? Probably, since you two are so unique, he would not kill the one who created you? He didn’t even kill Kimir in front of your eyes! Why are you telling him to shut up when he's already choking? And how can you even strangle him to death when he is much stronger than you and you were recently completely cut off from the Force? Sol was the only character who didn't give a damn in this series - this is mainly the merit of the actor, but the character was also the most adequate (except for those moments where he goes into idiot mode and lets someone die or changes his plans, nobody can understand why)...and he was killed in the most disgusting way. Osha unconsciously, simply out of anger, turns the blue saber red... I won’t even ask why Anakin didn’t have it like that on Mustafar when he was slaughtering the Separatists or fighting with Obi-Wan... Then Kimir just runs off, and Osha follows May for some reason...she doesn't want to punish her for wounding her in episode 5, considering how angry she is at everyone right now? And no, it’s impossible to climb down such a steep cliff without a rope, as I say as a rock climber. Was May sucked into a ventilation pipe like Luke was in Empire? Why is that needed in this fortress in the mountains and where was this wind in the flashback? And how did May survive alone? Btw, where did the Zabrak mother Coril, who moved into Kelnakka, end up? Did Trinity kill her too, clearing his mind? What pathetic witches... How did a whole crowd of Jedi on Brandok not notice the ships of Sol and Kimir, and if they did, why didn’t they set up guards? Vernestra senses that her former padawan is on the planet, but does not tell the others to look for him and does not try herself? She feels what happened in this room 16 years ago, but does not feel what happened just now? And if she feels everything, then she knows why the witches had to be killed? How did Kimir overtake Osha and May when he was just recently staring at Vernestra, and how did he leave the fortress irreplaceable? Why doesn't Osha react to the line "sorry for starting the fire" when previously May denied it? Why is it that when Osha asks to let May go, May objects, does she want Kimir to kill her? She spent the whole series wanting to be with Osha, and just like that she immediately agrees to forget her forever? If her memory was already erased, how did she start the line of the rhyme? And she could have continued “you give me me” purely by rhyme and analogy with “I give you you”, even a child would guess... Kimir, what's the point of erasing her memory when she's looking straight at you if she'll remember you anyway? Wouldn't it be more logical to blindfold her, erase her memory and leave? Or even take her with you, drop her off away from the Jedi and erase her memory there? And yes, another imbalanced lore-breaking ability of the Force... How did the Jedi miss the departure of Kimir's ship from the planet? Why doesn’t Mei say that she saw a girl - a copy of herself and an Asian man in black with her? Why did Vernestra decide to blame everything on Sol when she knows that this is her former Padawan? Why doesn't she say what caused the conflict with the witches? Why was she the only one entrusted with the murder of Master Indara? Why don’t the other Jedi who were with her ask the question “how did Saul kill himself if there were no injuries or traces of poison on his body? If he killed everyone to hide the truth, why didn’t he kill May and where is Osha’s corpse?” Who gave Vernestra the time and permission to make a raft and burn his body? Aren't Jedi buried in the temple? Why does the Chancellor take her word for it and not ask why there are such unstable ones among the Jedi that they kill their comrades and themselves just not to tell the truth, and how does Vernestra know all about this? What a bitch... Where did Osha and Kimir and their children/students end up, whom no one had heard of by episode 1? They didn't kill any more Jedi? Master Yoda sat on his ass throughout the entire series and did not feel the deaths of 8 Jedi at the hands of the Sith, nor the fact that Vernestra was openly cunting, nor did he discuss with Ki-Adi-Mundi who trained May after all...brilliant. I didn't think it was possible, but this episode is even worse than the Obi-Wan Kenobi ending, which I thought was the worst episode in television history. It destroys the Force, the Jedi, the Sith (including Yoda, Mundi and Plagueis), lightsabers, hyperspace jumps and the plot of 6 Lucas films... I can’t even begin to compare which series is worse. Every time I thought that the bottom had been broken, but they always find new bottom to break...
Thought I replied to this but it must’ve gotten lost. I love how you change their names all throughout the comment! But yes, all the show does is beg a million questions and ruin anything in its wake. It’s why I was so horrified to see beloved legacy characters appear. Especially considering this was advertised as standing separate from what came before (calling BS on that). I can say that making videos did exorcise a lot of my frustrations so definitely going to cover more shows that undoubtedly will break my brain, like Agatha, Rings of Power etc. if there’s no joy to be had from the viewing itself then at least there’s some to be found here with y’all.
The problem with the new falcon movie, is that the movie trailer still tries to convey that he's not Steve Rogers, he is his new man, I was like like wasn't it the point of previous series
You’re completely right. It reduces the significance of that extremely long winded attempt at establishing Sam as the new Cap. Unless they spin it somehow… I have to wonder what the point is. But we’ll watch it on the channel and see, so there’s the silver lining I suppose
The Watchmen trailer is a bit quiet so I recommend seeing it for yourself before watching this. A bit of a slip-up on my end as I accidentally lowered the internal video audio before booting it up.
@@TunezCottage I do think it’s nice to see main plot servants die, I liked Sols actor, and Yords neck snapping was sick. Those are the only things this show did well. Sol and Sexy Sith(can’t remember his name) should have both fell in half instead of his lightsaber being destroyed that would have been sick af.
@@skully5063 The show did some things right and daring to kill characters is definitely one of them. It also didn't expect us to care about Yord, which you can't when you've done nothing to build him as a character. I did feel like they were going for an emotional send off with Sol but it didn't quite work for me either. I wish it did.
It’s a joke if you consider the 2 sec shot of the back of Yodas head before the credits of the finale of a show that might never see a second season a spoiler
Definition of spoiler: a description of an important plot development in a television show, film, or book which if previously known may reduce surprise or suspense for a first-time viewer or reader. Now, where would you say this fits? Is it important? No. Will it reduce surprise? Depends on if you know Star Wars or not. If you do then you know he's around in this era. If not, then you might as well conclude that's Yaddle and not Yoda. It doesn't qualify.
While I do think this was shit, I do have to point out that Han did say "Then I'll see you in Hell." just before leaving to save Luke in Empire Strikes Back, in response to a rebel saying that he would freeze and that he wouldn't make it far. At least, it was implied. I forget what he said exactly to Han.
No you’re right he did! Delivery is really important, and even though colloquialism rips me out of the immersion normally, ESB handled it well. This episode… did not.
Using it badly makes all the difference. I’ll admit I am wrong about my complaint but the fact that one sentence rips you entirely out of the immersion where ESB doesn’t, speaks volumes by itself.
In the german dubbed version of Empire strikes back, Han Solo says (retranslated) "Then we see us in Hell", after the Rebel Officer warns him, that his Tauntaun will be frozen to death when he is going out to search Luke, back on Hoth. Dont know if thats also the case in the english language version. How ever - Acolyte... Jesus....
That’s one of the reasons I like to watch things in their original language because mistranslation with colloquial terms always occur, even in fictional worlds with made up ones. It’s in the eye of the beholder.
I think she was talking to us, you know, when we have to watch it. Hell. I'm sure our actual hell would be a walk in the park to watching this steaming pile of trash.
He was great as Lovo! Didn't put it together that they were directly related so thank you for that. I will get around to a week of Hitchcock and Orson Welles eventually, so we'll be covering some of his son's movies too.
