The Villain of The Acolyte has been unmasked. And let me tell you....you DEFINATELY guessed it. 100%.....We're talking if you thought "That's too obvious", well, that was it. #TheAcolyte #StarWars
You guys joke around but I was genuinely surprised by the twist. I thought it was handled really well and while the Acolyte isn’t especially deep, I am enjoying it.
I liked when Jeremy said, " It feels like he pulled the name "Sith" out of his ass". Like he's pretending to be a Sith. It actually reminded me of Genndy Tartakovsky's 2003 Clone Wars micro-series, when Ventress claimed to be a sith and Dooku laughed and said, "A bold claim, but you are NOT Sith!"
@@CalebSpears1 I always thought that if they wanted a female character so bad why not make a Ventress show? But with Christopher Lee dead they would have to change a decent bit.
@@clairemadeinheaven But neither rise to the level of The Holiday Special. Okay, The Force Awakens is better than The Holiday Special, but everything else? Worse.
If leslye headland thought people were tuning in to watch girl boss turn into a girl boss, she is sorely mistaken. Who is this show for now? X23 gets forked, straight man comic relief yord gets zodded, jedi wookie, jedi king's landing and master trinity all get unceremoniously deleted. All the reasons to tune in have all joined the force.
You mean when she realized that her master was actually there and Literally killed half of them immediately she didnt think she should stick around and stay with the Jedi who were getting slaughted??? HOW IS THAT WHIPLASH? THATS COMMON SENSE.
@@TheVGCcommon sense would be to team up with them to not die to her master and have a chance to run away with protection (like Osha initially did) or at least say something when the Jedi try to arrest you
It was particularly offensive because Ki-Adi-Mundi was famous for saying that line in Phantom Menace. The Jedi Council were nearly wanting to raise their glasses and go "amen to that!"
@@mlo009it’s possible Ki Adi Mundi didn’t know because that Green Jedi lady didn’t want the sith’s appearance to be public knowledge. We’ll just have to wait and see ig
I took it that the Sith Lord knew but thought he'd try anyway. He seemed to be trying to kill his previous padawan and intentionally moved the other out of the way at the start of the fight.
I said the same thing, he needed a helmet to block Sol from his mind but he can't see her thoughts 10 mins later?? Sigh, maybe he can. Guess we'll see next episode cause we collectively can't turn away from this.
@@SceneNuthinn I always interpreted that as a mix of sith sorcery masking Palpatines presence and hiding in plain sight. Like they can sense a dark cloud around Palpatine but can't tell the origin. In this case though at the supposed height of the jedi's power it really doesn't make sense why the helmet would prevent mind reading or why neither Sol nor Qimir sense they have the other twin.
Also She has a giant tattoo on her face saying "I AM MAE". So it's already stupid apart from his ability to sense things, which the writers change from episode to episode. The longer he spends with her not realising, the dumber it will get. Yes her hair is in the way blah blah. Is it really though?
My new favorite thing is when Jeremy does hypothetical conversations of characters in the shows he watches. I don’t know why the “That’s not what I meant,” bit made my laugh so much, but it did.
"Passion is something that money doesn't buy" and that right there is the key sentence that explains everything that's wrong with Disney, Marvel, Star Wars, DC, nerd culture in general ever since Hollywood/Corporations took over nerd culture in the 2000s
If you want to see good Star Wars stuff...search for fan films on RU-vid. Not only often interesting stories, but simply well made, with tons of passion. It shows, simple like that.
Its identical to what is happening with Automotive youtube ... Investment companies have bought them to produce out bland reaction content ... Because its cheap.
Credit where due: Hollywood might have popularized nerd culture, but it was the normies who ultimately moved in, gentrified the space, and gave studios monetary incentive to keep diluting the product.
No Not enough heat is being transmitted And it's being transmitted in such a small area that it's just going to cut it'd be like cutting your hair with a laser it's not really going to Affecting thing it's not touching
@@adamstrachnso it's stupid because it's culturally important to a culture you aren't apart of? This is like, textbook racism my dude. It's different to you, so it's bad.
My initial thoughts since the first Acolyte trailer was that the premise should have been a secret Sith or Dark Side user hiding among the Jedi in plain sight. Killing them off one by one and made into a mystery show.
@@dosiguales I don't think they want us to remember the force dash... I suppose when you have a deus ex machina type entity it is necessary to make people forget about it.....
"Is he like the Sith equivelant of those stolen valor fucks who pose as military veterans to get free pancakes on Veteran's Day?" Holy shit Jeremy, that line made me choke on my coffee. 🤣
I recently met a guy at a coffeeshop who told me some crazy military stories. I was there for 2 hours amazed at these stories. Next time I came back, the other regulars were like "uh yeah, it's stolen valor. He didn't do those things." I was actually mad I wasted all that time listening to him.
@@donovan4222 The reason: risking your life in service of your country is a terrible necessity for some, warranting high praise. Fraudulently asking someone to praise you in such a way warrants an equal measure of scorn.
Dafne Keen really impressed me. Her combat skills are the best Disney has filmed since they bought Star Wars. The show is not good but Dafne is a star.
@@thatperformer3879 What's worse is that Rosario Dawson had nearly 2 years to prepare and somehow she ended up moving slower during her fight scenes than when she wasn't fighting.
True, when those force witches died the only thoughts I had were 'finally' and 'why didn't the series begin with it' because I didn't give shit about them and they just died 😒
I just love that the religious leader who was posing as a sleazy doofus is played by an actor who's last big roll was a sleazy doofus posing as a religious leader.
It looked like the tail end of one of those old black & white commercials. It cuts, braids, and moisturizes! It's the all in one solution for personal hair styling at home and outdoors.
She didn't try and kill any Jedi. She was trying to flee the entire episode after the Sith came into the picture. Was she gonna go try and turn herself in while the Jedi were being slaughtered by the obviously much more powerful Sith? Oops sorry, I forgot what comment section I was in. I meant: show bad haha show bad.
@@Gangerworld yes, her fighting Jecki and bringing out Kunai against her definitely doesn’t count. Not trying to communicate with any of them. And then the heel turn again to make sure she looks like Osha to infiltrate the Jedi with Sol. No no, couldn’t possibly be anything so silly
@@user-qv8cd7qc1ktbf that fight was after she realized that they were fighting/losing against Mr sith. If she turned herself in at that point she would’ve basically just handed her life over as well - Mr sith literally tried putting Mae down multiple times while she was cuffed - so she tried to fight to run away from everyone. I will say the thing I didn’t get is how sol wasn’t able to tell it was her instantly from her tattoo lol
@@thatsaksyguy so instead of trying to maybe work together and save time by talking to the Jedi , maybe work together or something, she decides to waste time fighting…. Logically the whole thing makes no sense. It’s a 180
@@xtrafunk He has some solid lines and cool moves ngl... But the helmet looks like a troll emoji and he's way too obvious. The mystery is weak with this one.
Being a Jedi in this era feels like it's some random summer job you could just drop whenever you felt like going to the beach. The CW's Star Wars remains the perfect summary tagline for this series thus far.
I always go back to what Jeremy said when he reviewed TLJ " G Lucas is l like we have the force but we can't to anything, Disney is like we have the force we can do anything."
She wanted to turn herself in but that was before she found out her master was there and wanted her dead. And prior to being cuffed she watched one dude force push multiple Jedi. Which is a callback to her lesson as a child.
Haven't watched acoltye but I'm glad to hear the dude who says "Anikin blew up the Death Star" in interviews died from his neck being snapped in the show
@donovan4222 it wasn't just once it was multiple times I seen him in a few different outfits saying it was Anikin also even if It is once I'm not gonna support a director who says robots and androids are gay that just defeats all logic since Androids don't have sexual preferences programmed
I can't say it's the best yet, but definitely the most enjoyable so far. I actually felt bad Jecki died. This episode really justified her sass. She wasn't just a smart mouth, but a fearless fighter, throwing herself into combat like that. Sadly her recklessness got the best of her. She reminded me a bit of Padawan Obi Wan in Phantom Menace.
@@ShawnGilbert1967he force pushed a half dozen Jedi, I think power comparisons are meaningless. Whatever the plot needs to happen, will happen whether it makes sense or not.
Granted it depends on where in the US you are, but the average bottle of Johnny Walker Blue Label is about $200. Looks like the current one is about dead, so we’ll see if he gets another. That being said, since there are only supposed to be 8 episodes in season 1, if he does, about $400. Also, I know you were joking, I just felt like sharing because I felt compelled to look up the cost of a bottle of Blue Label.
I’m willing to bet she was paid most of the budget to keep her mouth shut. And to think she’s a victim is hilarious. As if she couldn’t be an evil pile of shit who helped Harvey.
Qimir clearly knows and Sol literally just watched his padawan die before his eyes along with every other Jedi he brought with him, found out that the Sith are still alive and had said Sith taunt him and dig up his clearly deep seeded guilt clouding his mind, is mistaking Osha for her identical sister who is deliberately impersonating her really that far fetched?
Credit where it's due: I think this was the best lightsaber combat we've seen since Disney bought the franchise. I loved it. Especially in light of how awful most of the action was in Ahsoka. That show was brutal.
For Disney only SW? Yes, I would agree. The only other lightsaber fight that was anywhere near as good was the final Kenobi duel, but that was ruined by the overpowered rock throwing and several other moments. That said, Headland had the audacity to suggest this episode’s fight would rival the Phantom Menace and, well, it didn’t even final the Phantom Creeps Serial.
@@ChronzYup. Seen people get this confused even before Disney ruined star wars. Just because someone is a dark side user doesn't make them Sith and just because they're a light side user doesn't make them a Jedi. They have to be trained it those ways.
he could be a dark jedi who studies sith arts, or an acolyte himself, like asajj ventress and savage oppress, and he could be killled by darth plagueis.
I call the totally surprising villain "Darth Teeth" lol. The mask is so dumb looking. I also find it hilarious that Mae was able to cut her hair to be the exact length as Osha's, with no difference in how the ends look, or any odd ends so quick.
Rey vs Kylo Ren in TFA was pretty well seen. As well as Luke vs Kylo and that dope dyad fight in TROS. Really one of the only good moments in that film. CW had plenty of night saber fights; Anakin and Obi-Wan vs Darkside Ahsoka for one example.
They think they're sly. Like nah.... we get it. It's what they did with transformers in the late 2000's. The CGI wasnt as good as it is now so they used really fast movement and lighting to obscure the weakness in CGI when the detailed models would be doing too much in movement.
@@exomake_mehorololo You can though, otherwise I wouldn’t be saying it lol. You’re just parroting what people keep saying, actually look back at the episode
When you have no shame nor an ounce of grey matter, $180 million Dollars will go out in flames into nothingness. This show just proved it, is nothingness itself... oh, btw, the Gimp made me laugh so hard! Kudos my man, kudos!
It was so obvious that the unmasking would reveal that it was Jianyu from The Good Place. Not many men in these series to pick from. It had to be Qimir. Duh!
when Yord's leg was burned I could see them holding back to only burn the leg and not cut right through, it was very clear. I feel like this show has to end with everyone dead, if anyone survives this won't make any sense, even though it doesn't anyway.
Watching this show is like going to Disney these days. All your favourite nostalgia is there and it looks expensive but it’s boring and the only reason you are there is because you booked an expensive trip and you “just want to get your moneys worth.”
I still get mine for free since day one cause I kept my grand fathered in phone plan...even when I got the new Z fold 5 they tried everything to get me to change plans ( which is more expensive anyway) I'm like naw I like I can fire up Disney and watch real star wars for free and use the espn for ufc fight nights lol...now I got a real service in Hulu too all free since day D+ launched
You can see the fight just fine, people need to buy glasses or new tv cause shit had like maybe 4 cuts per combat session. There was like 2 or 3 battle happening so they swiped back and forth to make sure timing make sense. Ep 5 was awesome and anyone who thinks its bad, just honestly hate fun (And hot red light saber user)
Jeremy.... Jeremy.... You did not just mention Art of the Saber... You my friend, are truly a man of culture. That and Ryan vs Dorkman were the true OGs of fan-made saber fights.
