This encapsulates everything wrong with the that shit on “woke” media. Gets the name of the show wrong (its called The Acolyte), pulls the “oBJecTiVeLy BaD wRiTiNg” card, dramatically misunderstands every point made in the show and in almost all SW media since the prequels (the Jedi are not a perfect lawful good force, they are deeply arrogant and flawed, also “the thread” is just the force by a different name) and acting like an overall mediocre-to-decent show is the literal worst thing to ever be created when it’s painfully obvious they didn’t even watch it

if you don’t understand or care about any of this you are blessed
Isn’t the Outcast the new Ubisoft game coming later this year?
Anyways:
Fake fan hasn’t watched any of the animated shows or even the prequel movies lol. Force users that engage with it differently have been in Star Wars for such a long ass time. That, and the formal pre-empire Jedi order has always been shown as a dysfunctional group of fart sniffers. I know this is all low hanging fruit, but Jesus Christ do shitty Star Wars fans have awful media literacy.
Pretty sure it is. The Acolyte is the show. I watched the first half of the first episode before beind distracted, but it seemed fine. Just fine.
I haven’t watched all of it, but it gets worse after the first couple episodes. Say what you will about the rest of the show, but the writing is not good at all.
Austin Walker pointed out that it feels like a YA Riverdale kind of thing, and that put me in the right headspace to handle the goofy ass writing.
I haven’t seen the last episode yet, but the show is just kinda ok I guess. It’s no worse than Obi Wan or Mandolorian S3, but that’s not saying much. It feels like they had too much they want to do with the amount of time they have in the show. I feel like they would have made a better show if they had more episodes to work with or pared it back a bit![emoji shrug-outta-hecks shrug-outta-hecks](https://www.hexbear.net/pictrs/image/7cc4b291-507e-4aa2-9ba6-35d81eb4a08a.png)
Its shocking that it has the same budget as House of the Dragon.
It cost more per episode than Andor![emoji kiryu-pain kiryu-pain](https://hexbear.net/pictrs/image/d11567a6-de9f-4c76-b5c1-dc9ba97979c0.gif)
Yeah I think there’s too much stuff going on, and the writers thought they could handle it, but can’t.
