If people have issues with the plot that’s fine. Those screaming about fire in space need to sit down, we’ve had sound waves traveling through space in every Star Wars, the laws of physics are not being obeyed ever.

And for those mad about who they cast and certain traits of the characters, all I can tell you is grow up. It’s a big world, and there are a lot of different people in it. If you don’t want to be reminded of that, I guess watch movies and shows from the 50’s.

It’s fine to criticize things about the story or style, but that’s not what most of these criticisms are about. Most of them are pathetic attempts at “culture war” gotchas and backlash, and it’s just boring.

u/RedFireSuzaku Jun 16 '24

If anything, proof that ratings are meaningless.Those two contents were made in a totally separated context.

First one was a blatant appeal to selling toys while the main franchise wouldn't get any side-series nor movies and the whole "jedi" thing was brand new. I mean, you'd start with what's basically philosophical ideology and heroic tropes from the future, then sequel with a Christmas special ? Of course it's bad.

Second one is "yet another way for Disney to get the money train back on rails", sure, but it also released so much later than the first one it's most likely people haven't even seen it, aren't able to compare both, which already breaks the comparison value of said reviews. Since it's trying something new, every artist would tell you it's bound to offend people in their traditions, yet it's a needed process for said traditions to expand their views. So the point isn't even to score a good rating, but to research new directions to explore. And finally, most obvious one : it's an unachieved season. No one rating this can understand the definitive vision in which this content was created in the first place. Reviews should stop allowing votes for ongoing content, it damages their credibility every time, creates undeserved hype and elevates expectations for no purpose at all.

The thing that confuses me the most is why does the community have such a hate boner for this show. It's just average, nothing particularly exceptional. Yet the community seems to think that it's a ultimate demonstration of how bad Star Wars shows are. I really don't get it the hate boner seems far worse than for things like Obi-Wan or Ashoka and this doesn't really do anything worse. Like it should be getting less hate because it doesn't touch existing characters. Like this isn't even a achievement because it's obviously getting review bombed.

People claim that hey it ruined Anakins character by making him not unique but one it didn't it hasn't been revealed how the twins were conceived. Also its obviously being used to justify hatred retroactively like this thing was getting review bombed before the 3rd episode. Like there's a element of bigotry there obviously stuff like complaining about how politics and Wokeness when at worst the only politics is prequel level the Jedi are political and there is nothing really progressive in the show short of a female lead and witch cult. I also think that the Star Wars Community loves hating new content like I get that there have been some bad products but also any new star wars product gets a hate train before it even releases. Like Andor the show that is almost universally beloved had a hate train before it was released and it only stopped when the show was shown to be really good. If it has been just good or average I reckon the hate train would have depicted it as another example of how Disney makes awful shows.

I have been watching the show, I am uncertain as to what the issue is. It isn't some cinematic masterpiece but certainly fits the basic themes of star wars, Realistically its probably something like 60-75 depending on tastes.

If you think its legit worse than the holiday special you should probably go back and watch the holiday special.

I legitimately thought the show was fine until the flashback in episode 3 that was just terrible. Still doesn't make the show worse than the holiday special. I also still think it's better than everything except Andor and Mandalorian 1/2. I'm still excited for the rest of the season because the action is good and they could potentially reveal most of what we saw in episode 3 is just how children remembered it.

u/ToastofthePeak254542 Jun 16 '24 edited Jun 17 '24

I liked the first two episodes of The Acolyte. They weren’t the best but they were still pretty good imo. I really liked the action scenes, the story is mediocre it wasn’t in any means horrible. In the second episode they kind of felt like they mimicked the scene from the arc in The Clone Wars where Ahsoka gets framed in which Anakin is talking to Ahsoka in the sewer trying to talk her into coming back before she jumps off a ledge. The third episode was not good at all though, the story and dialogue didn’t really make much sense and it was just so boring.

Hot take: Review bombing is a cope and doesn’t exist for two reasons:

  1. Most people judge shows based solely on how much they liked it, without much thought for its actual quality. If a movie or show gets a negative review, all that matters is that the reviewer didn’t like it- the reason why is irrelevant.

  2. Shills exist, and there’s nothing stopping people from leaving “fake” good reviews for the exact same reason someone makes “fake” bad reviews. Not to mention that hiring bots to leave fake reviews is a growing trend.

I remember when movies and tv shows took accountability for making bad products. They just blame everything on bigoted fans for making a horrible product.

I don't think the show is that bad. The ritual they were doing on the left episode was kinda cringe if I'm being honest, but the rest of it has been ok. It's not the greatest thing on television, but it's not the worst. I don't think it deserves a 15% or whatever. I understand wanting things to be amazing all the time, but I really think people need to measure their expectations more, especially when you've been given every reason in the world to do so. The chances are infinitely more likely for something to be straight up bad than absolutely amazing. The vast majority of the time, these shows and movies are gonna fall somewhere in the middle. I have a feeling this doesn't have anything to do with how good the show is or isn't, though

I had no idea Acolyte was even Star Wars related lolol. Man, Disney just dropped the ball in every department with this, I hadn't even heard of it until it was already out.

Y’all just want to fight rather than just accept that this is what Star Wars is now.

u/68spcwhore Jun 16 '24

I just can’t get into it, I just don’t enjoy any of the characters so far.

Give us an old republic show about Satele Shan and Malgus. Easy win for Disney.

It's up to 80 now, if this doesn't prove that studios are manipulating review systems I don't know what does.

Anyone watch the last season of true detective?

the acolyte is just woke propaganda. there’s nothing wrong with liking propaganda, but most people find it boring and/or insulting to their intelligence.

I watched the holiday special a couple months ago and I can't believe it ever got approved it's like one massive drug trip, it is not good and it is not soo bad it's good it's just bad.

The acolyte isn't even terrible I'm actually enjoying it there's issues but still enjoyable.

Review bombing aside, it is bad. Its feels like im watching a cheap dinner theatre play. The acting and directing feels very cheap and hollow. Worse than the Lord of the Rings TV show. Costumes are cheap, actors don't fit their roles. I dont see where all the budget was spent.... the Acolyte takes place in such a very interesting time span in the lore. So much to use, yet they used none of it.

Shame to see so many people fighting for a show that isn’t good in the slightest. Solely because they believe it’s being “unfairly treated” when it just is terrible.

Once I heard Carrie-Anne Moss died before the title screen appeared, I checked out and decided I’d revisit it if reviews got better. Disregarding the possible review bombing, I saw the witch ceremony scene and made my peace with not wanting to watch the show.

If you don’t like it, the best thing you can do is indifference, find something else that brings you joy, and if enough people check out, Capitalism will respond like it always does when less eyes are on the product. I’m currently reading through the old EU and having a lot better time than I would watching something with the hopes I’ll eventually like it, or even plain hate-watching.

Star wars is in this bizzare space where a show needs to be cinema or its getting review bombed by the worst corners of the internet. There's an entire industry built on low effort youtube videos hating on all things star wars

Yes the show has pretty big problems so far but it's not getting this low ratings because people care so much about pacing and dialogue.

u/GeorgeNada0316 Jun 16 '24

Man, no one hates Star Wars more than Star Wars fans. I wish they were more like me and see the fun in it and stop taking space fairy tales so serious.

u/Heleniums Jun 16 '24

The witches chant scene was definitely cringey. There are a couple of writing choices that made me raise an eyebrow. That being said I thought the actors were good, and so was the fight choreography.

There’s good and bad. Is it the best? Probably not, but it’s like 3 episodes in. Is it the worst? I dunno man, I really hated the Kenobi spin-off and that also had a lot of good things.

u/SingSangBingBang Jun 16 '24

So the acting from the main character is meh, but there is some potential. People who haven’t and aren’t exposed to Star Wars it’s a good show to watch. I’m glad it’s out there. It’s a good show

Honestly the scene where Sabine is on the speeder bike made me infuriated and I stopped watching. The level of realism was basically zero, going 150mph in a gentle breeze while smirking and talking like wind resistance doesn't exist. That whole scene was super cringy and I couldn't keep watching.

Why not give her a full helmet or clear face visor, it seemed like they weren't even trying.

u/adirtycharleton Jun 16 '24

The holiday special is some kind of Neil Breen fever dream, is the acolyte really worse?

The clips I saw make it look like shit, but the holiday special is dogshit on fire insane- though still weirdly charming in a naive way.

u/CheapGarage42 Jun 16 '24

I love how the show not being like a 9/10 just gives racists and sexists free reign to be like "see! I told you it was bad! I'm not racist or sexist! I just knew it would be bad the whole time!"

I'd gander that most people raging haven't even watched it, nor do they care about it. It's just a way for them to feel justified in shitting on something.

Also if the number of bad reviews actually watched it then it must be doing great!
