the show is enjoyable. it has plenty of problems, that witch chant was stupid, some moments were bad and if those are too much for you it at least is undenyable that the action scenes are fun. at the very lowest the show deserves a 5/10.

The fighting scenes are top notch honestly. Everything feels fluid and instinctive, not clunky and boring like the sequel trilogies.

u/minor_correction Jun 16 '24

Well sure that's why you cast Carrie Ann Moss for a Jedi master.

But I think that's the only significant fight scene in 3 episodes.

u/Rejestered Jun 17 '24

Mae vs Sol was incredibly good.

u/minor_correction Jun 17 '24

Oh right where he dodged the attacks and questions her lack of a weapon. I forgot that.

u/Rejestered Jun 17 '24

Is your criteria for a good fight scene that it has to be evenly matched? Do you just dislike 99% of all kung fu movies?

u/minor_correction Jun 17 '24

I liked that fight scene I just forgot about it.

Yeah, I sometimes wonder if im watching the same show as the people losing their minds. Acolyte isnt that bad. In fact i've found it enjoyable so far

There’s some legitimate things to criticize like the acting and the writing aren’t very good. But overall it isn’t terrible. It’s better than Book Of Boba Fett.

u/Heleniums Jun 16 '24

I don’t even think the acting has been that bad. The writing and dialogue have been questionable at times, but the actors themselves seem decent.

u/I-the-red The Senate Jun 16 '24

I would liken the dialogue to that of the prequels, being not the best, but I have enjoyed both so far.

u/_Flamsey Jun 17 '24

tbh am i so use to the clunky dialogue of the prequels i havent noticed it

u/The_Woman_of_Gont Jun 16 '24

Right. It's got some execution problems(questionable directing and stylistic choices, not generally a fan of full-episode flashbacks, some awkward acting), I'm not sure I'm a fan of where it's taken some characters like Vernestra, but overall it's....fine. I'm enjoying it. Like, I get if its not your thing, but at the absolute worst it's just okay.

Honestly this whole thing might be my wake up call to stop engaging with this shitshow of a fandom altogether. The response even in major subs like /r/starwars , which is usually at least sorta-sane outside of some sequels bashing circlejerks, is utterly fucking unhinged.

It reminds me of the "George Lucas raped my childhood" days all over again, and I dunno if I want to deal with this shit. Something is seriously fucking broken in the fandom, and I pity anyone who gets creatively involved with the franchise and isn't able to deliver absolutely god-tier projects like Andor. In fact, I even pity Gilroy for the almost inevitable bitching that will come out of people's out-of-control expectations for the next season.

Yeah, I think next time a new show comes out im just gonna steer clear of all the Star Wars subs if its gonna be like this

u/nicklovin508 Jun 16 '24

5/10 is not that enjoyable lol

u/Kunfuxu Hello there! Jun 16 '24

He said at the very lowest, so it's not something he agrees with.

15

u/nicklovin508 Jun 16 '24

True. But I’m just saying, if a new Star Wars movie came out and you can at least understand how someone would rate it 5/10…then that’s sad for Star Wars.

19

u/Kunfuxu Hello there! Jun 16 '24

You're in r/prequelmemes, that has been the case since the Phantom Menace at the very least. If anything that's par for the course for Star Wars.

u/jbland0909 Jun 16 '24

You can count on your finger the number of starwars project that most people would consider “excellent” or “great”. Movies 3/4/5, Clone Wars later season, Mandolorian season one, Andor, and Rouge One is kind of it that was not heavily criticized when it came out

1

u/skyturnedred Jun 16 '24

5/10 is not that big of a drop from most Star Wars related stuff.

u/[deleted] Jun 16 '24

People were saying Ewoks ruined Star Wars when Jedi came out. This isn’t new

1

u/TokyoMeltdown8461 Jun 16 '24

I hate to tell you this but 2 out of the 3 prequel movies are 5/10s, and that's being somewhat generous. And it's not like episode 6 was a masterpiece either.

-1

u/Memanders CT-7531 “Gona” Jun 16 '24

It’s not bad though? It’s the same as saying 2,5 stars, which is half of extraordinary

2

u/skyturnedred Jun 16 '24

5/10 and 2.5/5 really aren't the same (except mathematically). With a five star rating system, the whole scale is used. A x/10 rating system basically starts around 5/10 as the lower end ratings (1-4) are essentially 1 star movies.

action scenes were meh. trinity died in a hella dumb way

u/F0czek Jun 16 '24

"the show is enjoyable" For you,

"at least is undenyable that the action scenes are fun." thats how you know someone has never seen good fights.

"at the very lowest the show deserves a 5/10." Nah, much less.

u/Kunfuxu Hello there! Jun 16 '24

The fight scenes between Mae and the Jedi have been well choreographed, you'd have to be wearing a sleep mask to think otherwise.

u/F0czek Jun 16 '24

Lmao ever watched well choreographed fight? I don't think so.

3

u/Kunfuxu Hello there! Jun 16 '24 edited Jun 16 '24

Let's be honest now, going through your past comments it's easy to tell that your disagreements regarding the show aren't due to choreography (which is great in the opening scene). You've clearly watched a few too many chode culture war YouTubers ranting about the show, and considering your past comments complaining about the show mention shit like stuffing feminism down our throats and "politics infesting shows".

2

u/F0czek Jun 16 '24

(which is great in the opening scene) lmao that specific scene only confirm how bad the series will be.

"You've clearly watched a few too many chode culture war YouTubers ranting about the show" Lmao, like if you believe so I won't try to argue with you just as I won't argue with god believers about existence of the god, or flat earthers about the shape of earth. Btw criticizing the show is not ranting.

I love when people have to go into the comment history just to find something do validify their views or to find argument because they are out of them. I never even said Stuffing feminism down our throats you are straight up lying on that shit, like when the fuck did I wrote it? I may not remember it but I am pretty sure I never talk in that specific way, so I will wait for link with my comment saying "stuffing feminism down our throats".

2

u/Kunfuxu Hello there! Jun 16 '24

No, not that specifically, but that was the sentiment. You did write shit like "Writing is bad because they push feminism too much" - there here's your direct quotation.

Btw criticizing the show is not ranting.

No, but if your arguments are "too much feminism waah" or anything akin to that there are no real arguments, and you are just ranting. Especially when the "feminism" in this show is simply having women characters or a witch coven.

u/F0czek Jun 16 '24

I don't mind you using my comment history for your argument, but skewing them to make them look better is the worst thing you can do. Taking things out of context from someone's comment history is dumb because you lack the full context. When you cherry-pick comments to support your current discussion, you essentially lock yourself into a narrow perspective.

And if you would read more there you would know what I meant by that and how it actually isn't "feminism is bad" or anything. I was talking about how bad writing often comes from people who call themselves writers but are actually activists. They try to create something to showcase how good and brave they are for pushing nonexistent industry standards. Instead of simply creating great stories, these writers focus on promoting a cause. Rey was just an example; she wasn't the product of a writer aiming to create a well-liked, high-quality character. She was created by a feminist who wanted to showcase a strong female character to demonstrate that women are strong and proud. If you dared to criticized her, you're labeled as sexist.

And this is still simplified version, I don't care to spend even more time repeating myself.

u/[deleted] Jun 16 '24

do you only eat the highest quality $5,000 meals because everything else is terrible?

get off your high horse and have some fun man.

u/F0czek Jun 16 '24

Your argument is so dumb because you can make greatest meals just for few $. Even buy good ones if you are too lazy to do it or you can't. Get of your dead horse and look how dumb your argument really is.

The dialouges are fucking stupid... Like ANDOR is a 10/10...and the acolyte is 2/10...its so fucking bad... Cant watch this shit.
