The Acolyte reviews have praised Star Wars turning to be Reylo fanfic. As Amandla Stenberg falls for a Sith Lord again, The Acolyte isn't targeted at the normal audience. In fact it is aimed to be exactly the opposite in both target demographic and moral lens. While this has had the effect of crashing the audience score, Leslye Headland doesn't seem to care about reviews at all. Instead seemingly to love the reviews about how thirsty all of the interviewers are. Turning the entire show into just fawning over the evil man in the script. The show definitely achieved it's singular goal. To not appeal to the audience. But the issue is, as Leslye Headland is writing what she knows, and all of the critical reviewers double down on feelings over analysis. Will ANYONE be sane enough to realise, this isn't the basis of a story. And these are the easiest, most basic, by default obtained audience you can get. But what did you think? Let me know your thoughts down below and as always, thanks for watching :)
They want sooooooo badly to replace the old audience of Star Wars with the sort of women who love "Twilight" and "Fifty Shades of Grey". It makes a weird kind of sense: Disney's core audience has always been girls who fantasize about being princesses. So when they acquired Star Wars and Marvel, they immediately started thinking of ways to pull in the older versions of that audience: women who fantasize about being seduced by dangerous, sexy men, and "fixing" those dangerous, sexy men into family-men.
Man I want to agree, but the actual data, not random reviews, shows the show is doing well and is being well recieved, despite how fucking trash it is.
How much do you want to bet the lake scene mirrored Hedland’s original interview with Harvey Weinstein. She was attracted by his money & saw him as powerful and went to the dark side having been seduced. “How does it feel in your hand?”
Actually, based on the fact that she has all but admitted she wanted an incestuous relationship with her sister when she was younger, I think she was already fully committed to the Dark Side well before she started working with Harvey.
Evil may be sexy, sure, but that's lust and fleeting. You want to love someone who will treat you well and that will last. Shame Disney has forgotten this.
You already did champ. Evil knocked on the gate and you asked who was there. Evil told you 'tolerance' and 'diversity'. And you opened the gate up nice and wide.
Reminder: Brick Face thought _Frozen_ was about incestuous lesbian romance. Her RL sister refuses to speak to her. _The Acolyte_ is apparently a message/love letter to that sister. _DO THE MATH!_ But wait, it gets worse. Brick Face has basically admitted to stalking Amandla Stenberg for years after her Hunger Games role (when Stenberg was 13), and made the role for her specifically. Literally showed up to her with all the concept art ready-made, all showing images/portraits of Stenberg specifically, all before Stenberg even knew this project was in the works. Rather than notice the obvious red flags, she ran with it (and God knows what else behind closed doors).
I didn't realize that Luke Skywalker whining about picking up power converters and how he can't see in his helmet and Han Solo's bragging and bluffing ways were considered "Ultra-masculine tough guys", and Princess Leia, who stood up to Darth Vader and Tarkin, lied to their faces even when her own planet was in danger, and took charge of her own rescue when it fell apart, was considered a "domestic female character" or "problematic stereotype". Seriously, have they even watched the first movie at all?
I'm pretty sure that Lesbian Headlamp, former P(ervert)Assistant to Harvey Weinstein, has stated in interviews that she wanted "writers and crew who have never seen George Lucas' version of Star Wars and therefore couldn't be influenced by anything he did". i'e. write characters, story, plot, world building, things that made sense and that people wanted to watch in their millions, rather than this low-grade, wish-fulfulling, contradictotry hogwash.
For thousands of years, people have been telling stories of "good overcoming evil". Now Disney want us to sympathise with the bad guys? Never gonna happen!
@@DemolitionManDemolishes their logic works differently if it's done by a man or a woman, and often differentiates if it's done by themselves or by another woman. In general the rule is HERself >>> other women >>> men
In the same article where the writer criticizes the bikini scene for pandering to male fantasies, she compliments the shirtless scene/s. What is wrong with people?
@@randomps2gamer283 Ideological puritanism? Most of these people have stewed in an ideology that has a completely binary view of how the world works. Basically it boils down to everything they support is good and they are fully justified in carrying out any act in order to preserve that. Meanwhile the other side is pure evil and every action they take is somehow bad (even altruistic acts will be interpreted as somehow being in bad faith). I'd postulate that the writers POV is that all women are good, all men are bad. Therefore pandering to the male fantasy is bad, pandering to the female fantasy is good.
"People always bang on about the Jedi. They're in control of their feelings. They're adults, not children. If you think there's a problem with the Jedi because they're not emotional wrecks, you need to grow up." - spot on, Disparu.
50 shades of corruption and to think they hired the current HOTD writers to write a story then butcher it with two of her friends for it to fail screening get two more writers fail again run out of cash so you have to mish mash both of them together to try get something passible lol would love to see the original story board that was sent and the 2 screenings 180mil free payday for all her friends lucky
This recent movie cliché of "hot male villain who acts strong and masculine, but is 100% respectful to women despite murdering scores of innocent people in cold blood" is just embarrassing. This spat of awful male characters doesn't "mansplain" or speak badly of women, so despite the fact they are obviously evil, suddenly they are just "misunderstood" and "redeemable". Seriously, _this_ shyte is what passes for modern writing?
It's the fantasy of a very tiny group of very broken women, which is then used to lead other women into being broken themselves--just like Headland did. SOP for a machine that runs on exploitation, whether it's Disney or those Mafia stooges in Romania.
The "writers" desperately want the bad boy but he's also nice and respectful to be a thing. Instead of writing how real "bad boys" are, which usually ends in drug cases, a police report, and the words "We the jury find the defendant..."
The "I can fix" thing is done by men, too. I heard my share of dudes wanting to be the hero to a woman who is completely messed up chick who takes pleasure in dissing men.

@@big_red01027 They've realized their reputation as essentially modern-day puritans - which is well-earned, may I add - is not a winning strategy, so they're trying to be more active in marketing their form of "healthy female-approved sexuality". This change of tactics is desperation, and it's so pathetic, obvious, and ripe for ridicule, as Disparu's epic takedown proves.
As always, flip the genders and imagine the outcry if male "journalists" were writing articles like these about a female character. And holy crap these people need help!
That would almost be refreshing since it at least gives us a (albeit poisoned) taste of some healthy male heterosexuality again. Plus, hey, we might get goth dommy mommy Darth Talon and watching the urinalists heads explode seeing that “hot and sexy EVIL” would be hilarious.
They don't want to date evil - they want to TAME THE BAD BOY like a female romance novel! "The dangerous sith tempting her with his body. The sith man, basically begging to be tamed." This will be more and more Star Wars 50 Shades of Gray - but while wrestling with wokeness which muddies it.
While I absolutely adore the trope in romance books, for any tv series or movie, it's absolutely cringe. And yes, it's arguably cringe in books too, but I'm not saying my Kindle history is high-brow or anything 😅
I'm not understanding this as taming or saving the bad boy ... I'm reading this as the desire to join the bad boy in his evil. They hate beauty in all its forms - inner moral beauty and outer physical beauty. "Love evil and hate good"
No, they just want evil. Headland is seducing women to join the evil side by throwing in a sexy guy. Seduction works both ways. Some women do it to men.
Well, to be fair, Smylo didn't murder Osha's friends. Calling them her friends would imply that the writers had the competence to actually portray a friendship between any of these "characters."
Yord was a friend from her Padawan days and she certainly seemed to be friendly with Jeckie too. The others may have just been red-shirt Jedi but those two can legitimately be called Osha's friends.
So now I'm wondering based on a few other comments from various vids if Smilo Ren is supposed to be the original Ren (of Knights of Ren). If that's the case, that would be an interesting origin story with Qimir discussing living between Sith/Jedi and calling The Force as the "Shadow", why he uses a red light saber, etc. But then you would need the show to focus on the only good actor who is also male, so instead we get Lesbian Space Witches, Osha/Mae - Parent Trap storyline, Mary Sue Jecki, etc.
Can you imagine trying to find a woman like Princess Leia? She looks good in a bikini, can strangle a crime lord of Tatooine to death with nothing but a chain, is good with a blaster, not afraid to fight for others, is the last to leave when a place is evacuated, a capable leader and chief organizer of a rebellion... ...only to find women like the sycophants oozing puddles over mass murderers. This world needs more Princess Leias.
Sadly that's why Princess Leia is a fantasy character, in reality women love evil men that's why human civilization is a clown show, and why Acolyte is basically a documentary.
@@XiaoFury Plenty of men are doing things to stop it. Not marrying and not having children with evil women is a good start. Next up on the agenda: we stop paying taxes to support their lifestyle. And thats the end of the plan. Nothing more needs to be done. All we have to do is stop doing things that benefit them. Society will fall apart by itself at that point. Good riddance. Enjoy the decline.
Women complain about toxic masculinity, then drench the surrounding area whenever a male character displays his toxic masculinity. Even the lesbian writer wasn't immune.
Really it just proves that the current entertainment industry has a problem in that it now identifies with evil. Toxic straight white men are a problem until they are evil. Then they are perfectly OK for women to fawn over.
Maybe that's the problem? It's impossible for them to pretend to be whatever their of 1247621974629376542359626 genders they are when there's a hot guy in the room.
Yeah, the "enemies to lovers" theme, or as women describe it: "Some girls just love the bad boys!" (giggle) ...and then two years, several black eyes and busted lips, a couple restraining orders, depleted bank accounts, and the occasional dead child later those same women are wailing, _"Waaaaah! I don't know what happened! Men are traaaaash!"_

I am a woman with few friends like this and i confirm. They chose dicks (against my advices those dicks are walking red flags) then complain all men are bad and whining they cant find one.
It's as confusing as men who cry about wanting a good woman to wife, yet they settle for stripper girls loaded with problems. On the opposite, it's the same lame-brain problem. Broken men and broken women.
All of them do that for it is rules fro thee(males liking hot women) and not for me(women who drool over Chris Hemsworth when Zeus flicks off his disguise). Female gaze is good while male gaze is bad and that shows how hypocritical Disney truly is.

@@IXFlipyap All their Orwellian newspeak/doublespeak terms deserve to e ridiculed (also stolen and flipped to be made into the pejorative it actually is like "woke" for example)
I think the "evil" in their mind is the desire for the opposite sex they find creeping in. They wouldn't want to be one of those terrible "heteronormatives" they're always attacking in interviews.
I've never seen Leia described as a domestic type. Padme wasn't a domestic type. Mon Mothma wasn't a domestic type either. What woman in real Star Wars was a domestic type?
Luke's aunt, Shmi but i am so sick of the wokes deciding what a "strong woman" is, nothing wrong with being a domestic type not all woman want to be anything else, some are very happy being domestic types the wokes are just annoyed that domestic women are not being duped into the misery that these wokes bring on to themselves
@@86BarbOmega I wasn't trying to imply that being a "domestic type" is a bad thing, just that they're claiming that Star Wars was full of women like that when they're the definite minority.
Not to mention the most terrifying character ever in SW - Syril Karn’s mother in Andor. Dude, she’d have Darth Nihlus peeing his robes in five minutes 😂
My son has showed me the clips from the show, and we thought the kid did a rather good job--going from a snarky smart-aleck (although evil enough to help poison people) to someone sinister and serpentine when he was killing people. It seemed like good acting, especially from that crowd. Now, all the women are neglecting how the actor did, effecting that character change, and only going on about how sexy he is. Isn't that what they claim to be evil in men? Why did they even make this poor boy run around without his clothes on? So that Lesbians could leer? Why would they? So that straight women could leer? Isn't that also predatory? So that Gay men could leer? Isn't that still the dreaded male gaze? The poor kid did a good turn in his role, dropping the character's "mask" of being relatively harmless and hapless in front of Sol, and this is the thing he's praised for--his outer shell. Good work, ladies. Wonderful how you rose above what went before.
Leslie Smeghead secluded a young girl at an emotional and physical disadvantage with an overbearing, evil man who has advantage over the girl on a remote tropical island. Go with what you know, I reckon.
My Acolyte review keeps getting deleted from RottenTomatos, for 9 days in a row. And if you look at every recent review it's all 5 stars now. So I think it would be way bellow 14% if they wouldn't manipulate the ratings.
If you signed into RT, you can flag reviews as spam. That's what I've been doing with 5-star reviews that explicitly say things like 'reviewbomb', 'neckbeard', 'chuds', what have you. I don't touch the 5-stars that appear genuine though. Amusingly, even though they're trying to flood the show with 5 star reviews, it's still staying down at 14%. There's just not enough positive pushback against the negativity from the first 6 episodes to overcome it (bet people get pissed off by the idiocy that's likely going to come up in the next flashback episode).
Imagine Vader, scorched mess of burn scars and ugly metal that he was, rising up out of the water naked -- and then the media shills telling us evil is tempting and must be accepted before we can find balance. Imagine it with Granddaddy Palps.
As for Luke and the dark side- Luke became a greater jedi than both of his masters because he improved the concept of the jedi by saving his father through love, as well as had enough willpower to stop himself from falling to the dark side, denying Palpatine the future he has forseen. Right after that he threw away his saber, his mission complete. Winning with Palpatine without fighting him directly, denying him a new apprentice and defeating the previous one, showing the selflessness of a true jedi. There is no greater jedi in the history of star wars than Luke for those reasons alone. He became a jedi his father always wanted to be, a hero who will come to save you no matter how far you're gone and how hopeless you feel. Saying that Luke had to embrace the dark side is so fundamentally wrong I can pretty much ignore everything that person is saying about star wars.
What the sick people who made this do not understand is that it's not about having an internal balance between being evil and being good. It's about integrating your shadow. If you don't understand the evil that lives within you (as these people do not) then you will not be able to resist acting on it in incredibly destructive and self-destructive ways.
It feels like all their arguments about us being sexist are kinda thrown out the window now. If not, then this show should be renamed to the Hypocrite.
1:53 - I don't CARE how vulnerable and lonely and lost Kylo is because he murdered his dad because HE MURDERED HIS DAD (and a lot of other people)! That makes him irredeemable. He's EVIL and he needs to be stopped and punished, not understood, forgiven and turned into your new love interest.
They do know that the original trilogy had the ultimate "bad boy" that all the girls loved, don't they? Untamed, self-assured potentially a bit dangerous and definitely able to take care of himself. Unpredictable but ultimately heroic. That's the level of "bad" that is attractive. Not a full on murdering psycopath - and one that has just slaughtered everyone in sight to boot. That's just sick.
Thank you. I put a similar comment in an earlier video where I noted that there's a big difference between a smuggler who basically only does financial damage to the government and a murderer who not only encouraged someone to assassinate four people who were just living their lives but who also dropped in out of nowhere to attack and kill a large number of people. He claims to have done it in self-defense but they didn't know he was there until he attacked! He could have easily gotten away without the Jedi being any the wiser, especially since none of the Jedi in The Acolyte seem to be able to use the Force to sense anything they can't see with their eyes.
What’s worse is that guy didn’t want to do the scene but because all the 🐌 trails on set the PA to Harvey Weinstein forced him and made them rewrite almost all the episode. Pretty disgusting and nobody talks about how Harvey’s PA is still doing this stuff
Evil always targets the children because they are the most vulnerable. You think the agenda being pushed in schools, social media, and in shows like this is just a coincidence? It's about normalization and it is much easier to brainwash children because they have no defense against it.
They did a mid season re-write to force in a male / female dynamic, likely in response to millions of people laughing at them for their lesbian space witches. 🤣
The funny thing is Manny Jacinto said that this episode was going to be like a soft reset for the series where everyone's priorities get re-evaluated... Turns out he was right, just not in the way we expected.
Fanfiction smut writers. Watch out for an episode title with the word "lemon." If they could redo the original trilogy (and I wouldn't doubt them doing a remake), they would have Darth Vader in black briefs, boots, his helmet, and maybe the cape going up to Luke saying, "Who's your daddy? I am your daddy!"
So wait....ALL these articles are from mostly women PRAISING the character for being everything that they spent the last few years demonizing and attacking men for? What the hell is happening?
The ICanFixHims are strong with this new Disney fanbase.Remember, there's no good and evil, just 50 shades of Jedi. Edit: Secluded away on Epstien"s isl... I mean the unknown planet.
Sometimes I pinch myself hoping to wake up from this never-ending nightmare, only to realize that this is the unfortunate reality I have to live in. A reality in which the loonies of the film industry have infested all that is sacred, and like flesh eating bacteria have withered away the classics like Star Wars to nothingness.
The only way they win is if you acknowledge it. This stuff doesn't exist in my book, it's disney fiction. The true, Lucas OK'ed, expanded universe of books and games are the authentic continuation of the original trilogy. Get out of the nightmare of dsw and dream about what happens through the books/games/RPG even, plus youtube fanfiction...authentic Star Wars still exists! 😁👍
When they write "must learn to accept the Dark Side" what the journalists are doing is showing how they do not understand Star Wars lore (even from the original films). Luke did not accept the Dark Side, he managed to pass through the Dark Side and NOT be fascinated/enthralled it. In doing so, he grew and matured, having passed the test and his reward was self-control and true power over himself, whereas his father had failed that test and had been an immensely powerful warlord enthralled to a master in the person of the Emperor. Luke became free by NOT accepting (giving into) the Dark Side, whereas Vader became the tool of another and the Emperor lost all his humanity, being ruled by his will to dominate. Additionally, they are engaging in that Marxist practice of redefining things to force in their own concepts, thus the Dark Side goes from being the lust for power (bad) to being suppressed desire (good - because all things suppressed are good in their discourse). This being "a female centric" story, therefore accepting the Dark Side does not become either sexual awakening or learning to control one's temper but instead means acting like a bitch on heat AND being in a permanent rage (because justified). This kind of writing is ultimately circular because the character journey is not to grow and mature but to be utterly self-centred and have the social world acknowledge and bow to that "personal knowledge". These people are evil.
Of course they are, that's why Headland said in an interview that she identifies as a Sith. She wants the power to do whatever she wants to whoever she wants, regardless of their feelings on the matter. That kind of selfishness that doesn't consider other people's viewpoints as important or meaningful in any way IS evil.
This very much a R-strategy female story. 1. Do we have a "I'm so plain" (but actually pretty) female lead? Check! 2. Do we have an emotionally distant, murderous, powerful villain? Yep! 3. Does the powerful villain pick out the "plain" female character and slaughter all those around her to capture her? Yep! 4. Is he fascinated with her and start to passively break down her resistance to sleeping with him? You betcha! 5. Will she end up "enthralling" him and leading to become her lapdog? Yes. The Acolyte is fanfiction and the low-IQ journalists lap up this rubbish.
Man when i was a kid these special books for women. Had there own little dark corner in some stores. Now they are getting 180million to make a series out of it
you missed the past 2 decades where those went from being in books to being spread all over the web written by mid age horny women and now are in the industry
This whole series is insane... the OT had 3 guys women could have a crush on: a rebellious, rough on the edges adventurer in Han Solo; an idealistic dreamer that becomes the hero in Luke and the suave, charming Lando. They knew they had casted 3 handsome guys. Plenty women had an eye on them. But no one ever thought to change the characters or story to cater to it, all 3 were interesting, intriguing and well acted characters. Neither was evil or a bad guy. Lando had his weak moments obviously but he fought against the empire in the end. Leia was a great character on her own as well. It's disturbing to me anyone would think making a Star Wars show from basically wattpad dark fanfiction
Hell, I'd argue Lando wasn't weak but he had to make tough decisions. Ended up running Cloud City, after a backstory that painted him sketchy, and had to choose between betraying his friend or betraying the people he was supposed to protect as their leader. I don't envy the situation and can't fault him for his decision. And once it became moot he joined the rebellion without hesitation, something even Han didn't do.
If representation is the goal, Disney has seriously missed the mark. There are plenty of female, gay or black etc people who actually have serious acting and writing chops. But the people they always pick are truly awful representations of non white, non straight male talent.. This will end up doing a lot more damage to their cause in the long run.
The issue is that it's not enough to be non white, non straight, non male but you also need to be actively part of the church of 'woke'. My warning was always that these kind of people are dangerous when they get even a sniff of power as they will relentlessly hire based on ideology and immutable biological characteristics rather than skill and talent. In any case the cause is already dead. We can see it in the general rejection of almost everything connected to the ideology. There are still the thought leaders, the paid shills and the die-hards but most people seem to have agreed that Disney Star Wars is hot garbage.
That scene in Human Traffic, where Moff's off his face in at the house party and explaining how Han is an intergalactic smack dealer, remember that one? Yeah, that one scene is better than any actual Star Wars made since then.
I will say this Luke did use the Darkside to beat Vader but then Luke saw who he would become who his father had become and rejected the dark side not embrace it "I am Jedi like my father before me."
So.... is this article saying we should totally turn to the dark side because some random sith dude is hot? Obi Wan: Vader was seduced by the dark side.... literally. He a saw a sexy sith and was all like 'I'm in!'.
@@kimrasmussen7188 Didnt make sense. Dude killed 8 master Jedi then the Padawan who was training by twirling a stick in the previous episode almost girlbosses him to death. Immediately threw away everything that fight established about Qimir. They set him up to be a badass then cut his legs out from under him and made him a punk b*tch. The only scene with Jecki should have been her panicking or trying to run and him just force lifting her by the throat and choking the life out of her eyes and discarding her. That would have made an impact (provided they had done the character work to make Jecki likeable and were actually attempting to make ppl feel like the obviously evil murdering villain is what he actually is)

They were inspired by Kylo and Rey...so they think the male audience is "toxic" but they got inspired by shippers...THE most toxic group in ANY fanbase. Rabid to the point of literal violence, who actually sent threats and stalked Adam and Daisy and tried to ruin their REAL relationships.
Hedland seems to agree with whichever journalist is feeding her lines. The amount of examples agreed to when asked 'is this what you were going for' proves she didn't have any set ideas. Just liked a scene from this IP and a scene from that with no cohesion and stuck them on screen which shows. Just like when asked 'what's your favourite SW property' her answer was 'all of them'. In other words, she gives it little thought. The journalist was giving that interview on their preferences. She was there to nod her head.
@@tkps I think the Reylo influence is pretty clear to see in the episode though. Disney in nigh all of its new Star Wars projects has been trying to cater to a female audience, and one of the loudest female fanbases from recent Star Wars productions has been the Reylos. The scenes are even fairly similar -- Kylo standing there with his shirt off talking to Rey calmly, while Rey is on an island...Rey accusing Kylo of murdering Han Solo, but that accusation doesn't go anywhere and she continues to listen and talk to him... I agree Leslie didn't think through her ideas enough to cohere them in narrative, but several prominent ideas do seem to drive the show. The "appeal to Reylo fans" idea may not have been the most prominent one with the highest priority, but I can see its influence pretty clearly in episode 6.
OSHA woke up in a cave, then immediately went to inspect the safety railings outside. As she emerges from the gaping gash in the mountainside, right outside, looming over her, is a huge pillar of stone. Nice bit of foreshadowing for her fondling Smilo Ren's girthy lightsaber shaft.
Ever since the Rebels series (at least, and maybe earlier) there’s been a drive to amoralize the Force, and this show is the inevitable conclusion of that effort. The dark side users don’t even have distorted eyes anymore, something that clearly shows the audience the evil of the dark side. Count Dooku was only an exception to this rule, but now it’s the other way around. The drive to portray the Jedi as an evil institution instead of a good-but-flawed organization fighting against evil is also disgusting. But, to people who have no morals I’d expect nothing less. I look forward to the day Disney fades into nothingness, and I’ll be happy to contribute to their downfall.
So...let me get this straight. They're stating over and over that the Sith is fem coded and is taking on the role of the woman, but at the same time his aesthetic is loser? And this show is supposed to be all about the power of the feminine. I'm confused and it sounds like everyone that had anything to do with this show is too.
I'm still impressed Disparu was able to find these ancient articles in the pop culture museum, carried by the banners of long-dead publications - Salon, Kotaku. Such funny names they had back then! Shake off the digital dust, correct the incompatible format errors, and there y'are, it's like the years just fall away. Even stranger are the ideas. How could people have thought "teh ghey is rad!!" back then? Like whatever, pueriles.
"Qimir is violent and dark which makes him appealing to women because it implies he would accept their darkness as well" is a really obtuse way to say that you are a person that is terrible to be in a relationship with.

The Acolyte reviews have praised Star Wars turning to be Reylo fanfic. As Amandla Stenberg falls for a Sith Lord again, The Acolyte isn't targeted at the normal audience. In fact it is aimed to be exactly the opposite in both target demographic and moral lens. While this has had the effect of crashing the audience score, Leslye Headland doesn't seem to care about reviews at all. Instead seemingly to love the reviews about how thirsty all of the interviewers are. Turning the entire show into just fawning over the evil man in the script. The show definitely achieved it's singular goal. To not appeal to the audience. But the issue is, as Leslye Headland is writing what she knows, and all of the critical reviewers double down on feelings over analysis. Will ANYONE be sane enough to realise, this isn't the basis of a story. And these are the easiest, most basic, by default obtained audience you can get. But what did you think? Let me know your thoughts down below and as always, thanks for watching :)
They want sooooooo badly to replace the old audience of Star Wars with the sort of women who love "Twilight" and "Fifty Shades of Grey". It makes a weird kind of sense: Disney's core audience has always been girls who fantasize about being princesses. So when they acquired Star Wars and Marvel, they immediately started thinking of ways to pull in the older versions of that audience: women who fantasize about being seduced by dangerous, sexy men, and "fixing" those dangerous, sexy men into family-men.
Liked it immediately for the title 😂. Disparu thank you for this.
Man I want to agree, but the actual data, not random reviews, shows the show is doing well and is being well recieved, despite how fucking trash it is.
How much do you want to bet the lake scene mirrored Hedland’s original interview with Harvey Weinstein. She was attracted by his money & saw him as powerful and went to the dark side having been seduced.

"I can change him."
That's *precisely* what this feels like!
Leslie wants us to “fall in love with evil”? I guess she learned well from Harvey
Actually, based on the fact that she has all but admitted she wanted an incestuous relationship with her sister when she was younger, I think she was already fully committed to the Dark Side well before she started working with Harvey.
Evil may be sexy, sure, but that's lust and fleeting. You want to love someone who will treat you well and that will last.
Shame Disney has forgotten this.
You already did champ.
Evil knocked on the gate and you asked who was there.
Evil told you 'tolerance' and 'diversity'.
And you opened the gate up nice and wide.

Reminder: Brick Face thought _Frozen_ was about incestuous lesbian romance. Her RL sister refuses to speak to her. _The Acolyte_ is apparently a message/love letter to that sister. _DO THE MATH!_
But wait, it gets worse. Brick Face has basically admitted to stalking Amandla Stenberg for years after her Hunger Games role (when Stenberg was 13), and made the role for her specifically. Literally showed up to her with all the concept art ready-made, all showing images/portraits of Stenberg specifically, all before Stenberg even knew this project was in the works. Rather than notice the obvious red flags, she ran with it (and God knows what else behind closed doors).
This entire series is nothing but a teenage girl's "bad boy" fantasy fan fiction. And not even a good one for that genre.
Harvey's minion dating scheme
Pretty much.
I didn't realize that Luke Skywalker whining about picking up power converters and how he can't see in his helmet and Han Solo's bragging and bluffing ways were considered "Ultra-masculine tough guys", and Princess Leia, who stood up to Darth Vader and Tarkin, lied to their faces even when her own planet was in danger, and took charge of her own rescue when it fell apart, was considered a "domestic female character" or "problematic stereotype". Seriously, have they even watched the first movie at all?
No, no, they haven't.
I'm pretty sure that Lesbian Headlamp, former P(ervert)Assistant to Harvey Weinstein, has stated in interviews that she wanted "writers and crew who have never seen George Lucas' version of Star Wars and therefore couldn't be influenced by anything he did". i'e. write characters, story, plot, world building, things that made sense and that people wanted to watch in their millions, rather than this low-grade, wish-fulfulling, contradictotry hogwash.
But what about Anakin blowing up the Death Star though?
That was pretty ultra-masc tough guy behavior, killing those millions of people.
To those dumbasses, woman is only tough when she purs on armour or something. And Leia wore a dress. Oh the oppression!
So funny, good one. I almost had to do a thinking double take. 🤣
For thousands of years, people have been telling stories of "good overcoming evil". Now Disney want us to sympathise with the bad guys? Never gonna happen!
Come to the dark side ... we have cookies
They've been doing this crap since at least the "Maleficent" movie.
Because they are bad guys and they want people to be sympathetic to them
Yes, they want us to sympathize with them. If we do, then that PROVES they're not the bad guys, but the victims, right? Right?

So, it’s not cool for a woman to be in an armor bikini but this is ok? The hypocrisy is so blatant it hurts.
In the same article where the writer criticizes the bikini scene for pandering to male fantasies, she compliments the shirtless scene/s. What is wrong with people?
@@randomps2gamer283 Ideological puritanism? Most of these people have stewed in an ideology that has a completely binary view of how the world works. Basically it boils down to everything they support is good and they are fully justified in carrying out any act in order to preserve that. Meanwhile the other side is pure evil and every action they take is somehow bad (even altruistic acts will be interpreted as somehow being in bad faith).
I'd postulate that the writers POV is that all women are good, all men are bad. Therefore pandering to the male fantasy is bad, pandering to the female fantasy is good.

This recent movie cliché of "hot male villain who acts strong and masculine, but is 100% respectful to women despite murdering scores of innocent people in cold blood" is just embarrassing. This spat of awful male characters doesn't "mansplain" or speak badly of women, so despite the fact they are obviously evil, suddenly they are just "misunderstood" and "redeemable". Seriously, _this_ shyte is what passes for modern writing?
It's the fantasy of a very tiny group of very broken women, which is then used to lead other women into being broken themselves--just like Headland did. SOP for a machine that runs on exploitation, whether it's Disney or those Mafia stooges in Romania.
The "writers" desperately want the bad boy but he's also nice and respectful to be a thing. Instead of writing how real "bad boys" are, which usually ends in drug cases, a police report, and the words "We the jury find the defendant..."
Except when they change him they lose all attraction to him.
It's called the President Snow effect. And it's reprehensible.

While I absolutely adore the trope in romance books, for any tv series or movie, it's absolutely cringe. And yes, it's arguably cringe in books too, but I'm not saying my Kindle history is high-brow or anything 😅
I'm not understanding this as taming or saving the bad boy ... I'm reading this as the desire to join the bad boy in his evil. They hate beauty in all its forms - inner moral beauty and outer physical beauty. "Love evil and hate good"
No, they just want evil. Headland is seducing women to join the evil side by throwing in a sexy guy. Seduction works both ways. Some women do it to men.

Women complain about toxic masculinity, then drench the surrounding area whenever a male character displays his toxic masculinity. Even the lesbian writer wasn't immune.
Really it just proves that the current entertainment industry has a problem in that it now identifies with evil. Toxic straight white men are a problem until they are evil. Then they are perfectly OK for women to fawn over.
Because a lesbian is still a woman and they can't help it with a man who has standards, morals and discipline.

My son has showed me the clips from the show, and we thought the kid did a rather good job--going from a snarky smart-aleck (although evil enough to help poison people) to someone sinister and serpentine when he was killing people. It seemed like good acting, especially from that crowd. Now, all the women are neglecting how the actor did, effecting that character change, and only going on about how sexy he is. Isn't that what they claim to be evil in men? Why did they even make this poor boy run around without his clothes on? So that Lesbians could leer? Why would they? So that straight women could leer? Isn't that also predatory? So that Gay men could leer? Isn't that still the dreaded male gaze?

As for Luke and the dark side- Luke became a greater jedi than both of his masters because he improved the concept of the jedi by saving his father through love, as well as had enough willpower to stop himself from falling to the dark side, denying Palpatine the future he has forseen. Right after that he threw away his saber, his mission complete.
Winning with Palpatine without fighting him directly, denying him a new apprentice and defeating the previous one, showing the selflessness of a true jedi. There is no greater jedi in the history of star wars than Luke for those reasons alone. He became a jedi his father always wanted to be, a hero who will come to save you no matter how far you're gone and how hopeless you feel.
Saying that Luke had to embrace the dark side is so fundamentally wrong I can pretty much ignore everything that person is saying about star wars.
What the sick people who made this do not understand is that it's not about having an internal balance between being evil and being good. It's about integrating your shadow.

1:53 - I don't CARE how vulnerable and lonely and lost Kylo is because he murdered his dad because HE MURDERED HIS DAD (and a lot of other people)! That makes him irredeemable. He's EVIL and he needs to be stopped and punished, not understood, forgiven and turned into your new love interest.
They do know that the original trilogy had the ultimate "bad boy" that all the girls loved, don't they? Untamed, self-assured potentially a bit dangerous and definitely able to take care of himself. Unpredictable but ultimately heroic. That's the level of "bad" that is attractive. Not a full on murdering psycopath - and one that has just slaughtered everyone in sight to boot. That's just sick.
Thank you. I put a similar comment in an earlier video where I noted that there's a big difference between a smuggler who basically only does financial damage to the government and a murderer who not only encouraged someone to assassinate four people who were just living their lives but who also dropped in out of nowhere to attack and kill a large number of people. He claims to have done it in self-defense but they didn't know he was there until he attacked! He could have easily gotten away without the Jedi being any the wiser, especially since none of the Jedi in The Acolyte seem to be able to use the Force to sense anything they can't see with their eyes.
I agree, Palpatine is hot, he has very expressive eyes and a nice smile, but he was a murderer, wasn't he? 🤨

Fanfiction smut writers. Watch out for an episode title with the word "lemon."
If they could redo the original trilogy (and I wouldn't doubt them doing a remake), they would have Darth Vader in black briefs, boots, his helmet, and maybe the cape going up to Luke saying, "Who's your daddy? I am your daddy!"
Omg your channel is creepy!
Vader in assless chaps.. oh yeah baby..
@@alexneff Good thing I don't care about your opinion. Very happy with my collections.
Briefs? Black jock strap as that leaves the back out.
@@knotengajin7359Daddy Vader in @$$-less chaps 😂😂😂
So wait....ALL these articles are from mostly women PRAISING the character for being everything that they spent the last few years demonizing and attacking men for?
What the hell is happening?

The ICanFixHims are strong with this new Disney fanbase.Remember, there's no good and evil, just 50 shades of Jedi.
Edit: Secluded away on Epstien"s isl... I mean the unknown planet.
The director is so bad....she got Osha holding Qimir's lilghtsaber in a fighting stance but the lightsaber is not even turned on.
Is that a lightsaber in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me? 😏
Actually that’s just a lightsaber in my pocket. 😅
It's not a lightsaber, is The Thread how you think women reproduce without the men DUH
Sometimes I pinch myself hoping to wake up from this never-ending nightmare, only to realize that this is the unfortunate reality I have to live in. A reality in which the loonies of the film industry have infested all that is sacred, and like flesh eating bacteria have withered away the classics like Star Wars to nothingness.
The only way they win is if you acknowledge it. This stuff doesn't exist in my book, it's disney fiction.
The true, Lucas OK'ed, expanded universe of books and games are the authentic continuation of the original trilogy.
Get out of the nightmare of dsw and dream about what happens through the books/games/RPG even, plus youtube fanfiction...authentic Star Wars still exists! 😁👍
When they write "must learn to accept the Dark Side" what the journalists are doing is showing how they do not understand Star Wars lore (even from the original films). Luke did not accept the Dark Side, he managed to pass through the Dark Side and NOT be fascinated/enthralled it. In doing so, he grew and matured, having passed the test and his reward was self-control and true power over himself, whereas his father had failed that test and had been an immensely powerful warlord enthralled to a master in the person of the Emperor.
Luke became free by NOT accepting (giving into) the Dark Side, whereas Vader became the tool of another and the Emperor lost all his humanity, being ruled by his will to dominate.
Additionally, they are engaging in that Marxist practice of redefining things to force in their own concepts, thus the Dark Side goes from being the lust for power (bad) to being suppressed desire (good - because all things suppressed are good in their discourse). This being "a female centric" story, therefore accepting the Dark Side does not become either sexual awakening or learning to control one's temper but instead means acting like a bitch on heat AND being in a permanent rage (because justified). This kind of writing is ultimately circular because the character journey is not to grow and mature but to be utterly self-centred and have the social world acknowledge and bow to that "personal knowledge".
These people are evil.
Of course they are, that's why Headland said in an interview that she identifies as a Sith. She wants the power to do whatever she wants to whoever she wants, regardless of their feelings on the matter. That kind of selfishness that doesn't consider other people's viewpoints as important or meaningful in any way IS evil.
💯
This very much a R-strategy female story.
1. Do we have a "I'm so plain" (but actually pretty) female lead? Check!
2. Do we have an emotionally distant, murderous, powerful villain? Yep!
3. Does the powerful villain pick out the "plain" female character and slaughter all those around her to capture her? Yep!
4. Is he fascinated with her and start to passively break down her resistance to sleeping with him? You betcha!
5. Will she end up "enthralling" him and leading to become her lapdog? Yes.
The Acolyte is fanfiction and the low-IQ journalists lap up this rubbish.
You are right. He just needs to say something like “.It's like you're my own personal brand of heroin.” (Twilight)
At least fanfiction is written by passsionate fans. The Acolyte is just awful without any passion.
@@suenzhong7891 I've read some really good Star Wars fanfic (and a lot of trash). This is just bad.
Man when i was a kid these special books for women. Had there own little dark corner in some stores. Now they are getting 180million to make a series out of it
you missed the past 2 decades where those went from being in books to being spread all over the web written by mid age horny women and now are in the industry
The entire Disney organization is in the "hold my beer" mode. They will burn it all down, rather than admit they missed the mark and are wrong.
They didn't miss the mark. This is their target. You don't understand the agenda.
@@kesamek8537 Semantics but you're also not wrong
This whole series is insane... the OT had 3 guys women could have a crush on: a rebellious, rough on the edges adventurer in Han Solo; an idealistic dreamer that becomes the hero in Luke and the suave, charming Lando. They knew they had casted 3 handsome guys. Plenty women had an eye on them. But no one ever thought to change the characters or story to cater to it, all 3 were interesting, intriguing and well acted characters. Neither was evil or a bad guy. Lando had his weak moments obviously but he fought against the empire in the end. Leia was a great character on her own as well. It's disturbing to me anyone would think making a Star Wars show from basically wattpad dark fanfiction
Hell, I'd argue Lando wasn't weak but he had to make tough decisions. Ended up running Cloud City, after a backstory that painted him sketchy, and had to choose between betraying his friend or betraying the people he was supposed to protect as their leader. I don't envy the situation and can't fault him for his decision. And once it became moot he joined the rebellion without hesitation, something even Han didn't do.
“I’m dark! I’m disturbed! I’ve got it all!” -George Costanza
truly the hero they asked for all along.
Disney Starwars biggest problem is lack of fans.
Well, I could argue that compelling stories and competent execution are in competition for "biggest problem".
@@jeffzeiler346 you certainly could.
They have the only important fan.
George.
And I don't mean Lucas.
You could call it The Phantom audience.
I believe this is more a "consequence" than a "cause"
If representation is the goal, Disney has seriously missed the mark. There are plenty of female, gay or black etc people who actually have serious acting and writing chops. But the people they always pick are truly awful representations of non white, non straight male talent.. This will end up doing a lot more damage to their cause in the long run.
Not so much in the long run. It's showing signs already.
The issue is that it's not enough to be non white, non straight, non male but you also need to be actively part of the church of 'woke'. My warning was always that these kind of people are dangerous when they get even a sniff of power as they will relentlessly hire based on ideology and immutable biological characteristics rather than skill and talent.
In any case the cause is already dead. We can see it in the general rejection of almost everything connected to the ideology. There are still the thought leaders, the paid shills and the die-hards but most people seem to have agreed that Disney Star Wars is hot garbage.
And I'm okay with that. 🤷♂️
Ota because they dont Look for Talent, Just for a Box.
And anyway dfor These people Blacks are all the Same .
That scene in Human Traffic, where Moff's off his face in at the house party and explaining how Han is an intergalactic smack dealer, remember that one? Yeah, that one scene is better than any actual Star Wars made since then.
I will say this Luke did use the Darkside to beat Vader but then Luke saw who he would become who his father had become and rejected the dark side not embrace it "I am Jedi like my father before me."
You're nailing it, keep the great work!
Well at least they are being honest... They fall for evil because they are evil.
So.... is this article saying we should totally turn to the dark side because some random sith dude is hot?
Obi Wan: Vader was seduced by the dark side.... literally. He a saw a sexy sith and was all like 'I'm in!'.
Leslie Headland’s green Jedi wife that has no acting ability is the sith’s master. I’m calling it. Her wife has to be there to the end.
Yep,I agree.
Thought same. And how theyll explain away no one knowing this happened
So are they trying to claim leia & padme were domestic women? Have they ever watched the original star wars?
I Can Fix Him: The tv series.
Says the fandom that shipped Shin Hati with Sabine Wren, instead of Ezra Bridger.
As much as I enjoy the pure comedy of your channel, most appreciate your consistent focus on the battle between Good and Evil.
Everything about Disney Star Wars is pretty awful
jeckis fight was good. everything else has been painful or worse...
@@kimrasmussen7188 Didnt make sense. Dude killed 8 master Jedi then the Padawan who was training by twirling a stick in the previous episode almost girlbosses him to death. Immediately threw away everything that fight established about Qimir. They set him up to be a badass then cut his legs out from under him and made him a punk b*tch. The only scene with Jecki should have been her panicking or trying to run and him just force lifting her by the throat and choking the life out of her eyes and discarding her. That would have made an impact (provided they had done the character work to make Jecki likeable and were actually attempting to make ppl feel like the obviously evil murdering villain is what he actually is)
@@AnoneemusNoename qimir is a loser.
remember who he chose as his acolyte.
also the fact that he didnt make a full set of cortosis armor when they show theres plenty of it.
strength is not so important in a lightsaber fight, speed and agility is better, and she had both
This is what Disney wants to teach children: if a hot guy kills all of your friends, that's a sign of lewdness, stability, and the perfect partner!
This man deserves a medal for suffering through all of this, so we don't have to.
This is basically the series version of a soft core romance novel aimed at women
It's not even that it's literally a wattpad adaptation slap unto star wars.
They were inspired by Kylo and Rey...so they think the male audience is "toxic" but they got inspired by shippers...THE most toxic group in ANY fanbase. Rabid to the point of literal violence, who actually sent threats and stalked Adam and Daisy and tried to ruin their REAL relationships.
Hedland seems to agree with whichever journalist is feeding her lines. The amount of examples agreed to when asked 'is this what you were going for' proves she didn't have any set ideas. Just liked a scene from this IP and a scene from that with no cohesion and stuck them on screen which shows. Just like when asked 'what's your favourite SW property' her answer was 'all of them'. In other words, she gives it little thought. The journalist was giving that interview on their preferences. She was there to nod her head.
@@tkps I think the Reylo influence is pretty clear to see in the episode though. Disney in nigh all of its new Star Wars projects has been trying to cater to a female audience, and one of the loudest female fanbases from recent Star Wars productions has been the Reylos. The scenes are even fairly similar -- Kylo standing there with his shirt off talking to Rey calmly, while Rey is on an island...Rey accusing Kylo of murdering Han Solo, but that accusation doesn't go anywhere and she continues to listen and talk to him... I agree Leslie didn't think through her ideas enough to cohere them in narrative, but several prominent ideas do seem to drive the show. The "appeal to Reylo fans" idea may not have been the most prominent one with the highest priority, but I can see its influence pretty clearly in episode 6.
OSHA woke up in a cave, then immediately went to inspect the safety railings outside. As she emerges from the gaping gash in the mountainside, right outside, looming over her, is a huge pillar of stone. Nice bit of foreshadowing for her fondling Smilo Ren's girthy lightsaber shaft.
Ever since the Rebels series (at least, and maybe earlier) there’s been a drive to amoralize the Force, and this show is the inevitable conclusion of that effort. The dark side users don’t even have distorted eyes anymore, something that clearly shows the audience the evil of the dark side. Count Dooku was only an exception to this rule, but now it’s the other way around.
The drive to portray the Jedi as an evil institution instead of a good-but-flawed organization fighting against evil is also disgusting. But, to people who have no morals I’d expect nothing less.
I look forward to the day Disney fades into nothingness, and I’ll be happy to contribute to their downfall.
So...let me get this straight. They're stating over and over that the Sith is fem coded and is taking on the role of the woman, but at the same time his aesthetic is loser? And this show is supposed to be all about the power of the feminine. I'm confused and it sounds like everyone that had anything to do with this show is too.
Disparu, you have a "what the heck, I'll laugh anyway" laugh. Love your roast videos.

He can't be a knight of ren..... he would be about 150 years old by then
Being one of your first followers i love seeing you grow your channel & consistently demoralize these broken franchises. Well done!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Their sickness and confusion is showing…
I'm still impressed Disparu was able to find these ancient articles in the pop culture museum, carried by the banners of long-dead publications - Salon, Kotaku. Such funny names they had back then!
Shake off the digital dust, correct the incompatible format errors, and there y'are, it's like the years just fall away.
Even stranger are the ideas. How could people have thought "teh ghey is rad!!" back then? Like whatever, pueriles.
"The dark side is very, very human"?
Someone forgot when Anakin slaughtered a dozen 5-year-old padawans in cold blood.
I love how this "official Disney commentary" sounds like erotic audio book. Gets me every single time
"Qimir is violent and dark which makes him appealing to women because it implies he would accept their darkness as well" is a really obtuse way to say that you are a person that is terrible to be in a relationship with.
10k views in just an hour. You doing better than Disney on watching audience. Congrats
Mermaid Man when watching the Acolyte:
"Evil! EEEEVVVVIIILLLLLLL!!!!!"
Not the wives of serial killers, but the ones who exhange letters with serial killers in prison.
Reminds me of when Anakin tells Padme he killed an entire group of sand people, even the women and children, which apparently turned her on, because she immediately decides to give him some for the first time. Bizarre af
killing younglings makes em wet as november, or so i hear.
also possible: she had secretly agreed with Anakin's hatred for sand and all its aggravations. I suppose George is the only one who really knows
These clowns can't expect 100% when they're making a series for 3% of the world's population that's not even interested in Sci-Fi.
I say the Journalists who like this show should pay the bill for it
in Poland there is a book and a movie called 365 days, where the story is about a mafia man kidnapping a woman and giving her time to fall in love with him. women leave traces like a snail when reading/watching this shit.
Well, to be fair, it's Poland. They're preparing to welcome their new overlords, you know.
@@MemoristCed Unfortunately, I know that I have a very difficult few years ahead of me

Ah yes, that euro-centric story with the ying yang force, the laser samurai and the space monks with their master, green Mr. Miyagi.
You could argue that all of that stuff could apply to Europe as well, but it's ridiculous to claim that pre-Disney SW is objectively Euro-centric.
