Darth Gollum popping around the corner is definitely the most meme-able moment of it. It was so ridiculous.
Darth Gollum lmao
and you thought his goon cave smelled bad on the outside!
Jedi's are tricksy, Precious!
It’s funny that Chris mentioned the “kitchen sink” analogy when, in Revenge of The Sith, when Lucas saw the chaos of the opening sequence, he commented to the vfx crew that they threw everything in there except the kitchen sink. So as a joke, they animated a kitchen sink hurtling into a Republic cruiser in the Final Cut. It’s small and subtle, but it’s there. I miss when Star Wars was fun even for the people working on it.
The passion is gone from the creators & their audience, unfortunately.
@@ioncewasmikey'passion' is a word that's not recognized by mega corporations such as Disney.
I remember watching ROTS and feeling so many emotions. I remember once it was over the 6 movies was a circuit to me. A fascinating thing was that when I realized that episode 3 was being put out on DVD I had bought it and I had taken the first sets of movies and I had given them to my sister and brother-in-law because I was getting ready to move but after Revenge of the Sith and then I heard it was going to be out and I thought okay I need to go to the store I went to buy myself an episode 2 and then I looked for Phantom Menace and could not find it anywhere. I went to every store that normally sells movies from Walmart Kmart everywhere out to Blockbuster even they had nothing for sale that was Phantom Menace. I had to buy it off eBay it was that I wasn't sure cuz I asked him I said did everyone come in here looking at buying The Phantom Menace cuz that's the only thing that would have made sense why it there wasn't it was nowhere and they said no they had nobody asking for it but but after when I knew that it was finally going to come out even though I watched it five times in the theater there was always something extra that I knew there was something that was in there that was going to be something I missed and even afterwards three or four times a day I could do just because there was so much going on each one of those lightsaber duels was completely different they weren't exactly the same and compared to what Disney garbage has made I mean forget about it Revenge of the Sith the greatest lightsaber duels ever nobody will ever come close to that that to me is perfect
Aside from the fact that Gary and his team lay into Disney like no other channel I have ever seen…one thing I appreciate most is how they clearly explain a product’s flaws and failures better than any other channel I have come across.
The most interesting thing to come out of The Crapolyte is Amandla's Diss track video.
It is the absolute peak of self-glorifying, self-victimising entitled narcissism.
And on Juneteenth too lol
I have absolutely no doubt that was part of plan all along
Another interesting thing is how the 'writers' invented the pro/antagonist-fluid character.
At least in the diss track she had facial expressions and not a blank face like in the series.
@@fionarras4736 which also explains lack of expressions in show.. I’ve seen some particularly unfortunate screenshot thumbnails from that cringe jackpot
@@IstariAzul777 :D Like: "No, not that face! Make..ok just stare please!"
Darth Plagis looks like Roger from American dad
And "Master" Rwoh looks like Kif Kroker, Zapp Brannigan's sidekick from Futurama 👽
Oh, man, I'll never unsee that now!!
Ha! That'd be a great meme.
Hey it’s that Professional Gamer guy Gary! I saw him on Fox News!
Is he a Druid ?
I want to see Gary play elden ring
Funny, he doesn't look Druish!@@neonemptiness8152
He mainly plays that Gollum game
@@RoyalFizzbin it was one of most inspiring things I’ve ever seen . Magnificent
the two bodies one person thing just makes me think Captain Kirk in The Enemy Within 🤣
Except that I actually cared about BOTH of those characters (even though really only one).
I think Gary is 100% right.
In season two, they're gonna say that Plagueis sampled DJ Aniseya's Thread Mix without properly crediting her.
Yeah so white dude is involved knew since they had no horns. 😂😂😂
Yeah! Like Robin Thicke and Pharrell Williams lol!
That thumbnail was hilarious lol.😂
As far as I can tell, the moral of this tale is folk needing to be careful around unpredictable psychopaths who gaslight them and end up killing them. Poor Sol... 😂
@AnoneemusNoename 😂 I hear ya, but forget gender, I reckon. This series is wild...
A summary of this series: Sol casually meets two psychopathic children and their psychopathic parents, & as a result, gets utterly mentally shafted and killed, after which his reputation is trashed by his psychopathic superior from his Jedi order. This is a cautionary tragic tale. 😂
Also don’t forget that his superior threw him under the bus to cover up the crimes of her ex-padawan. She didn’t want the public to know about her own failure that she ended up betraying her own friend.
@@nont18411 Totes. Scary world out there... Poor bastard!
Also you forget apparently Sol loved whichever twin it was..... which given it is said about the past when the twins were CHILDREN is really disturbing.
Alans Comparison between Master Squidgame and Creepy Biden was hillariously funny.
"By bleeding on it (her light saber) I turned it red. I read it on Wikipedia" 😂😂😂
So stupid !!!
‘Wookiepedia’… it most likely happened that way 🙄
Nerdrotic is here! Yay! Please lump me in with him so I can be labeled an ‘ist’ and a ‘phobe’.
Too late! 😆
light whip looked like Space Balls.
My favorite part of Star Wars is when Anakin invented lightsabers and the force and used them to unclog the death star
Chris nailed it. Star Wars has just become exhausting.
Traveling across the galaxy is apparently quicker than going through TSA on Earth
May and Osha’s mom died by accident during a rescue attempt. Saul was killed on purpose.
How does anyone see the latter in any form of a good light?
Headland's sister is now absolutely sure she made the right decision to walk away from her. Nobody normal wants a sister that has the hots for them. She's also likely embarrassed by Headland's warped fanfic. I challenge any of the DEI hires to create something original that regular people like.
Headlamp’s sister 💯% vindicated
Just remember Lesbian Headlamp seems a lot like that Lena Dunham lady.
Both are sex obsessed creeps and both have bad relationships with their sisters, in Lena's case due to being a creep sexually towards hers sister..... so I wonder about Lezzy and what made her sister hate her so much to cut her off?
'The Acolyte: A PMS Story'. ;)
Kathleen Kennedy: "Joyn the dark side. Make this Show, Lesley. Do it."
Lesley Headland: "Yes, my Dark Lord."
Kk ‘’Make everyone evil in this show”.
‘Make them lie, kill, and be boring. ‘.
Oh please!
Everybody knows between KK & Lesley KK is the Bottom Bish in that relationship.
Lesley wearing a lightsaber strap-on standing over a nakid KK straped to a table.
Call it a
BOARDROOM MEATING!!!
☠️🤣😏😎
@@autecheee "but this time put two chicks in it and make them lame and gay!"
Weinstein’s personal assistant joined the dark side long before she joined Disney.
Leslie: "The star wars fans have been taking care of My master"
Kathleen: "it is finished then"
Guys, this isn't our Star Wars. This is Disney's Alternative Universe. Ever since the failed sequels, that new AU has been going and has no connection to the original Expanded Universe. This is exactly like Old Biff going back in time to give his younger self the sports almanac and changing history up to 1984. That is what happened to Lucasfilm and Star Wars when Disney bought it. A separate worst timeline was created, but the Expanded Universe line is still going adjacent to it. This terrible timeline we are living in needs to be set right with some other company buying the Lucasfilm IP and bring it back to its former glory again. "Agatha All Along" needs to be canned like the "Black Bart" failed TV series was back in the 70s.
That is the back of, "Yogert" at the end, not, "Yoda".
“Moichandising!”
Yeah, if KK cried during the pitch that easily confirms how totally ill-equipped she is to be heading LucasFilm. Why? NOT because she cried. BUT because she focused on that story and didn't ask the CRITICAL question: does this make sense in star wars?...which is HER PRIMARY JOB!
Her job was to destroy the SW patriarchy. And she succeeded.
She really isnt doing a favor to womankind, instead of proving they are not emotional messes, she just shows all it takes is some lame emotional fanfiction BS is enough to override commonsense and quality writing.
Awesome! They have achieved 20% of the original audience. If they can just get it down to about 9%, they will have finally reached the audience they have been working toward! Mission accomplished everybody!!
9%
Wow you are generous.
I was thinking they were gunning for 2%
It all makes sense if you consider that the goal was to double down and reinforce The Last Jedi. The jedi are evil, therefore Luke is justified in his decision to end the jedi. They go back to the same island. "Anyone can use the force" even space witches. If there is a Rey movie it will be based on Acolyte mythos.
9:30 - Pretty much all of us knew about Darth Plegueis. He's the centrepoint of all the prequel memes. But that's not a story the Jedi would tell you...
Thank you. My jaw dropped when they were talking.
I bet that wasn't Plagueis... that was one of Plagueis' moms!
My theory on why Sol's English got worse is that the scenes in Episode 7 were filmed first. So he'd practiced his lines but didn't understand what anyone was saying, and that's why things like his laugh when the Aes Sedai... I mean Jedi Trinity mocked him for not having a padawan, was so unnatural and disconnected.
If this is based on Leslie Hedley and her sister, is she the sister that turned to the Dark Side and murdered Sol, or the child arsonist serial killer that ended up menory-wiped?
This Memory whiping thing is wat Lesly wants in regard of Harvey. And Sol takes the position of Harvey and gets his punishment handed by Lesley.
I am just glad I don't have to see Lego Headland in the thumbnails anymore.
I have a feeling that when they finished principle production, someone said "I get the idea you pitched, but that's not what was filmed" and they had to go back and start doing reshoots to try and make things make sense. I also believe that all of the script contradictions that were in pretty much every episode were AI interpretation of 'subverting expectations' because that's how AI does it.
It’s so wild how Disney thinks they just put a bow on it.
Gary wearing the padres hat is such a W
The thumbnail for this video needs to be on a t-shirt..😂
Lezzy Headland took elements from the KOTOR games, the KOTOR comic, and Kurasawa's Roshamon just to make a schizophrenic Frankenstein facsimile.
Don’t forget they edited the hell out of this show. Imagine what got cut out if this was their final product? 😳😳😳
Well as someone who even in my youth recognized my bad writing, I would say a TON of boring scenes that drag on and do nothing, not even really develop characters, just rambling and pushing plot points without a care for logic or in character knowledge as opposed to author knowledge.
I could go on but you get the point.
It is why I am terrified to write again, I fear that even knowing what i do I will make my own Acolyte crapfest.
..and the Sith mass murderer and the Worst Ex-Padawan of the Century gaze off into the sunset with a sigh of relief. Ready to face the future with STUNNING BRAVERY as they fly around the galaxy like Mickey and Mallory from 'Natural Born Killers' fighting against "The Evil and Oppressive Jedi Order" that seeks to promote peace and prevent lunatics from committing acts of wanton slaughter! LONG LIVE OSHAMIR! The BESTEST COUPLE Since Reylo! I ❤Disney Star Wars! WOOT!
This show is an insult to actual poo...
It is also promoting a message to women and girls that is the exact OPPOSITE of what feminists should be pushing.
They bitch about toxic males, domestic abuse, patriarchy and rape culture, then have a show like this pushing the "Hook up with hot bad boy" idea.... the exact sort of guys that treat women like shit and do those terrible things.
How does that help young women? Telling them BS fantasy stories about bad boys and romance when the reality is nothing like it is on TV.
"Rou had me at rewwow". That part really mived me.
What was Plagueis doing in the cave? Recovering from an extraneous, protracted menage a trois with Osha and Qimir - True Story!
His hobby is spelunking
HAIL
I keep fluctuating wildly in my views whether the show is mostly incompetent, or mostly spiteful. Some of it is clearly just badly done. Some of it is devious, cynical, morally inverted and executed with a degree of arrogance and hauteur on-screen and off- that it is hard to see simple dumbness in it.
They only were focus on the spiteful things just to not care about making a competent series...
There's a movie from 2021 called I Care A Lot with Rosamund Pike and Peter Dinklage about two rotten women, a couple, who put old people on care centers while robbing them, in the end you left with a bad taste in the mouth for how spiteful it got picture the couple like cool girl bosses but you could see it this movie was made with competency compared to this trash from Star Wars 😅
Western Pop Culture is being destroyed intentionally.
Embrace the power of AND!
It was a spite-film made by total incompetents. Even the selection of the incompetents to make the film was a choice made out of spite.
good point.
If Acolyte IS your entry point into the world: that's sad
So, we're going for Darth PlaGollum now?
Yoda, the back of your head is ridikuluss
My heroes.
Awesome trio!
Force choke. That's it. Force choke. That's all there is. Force choke. Sol's dead. Force choke. Crank up the particle accelerator and bump us into a new universe. I can't take it any more.
Why does yoda look older than he does in ROTJ
Because the people making this show are incompetent.
Anyone remember Sleepy Hollow?
How it had such wonderful potential but, instead of using a three and five episode arch, they used a one episode arch and everything felt rushed?
It at least told a story that can be accepted by most people who see it.
Yeah I remember it. Soo much potential and such bad execution.
*Arc
Darth Rotic: Behold my mortal enemy - the door!
Sith Apprentice Xray: My lord it is an automatic door, you can just walk through it.
it seems to be working, people really do, not watching these crap shows, and rather listen about it through their fav youtubers, i hope this trend also follow through even if they makes more mandolorian episodes
Any guesses on what it is Kennedy holds over Iger?
My bet is on Epstein stuff, or Weinstein like actions in the past.
Because in this age even murder would be seen as a lesser to woke rape culture metoo stuff.
Aye man. Hollywood is the world capital of those things. It still cracks me up that they made that movie Spotlight about those Pedo Priests in the Catholic Church with zero irony. I’d put money on that whole production being nothing more than an exercise in deflection.
The drop off from Mandalorian stands out most for me
The internet is ablaze with speculation on season 2. People just can't wait!
Probably.
Yeah, no, it's a false economy.
Alan dressed as Sol and goes around looking for Vergins..... 😁
REMEMBER PLAGUEIS?! 🍇
Thank you all for watching this train wreck so millions of us out here didn’t have to suffer through it all.
I normally wouldnt have gotten the pdf ile vibe from Master Squidgame scene if I didn't know that it was Disney and who the people are that made this. Now it's obvious. Of course they went there. I'm surprised they didn't make him the good guy in the end.
“You idiots! You captured their stunt doubles!”
For MCU, instead of re-casting Thor, they should just bring in Masterson/Thunderstrike with a new actor, the Wyatt Russell USAgent, and a re-cast War Machine. They could use Terminatrix Objective storyline to re-set all of this. Get RDJ, Evans and Hemsworth back for one big movie, and to pass the torch. They could also write out Kang and bury that storyline in the same move.
Yes, these characters wouldn't be the originals, but they have a long and respected history in the comics, and as such, have developed characters.
They are not gender-swapped, colour-swapped, race-swapped copies or stand-ins from failed comic-lines.
Just a thought....
Love you guys, keep the good work coming.
I gave up on Star Wars when the Force Awakens came out - canceled my subscription. I really wouldnt be surprised if a second season was in the works.
Im sure the yoga pant wearing karens & Whole Foods devotees were brought to tears too...
OMG what's with all the naughty bots here 🙂
BTW: hello Gary!
Based Gary.
The premise makes no sense. If the jedi are currupt, then they are not jedi.
The jedi were blinded and manipulated by Palpatine.
Did any of them watch the prequels?
Very good choice of topic, thanks for the interesting videos! 🧡💖
I concede this example I'm gonna say has a lot of written lore being the longest anime/manga today, but compare how Netflix's One Piece developed their principal protagonists in only 8-9 episodes doing so a great job that normies left the series with little doubts about them and wanting more, and now see the horrible job in The Acolyte where nothing makes sense, their characters were poorly written, and everything happens BECAUSE THE PLOT SAY SO!! (kudos to Thorias Unlimited)
Moreso, both series were diverse enough but only one was well received and loved 😅
Love me some Gary!
2 Bodies, One Container.
Gary is so thoughtful to have a “wellness check” with ST-Theory also Yoda would be a more vibrant green & have more hair wouldn’t he? Obviously a modern from the Disney sequels
Its has been fun listening to everyone rip this show a new one.
I hate new tv, but i love watching youtubers make fun of it.
Gary looks cool with his Padres hat
Gary says RedLetterMedia won’t release a video until next week, because they like to have the last word and play it safe.
I’m here five days later to report that Gary 1000% nailed it. redlettermedia released a video last Tuesday night pretending it’s awful when in the first video they were unsure of the crowd and spent 90 minutes of 2 hour video talking about how wacky the culture war around the show was. RLM is quickly losing my respect.
Never forget, they also waited to release a video on Indy 5 and only after everyone hated it did they then give it a middling review.
That thumbnail 😂😂
"We don't wana go through it like an autopsy..." Que in EFAP 🤣
I wasnt crazy about bleeding a lightsaber crystal but at least in Jedi Survivor and the Vader comic comic it looked cool.
The next Disney StarWars "production" will be named "Palpatine" and it will finally do that poor character justice... 😛
The six seconds of the light whip cost 2.2 million dollars in special effects.
"Now, now, ladies, perfectly symmetrical violence never solved anything."
Greatest thumbnail ever
This was foreshadowing. They pulled Darth Plagueis the Wise out of his cave because they showed Darth Osha the Dumb.
Osha is on the light, Damask is in the shadow, this shows that they are opposites.
Clever move to tell us what nickname Osha will have without telling it directly.
Who decided we needed a Twister remake anyway?
Marketing executives who looked at the money it made decades ago.
.... and they lived happily ever after... Unfortunately all the toys are dead.
Star Wars: The Room. So bad you watch it to the end.
If they ever get rid of Kennedy the really need to recast Luke, Han and Leia.
A McGuffin, wrapped in a McGuffin, chasing a McGuffin
Game of Thrones did it right. They went back in time and added diversity that didn't take away from the story. These people needed to take their time and understand the audiance. This was a show for their Hollywood club. This is the creativity in Hollywood...its done
Has anyone realize that if you play the show from the last episode to the first backwards, the show it’s the exact same. The twins end up being in the exact opposite place as they started. I hate when shows do this. The Boys did the same thing on season 3
Two questions: 1. If it takes 3 minutes to choke to death, then is a force choke a lie? 2. Is Star Wars now worth about three fitty?
Force is Female Start Wars is prompting so much traffic to RUclips. Nerdrotic and al. will never stop talking about it.
Spoiler Alert: It wasnt Plagueis, it was Harvey Weinstein.
Wait! Wasn't HornyToadWitch the mother and Black Smoke Demon the Father? So how was she the MOTHER?? She should have said, "You killed my Mother's Scissor Partner??" How great would it have been if SquidGame had slapped the Force Chock back on Osha and they killed each other? Kewl right?
Love the video. Have a great weekend
Love the shirt Chris!
Real cultural justice warriors here!
