I gotta be honest, if I’m forced to choose between Batman movies then I’m picking The Batman Part 2 over Brave & The Bold.
its because ur a loser dude Pattison was Garbage like ur taste lol Im picking brave and the bold over pattison DOGturd trash ANY day of the week u incel lol
I think that’s logical of you.. especially if you were a fan of The Batman.
Personally I’m watching both. The Flash was a flawed film, but overall I really enjoyed most of it and I think the director will do a fine job.
It's funny how weird the discourse about The Acolyte is offline among us 45+ year olds. My friends and cousins who introduced me to Star Wars in the first place, are not hating on The Acolyte at all. They're intrigued by the story even if they don't think it's the best show in the Star Wars universe. They also liked Ahsoka and LOVED the Obi-wan finale. They don't take part in online discussion or rate movies or tv shows online.
As a fellow 45+, I concur. Not exactly what I wanted, but okay, this is what we’re doing. It’s not to the level of House of the Dragon, Andor, The Boys for me, but not every show is for every demographic. Hopefully the next show is closer to what I hope to see.
@@robertcooney77 Mid 60's here - yeah, not every show (in fact very few) are without any fault. This one is good enough to keep me watching. Definitely not awful
I’ve been a SW fan since the early 80’s. I don’t get the overwhelming hate for the Acolyte. I think it’s quite a step above the prequel films in acting, story, and FX, but I see the argument it’s about prequel level in quality.
If an old school fan doesn’t like the Acolyte and they don’t like the prequels.. I think that is consistent. If they really enjoyed the prequels but absolutely hate the Acolyte, I’m going question if it’s more about cast “diversity” rather than the show itself.
Thank you Shannon. For a minute I thought we were gonna just brush past “under the Gunn”
L O L
John Keep up the great work. I really enjoy watching you three. 😎🙌
As a casual fan, two Batmen is fine. Nobody cares. We want good stories. This is exactly why we have Elseworld stories. Being conscious with how casual fans spend their dollar is a valid concern. Every business has to weigh that. I’m excited to see both more Noir style Batman in The Batman 2 and whatever we get with Brave and the Bold. Life is short. Let’s see both as long as they are made with care.
two simultaneous Batman movie franchises will create market confusion... so if the studio is okay with diminishing returns (and, hence, no longer budget Batman movies with blockbuster numbers in mind), then fine.
Hope Antony Starr gets an Emmy nomination and win
Henry Frankenstein is the Creator of the monster in the 1931 Universal movie and the 1935 sequel Bride of Frankenstein, which Colin Clive played. It was a change made from Shelley’s novel.
Ah did not remember that. Thanks for the clarification!
Fredrick Fronkensteen!!
Weirdly, he had a friend named Victor in the first movie. 🤷
If your negative critique of a story is plot, acting, and theme then that's legit. If your critique becomes bigoted...you lose. We don't have to hear you out.
SW fandom in my life long experience has always had this element of bigots.
I was told point blank it doesn’t make sense for me to be a Star Wars fan because there are no black people in it… guess Lando didn’t count. I can totally see those guys from 25 years ago being fans of G**ks and Gamers in 2024.
About Star Wars - alert me when they bring my darling little green bean back.
Vogel looks awesome in his Rescue Rangers shirt. He also has great taste in theme parks. He is clearly too good to be mentioned in the video description.
I don’t see an issue having two Batmans (Batmen?). I think the fact that we’ll have a younger rougher more realistic Elseworld Batman with Reeves and an older fantastical dad Batman with Gunn will work just fine. 🫤🤷🏾♂️
in this conversation, people need to define what they mean by "work just fine."... by "fine," are you okay with diminished returns? As in Batman not reaching his previous box office heights again, and settling for being more of a mid-range superhero franchise?... That could be a "fine" business if the studio is budgeting accordingly... but Batman movies have always been budgeted with blockbuster expectations.
@@brandononbrand by “just fine” I mean both can exist simultaneously while reaching their full potential. As long as each is centered around quality (in writing, performance, effects) then both can/will be successful.
@@derrickp2628 it will be interesting to see what happens, because when have we ever had simultaneous live-action franchises of the same IP?
And "fullest potential" might not be much for that daddy Batman and Robin one, anyway.
We’re getting more Batman James Gunn already said it will happen
I'm just tired of Disney releasing so many bad projects. Not just Star Wars but Willow, Goosebumps, Night at the Museum, etc. And it's not me having something against diversity, the shows are just shells of what they use to be. It's like story is the last thing on their minds.
I love the new "Goosebumps" series, to be honest. It's a Sony Pictures Television production for Disney+. I'm so hyped about the Disney+ movie "Descendants: The Rise of Red."
Or maybe your taste has changed?
@@joshuamendez9959I just rewatch ESB. Nothing from Disney is on that level . I’ve like a few things from SW /Disney.
And they aren't hiring enough real, proven talent. It seems yo show with so many media level shows being a shell of what they use to be.
Mid level* not media level 😂. Damn auto-correct
I haven’t seen one person complain about race in the acolyte but defenders of the show keep citing racism.
I mean, just because you personally haven't seen it...
Gunn said Reeves hasn't finished the script yet
The Batman is one of the few recent DC movies that have made money they’re not canceling it. Lmao
You had me worried there when I didn't get my Friday notification.
Great episode guys!!!!
Great show as always, thank you!!!
What fascinates me is the group of people who hate the Acolyte also hated Kenobi...and also hated Solo...and Rise of Skywalker...and Last Jedi. But if we remember, Kenobi was supoosed to be a film. I always thought that the unjust hatred Solo got led to Kenobi becoming a show...which probably would have been better as a movie to. It goes to your point that when Disney and Lucasfilm try to give that fanbase what they want, they lose their center of gravity. Each series has it's own style and I think that is pretty cool. Andor...a dark and gritty war story...Mandalorian...tries to net young and older audiences...Acolyte...I feel like it is trying to invite new genrrations of Star Wars fans. It's a spectrum and I feel so lucky to get to see it. Some shows I like more than others, but, in the end, I am grateful I get to watch them all rather than wait 10 years for the next film.
You make some good points especially the part about the reception to Solo leading to Kenobi becoming a series. And I'm also grateful for a lot of the content we get, not all of it is my cup of tea but I enjoy most of it.
I agree with Michael, this season of _The Boys_ might be my favorite.
So far it’s my least favorite, but I love the new cast members and the development of the existing cast this season. It’s the execution I have issues with. I’m far left politically, but even I find some of the overt Trump/MAGA references distracting. But I do love seeing all the CHUDs getting upset at the show 😂😂
The people that fall into the category of toxic fans are clear and present on youtube but I imagine that while they are vocal, they are also the minority. I think they are pissed off because the shows are also bad. This is not a legitimate excuse for their behavior to be clear. I am only drawing a distinction because Wonder Woman (Amazonians), Star Wars Episode 7 (Rey before The Last Jedi), Rogue One (Jyn Erso), Aliens (Sigourney Weaver), Sicario, Terminator Franchise, Underworld, etc.... all have strong female leads and were all beloved for the most part and you didn't hear people complaining about the female leads. There is also a strong gay character in The Boys and you don't hear the same type of vitriol.
It does seem that Disney is not prioritizing good show development and execution in comparison to the other networks (HBO, Prime, Netflix, etc...) and so naturally there are people looking for evidence to explain why this is - out of frustration. Fans cannot hear and see what goes on behind closed doors at Lucasfilm but even to fair minded people - there appears to be priorities other than putting out fantastic and well developed entertainment. Disney has the resources to put out good product (look at Andor) so it's frustrating that they are absolutely failing because of whatever it is they are prioritizing over what it takes to make compelling entertainment.
Star Wars is different than most IPs because it created such a strong emotional bond with fans when the initial trilogy came out. People for the most part just want to re-experience that magic and Disney is failing.
A minority wouldn't matter except quite a few in that minority have MILLIONS of followers, subscribers and viewers. That makes a difference in spreading that kind of toxicity.
@@JohnRochaSays Exactly this. That group of jerks get over five million views per week collectively. They are also starting to pop up in media associated with a certain American political party (the Nerdrotic 🍆 was on the Glenn Beck show this week.)
This "Star Wars Civil War" is quietly growing into a real life concern.
@@JohnRochaSays That's fair. I don't follow those channels or watch their content (or I click off quickly once I realize what they are doing) - but some of them come up in my youtube feed because they are talking about content related to other channels that I do watch like your channel, Harloff and Campea. (I love the Geek Buddies btw).
I don't know what their following is but the channels that do come up look to be pretty small but I am sure there are channels out there with larger followings. I just think we are all giving them more credit than they deserve at the end of the day.
I think more people are in the group that we fit into. We just want better content because this IP means so much to so many people. Have you ever seen fan reactions to an IP that produced more sobbing adults than Star Wars (Luke showing up in Mandalorian, Rogue One, Obi vs Anakin in Revenge of the Sith, etc....) Star Wars is just different and I think most people just want Disney to care about this as much as we do.....(I'm sure they do but sometimes it just doesn't seem that way...)
I never understood the reaction to the Last Jedi. I like it alot.
Star Wars: The Apology Tour! 😂
Star Wars Acolyte is mostly fine.
People need to relax.
The false sense of ownership people have over a space fantasy is concerning.
I don’t like it a lot, but I am enjoying it. I think so it’s objectively better than Obi Wan, Boba Fett, Ashoka, and Season 3 of Mando.
Agree with John about the possible problem with Blade. Was a horrible idea giving an actor that much control over a movie project when it’s part of cinematic universe
It's not the first time an actor with sufficient clout has had approval. If they can't get it good enough then they shouldn't make it! Good on Ali - if they want a subservient quiet actor then pay him out of his contract and go ahead and hire someone with no credits who'll just shut up and act
@@MrNathansdad seems his interference is disturbing the production of this movie if given now much say he has. Not a good thing and they should just scrap the movie
@@bigd4998 That's one point of view, certainly. Another would be his veto is forcing them to not pump out another sub par film
@@MrNathansdadAgree. We shouldn’t take one rumor about a difficult actor as the reason for the film being pushed back. From all the restarts because of script changes there may have been a lot of bad ideas floating around. It’s probably a combination of issues and not just Ali.
John being shocked at Vogel and Shannon not being certain about The Batman 2 coming out when he was doubting the existence of Thunderbolts* for months 😂
WB & Jim Lee would not allow the Batman II to be cancelled it literally made them over $400M in profit and it came out during Omicron Covid so it wouldve made more $. Zaslav, Gunn, Safran, Jim Lee, & Deluca all confirmed we're 100% getting a sequel.
And executives and studios never lie or change their minds. right?? It's just never happened in the history of a studio and especially NOT at WB which has a record of stability and long term planning. What are you talking about? Haha
@@JohnRochaSays when Jim Lee speaks about DC his word is gold. Executives do lie definitely but Lee is completely transparent with anything DC since he has fully taken over after Didio was let go. He has a perfect track record and is very smart about what to reveal and what not to. Him saying The Batman II is coming is what has me more convinced its coming than Gunn saying its happening.
ngl its funny asf that Gunn has to keep coming out to say the batman 2 isn’t cancelled. it’s the 4th time now i think😂
@@Poisonous_Plants15 Bruh. Jim Lee does not have James Gunn power at WBD. Come on now. He can say what he likes. WBD at the end of the day will do what they want. Look, I choose Batman 2 over the Brave and the Bold, but I don't know if it will happen. We shall see.
@@Wolfhunter5607 Just like Joaquin said he wasn't playing the Joker numerous times....until he was, right?
If they want to quiet the haters, Star Wars needs to have Andor and Xmen97 levels of writing quality. The Acolyte is not terrible, it is holding my interest with appealing characters and good music. What is FRUSTRATING is the bad writing: Osha and Mae's motivations don't make sense from what we have seen. The writers are trying to pull off a clever twist, but stories must be extremely well written to pull off something like that. Films that did this really well are Gone Girl, Fight Club, Memento, Sixth Sense. In all of those films, the story made sense until the twists, then it really made sense.
Gunn never said the script is finished, Rocha. He said the script will be finished when Matt is ready. Matt Reeves made it hard for everyone though with the delay.
I wholeheartedly agree with John on the Batman 2 and axe the Brave and the Bold.
Feels more like people are getting overly sensitive to differing opinions. Over on Blindwave they were literally deleting comments from people giving even the slightest of criticism.
"Slight criticism"
If they're deleting anything, it's because they are far from slight criticism. Especially one account that only posts that they delete posts, 😂😂 🤡
to be fair, the "toxic side" also hates Filoni, Kennedy, etc... they're not just targeting Acolyte's showrunner and writers.
Is it possible Butcher blacked out that he unconsciously used his powers to defend himself? Like Rock Lee from Naruto
i love realistic Batman but damn how long do we have to wait to see a fantastical Batman with the bat family😭
Yeah I want to see the Bat family too.
Honestly The Batman being more “realistic” upset me a lot. I was so excited at the idea of Reeves doing a more fantastical Batman and then he decided to go in that direction.
Yeah, that Penguin trailer is great.
I went from “ why are they making this?” to “I can’t wait!” Because of this trailer and the teaser a month ago.
Im choosing the brave & the bold. I loved seeing comicbooky batmans in the flash.
Great show.... sorry I couldn't stay for the boys part. I haven't seen it yet
AEW has been slowly declining and now recently their ratings have fallen off a cliff. Everybody with common sense knows why,because people have been telling them that banger matches mean nothing without good storytelling. You need to get people emotionally invested to do good business. It's the same with Star Wars. It's nice that you spend so much on good effects and set design but without a compelling story you are just wasting money.
Yet the numbers haven't been affected. It's #6 in the top 10 most watched shows currently. So it's not AEW. You only think it is because you don't like the show. Big difference.
@@JohnRochaSays There's no possible way to prove the numbers / fanbase haven't been affected until we get another theatrical release. I think we all know why Lucasfilm is scared to put a theatrical project together
😂😂😂"Listen with your ears" ..
I'm going to use that!
🎯World class point made last week about blade being a 4 quadrant killer vampire movie, that's literally an oxymoron.
Sony has basically become the new version of the DCEU, lots of ideas, lots of movies, probably executives with lots of self interest but no Accountability or responsibility for quality of what is being made.
Myles is their next victim😭💔😭💔😭💔
The only good SW shows we’ve gotten were Mando (not you S3) and Andor. Everything else has been mid
That’s fair. I agree… except I’d say Boba Fett is actually a really bad show.
Personally I find Acolyte to be the top of the pile of mid seasons of SW television. I think it has a chance to get better.
I like these is 2 Batman movies coming out as they look like 2 different takes on the character which I'm excited for.
I think almost no one is going to avoid a Batman film, for any reason. It’s Batman. History is a great teacher, fellas. Look em up. People are tired of crap movies, not this, that, the other thing blah blah. And people won’t tire of Batman as long as he’s consistently great, which he has been for 20 years. Even in BvS, he’s great. C’mon.
ur a poser pattison is garbage lol hes not batman never paid for the first one saw it bootleg lol and it couldnt even outgross bvs or venom box office so get over it lol and ill never pay for the 2nd lol ill pay for batman with batfamily kick rocks
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 FOH, h8erzzz!!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 Nicely said, gents!!!
I am sensitive about eyeballs in general. I skipped by the lobotomy being performed. Great episode.
The best show in this sphere. Love you guys
I think Jeffrey Dean Morgan is far more likely to be in Butcher’s head than Hughie’s mum not being real. I find it hard to believe that Hughie could just make up why his mum left like that and that scene would just be ruined in retrospect. Also, Hughie has told Starlight about his mother being there whereas Butcher has not mentioned JDM to anyone else. Far more is lost in the story if Hughie’s mother is in his head rather than if JDM is in Butcher’s head.
It’s Michael!!!!!! Yeah. Can’t wait. Let me know if you ever come down here.
A surprise to be certain, but a welcome one
I see what you did there. 😁
Meh, Batman and Spider-Man are the two comic book characters that the audiences don’t get tired of.
100% agree
Don't knownwhat audiences you're referring to but Batman is quickly getting old and Spiderman has one last ride with maybe 2 movies and Miles morales could revive it but Sony will.find a way to fuck it up
@@derekjohnson9121 since the Batman came out no other solo Superhero movie has out grossed the Batman. There’s gonna be a dope Batman animated show coming out too. There’s no such thing as “too much Batman”.
And Deadpool, and Wolverine...
Yea some older fans are great watching it over and over. But new fans want different characters we have over 8 Supermen, 7 Batman, 3 Spidermen - people aren't as tired of spiderman yet. But the others are getting worn thin. why you think James Gunn is introducing MIster Terrific, supergirl,metamorpho and more is people want different superheroes
I'm so hyped for season two of "Star Trek: Prodigy." Hopefully, it would be more better than "Star Wars: The Acolyte." Can't wait till Canada Day!
Definitely agree with Vogel. Prodigy is great. Check it out, Rocha!
yes I saw Star Trek prodigy s1 can't wait for S2 on Netflix.
They'll cancel the Batman 2 because some people won't see everything. They going back to seeing 1 or 2 movies a year if that...
It'll be a streaming movie. Read the writing on the wall... Penguin HBO show, Reeves currently developing an Arkham series also for HBO..
Hey geek buddies I thought of a good way to do a blade movie that is canon 2 the. MCU the first 2 movies happened in the. Mcu and the third movie happened, but it was a better movie. With the same result, blade becomes human. Most of the vampires die from the virus and then blade lives as a normal person. And the MCU after the first snap blade has his powers back and it wakes up Lilith and orther monsters and vampires. Lilith finds out that Dracula. Her first son is dead and wants to resurrect him. Then the second snap happens, it starts. Waking up more vampires lead by a Resurrected Decon Frost blade defets him and find out about Lilith, teams up with the other mystical characters at the end. Leading into midnight sun's when they fight lillith in squel
I would like to see an R-Rated Sith film or series based on the Sith before the rule of two. It would simply be named "Sith."
If they don't end up doing The Batman Part II, I think it'll be more about creative issues on the film itself rather than an issue with Gunn's DCU. The bigger issue with the potential of The Batman Part II and The Brave and the Bold cannibalizing each other has to do with tone. If they can offer different enough looks and feels, they have a chance to get people to both films. Plus, it's Batman. If there is one single comic character that will get people to theaters almost no-matter-what -- Spider-Man the only one to possibly contend for that -- it's Batman.
I think Stan Edgar is coming back and it’s going to be revealed that Noir is the contingency plan and Nueman has the toxin from God U.
He needs to come back.
Yeah I need to see what Universal actually delivers. Like minions land and dreamworks land aren’t great and they just opened.
1:10:49 He also, lazered the doors shut so she never leaving
I loved the first three seasons. I wish I could enjoy it as much as you guys! This is my least favorite so far, but there is still a chance it could get better for me! I love everything with Homelander and I'm curious about Sages master plan. it's the other stories I'm not enjoying.
Inside out 2 was amazing and also I watched two other movies recently Ultraman riseing and no time to spy a loud house movie!
What are the numbers for The Acolyte that John refers to?
It was the the #6 streamed show in terms of viewers last week in the top 10.
@@JohnRochaSays Not bad at all..
Mike liked Last Jedi - he's my hero!
Star wars is a precious commodity to alot of people. When you call star wars gay and say it's the "gayest star wars ever", you are going to piss people off.
Why?
It was an interviewer who said it; they laughed about it and tried to play it off. It was awkward, the interviewer put them in an awkward position that clearly made them uncomfortable with how to respond.
So, apparently the showrunner didn't say that. Still mad?
John Campea talked on his AMA video on Thursday how his Open Mic video about ep 4 of The Acolyte got more views than any other video he posted lately and it literally made him want to quit RUclips. I'm not sure if he mentioned it during the show but his video about the Ki-Adi stupid complaints got downvoted heavily by the same idiots who upvoted his Open Mic show.
There's no possible way to prove the people who liked one video disliked another video. There's literally no way to prove that.
Star Trek: Prodigy is coming on July 1, 2024.
WHOO! Oh, what a "Star Trek" Canada Day miracle!
I can crack the Blade problem…… PICK UP A COMIC!!!!! Blade has some awesome stories. Pick the best arc and change it up like Captain America: Civil War. DONE!!!! Smh
Fun fact mr vogel. That tumor episode of the diabolical anthology show is one of the few episodes that are canon to the boys show
STAR WARS iZ just the excuse, it's the world & culture iN which WE live.
"Steak on a stake". Fabulous.
Like hat on a hat! the usual hollywood expression!I love stake by the way!
The toxic positive fan thing. Is that something new that's just started happening? Or has that been the case since the squeals?
Just a random comment, finished watching this movie called deep impact. I know u could just watch Independence Day or something but I just think ppl should remind themselves of how juvenile and meaningless a lot of our differences are as ppl.
That is a great movie!
I’m old enough to remember seeing this movie, but also not remember much about it at all. Morgan Freeman was president, right? It was a big deal for casting and a lot of racists had opinions about it back then!
@@majorlazor5058 if there’s a president in ANY movie I feel like it’s only right Morgan freeman is the guy tho 😄
@@zaywhitt502 I think he’s played president in two films.
The Batman2 is still happening. Gunn has debunked this many times.
its not happening and if u belive gunns lies ur dumber than i think lol
Lucasfilm has never come out & defended their employees to the level you're talking about. One of their top 3 mistakes.
disagree with u respectfully vogel about star wars. imo the acolyte is the worst disney star wars project and is in fact hurting it lol
They gave Butcher literal brain worms!!!
OMG! He is the RFK Jr. of the group. Ha!
Re: An "R" rated SW and Vogel half-joking about GoT on Coruscant. An "R" rated Star Wars doesn't happen without a top-to-bottom reboot which completely reframes the idea of GoT on Coruscant. If you present that idea as hokey and unrealistic and weird, nobody outta really complain about that; you're analysis it totally reasonable.
The current Old Man Lucas version of SW that's owned by Disney can't or won't do R rated SW. We saw rhetoric toward Mario Puzo Mafia SW for Book of Bobba Fett and that didn't work out. We're seeing a "Sith centric/////bad guys are the 'heroes'" promo rhetoric for Acolyte and that's not working either.
As long as the kiddie aspect of SW is dominant, you're not going to get R rated SW. The very best the SW franchise could to currently is to retool and reform so that stories like Andor become about 40% of what SW is with the remaining 60% being the Flash Gordon-y stuff that Lucas was doing and a decent portion of that being super kiddy like the Young Jedi stuff or maybe like Resistance.
40% like Andor but often maybe also with space wizards and lightsabers.
40%!!!
We're not anywhere near that currently.
A Star Wars franchise (after the Old Man passes on) that makes R rated stories ideally flips the 60/40 thing to 40/60.
Gunn came out last week and said The Batman Part II is NOT getting cancelled yet people still beleive it will?? Internet is full of 🤡
It's getting demoted to HBO
Hughie's mom is definitely there. The Starlight Foundation lawyer discusses her POA paperwork is all on the up & up. Plus, she interacts with objects. Which is exactly what Jeffrey Dean's character never does. The drugs are already on the table, etc. He also only talks about things that Butcher knows, cancer, fired, etc.
You don't think that if Hughie has created an alternate timeline that he couldn't have created that POA so he doesn't have to take responsibility for his Dad's medical decisions. Also, she just happens to work for Vought. And she did not have Compound V on the table. That was all holistic medicine.
The boys. I can’t remember the comics well as I read them years ago…. My theory is that Butcher’s cancer got the v effects instead of him so now he’s got a super cancer symbiotic a la venom.
It’s probably super obvious and I’m gonna get a no shit Sherlock here
I just got to the bit where you agree haha😊
I didn't realize Mundi was such a beloved fan favorite, no wonder I can't find any Mundi merch. For The Boys, it was hard not to root for Homelander - go get those pricks!
Wasn't it Mahershala that went to Marvel and asked them to do a new 'Blade'? The impression I got was that Marvel hadn't really considered doing Blade in the MCU until he expressed interest. So, him wielding so much influence on the film makes sense.
No… that didn’t happen 😂😂. Feige announced Blade was in the works way before casting the lead.
@@majorlazor5058 No, Feige first announced they were doing a Blade movie by bringing Mahershala Ali out on stage at the 2019 SDCC. It was right at the end of their presentation.
From Variety's article on losing Demange as director: "Marvel first announced a new 'Blade' movie at San Diego Comic-Con in 2019, after Ali met with Marvel chief Kevin Feige to pitch himself to headline a reboot of the franchise first led by Wesley Snipes in a trilogy spanning from 1998 to 2004. "
@@Playhouse76
Your own post in the quote states Feige met with Ali to pitch him the Blade script. Not the other way around. So how could you possibly think Ali came to Marvel pitching a Blade film?
@@majorlazor5058 We were both sorta right. Marvel didn't announce publicly that they were looking to do a new 'Blade' until the Comic-Con reveal, but it was apparently known about town that they wanted to do it. Ali heard it and set up a meeting with Feige to pitch himself in the role.
From a Variety piece from June 15, 2024: "In the final moments of Marvel Studios chief Kevin Feige’s blockbuster post-“Avengers: Endgame” presentation at San Diego Comic-Con, Feige dimmed the lights of Hall H one final time to debut a title treatment for “Blade,” and then brought out Ali wearing a baseball cap with the same logo. Ali later shared that he pitched himself to Feige for the part after he kept hearing that Marvel was looking to reboot the “Blade” franchise. But at the time Feige announced Ali’s involvement, no director or screenwriter was attached to the project."
@@Playhouse76 Okay.. you are correct Feige didn’t officially announce Blade until 2019, but the Blade film was leaked well before that. The original leak had all the films and TV shows that have been released over the last 5 years.. all listed in the leak have been released except Blade and Avengers: Kang Dynasty.
Star Wars ended in 1983... they're waiting until 2024 to conduct the funeral? lol
The Acolyte IS Pretty Bad. 90% of the writing is terrible. The direction of that terrible writing is bad. Example: Ep4. Osha asks if Bazal is with us. First off he is on the ship so of course "he" is. That aside better phrasing of the sentence, if you want to use the pronouns in the sentence ( Osha: Is he, they, with us ). Better...Osha: Is he with us? Jecki: Yes "They" are.
It is ok to utilize pronouns. Just write better sentences to actually present a inclusion as opposed to one character pushing the directive. Present the fact that civilization has already accepted this and not tell the audience the current Real World problem.
Other issues, too many sentences to list
Look at the new Doctor who... they're doing a disservice to gay people. By making that the focus. People are not watching Star wars for love stories. Yes there ends up being love stories... but that is after you establish the story. Having gay lead characters, females or minorities. Doesn't make it a bad product. But we know already....that when that is the reason the director is chosen. And not because they had a good star wars idea. Or were the right person for the job. Just the entire concept of inclusivity is becoming anti inclusive. And pretty racist even. The idea was now everybody could be included. And no limits. But they're just doing the reverse.
58:52 the argument is not that its not normal its the fact thats in your face and not focusing on the story
In your face?? lololol Like being straight isn't in your face when Han and Leia were playing their flirty games. And what is exactly "in your face" here. The two women never kiss, never embrace, never even speak a loving word to each other. So what is in your face exactly???
@@JohnRochaSays how was han and Leia in your face and the two women even if they kiss but don't make it pandering and focus on the story no one would have a problem but the problem is even with the interview you mentioned where they said the "gayest star wars" like thats what we mean when we say in your face
@@angeloreyes4425 NOE GAY COUPLE KISS, FLIRT, MAKE OUT, HAVE SEX OR EVEN ALLUDE TO A ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIP IN THAT EPISODE. Meanwhile, Han and Leia are hot for each other all over that OT with screwball flirtations and Han even cornering Leia against a wall to signal his physical interest in her. NOW THAT IS IN YOUR FACE. The problem is that your straight so you see it as normal. But to the LGBTQ+ person that is not normal and can be interpreted as heterosexual lifestyle being thrown in THEIR face. It aint that hard to grasp this.
@@JohnRochaSays why does it matter if I'm straight or not it's a fucking scene in a movie you don't know anything about me and my point is that your focusing on what straight or gay people look as normal but who cares its a movie for everybody that its not pandering once you pander to people they walk away and the "some of the toxic fans" that you reference that are racist and homophobic is less than 1% and eveyone else actually criticizes the show
I don't think Hughie's mom is imaginary. Don't forget he did meet with a lawyer who looked over the DNR/POA given to his mom. So that at least being real makes it likely is mom is also
Wait...you're saying someone who is deluded and believes these things are real couldn't come up with a legal form to continue the self deception?? You can't be serious.
@@JohnRochaSays No, I'm saying I'm not gonna jump to "Hughie is secretly creating legal documents just to maintain his delusion". Occam's Razor says no.
@@MrNathansdad Occam's Razor? LOL
@@JohnRochaSays Yes. The simplest answer is the most likely.
I see myself as a pretty neutral, relaxed fan…but everyone has a limit.
Mine was when the lead actress from the show comes out making a song against the fans ?
And someone who comes from a pretty well off family trying to sound she’s had it rough.
Yur that’s where lm out.
I hope the next Star Wars show does better.
She came out against the RACIST, SEXIST AND HOMOPHOBIC fans. Not the fans in general. I get your mock rage, but at least use a reason based in accurate reality. Not one you made up.
@@JohnRochaSays
Mock rage?
Do l sound like lm raging…more disappointed.
And who are you to tell anyone how they feel?
I can guarantee lm older than you, and served before you.
Don’t you dare tell me what l feel.
@@JohnRochaSays most of us are just tired of the fake virtue signaling coming from a rich white actress
Star Wars fandom is the worst fandom in the history of fandom. Where have you been Rocha? Star Wars fandom has been ugly, toxic crap for decades.
Go look at anime fandoms lol
a pronoun joke seems to break the fantasy of Star Wars. Seems like inserting current cultural talking points from our world into a galaxy far, far away.
so it's not bigoted or toxic to point that out, and the so-called "toxic side" has been pointing out other flaws as well.
I love Andor which for me is the best Star Wars since the original trilogy. I also love The Force Awakens, and rewatch it all the time.
But The Acolyte to me is just doubling down on what prior projects like The Last Jedi started. Taking things fans love, like the Force and the Jedi, and turning them into something unrecognizable.
How can you say then when the show isn't over yet and we still don't know what's the truth and what's a perception? There are still 4 more episodes to go.
The acolyte being bad has absolutely nothing to do with gay characters. A bad story is a bas story.
That’s fair. Now tell that to the toxic people with large followings making videos crying about the “gay agenda” of Star Wars now.
@@JohnRochaSaysYou'll never have a large following. You're a failed actor.😂
If you're giving death threats for putting pronouns in Star Wars you need help.
Yes, more people are watching, but more people are also not liking it. I think that might possibly be a reason the audience score has dropped.
Nah. It dropped because it got review bombed. Just like a lot of those idiots who review bombed those movies with Acolyte in the title. It's a pretty toxic thing that is happening there.
It’s horse shit lol and it’s blown out of proportion to a degree BUT I think fans are just tired of it. (Bad content) I do at least appreciate hearing from those who are liking it more than I am.
Shannon- It’s incredibly arrogant, and authoritative to tell ppl how to view cinema- streaming content. C’mon , you’re doing too much
Authoritative? On his own show? How does that work?😂😂
Well, I’ve been told I can be incredibly arrogant and authoritative, so I suppose that tracks. Sidenote, I’m not actually sure what you are specifically referencing. May I have some context?
SchittsHingigulz, it's incredibly arrogant and authoritative to tell people how to explain their opinions on THEIR OWN CHANNEL. C'mon, you're doing too much
Why are people using online chatter as authentic human sentiment, knowing the internet is filled with bots and now bots powered by A.I???
Nerdrotic and Chris Gore clearly exist though
We aint talking about bots. Some of these people are people I know in real life.
@@JohnRochaSays Right...because real people can't be manipulated by bots on social media, huh?
@@Randy_Richmond Not smart ones.
@@JohnRochaSays Unfortunately, there are a lot of dumb ones who are easily manipulated.
But The Batman wasn't good...
Each to their own. I absolutely loved it and many others did too. I'm a lifelong Batman fan, and this felt like it was ripped straight from the late 90s early 2000s run of Legends of the Dark Knight. However I know that you are not alone and it didn't land with some others.
To you.
Yeah, It was great! 😋
OH THE ACOLYTE IS GOOD BUT I'M SEEING THE SAME ISSUES YOU ARE WEEK TO WEEK NOW. @JohnRocha
A lot of those fools who are hating on star wars are not fans stop calling them fans
I don’t know if that’s fair to say. SW has a lot of trash people who also happen to long time fans. SW also has legit fans who just don’t like recent SW television.
@@majorlazor5058 awesome I don't like acolyte much but those fools are hating.. I find it fascinating that these so called fans hated the prequels which lead to George Lucas selling it then the sequels came out which they hate but now love the prequels??? It's pathetic.. nothing will come close to the original trilogy so just enjoy the ride good or bad & if they hate it so much stop watching
@@princehendrix4099 I don’t think the loud fans who hate the prequels are claiming to love the the prequels now.. well maybe those fake fans like Geeks and Gamers are for sudden prequel fans for financial reasons.
Most people I’m seeing trash Acolyte are young people who are fans of the prequels.
People my age who hate the prequels seem more level headed and acknowledge Acolyte isn’t great, but it’s at least on par with the prequels.
Well said there are legitimate fans who dislike acolyte I'm 1 of them.. but unfortunately there are quite a few haters out there who have no life & get there kicks from stirring up trouble their not star wars fans
