This reveals more about Osha than I think The Acolyte’s writers were intending; the exchange implies she is actively othering Bazil and assuming he (yes, it is later revealed Bazil uses he/him pronouns, which makes all of this even sillier) must be gender-variant because he looks odd to her. I get that the effort is to remind the viewer that not everyone subscribes to a binary of gender expression, and Osha is trying to be open-minded about that. To be clear, I’m not asking for every character to ask every other character about their pronouns when they first meet. That would be extremely boring television! It’s very easy to establish characters’ pronouns by having other characters use those pronouns when speaking about them. This happens all the time. (“This is Bazil, they’ll be helping us on the ground” is the easiest thing in the world to put into a conversation, in a world where Bazil uses they/them pronouns.)

And your lead actress is a waif who really cannot act. I mean we were all critical of the Rey movies, but the actress had presence. And looked like she could perform some of her own stunts.
It’s crazy the hate seems like it’s from people who don’t watch the show… Sure she was killed of but she’s been in half the episodes so far… 🤷 the “woke” hate needs to be stopped.
Wookiepedia scrambled to change Ki-Adi-Mundi’s birthdate to the *EXACT SAME DATE* the events in _The Acolyte_ took place. Meaning Mundi is 0 years old at the time of his cameo.
It’s also not difficult to correlate things and ideas with this. It’s stupid but, basically if someone hates Donald Trump, they are stupid, like these people are. Isn’t that strange? Donald Trump is LITERALLY the common denominator with everything now. It’s just a fact. It’s crazy, but it’s true.
The answer to the question of where is the money is easy. An untalented chef can turn an expensive set of ingredients into an inedible mess, while a great one can make a feast out of scraps. They don't know what they are doing and burned most of the budget.
I think they said they hired consultants for the musical number. I think a lot of the time 'good enough' should be a standard. It was something I thought during the sequel trilogy. They had swirling drone shots and spectacular shots of space THAT SAID NOTHING. If you're super focused on the narrative, then you aren't going to spend money on stuff that gets left on the cutting room floor, or stuff that's superfluous (like if a medieval show spent 100000 on historically accurate codpieces). To my thinking, an expensive shot that says nothing is worse than a cheaper looking shot that just does enough to propel things forward without crashing suspension of disbelief.
One clue to the budget: the composer flew a group of women from around the world to a studio to vocalize on the "ascension ceremony" so that it would be culturally-diverse. Shows are being produced the same way I see academic research being done: with as much frivolous expense as can be gotten away with for the sake of being able to claim enormous amounts of money are being procured and handled by those involved for the sake of elevating their pedigree.
Jesus. Meanwhile, someone like the Bulgarian Jagged Alliance 3 composer make do using two separate local studio recordings (vocals from South Africa, instruments from Czech Republic), and created one of my most favorite music of recent; Magcina. Big western studios, from movies to series to videogames, are so friggin' wasteful with production and spending.
Its the exact same thing that happened in the late 70s and early 80s. Giant productions with huge budget that got lower and lower returns. Enter guys like Lucus, Spielberg, Zamekis, Stallone. Who started making movies that were giant hits on shoe string budgets.

@@blueskiestrevor5200 You're acting no different than the people that are churning out garbage like the acolyte and attempting to silence any disagreement.
Chato calls the Sith Master "zippermouth". A fitting use of an S&M mask to portray how the producers go about the storytelling: a very sadomasochistic affair, truly.
I have said it before and will say it again here. The reviews and other podcasts talking about this garbage show is vastly more entertaining to me than watching the actual show. Which is something I will never do. I'm not giving my money to a company that hates me.
Most of us stopped somewhere between the middle of the first episode and 10 minutes into the second. So, yes, they are saving us the need to watch the rubbish.
I respect this. Rather than focusing on lore inconsistencies (which, to be fair, fans of course would), criticizing the show's writing in general makes it much more glaringly obvious how little thought was put into it.
Oh that's so easy to do. Remember the episode where Osha crashes in the ship? Two escape pods randomly jettison away. Containing a wild bunch of space convicts. The Jedi have time to intercept all of those characters successfully despite all of the random variables involved, discuss the situation, interrogate a prisoner and travel to the planet where Osha crashed on. All while Osha has just finished her scenes crashing on the planet. The timeline of events felt so unrealistic around that.
Since pre-2012 Star Wars fans complained there was no Darth Vader at Galaxy Edge, Disney is going to have Smilo Ren as their substitute for Darth Vader. 🙄
The irony is Kylo was a crap Darth Vader Wannabee....Now they have a Kylo Wannabee as well! They cant even come up with a villain as interesting in looks or back story or character than Vader. They have been trying for 47 years....almost half a century and have not even come close.....they are going backwards....

I like what RMB said about the low quality sets. When I was watching e4, it made me think of the 1970s Land of the Lost! But of course that show had better writing.
1:01 - I had the same problem on my novel. When I noticed, I made the younger character telling the history to the older one. So, to fix, I made the older scold the younger and actually correcting him by one point or two. I saved the writing :) 6:30 - But I loved the theory of "call me chato", Smilo Ren is actually Trinity, who faked her death with a knive.
Dear Disney, FOR THE LOVE OF DISNEY, please STOP releasing more episodes of The Acolyte creating more damage to the Star Wars brand and to your own company. STOP the insanity, halt all streaming of The Acolyte, press the "DELETE" button on this entire series and FIRE Kathleenn Kennedy/Leslye Headland/Amandla Stenberg!!!
That my dear fellow is what the entire fanbase has been saying since Last Jedi. And it still has not happened. And Solo and Indy 5 flopped like Jabba the Hutt going of a high diving board. Kathleen is still there. She will still be there after Acolyte has lesbianated the Force to death. And at some point in the future when she does "retire" on a pension that will be more than the budget of a small country, they will appoint someone else as equally woke and or clueless. Just give up. I did. I even ignored the Acolyte youtube videos, for the first couple of episodes. I came to see what the fuss was about episode 3 and 4 and I was not shocked, surprised or remotely bothered about what is going on....its just Disney Star Wars, its never going to get better and its never going to be saved or turned around sadly....
I love how they were so worried about 3 hours of daylight, and then it shows them walking at high noon by the looks of the shadows. Then it goes from dusk to complete darkness in seconds. What the hell kind of sun is this planet orbiting???
The thing that stood out to me the most was when the jedi team was at the trading post. They point down into the forest, "he is down there", then cross a grassy mountain to get to there
At least with the latest episode, we finally figured out how Disney Star Wars lightsabers work. If you’re stabbed by one, it doesn’t matter where you can survive it. But if you’re slashed by one, it’s Insta death.
And Police Squad was parody. Well, deliberately a parody anyway. I can't imagine why Police Squad only went six episodes. And three movies. That was funny stuff.
I was amused at the Jedi Gerbil being able to follow a year-old scent trail when in our own universe scent trails last about 72 hours, max, which is why bloodhounds have to be brought into a search very early on.
The best way to deal with this nonsense is to ignore it completely but its hard to do that when people love seeing other people shit on it which helps it gain notoriety in some way
A deeper dive into the Rotten Tomatoes critic score reveals some things. The 85% score for all critics is heavily skewed by a few things. For one, the top critics score is lower than the score from all critics. I don't personally trust the lower critics'... objectiveness. And a lot of them are saying the same thing: "Edgy, bold, new, refreshing..." But within the top critics, the initial score is lower at 72%. That's 21/29 as "fresh". But here's the catch: there is no middle ground for the Tomatometer. It's all or nothing. You can give something 3/5 stars, and it will still count towards the positive side of that 72%. A deeper dive of the top critics showed that several gave it a "meh". Being conservative and giving the Disney side the edge, I still count 6 more of the top critics that count towards "fresh" basically saying, "meh". That drops the actual critic score to 51%. Now that sounds a little closer to the truth.
Well since they give away every plot twist 5 mins after they set it up. I bet with the Crayon level of everything in this show the gotcha moment they have planned is going to be the good twin is actually the evil one and vice versa, and they'll be like " see the Jedi are bad cause they didn't find out we tricked them." Even though Jedi have always been able to sense the emotions of others. But we all know they(aka Disney Lucas) do not know or care about anything before their simple little lives started.
Daily reminder that Leslye Headland got where she is by knowingly allowing evil to happen, helping it happen, then throwing the person she was helping under the bus for self gain. She knew everything that happened was happening and stood by and let it happen.
Drinker and Ryan in the house . You guys are awesome. Star Wars fans deserve to have good content. Your input is important. Thank you for service gents . Thank you for shedding light on the sheer hypocrisy. You guys are awesome.
I just now realized what Nerdrotic, and Critical Drinker, and channels like this are in the current moment... Pop culture itself is now so hideously stagnant, and incestuous, and ideologically tactless... that in order to make ANY of it palatable on ANY level for ANYONE? (Other than the Scissorhood of the Traveling Rants...) We have essentially been forced to MST3K the entirety of all new content as it's released. Just to maintain some semblance of collective sanity. And realizing that... feels good. Honestly. It's a nice little reminder that we're all at least *trying* to build concensus amongst ourselves while the Scissorhood grifts to an empty room.
That's how I consume most of my media nowadays. From Charlie Hopkins, Ryan George, or HISHE videos. All of which just poke fun at all the plot holes and terrible decisions and writing that characterizes modern media.
If you would have told 1983 9 year old me that the Jedi would eventually be kidnapping bad guys. I would have never wasted almost 40 years of my fandom on star wars.

I feel a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of fans suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced....
ACCURATE
...not silenced ... made my first account on Rotten & IMDB and left my rating!
It costs $180m because they had to hire 200 DEI managers

I hate that game.
I'm so glad Andor was mentioned. I feel like people keep forgetting about how good it was, and we need to continue to use it to compare all other Star Wars to
Andor was also not Star Wars. Maybe it was "good", but it wasnt Star Wars.
@@BenSlashes I really hate people who say this. Just because it didn't have lightsabers or jedi or other flashy stuff YOU like doesn't mean it's not Star Wars. Pretentious fans like you are the reason Lucasfilm is scared to try anything that's different and good. Maybe don't gate keep the Star Wars name so much and be open to different types of media from that VAST universe of content and lore.
@@blueskiestrevor5200 You're acting no different than the people that are churning out garbage like the acolyte and attempting to silence any disagreement.
Andor was good. Rogue One was great... but it actively seems like they're trying to destroy star wars lol. Bold strategy 😂
@@blueskiestrevor5200 it also didnt had any aliens lol.
It was a good story, which had nothing to do with star wars.
Chato calls the Sith Master "zippermouth". A fitting use of an S&M mask to portray how the producers go about the storytelling: a very sadomasochistic affair, truly.
To be honest I was thinking of Zippy from the tv show Rainbow being a Sith Lord which sounds funny yet somewhat creepy.

Ngl, "The Disaster Continues" would make a good tagline for Acolyte Season 2.
'Ideological authoritarianism not critical acclaim & profit' would be good too
I have said it before and will say it again here. The reviews and other podcasts talking about this garbage show is vastly more entertaining to me than watching the actual show. Which is something I will never do. I'm not giving my money to a company that hates me.
Didn’t even have any interest in watching this show, only watching Drinker.
Not interested in drawing your own opinion?
It’s not even worth the resources to pirate
This has been true about most bad media since the dawn of internet reviews lol
@@umbraemilitosit is easier to find articulate people who share your opinion. One may know something is wrong but not the words to describe it
Everyone forgets the positives of the Acolyte. That being that if you like it, I know I can't trust you as a person.
Thank you for taking the hit by watching this thing for us.
Most of us stopped somewhere between the middle of the first episode and 10 minutes into the second. So, yes, they are saving us the need to watch the rubbish.
Then there are us that stop watching Star Wars before Lucas sold it.
I just watch these reviews. So much better. I canceled disney plus lol
I respect this. Rather than focusing on lore inconsistencies (which, to be fair, fans of course would), criticizing the show's writing in general makes it much more glaringly obvious how little thought was put into it.
Oh that's so easy to do. Remember the episode where Osha crashes in the ship?
Two escape pods randomly jettison away. Containing a wild bunch of space convicts. The Jedi have time to intercept all of those characters successfully despite all of the random variables involved, discuss the situation, interrogate a prisoner and travel to the planet where Osha crashed on. All while Osha has just finished her scenes crashing on the planet. The timeline of events felt so unrealistic around that.
@@FalconOnFilm The writers have no sense of time and space, which is a big problem in just about every kind of production.
Since pre-2012 Star Wars fans complained there was no Darth Vader at Galaxy Edge, Disney is going to have Smilo Ren as their substitute for Darth Vader. 🙄
@@user-yv7dt5je1l 2012 was meh but 2020 was when the world went downhill, IMO
@@chasehedges6775 2020 is when we forgot how to fake it
The irony is Kylo was a crap Darth Vader Wannabee....Now they have a Kylo Wannabee as well! They cant even come up with a villain as interesting in looks or back story or character than Vader. They have been trying for 47 years....almost half a century and have not even come close.....they are going backwards....

Zipper mouth is Trinity. That will be the big reveal.
I haven’t watched any Star Wars shows but these review videos are funny as hell 😂 🍿 😋
When RMB is talking, everyone is silent. No interruptions. Respect.
I like what RMB said about the low quality sets. When I was watching e4, it made me think of the 1970s Land of the Lost! But of course that show had better writing.
Love hearing Robert speak. Nothing but facts always
Mae would not kill her sister - it would just be a small Osha violation.
Never underestimate the power of a good walk in the woods
I just hope the Jedi don't have a similar alignment switch.
1:01 - I had the same problem on my novel. When I noticed, I made the younger character telling the history to the older one. So, to fix, I made the older scold the younger and actually correcting him by one point or two. I saved the writing :)
6:30 - But I loved the theory of "call me chato", Smilo Ren is actually Trinity, who faked her death with a knive.
I found this channel due to the Acolyte videos. Now a big fan!
MrBrownsAlliance has such a high head that he can play Master Ki-Adi-Mundi without makeup.

LMAO REAPER: _"thx alot I was trying to forget that"_ HAHAHHAHA :D
In 1960s, when they attempted the same scheme, they had actors sang Springtime for Hitler in Broadway.

*Congratulations on 100, mate!* 🎉
Dear Disney, FOR THE LOVE OF DISNEY, please STOP releasing more episodes of The Acolyte creating more damage to the Star Wars brand and to your own company. STOP the insanity, halt all streaming of The Acolyte, press the "DELETE" button on this entire series and FIRE Kathleenn Kennedy/Leslye Headland/Amandla Stenberg!!!
That my dear fellow is what the entire fanbase has been saying since Last Jedi. And it still has not happened. And Solo and Indy 5 flopped like Jabba the Hutt going of a high diving board. Kathleen is still there. She will still be there after Acolyte has lesbianated the Force to death. And at some point in the future when she does "retire" on a pension that will be more than the budget of a small country, they will appoint someone else as equally woke and or clueless. Just give up. I did. I even ignored the Acolyte youtube videos, for the first couple of episodes. I came to see what the fuss was about episode 3 and 4 and I was not shocked, surprised or remotely bothered about what is going on....its just Disney Star Wars, its never going to get better and its never going to be saved or turned around sadly....
Ideology trumps everything
Cute black kitty cat spotted!😍😍😍
I love how they were so worried about 3 hours of daylight, and then it shows them walking at high noon by the looks of the shadows. Then it goes from dusk to complete darkness in seconds. What the hell kind of sun is this planet orbiting???
The thing that stood out to me the most was when the jedi team was at the trading post. They point down into the forest, "he is down there", then cross a grassy mountain to get to there
I am genuine impressed by how many RUclipsrs have been so consistently able to monetize the failure of Star Wars
Same here. And these delicate easily-triggered RUclipsrs are probably the same people who love to accuse their opponents of being "snowflakes"!
Easy way to stop this would be if Disney created great content. Not likely.
@@chrishewitt5826 You can't just keep hitting yourself without _someone_ going "Stop hitting yourself"
Brilliant chat. Ryan and Reaper and Mauler and Darkhour..and everyone else..comedy gold. Well done Drinker!
Kudos to KK, Filoni and Wenstein's assistant, they managed to cram into 4 episodes all the cringe of the world
fire in space 80mil & Ki-Adi-Mundi 100mil done...😂
You had me at "The Disaster Continues" ROTFL
At least with the latest episode, we finally figured out how Disney Star Wars lightsabers work.
If you’re stabbed by one, it doesn’t matter where you can survive it. But if you’re slashed by one, it’s Insta death.
I love how Smilo Ren caught on
It's like space balls with a mix of police squad
Space Balls is a got damn masterpiece compared to this pile of flaming dog crap!
And Police Squad was parody. Well, deliberately a parody anyway.
I can't imagine why Police Squad only went six episodes. And three movies. That was funny stuff.
Space Balls had way more respect for the source material
I see more of the Friday night. Tights? Look here… It’s great to see the exchange of ideas between you guys.
Perhaps Mae/Osha are just dealing with the discourse. 😂
I was amused at the Jedi Gerbil being able to follow a year-old scent trail when in our own universe scent trails last about 72 hours, max, which is why bloodhounds have to be brought into a search very early on.
There's no way the stupid sheltered children who write this garbage can know things like that, because they have no life experiences.
Let's set the tone, boys. Gotta set the fucking tone! 🤘
Your definitely better off just watching Shoresy than this dumpster fire that is the acolyte…season 3 of Shoresy is really really good so far

@FartsForEyes bro, I never heard of it until now. Just binged a few eps. Absolute gold! Cheers for the recommendation
The Acolyte plot reminds me of the knot of Christmas lights stashed in the corner of my garage...
That is a beyond accurate comparison
Or a shoelace
The best way to deal with this nonsense is to ignore it completely but its hard to do that when people love seeing other people shit on it which helps it gain notoriety in some way
Disparu in the house! All my favorite reviewers are here!
A deeper dive into the Rotten Tomatoes critic score reveals some things. The 85% score for all critics is heavily skewed by a few things. For one, the top critics score is lower than the score from all critics. I don't personally trust the lower critics'... objectiveness. And a lot of them are saying the same thing: "Edgy, bold, new, refreshing..."
But within the top critics, the initial score is lower at 72%. That's 21/29 as "fresh". But here's the catch: there is no middle ground for the Tomatometer. It's all or nothing. You can give something 3/5 stars, and it will still count towards the positive side of that 72%. A deeper dive of the top critics showed that several gave it a "meh". Being conservative and giving the Disney side the edge, I still count 6 more of the top critics that count towards "fresh" basically saying, "meh".
That drops the actual critic score to 51%. Now that sounds a little closer to the truth.
I enjoyed the 100th episode hosted by the Drinker. So many knowledge people and I thought.... The Power of Many. 🤪
Well since they give away every plot twist 5 mins after they set it up. I bet with the Crayon level of everything in this show the gotcha moment they have planned is going to be the good twin is actually the evil one and vice versa, and they'll be like " see the Jedi are bad cause they didn't find out we tricked them." Even though Jedi have always been able to sense the emotions of others. But we all know they(aka Disney Lucas) do not know or care about anything before their simple little lives started.
Daily reminder that Leslye Headland got where she is by knowingly allowing evil to happen, helping it happen, then throwing the person she was helping under the bus for self gain. She knew everything that happened was happening and stood by and let it happen.

I just now realized what Nerdrotic, and Critical Drinker, and channels like this are in the current moment...
Pop culture itself is now so hideously stagnant, and incestuous, and ideologically tactless... that in order to make ANY of it palatable on ANY level for ANYONE?
(Other than the Scissorhood of the Traveling Rants...)
We have essentially been forced to MST3K the entirety of all new content as it's released. Just to maintain some semblance of collective sanity.
And realizing that... feels good. Honestly. It's a nice little reminder that we're all at least *trying* to build concensus amongst ourselves while the Scissorhood grifts to an empty room.
You've got your finger on the pulse mate.
That's how I consume most of my media nowadays. From Charlie Hopkins, Ryan George, or HISHE videos. All of which just poke fun at all the plot holes and terrible decisions and writing that characterizes modern media.
Only good thing about the Acolyte is forcing me to rewatch the first 2 trilogies to cleanse my pallet
The Power of Many...Great Movie Critics 😜
If you would have told 1983 9 year old me that the Jedi would eventually be kidnapping bad guys. I would have never wasted almost 40 years of my fandom on star wars.
Errrghh.... I just realised the bald green lady is going to show up with her purple whip saber and defeat smile-o ren in true girl boss fashion..... F this show.
