The Acolyte is Star Wars if you made an official parody. Leslye Headland is a showrunner who made a show about identical twins but refused to actually use them as actresses, because identical twins look too similar to each other. When your only counterpoint to this is that Amandla Stenberg can do it because she is a genius, You lose a lot of credibility. One expression across two characters is wild, but not as bad mysteries arent as important as how a character looks, jedi should actually balance themselves with evil and Manny Jacinto had nothing to work with, so she lucked out that he was actually good. But what do you think of what you saw? Let me know your thoughts down below and as always, thanks for watching :)
Attempting the Deconstructing an pillar of the ip requires a respect and talent a written by committee can never achieve. Especially when you admit you ruined your storyline for female masterbation fodder.
Star Wars is a total stranger wearing your deceased friend's clothes, they don't act or behave anything like your friend, and they don't flush after using the toilet.
“Who cares about a birthday” If you have any modicum of care for the world building, you would care! It’s literally the most basic thing ever! A character can’t be somewhere when he isn’t even born yet!
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). In other words, we probably got non-identical twins because *_Brick Face was thirsty for Amandla Stenberg specifically._*
The fact that Leslye Headland admits she didn't understand what Vader being "seduced by the Dark Side" means says it all. She thought this entire time that Vader was SEXUALLY seduced.
Giving us example no. 1,789,362 that these "progressive" types base every single facet of their lives around sex (and the more degenerate it is, the better) and can't even begin to understand how nobody else does or why we are disgusted by them. The fact that Lesbian Headlamp has all but admitted to fantasizing about an incestuous relationship with her sister (who has disowned her) was example no. 1,789,344.
It's clear that everything about Headland is tied to sex and her sexual identity. Even when you look at the few other shows she supposedly wrote, they are literally about partying and sex addicts. She has zero talent, skill or even depth of thought.
The series is built on mysteries. Like, how did these writers get hired. How much acid were they one while writing the script. How much worse can each episode get.
Andy Serkis: "I did all my scenes outside with Elijah and Sean and then everything again in a mocap studio." Vigo Mortensen: "I wore my sword everywhere I went so it would feel more natural while filiming." Leslye: "I couldn't tell the identical twons apart."
Did I hear her correctly that she forgot about the tattoo that Mae had on her forehead that Osha didn't have? If so, that is a shocking level of incompetence.
Although I disagree with disparu and a lot of this comment section and even this comment as I don't know her motivations - it would have been great to see a wookie wielding a lightsaber - I would totally watch a show with a Jedi wookie as the main character... Sigh.
How did Screen Rant come up with the idea that Anakin's turn to the Dark Side happened "too quickly" when it was heavily focused on throughout the _entire prequel trilogy!?_
I’ll never forget when I was a kid and saw Empire for the first time, the scene where Yoda pulls Luke’s X-Wing from the swamp was so thrilling and revealing, with John William’s score truly making it something magical. The force was not a cheap, malleable plot device but rather a mysterious character of its own, and at that point we began to see the true power of wielding it. There’s absolutely nothing memorable or mysterious like that in the latest offerings from Disney, they feel like superficial, poorly conceived, amateur entertainment. These modern creators, whether intentional or not, take the qualities that made Star Wars what it was to begin with and throw them in the garbage, presenting us their own interpretations that are unrecognizable but worse yet lack any substance to be in league with their original predecessors or stand up on their own. I don’t give a shit what diverse people are in a project, just make the forefront the quality and storytelling of the project itself and make it worthy if you’re going to attach such an iconic name to it.
It's WORSE than that! Star Wars has always BEEN diverse, and better than the current 'writers' could ever conceive! Hell, I still think the hero of the original trilogy was R2D2!
I visited Skywalker ranch and you know the saddest thing? It has a library that houses pretty much every book George Lucas felt would help and encourage every film maker to make encompassing and emotional films. Not one of them, I fear, has taken advantage of, yet even spent time within the splendour of that piece of beautiful architecture.
in 1987, when Ted Turner the billionaire colorized classic b/w movies made by MGM, the studio he had just acquired. Hollywood went up in arms, many actors and producers, including George Lucus ran a campaign in Congress to have Ted, the copy right owners stoped. They said Turner had no moral right to alter their arts. When major football clubs decided to create Super European League, their fans rose up and calling for the owners to leave the clubs. They said the clubs belong to the fans since they pay for them. the clubs owners are mere custodians. Ultimately, the clubs backed off. If the curators of the Louvre Museum decided he could improve on Mona Lisa’s smile, Could he do it? Curators of the art has no right to alter the art. They can make profit from them, but not to alter them. Star Wars’ Universe, including characters and their stories is Art. If the woke Star Wars films were good, why didn’t they create their own art, their own Universes? They can even call it Star Wars adaptation. Why mess with someone else’s art? Fans of Star Wars should get organized and call for it’s protection against art vandalism. Disney’s share holders should be their main target.

I read that as "a perfect slow runner". "Run Forest, Run", they both "run" slower than most people, but Forest had a decent head on his shoulders and thought things through. For Headspace it's, ideology is, as ideology does. Life's like a box of scripts, you never know what you'll get.
@@Ghostalking it always goes through my mind every time I see a replay of her cringe entrance when they announced the show: she probably only too happily led his victims right into his hotel suite, drooling.
@@danimei3624 I'm trying to get my head around the concept of her using Plank Stendler as both roles but not using actual twins for the child roles. How can one person screw up something this simple and do it while shouting her mistake to the world?
We've reached the point where i'm almost 100% convinced all this is done on purpose cause i refuse to believe that, after increasingly more and more backlash and BILLIONS of dollars lost, that they just keep committing and doing it worse and worse.
@@AzureRoxe You underestimate how cliquey and stupid women in power are. They are losing millions because some catty old hags have tea parties together and just want to give their friends hand outs. It is quite literally an abuse of power. They don't care about customers, or an audience, or anything, only themselves.
"It's just a birthday." Oh, OK. So when can we expect to see Luke show up? I mean it doesn't matter that he won't be born for over a century, it's just a birthday.
That mentality pisses me off. The small details are the most important. If something is only important for the plot then it’s nothing but a plot device. The small irrelevant details are what makes worlds feel alive. Is it important to know that Rebel capital ships were refitted Mon Calamari star cruisers? Not really but that sentence adds so much more depth. It shows how desperate the Rebels are by essentially strapping cannons to cruise liners and cargo ships.
@@Masyokan It also shows the importance of the Mon Calamari to the Rebel Alliance and therefore adds to Admiral Ackbar. Even when I was a kid I understood that the ship was made by his people, so it made sense that he'd be in command.
the best part about this interview is the product placing in the back, I WILL NOT belive ONE SECOND that Lesbie Headlamp has any of that in her room, on low cost Ikea shelves
They are glorifying the Bad Boy, the kind who does what he wants with his power even if that means killing people... and how that's "hot"... this show is fucked up
To sum up the entire problem with these wackos is the fact she was weirded out and didnt understand that Vader was "seduced" by the dark side. I was a very young child when I first watched star wars. Ive never been the least bit confused by that word. I mean, its literally called context and its one of the basic fundamentals of written language. "Vader was seduced by the dark side" is different than "OSHA was seduced by the naked body of a sith". seduced means the same thing in both examples, but the kind of "seduction" we are talking about is slightly different. Words arent just fluid and mean whatever you want them to. Hence why we have "thats what she said jokes".
I’m still trying to wrap my mind around the fact that she doesn’t understand how Vader was seduced by the dark side. It wasn’t getting his rocks off every time he did something evil. Palpatine wasn’t…. Servicing him every time he did something evil. I’m struggling to believe that’s what she thought it meant. Instead of, y’know, Vader enjoyed the emotional feeling of power and strength, which are the principles of how the dark side of the Force works. The more he enjoyed the dark side, the more power he could tap into. I can’t believe she doesn’t understand this.
Vader was seduced by the Dark Side of human emotions. We ALL have a Dark Side, and as Yoda and Obi Wan say in The Empire Strikes Back, "once you turn to the Dark Side, forever will it dominate your destiny", "Yes, a Jedi's strength flows from the Force. But beware of the dark side. Anger, fear, aggression; the dark side of the Force are they. Easily they flow, quick to join you in a fight". And Obi Wan says, "Luke, don't give in to hate".
Her lack of self-awareness that the things she's saying are ... astonishing. Like she's proud that she doesn't give her actors anything to work with?? Also, not knowing what seduced by evil means as a kid is fine, but beinf weirded out by it as an adult? Making Osha's moral structure crumble because of an emotional aspect would make sense if ...well, it was exactly the opposite of what we got. If her moral code breaks because she is absolutely torn for revenge against Smilo Ren instead of wanting to get into his pants. Lesley isn't aware of how transparent her lack of moral compass is to anyone actually listening to what she says and taking her at her words. Despite what her worldview thinks, having everything reduced to sexual impulse is not deep, compelling, or edgy. It's juvenile and depressingly shallow.
I'm not sure if you're aware of what her former job was, but she was Harvey Weinstein's personal assistant that was in 'resource acquisition' so to speak. Her life for a long time was feeding young girls to her boss and watching them fold for clout and fame and she thinks that was all normal. Since the tide has turned she publicly somehow denies any knowledge of what was happening and thinks it was bad™, but you can see how her morality and brain actually works in series like this to see why she was totally fine with it all that time. She probably got in on the action since she swings that way.
Wasn’t osha just flirting with jecki?! Witnessed this guy brutally murder her crush and lame friend jord… How is a moment of lust even remotely a thing?! It’s shockingly bad and shows how morally void Disney is
This interview was so illuminating. The utter incompetence, the incoherency, all of it makes so much sense. Tell me, is there anything more that describes how worthless Hollywood is than two NOT IDENTICAL SISTERS taking the spot of IDENTICAL TWINS in a show, because the show runner is too blind and stupid to differentiate them. It's like if they were auditioning people for the role of The Mountain in GOT and picked Destiny, the streamer to play the role.
"A genius like Amandala" "The whole theme doesn't work if her performance isn't as great as it is" I could personally play the same character better without question. I am a short, fat, white guy, and i have 0 acting classes. I guarantee you i could portray black female lesbian twins better than Amandala. This is like saying someone is a math genius who can only add 2+2=4. Literally can't do any other math or add other numbers. You ask for 5×5 and you hear 2+2=4. Any person in this industry that says she is a genius and this performance is even adequate should be fired. One facial expression. Watching a hot naked guy, hearing I'm about to tell you something really important, and even accusing the guy who murdered your friends that he murdered your friends all get the same face. Genius!!
What psychologists have discovered is that trauma (as in sexual, physical, or emotional abuse) when it is inflicted on children or adolescence, stunts the young person's growth trapping part of them at the age of the trauma, hence it would follow that as their body matures there remains that part of their psyche (psychology) that still views the world from the time of the wounding.
Considering this woman's professional history, and the fact that she, despite blatant incompetence, "falls upwards". Makes it impossible not to imagine that something very dirty is going on behind the scenes.
Once again, the only theme in Disney Star Wars is "ME ME ME ME ME!" By the creators and writers. They expect everyone else to celebrate their own therapy session as much as they do. But it's so hopelessly niche and repugnant to most normal people that it's just shallow tripe a middle schooler would know is shallow, preachy, nonsense written by inept but self-important narcissistic writers.
@@darrekworkman5595 in classical psychology, yes. In modern psychology, turning into a self-victimizing ball of narcissism that demands the world change to suit your grace, your highness, your eminence, yourself, is the whole point.
I've been rewatching the Bixby/Ferrigno hulk. Even with "silly" (but fun) special effects, its staggering the contrast of character development the first 10 minutes has to a whole season of whatever they call this.
THAT IS NOT TRUE!?! There are a LOT of GOOD movies that make the audience think! "Sixth Sense" comes to mind. Okay it doesn't work if the writers and directors don't think through all the angles so the story still makes sense when the big revel happens and there is NO WAY anything by Disney in current year is capable of that.
It's sad that even when she grew up she still didn't understand what Darth Vader being seduced by the Dark Side meant. And then did her best to surround herself with people that also didn't know (or care).
It made sense with her life experience. She literally had the job of feeding young people to her boss for fame, money and power in exchange for sex. She probably got in on it from time to time since her and her boss have the same tastes.
Who would have ever thought that having George Lucas' and Steven Spielberg's pimp specifically hire Harvey Weinstein's pimp wouldn't result in quality entertainment?
Rotten Tomatoes took down all audience scores for Disney+ Star Wars shows. They probably took it down because Nielsen just posted their Top 10 for the week of Acolyte's release. It's 7th in Original with 488 (million) with less than 3 million average for those two episodes (if at 43 minutes).
It’s about manufacturing consent and compiling a narrative for the ESG (Epstein Soros Gates), the establishment is defending its propaganda and the vandalisms of Regime Cheerleaders. This is the deliberate destruction of popular culture, the infantilization of storytelling along with the uglification of the arts, as a psyop against the human race, we are only as good as the stories we tell and the caliber of the morals we can convey to future generations of people.
Her answers are so shallow on everything. I've seen literally fan fictions and elevator pitches has more thought put into it than this $180 Million Dollar project.
As someone that used to read all tipe of fan fiction in fan fiction archives, more or less like two or tree years ago, i have read fan ficitons much better than these, and in deviant art, i have also have read better fan ficiton too
@@Krysnha that's just it.. the writers of the Wokeshite aren't even star wars FANS 😖 they thought that would be a plus.. but instead they've shit out a cringeworthy mediocre product
@@iturnedintoamartian-cm6nd Yes, when one thinks that the idea of the dark side o is hot, for them the idea of the dark side, o no the dark side is good and jedi are evil, or not so good, so in theyre minds, the freedom to kill who you want or just cause harm is good, already show what they want and what they desire, is amaising to think they shame men for wanting to see sexy females, but o no they can see al the men naked they want becaus they are the good guys, o yes, is so sad. And i like the universe the setting and the idea of jedi and sith, the starships and more, but i have seen i am a fan of street figther and i have seen what these tipes of idiots do to a setting they grab it destroy it, they dont give a crap about the characters, the setting, anything only care wha they want, like arch said he put it so well, they dont care dark sidious the emperor, who create a web of lies, truths, half truths to rule the galaxy and create the emprei, darth vaders, fall to the dark side, his redemption, nothing, or even dark plaguis his experiments that create eventualy create Anakim, they reduce star wars to he is hot
In this interview, when speaking of the two actresses playing the younger Mae/Osha she says " I was very conscious of what I was doing to these girls." We'll better late than never.
3:31 I would have loved to see that scene from Serenity when Malcolm is asked how he can always tell Fanty and Mingo apart, and he says "Fanty's prettier"
"There wasn't enough time to make it make sense." What!?! I'll remember that 'excuse' the next time I make a chilli and neglect to boil the kidney beans.
All I can think about this is "How the hell did Leslye ever convince anyone she was at all qualified to have anything to do with a major production? Or even a small production?"
"Donkey Pictures". Where you have photos of someone engaging with a farm animal. Pretty sure that happened at work years ago. Completely useless coworker. Years on a project concerning ATM machines. Going nowhere. Had a helper that later on became a bank president. Boss retires. A month or so later, guy retires. When we heard, one of us said "Donkey Pictures", the rest of us nodded our heads in agreement.,
@@lancebakore497she wasn’t really his pimp. That implies she pimped him out. She was the one bringing him women (allegedly), maybe even the one taking pictures for blackmail ( allegedly), but she wasn’t pimping him out.
If there isn’t enough time in your 4 years of planning show. You have failed at the starting line you have tripped and fallen before the race even started
Remember back when movies were only like an hour and a half and told a complete story with fleshed out characters? The Acolyte has something like 3.5 hours of actual show after intro and credits, but I can see how they were pressed for time to have someone chase another person to two locations.
Just look at Andor --- pacing, story, arcs, motivations, conflicts of interest and more for multiple characters were fully done. Yes Andor was the title character but the whole Mon Mothma arc was sublime -- showing how someone in power was having to dance between appearances and rebelling. So well done. Pacing was excellent. It was story (not plot) first and action second. They told a more compelling and interesting story in the one prison episode than we've seen in the Acolyte so far ... Showing how the prison / slavery worked, the motivations that the empire had but how much limited on resources they were. The prisoners believing they were working for freedom but that being a shattered illusion by the end ... all amazingly well written and acted - we had an amazing piece of Star Wars world building all wrapped up in a single episode.
If I was a large company who’s in the business of making large amounts of money. I would NOT keep making the same mistake again and again and again. I would either try something new, or heaven forbid ask the consumer what they actually want. Whoever’s running Disney is as bright as hockey puck in a dark basement
If I were in Disney’s place and Lesley approached me with the pitch and some scripts for the Acolyte, I’d be far more likely to have security escort her out and ban her from ever stepping foot on any property owned by Disney and blacklist her from ever gaining employment in Disney or even the entire industry if I could. Then I’d burn the scripts, cancel the Acolyte and redirect the money to a new Star Wars show and try to find a talented showrunner who is an actual fan of the original trilogy who could actually come up with a premise that would actually fit within the franchise and keep the Jedi as a good faction. Failing that I’d just go to a poor area of the city and give $1 million to the first 200 low income households that I came across. Either that the $200 million wouldn’t be wasted.
The Acolyte is a Shart Onion. Each layer peeled away reveals so many more below it, each getting worse. I love how Headland admits that she does not understand many elements of her own story.
Not even 60 seconds in, Headlamp says Pudgy Pablo was her SW support, the guy who attacked everyone's favorite Man-Tear moment with CGI Luke... Of Course!
The person who arranged meatings for Harvy Weinstead was given a show with a budget that supposedly was almost 200 million dollars. This is what you are doing Disney.
Harvey made great films; she clearly learned nothing whilst making the tea ! Think there should be a statute of limitations for actresses; if you are willing to ‘play’ to get a couple of movie roles; don’t come back years later when you’ve made your millions !
Well, she got rewarded for shutting up about dark things that are going on there. Like, she never knew anything happened right? Laughable. Whoever is covering for rapists and pedos, are the same as them. Pope or plumber, no difference.
A part of me screams inside at that figure. 200 million dollars could change the lives of hundreds or possibly thousands of ordinary people born into poverty or low income households. At this most basic splits. $1 million per person would change the lives of 200 poor folk. Half a million each would still be life changing for 400 poor folk. Heck even a quarter of a million could still be life changing for 800 poor folk. Instead it’s absolutely wasted on a worthless “tv” show that nobody wants and is being run by idiots who can’t tell the difference between “seduced by the easy power of the dark side of the Force” and sexual seduction.
1:27 Watching Mae's face slide off her head reminded me of the end of Silent Hill F teaser trailer where that poor Japanese girl has all the flowers growing out of her. She cries a single tear, then her face peels away.
But we know Headland is lying about the identical twins in casting, because she already said Amandala was the person she had in mind when she wrote Mae and Osha and who she intended to cast and that Amandala didn't even have to audition, nor did Squid Game Guy or at least two or three other actors she cast in The Acolyte. And how in the actual fuck is 4 hours not enough time for character development? So Gone with the Wind and fucking Lawrence of Arabia didn't have enough time to flesh out characters and a plot? There wasn't enough time to flesh out a good story and to have character development in the Godfather? They need to just come to the conclusion that all of us came to when that first big ol' multimillion dollar piece of shit dropped and admit that Leslye Headland has no business writing anything, let alone being an unchecked showrunner for a 180 million dollar project.
Imagine if a male producer/director/writer said "Once we all saw her massive boobs we just had to write her character into a more important role for the rest of the show" 😂
It’s what’s wrong with Kathleen Kennedy. She looks at Star Wars as a sci-fi movie. George Lucas looks at Star Wars as history of aliens in a region of space. It really happens and these are their diaries of this group of people. You have the history of their planets all named, the Jedi all named and the time they lived in including birth and death certificates, their lineage all mapped out, the hero’s and the villains all mapped out. But she thinks it’s a made up game and that’s why she makes no money on these stories of their lives.
The corporate security chief in one scene of the first episode of Andor has more character personality and motivation than all the characters in Acolyte
I actually thought they were doing all of this on purpose. Like, they were ruining the first on purpose. Now, I think they're genuinely just profoundly stupid.
It's amazing how they're celebrating exploiting men's bodies in this series, yet if it was a woman instead, it'd be one of the most extreme freakouts about toxicity ever
the personal assistant to Harvey Weinstein - would (hypothetically) probably have enough 'leverage' to get awarded a 'license to masterpiece' any hollywood franchise. Especially Disney - since Disney bought Miramax years and years ago.
It is just pure nepotism, hire your wife, shitty actress, OK! Hire the main star with no interview? OK! They pretty much hired their friends and handed out shitload of money, but it's OK, the fans hate woman! :) Really dumb, but I do not watch Star Wars even when it's free...
@@db5094I suspect it’s an old family friend situation . I bet leslye gleefully rode Harvey’s knee … makes me think of that dreadful horseback riding scene in RoP
Pretty sure she's just friends with KK. She cold called KK and asked for a show and KK cut her a check for 180 million. They're probably 'besties' or some crap. It's just nepotism because they run in the same social circles and eat each other out (hopefully not literally, but it's possible)
1.30 minutes in that cutting hair with light sabre scene , face falls off was so funny ……sadly it was not real as “ faceless “ showed more emotion and character than her actual face …weird weird …
The whole mask possessed by a sith and dominating someone’s mind to do its bidding is actually a plot point in an old Star Wars novel. It where Vader got the design plans for his palace on Mustafar.
So bloody well wait now.... Did she just admit to basically pulling a Ghostbusters 2016 with the script writing?! FFS, this is exactly the crap we gripe about talentless hack writing.
In the 90s film The Craft the good girl becomes afraid to invoke Manon . She tells the older Good Witch _"Nancy did that and it made her crazy."_ and the woman says _"She takes Manon to a dark place."_ After examining Headlamp's thought processes you can see how aware that Craft scene actually was.
Is Osha's bizarre desire to be with a mass murderer the way that Lezzye shows us her unfulfilled desire to be with Harvey, because not even he could find anything desirable about her?
Little off topic but when I researched Inside Out 2 because my wife wanted to see it, I found a Screen Rant article bemoaning they didn’t make the 13 year old main character ‘queer’ and there wasn’t any representation. Once I saw that I knew it be a good movie. And I was right. Screen Rant doesn’t know good entertainment.
"8 episodes aren't enough for major character development." WTF?! 8 episodes of just under half an hour, so nearly 4 hours. How do 1.5-2 hour films manage to successfully develop characters in half the time? Maybe they don't spend their time looking around, walking around, saying nothing with blank faces, and being utterly useless. Just a thought for you, Screen Rant.
Don't forget the numerous times someone is about to drop some major exposition, only to get conveniently interrupted or losing interest for no reason except to waste time.
Last surviving 'fan' clinging to the franchise "I put some thought into this and it would be so cool if..." "I'll stop you right there, I just put a chick in it and made it gay and lame." "Oh..."
“Thinking emotionally” Without showing it on her face at all. I enjoyed the clip of mouth breathing followed by the clip of the walk into the pole. 😆 Also, I felt the same way about the myth of “needing more time for character development”. It was written terribly wrong if it takes more than 5 to 8 minutes to know a character.
The Acolyte has more runtime than A New Hope. That movie, by itself, was a phenomena. They sure as heck didn't need 'more time' to get everyone to understand and fall in love with Han, Luke, Leia, Ben, Vader, etc...
@@chucklebouf5379 yeah, cuz those characters were well written and likeable. You know how they are within 10 minutes and watch them progress well in personality and skills while still having professional dignity.
I thought Headland told Stenberg that she’d written the characters of Mae and Osha specifically for her, so why did she bother auditioning several identical twins for the roles………? 🤔
"time is an issue" in the sense that they can't find enough stuff to fill 8x 25-min episodes because they barely know how to read and need an adult to help them write down their ideas
Cutting the amount of episodes doesn't change the quality you are as good at ep 1 as ep 22. Exception being of course if you had only agreed to a mini series or 12 episodes or something. You ask me to make a full season of dementia Joe I don't think I can 8 episodes... Maybe but then I might be criticized over including poo jokes cause you can't avoid those with him.
On reflection, y'know what the Tooth Vader twist reminds me of? Hans, from Frozen. Because the two things everybody knows about Frozen are (1) that really poppy villain song, and (2) the Hans twist, or more specifically how much it sucked. Hans was not a single character. He was two halves taken from two entirely different half-formed characters for the sake of a twist villain, which is really perplexing when there was a complete _non_-twist villain in Elsa. (Search your feelings...) For Hans, two halves didn't add up to a whole, as we basically had to be reintroduced to him post-twist. Surprise, there wasn't enough effort put into marrying the two halves of the character into a cohesive singular entity, probably because most of the movie was written, and probably even animated to some degree, before the twist was conceived. That's not a character. That's the aftermath of a Kung Lao fatality. Watching these clowns try to write puts me in the mind of somebody trying to build a building from left to right. How little planning sense must you possess to squander an entire episode of your eight-episode story on perving on an actor you didn't realize was shredded until you shot _the fifth episode?_ Didn't _you_ cast him, Leslye? (And who taught you to spell "Leslie" with a Y anyway?) How little common sense must you posses to actually _admit to doing that?_
I agree. When I read the fan theory that the trolls are the real villains of the movie, because they used their magic to change Hans so that Kristoff could end with Anna, I thought that it made far more sense than the plot twist. After all, Hans has the love song with the female coprotagonist. He's the only villain in classic Disney to have a love song like that...

There are probably parodies out there that are better made than the Acolyte.
Secretly well written 🤣👍
Where can I find the full video of the audio talkover? :v
Did they deprive a job to actual biological twins? How twinphobic.
Bio-nazi! I cannot believe you value biological twins more than make-believe twins.
Twins are a small minority that deserve representation.
How very non-progressive of Disney
I am so disappointed
Twin appropriation
I'm doubly triggered for each twin!

Or put the shopping cart back.

“Who cares about a birthday”
If you have any modicum of care for the world building, you would care! It’s literally the most basic thing ever! A character can’t be somewhere when he isn’t even born yet!
And yet, she probably loses her absolute spit when someone forgets HER birthday (or assumes she's older than she is).
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).
In other words, we probably got non-identical twins because *_Brick Face was thirsty for Amandla Stenberg specifically._*
How she's getting a kick out of destroying something that was once so beloved is disturbing.
It's because I am so toxic, everyone has to suffer until I stop 🤪☕️🤡🌐
Sorry, we, until we stop 🤪
The money she was paid to do it probably helps.

It's just gross.
Well some ordinary people came famous for killing a famous person...

The fact that Leslye Headland admits she didn't understand what Vader being "seduced by the Dark Side" means says it all.
She thought this entire time that Vader was SEXUALLY seduced.
What can he say, Emporer Palpatine was one sexy piece of charred man meat...
Hah
She saw Palpatine do it to a lot of younglings in her time. She helped. So naturally she just assumed that was what was meant.
Giving us example no. 1,789,362 that these "progressive" types base every single facet of their lives around sex (and the more degenerate it is, the better) and can't even begin to understand how nobody else does or why we are disgusted by them.
The fact that Lesbian Headlamp has all but admitted to fantasizing about an incestuous relationship with her sister (who has disowned her) was example no. 1,789,344.
I mean, you write what you know.
It's clear that everything about Headland is tied to sex and her sexual identity. Even when you look at the few other shows she supposedly wrote, they are literally about partying and sex addicts. She has zero talent, skill or even depth of thought.
The series is built on mysteries. Like, how did these writers get hired. How much acid were they one while writing the script. How much worse can each episode get.
There were no drugs... just pure and plain brainless writing.

Andy Serkis: "I did all my scenes outside with Elijah and Sean and then everything again in a mocap studio."
Vigo Mortensen: "I wore my sword everywhere I went so it would feel more natural while filiming."
Leslye: "I couldn't tell the identical twons apart."
Leslie continually laughing at the end of each sentence betrays she is very unsure and/or knows she is full of it.
Did I hear her correctly that she forgot about the tattoo that Mae had on her forehead that Osha didn't have? If so, that is a shocking level of incompetence.
Especially as she'd have to have the damn thing put on every time she shoots as Maybe....how can you not think of that?

She seemed genuinely happy to have the wookie jedi killed offscreen.
Seriously! She is proud to kill off a potentially cool character
She's clearly getting off on breaking our toys to fuel her fanfiction.
She probably had ppl tell her it was a bad idea but got her way in the end. Smh
Although I disagree with disparu and a lot of this comment section and even this comment as I don't know her motivations - it would have been great to see a wookie wielding a lightsaber - I would totally watch a show with a Jedi wookie as the main character... Sigh.
The show could have featured a single Jedi wookie that just made wookie noises every episode, that would have been much better😂
How did Screen Rant come up with the idea that Anakin's turn to the Dark Side happened "too quickly" when it was heavily focused on throughout the _entire prequel trilogy!?_
I’ll never forget when I was a kid and saw Empire for the first time, the scene where Yoda pulls Luke’s X-Wing from the swamp was so thrilling and revealing, with John William’s score truly making it something magical. The force was not a cheap, malleable plot device but rather a mysterious character of its own, and at that point we began to see the true power of wielding it. There’s absolutely nothing memorable or mysterious like that in the latest offerings from Disney, they feel like superficial, poorly conceived, amateur entertainment. These modern creators, whether intentional or not, take the qualities that made Star Wars what it was to begin with and throw them in the garbage, presenting us their own interpretations that are unrecognizable but worse yet lack any substance to be in league with their original predecessors or stand up on their own. I don’t give a shit what diverse people are in a project, just make the forefront the quality and storytelling of the project itself and make it worthy if you’re going to attach such an iconic name to it.
It's WORSE than that! Star Wars has always BEEN diverse, and better than the current 'writers' could ever conceive! Hell, I still think the hero of the original trilogy was R2D2!

I visited Skywalker ranch and you know the saddest thing? It has a library that houses pretty much every book George Lucas felt would help and encourage every film maker to make encompassing and emotional films. Not one of them, I fear, has taken advantage of, yet even spent time within the splendour of that piece of beautiful architecture.
in 1987, when Ted Turner the billionaire colorized classic b/w movies made by MGM, the studio he had just acquired. Hollywood went up in arms, many actors and producers, including George Lucus ran a campaign in Congress to have Ted, the copy right owners stoped. They said Turner had no moral right to alter their arts.
When major football clubs decided to create Super European League, their fans rose up and calling for the owners to leave the clubs. They said the clubs belong to the fans since they pay for them. the clubs owners are mere custodians. Ultimately, the clubs backed off.
If the curators of the Louvre Museum decided he could improve on Mona Lisa’s smile, Could he do it? Curators of the art has no right to alter the art. They can make profit from them, but not to alter them.
Star Wars’ Universe, including characters and their stories is Art. If the woke Star Wars films were good, why didn’t they create their own art, their own Universes? They can even call it Star Wars adaptation. Why mess with someone else’s art?
Fans of Star Wars should get organized and call for it’s protection against art vandalism. Disney’s share holders should be their main target.
Here to that👍
Leslye Headland was Harvey Weinstein's fluffer...
Which makes her a perfect show runner for modern Star Wars, apparently.
Is that why one of the episodes Smilo takes a passed out girl to a secluded island no one knows about? She writes what she knows!

she was harvey's *Ghislaine Maxwell* if we want to go there
I read that as "a perfect slow runner". "Run Forest, Run", they both "run" slower than most people, but Forest had a decent head on his shoulders and thought things through. For Headspace it's, ideology is, as ideology does.
Life's like a box of scripts, you never know what you'll get.
Taking an unconscious girl to a secret island. Hmm, I wonder from where did Harvey Weinstein's Acolyte got this idea...
All that goes through their brains is lust, lust, lust, and this isn’t what Star Wars is about. We didn’t tune in for smut. Fifty Shades of Oshamir. 🤢
Kinda makes you understand why she was the perfect secretary for weinstein. She probably enjoyed it just as much
@@Ghostalking it always goes through my mind every time I see a replay of her cringe entrance when they announced the show: she probably only too happily led his victims right into his hotel suite, drooling.
This is why classic Star Wars romance is much better!🥰💘

She Lena Dunhamed her own sister as a kid. She more that likely got a few pieces herself (and probably still is).
Someone pointed out that the helmet looks like a bondage mask.
"Mysterious on paper" is literally how you'd describe a character who is not mysterious in practice.
She...holy shit she doesn't know they're not identical twins....
Actually, it's a bit dumber. She could not tell the difference between the twins who were trying out, so she went with non-identical twins instead.
Except she said she built the role specifically for Amandla after seeing her as a little girl in the Hunger Games.
@@danimei3624 I'm trying to get my head around the concept of her using Plank Stendler as both roles but not using actual twins for the child roles.

We've reached the point where i'm almost 100% convinced all this is done on purpose cause i refuse to believe that, after increasingly more and more backlash and BILLIONS of dollars lost, that they just keep committing and doing it worse and worse.
@@AzureRoxe You underestimate how cliquey and stupid women in power are. They are losing millions because some catty old hags have tea parties together and just want to give their friends hand outs.

"It's just a birthday."
Oh, OK. So when can we expect to see Luke show up? I mean it doesn't matter that he won't be born for over a century, it's just a birthday.
Luke being born before his own father was honestly the kind of bold twist I never could have seen coming.
That mentality pisses me off. The small details are the most important. If something is only important for the plot then it’s nothing but a plot device. The small irrelevant details are what makes worlds feel alive.
Is it important to know that Rebel capital ships were refitted Mon Calamari star cruisers? Not really but that sentence adds so much more depth. It shows how desperate the Rebels are by essentially strapping cannons to cruise liners and cargo ships.
@@Masyokan It also shows the importance of the Mon Calamari to the Rebel Alliance and therefore adds to Admiral Ackbar. Even when I was a kid I understood that the ship was made by his people, so it made sense that he'd be in command.
This is just RoP all over again. XD I have lost my mind trying to understand where on the timeline that dumpster fire was meant to happen.

the best part about this interview is the product placing in the back, I WILL NOT belive ONE SECOND that Lesbie Headlamp has any of that in her room, on low cost Ikea shelves
WOW... the Dunning-Kruger Effect.... it's LITERALLY Leslye Headland.
They are glorifying the Bad Boy, the kind who does what he wants with his power even if that means killing people... and how that's "hot"... this show is fucked up
They’ve done that for a while with Che Guevara. It kind of fits
I agree, it's fundamentally depraved.
Basically, he murdered loads of people, but he is hot so it's ok.
That's it. That's the Acolyte.
And Ted Bundy
Oh, please, a story old as time. Chicks dig the "bad boy." Chicks will almost always through away EVERYTHING for a chance at that bad boy c*ck.
It's Luciferian.. 'bad' to them is whatever prevents them from getting or doing whatever they want
11:19 I can never get over the fact that Ruby's mother named her by pointing to a sign, when no one was even there to see. So dumb.
To sum up the entire problem with these wackos is the fact she was weirded out and didnt understand that Vader was "seduced" by the dark side. I was a very young child when I first watched star wars. Ive never been the least bit confused by that word. I mean, its literally called context and its one of the basic fundamentals of written language. "Vader was seduced by the dark side" is different than "OSHA was seduced by the naked body of a sith". seduced means the same thing in both examples, but the kind of "seduction" we are talking about is slightly different. Words arent just fluid and mean whatever you want them to. Hence why we have "thats what she said jokes".
I’m still trying to wrap my mind around the fact that she doesn’t understand how Vader was seduced by the dark side.
It wasn’t getting his rocks off every time he did something evil. Palpatine wasn’t…. Servicing him every time he did something evil. I’m struggling to believe that’s what she thought it meant.
Instead of, y’know, Vader enjoyed the emotional feeling of power and strength, which are the principles of how the dark side of the Force works. The more he enjoyed the dark side, the more power he could tap into.
I can’t believe she doesn’t understand this.
@@mikoto7693 ...It is literally explained in the original pretty damn well. "Give into your Rage Luke."
Vader was seduced by the Dark Side of human emotions. We ALL have a Dark Side, and as Yoda and Obi Wan say in The Empire Strikes Back, "once you turn to the Dark Side, forever will it dominate your destiny", "Yes, a Jedi's strength flows from the Force. But beware of the dark side. Anger, fear, aggression; the dark side of the Force are they. Easily they flow, quick to join you in a fight". And Obi Wan says, "Luke, don't give in to hate".
Every time you show Smylo breathing in that helmet, all I can think of is Dark Helmet from Space Balls.
Her lack of self-awareness that the things she's saying are ... astonishing. Like she's proud that she doesn't give her actors anything to work with??
Also, not knowing what seduced by evil means as a kid is fine, but beinf weirded out by it as an adult?
Making Osha's moral structure crumble because of an emotional aspect would make sense if ...well, it was exactly the opposite of what we got. If her moral code breaks because she is absolutely torn for revenge against Smilo Ren instead of wanting to get into his pants. Lesley isn't aware of how transparent her lack of moral compass is to anyone actually listening to what she says and taking her at her words.
Despite what her worldview thinks, having everything reduced to sexual impulse is not deep, compelling, or edgy. It's juvenile and depressingly shallow.
I think she just assumes seducton must only mean sex.
@@jakobjas4212 yep, she gives strong vibes that is the only lens she thinks through. Everything *must* be sexualized.
I'm not sure if you're aware of what her former job was, but she was Harvey Weinstein's personal assistant that was in 'resource acquisition' so to speak. Her life for a long time was feeding young girls to her boss and watching them fold for clout and fame and she thinks that was all normal. Since the tide has turned she publicly somehow denies any knowledge of what was happening and thinks it was bad™, but you can see how her morality and brain actually works in series like this to see why she was totally fine with it all that time. She probably got in on the action since she swings that way.
Wasn’t osha just flirting with jecki?! Witnessed this guy brutally murder her crush and lame friend jord…

This interview was so illuminating.
The utter incompetence, the incoherency, all of it makes so much sense.
Tell me, is there anything more that describes how worthless Hollywood is than two NOT IDENTICAL SISTERS taking the spot of IDENTICAL TWINS in a show, because the show runner is too blind and stupid to differentiate them. It's like if they were auditioning people for the role of The Mountain in GOT and picked Destiny, the streamer to play the role.
And then telling destiny they tossed the script and he has to just make it up 😅
"A genius like Amandala" "The whole theme doesn't work if her performance isn't as great as it is"
I could personally play the same character better without question. I am a short, fat, white guy, and i have 0 acting classes. I guarantee you i could portray black female lesbian twins better than Amandala. This is like saying someone is a math genius who can only add 2+2=4. Literally can't do any other math or add other numbers. You ask for 5×5 and you hear 2+2=4. Any person in this industry that says she is a genius and this performance is even adequate should be fired. One facial expression. Watching a hot naked guy, hearing I'm about to tell you something really important, and even accusing the guy who murdered your friends that he murdered your friends all get the same face. Genius!!

What psychologists have discovered is that trauma (as in sexual, physical, or emotional abuse) when it is inflicted on children or adolescence, stunts the young person's growth trapping part of them at the age of the trauma, hence it would follow that as their body matures there remains that part of their psyche (psychology) that still views the world from the time of the wounding.
Considering this woman's professional history, and the fact that she, despite blatant incompetence, "falls upwards". Makes it impossible not to imagine that something very dirty is going on behind the scenes.
She's as smart and talented as she is beautiful. 😂
I get Harvey vibes from her all around. Especially with the interviews she had with the actresses of the show.
i snort laughed .... i admit it
Once again, the only theme in Disney Star Wars is "ME ME ME ME ME!" By the creators and writers. They expect everyone else to celebrate their own therapy session as much as they do. But it's so hopelessly niche and repugnant to most normal people that it's just shallow tripe a middle schooler would know is shallow, preachy, nonsense written by inept but self-important narcissistic writers.
It's the self insert problem women have stemming from sociopathy.
... If these works are therapy sessions wouldn't there be some progress or personal development on display somewhere?
@@darrekworkman5595 in classical psychology, yes. In modern psychology, turning into a self-victimizing ball of narcissism that demands the world change to suit your grace, your highness, your eminence, yourself, is the whole point.
I've been rewatching the Bixby/Ferrigno hulk. Even with "silly" (but fun) special effects, its staggering the contrast of character development the first 10 minutes has to a whole season of whatever they call this.
“We want the audience to do the thinking…” said no movie executive ever….
THAT IS NOT TRUE!?! There are a LOT of GOOD movies that make the audience think! "Sixth Sense" comes to mind. Okay it doesn't work if the writers and directors don't think through all the angles so the story still makes sense when the big revel happens and there is NO WAY anything by Disney in current year is capable of that.
The little kid versions of Mae and OSHA were not identical twins. Anyone who could not tell them apart has the brain capacity of a hamster.
That's why twins were not selected. It would be very confusing to have them when they are wearing the same clothing.
As long as it put the girl she was stalking/possibly brooming since she was a teenager onscreen, Brick Face clearly did not care.
Also, Osha Mae is a Canadian feminine hygiene company IRL. You really can't make this crap up.

Distinct lack of books on Leslie's shelves...
It's sad that even when she grew up she still didn't understand what Darth Vader being seduced by the Dark Side meant. And then did her best to surround herself with people that also didn't know (or care).
It made sense with her life experience. She literally had the job of feeding young people to her boss for fame, money and power in exchange for sex. She probably got in on it from time to time since her and her boss have the same tastes.
Can sociopaths understand? I don't think they could.
Who would have ever thought that having George Lucas' and Steven Spielberg's pimp specifically hire Harvey Weinstein's pimp wouldn't result in quality entertainment?
Rotten Tomatoes took down all audience scores for Disney+ Star Wars shows. They probably took it down because Nielsen just posted their Top 10 for the week of Acolyte's release. It's 7th in Original with 488 (million) with less than 3 million average for those two episodes (if at 43 minutes).
It’s about manufacturing consent and compiling a narrative for the ESG (Epstein Soros Gates), the establishment is defending its propaganda and the vandalisms of Regime Cheerleaders. This is the deliberate destruction of popular culture, the infantilization of storytelling along with the uglification of the arts, as a psyop against the human race, we are only as good as the stories we tell and the caliber of the morals we can convey to future generations of people.

Remember back when movies were only like an hour and a half and told a complete story with fleshed out characters? The Acolyte has something like 3.5 hours of actual show after intro and credits, but I can see how they were pressed for time to have someone chase another person to two locations.

Sir, you are a man of culture.
They should be ashamed of themselves.
Shame in Hollywood? Unlikely.
They have no shame.
Hollywood is the epicenter of gueer ness so I seriously doubt it .
That would require them to know what shame is.
They’re incapable of doing that
Just look at Andor --- pacing, story, arcs, motivations, conflicts of interest and more for multiple characters were fully done. Yes Andor was the title character but the whole Mon Mothma arc was sublime -- showing how someone in power was having to dance between appearances and rebelling. So well done. Pacing was excellent. It was story (not plot) first and action second.
They told a more compelling and interesting story in the one prison episode than we've seen in the Acolyte so far ... Showing how the prison / slavery worked, the motivations that the empire had but how much limited on resources they were. The prisoners believing they were working for freedom but that being a shattered illusion by the end ... all amazingly well written and acted - we had an amazing piece of Star Wars world building all wrapped up in a single episode.
If I was a large company who’s in the business of making large amounts of money. I would NOT keep making the same mistake again and again and again. I would either try something new, or heaven forbid ask the consumer what they actually want. Whoever’s running Disney is as bright as hockey puck in a dark basement
If I were in Disney’s place and Lesley approached me with the pitch and some scripts for the Acolyte, I’d be far more likely to have security escort her out and ban her from ever stepping foot on any property owned by Disney and blacklist her from ever gaining employment in Disney or even the entire industry if I could.
Then I’d burn the scripts, cancel the Acolyte and redirect the money to a new Star Wars show and try to find a talented showrunner who is an actual fan of the original trilogy who could actually come up with a premise that would actually fit within the franchise and keep the Jedi as a good faction.
Failing that I’d just go to a poor area of the city and give $1 million to the first 200 low income households that I came across. Either that the $200 million wouldn’t be wasted.
My favourite part was when the Jedi Master's personal assistant made sure no evidence was left behind. 😉

Not even 60 seconds in, Headlamp says Pudgy Pablo was her SW support, the guy who attacked everyone's favorite Man-Tear moment with CGI Luke... Of Course!
The person who arranged meatings for Harvy Weinstead was given a show with a budget that supposedly was almost 200 million dollars. This is what you are doing Disney.
Harvey made great films; she clearly learned nothing whilst making the tea ! Think there should be a statute of limitations for actresses; if you are willing to ‘play’ to get a couple of movie roles; don’t come back years later when you’ve made your millions !
Well, she got rewarded for shutting up about dark things that are going on there. Like, she never knew anything happened right? Laughable. Whoever is covering for rapists and pedos, are the same as them. Pope or plumber, no difference.
A part of me screams inside at that figure. 200 million dollars could change the lives of hundreds or possibly thousands of ordinary people born into poverty or low income households.
At this most basic splits. $1 million per person would change the lives of 200 poor folk.
Half a million each would still be life changing for 400 poor folk.
Heck even a quarter of a million could still be life changing for 800 poor folk.
Instead it’s absolutely wasted on a worthless “tv” show that nobody wants and is being run by idiots who can’t tell the difference between “seduced by the easy power of the dark side of the Force” and sexual seduction.
@@mikoto7693 they would have gotten better press if they just gave the money to the poor. But that is not the power of maaanyyyyy.
How is this show a mystery, again?
How is this show for kids?
How is Hedland free?
she has a ton of dirt on everybody in hollywood AND she ratted out her "master" for immunity to the cops
How did that sh*t show get green lighted

1:27 Watching Mae's face slide off her head reminded me of the end of Silent Hill F teaser trailer where that poor Japanese girl has all the flowers growing out of her. She cries a single tear, then her face peels away.
But we know Headland is lying about the identical twins in casting, because she already said Amandala was the person she had in mind when she wrote Mae and Osha and who she intended to cast and that Amandala didn't even have to audition, nor did Squid Game Guy or at least two or three other actors she cast in The Acolyte.
And how in the actual fuck is 4 hours not enough time for character development? So Gone with the Wind and fucking Lawrence of Arabia didn't have enough time to flesh out characters and a plot? There wasn't enough time to flesh out a good story and to have character development in the Godfather? They need to just come to the conclusion that all of us came to when that first big ol' multimillion dollar piece of shit dropped and admit that Leslye Headland has no business writing anything, let alone being an unchecked showrunner for a 180 million dollar project.
Imagine if a male producer/director/writer said "Once we all saw her massive boobs we just had to write her character into a more important role for the rest of the show" 😂
Honestly I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s happened. Everyone can be sexist. It’s just so stupid
Instead in Madame Web we had "once we saw Sydney Sweeney's massive boobs we covered them up for the whole film".
It’s what’s wrong with Kathleen Kennedy. She looks at Star Wars as a sci-fi movie. George Lucas looks at Star Wars as history of aliens in a region of space. It really happens and these are their diaries of this group of people. You have the history of their planets all named, the Jedi all named and the time they lived in including birth and death certificates, their lineage all mapped out, the hero’s and the villains all mapped out. But she thinks it’s a made up game and that’s why she makes no money on these stories of their lives.
Acolyte is AcoShite.
Acolyte is Star Wars Lite.
The Farce is strong with the Acolyte.
Bud lite.
The corporate security chief in one scene of the first episode of Andor has more character personality and motivation than all the characters in Acolyte
I actually thought they were doing all of this on purpose. Like, they were ruining the first on purpose.
Now, I think they're genuinely just profoundly stupid.
Maybe in another 5 years you'll have the epiphany that there's a likely a combination of both factors at play here.
"Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity"
Either way, it is a sign of the absolutely criminal levels of incompetence rampant throughout all aspects of society
It's amazing how they're celebrating exploiting men's bodies in this series, yet if it was a woman instead, it'd be one of the most extreme freakouts about toxicity ever
I don't know why this woman isn't in prison, considering her complete compliance in sex trafficking.
I fear for the safety of every youngling on the set of this "production".
“Ooh, I’m being interviewed by a sci-fi geek, I’d better get myself some geek stuff and haphazardly arrange it behind me!”
the personal assistant to Harvey Weinstein - would (hypothetically) probably have enough 'leverage' to get awarded a 'license to masterpiece' any hollywood franchise.
Especially Disney - since Disney bought Miramax years and years ago.
I wonder what she's seen or done for Harvey Weinstein
It is just pure nepotism, hire your wife, shitty actress, OK! Hire the main star with no interview? OK! They pretty much hired their friends and handed out shitload of money, but it's OK, the fans hate woman! :) Really dumb, but I do not watch Star Wars even when it's free...
That's crazy talk! You're at least 6 Months too early to be making sense like this.
@@db5094I suspect it’s an old family friend situation . I bet leslye gleefully rode Harvey’s knee … makes me think of that dreadful horseback riding scene in RoP
Pretty sure she's just friends with KK. She cold called KK and asked for a show and KK cut her a check for 180 million. They're probably 'besties' or some crap. It's just nepotism because they run in the same social circles and eat each other out (hopefully not literally, but it's possible)
1.30 minutes in that cutting hair with light sabre scene , face falls off was so funny ……sadly it was not real as “ faceless “ showed more emotion and character than her actual face …weird weird …
The whole mask possessed by a sith and dominating someone’s mind to do its bidding is actually a plot point in an old Star Wars novel. It where Vader got the design plans for his palace on Mustafar.
"The theory crafters who try to come up with answers to the plothotes"....damn. Disparu just described MatPat in a single sentence...youch.
So bloody well wait now.... Did she just admit to basically pulling a Ghostbusters 2016 with the script writing?! FFS, this is exactly the crap we gripe about talentless hack writing.
Ya but did you see what happened when the script writers went on strike ? ……………………… nah! Me neither 🤨!
"Wanna hold my saber? If you're really bad, I'll let you feel my helmet." - D+ Star Wars Sith, 2024.
Sounds like something Dark Helmet would say to Princess Vespa
@@Hiraghm Lesley's luggage combination is DEFINITELY "12345"
In the 90s film The Craft the good girl becomes afraid to invoke Manon . She tells the older Good Witch _"Nancy did that and it made her crazy."_ and the woman says _"She takes Manon to a dark place."_
After examining Headlamp's thought processes you can see how aware that Craft scene actually was.
Is Osha's bizarre desire to be with a mass murderer the way that Lezzye shows us her unfulfilled desire to be with Harvey, because not even he could find anything desirable about her?
Imagine being showrunner and telling the world that his is your masterpiece. How the fuck woudl you get hired again if it so bad.
She's a lesbian with dirt on half of Hollywood at probably the most sexist time in its history.
She'll get plenty of work.
She's the pimp for Harvey, and the pimp for George and Stephen will say it wasn't her fault (either her).
Little off topic but when I researched Inside Out 2 because my wife wanted to see it, I found a Screen Rant article bemoaning they didn’t make the 13 year old main character ‘queer’ and there wasn’t any representation. Once I saw that I knew it be a good movie.
And I was right. Screen Rant doesn’t know good entertainment.
Sounds based, but honestly not even sure if I can bring myself to watch it considering how bad disney has fallen.
@@littleluxiait was a genuinely good movie. Hadn’t watched a Disney product since Endgame. Very much enjoyed IO2.
Understand the hesitation though.
@@Sharksnak7Nowadays I usually go „well, it’s Disney, I will watch it on Disney+.“ … but I don’t have Disney+
Also, someone somewhere else stated that OHSA, I mean, Osha and Mae were named after Headlamp's favourite fancy overpriced soap.
"8 episodes aren't enough for major character development."
WTF?! 8 episodes of just under half an hour, so nearly 4 hours. How do 1.5-2 hour films manage to successfully develop characters in half the time? Maybe they don't spend their time looking around, walking around, saying nothing with blank faces, and being utterly useless. Just a thought for you, Screen Rant.
Don't forget the numerous times someone is about to drop some major exposition, only to get conveniently interrupted or losing interest for no reason except to waste time.
Am I the only one who theorized that The Acolyte is ‘the gimp’ from Pulp Fiction? Explains the scars on his back.
Nope.
😑 Just when you think they've shown you how dim they are, they keep turning the lights out.
1:40 "She was thinking emotionally".
So she wasn't thinking at all...
Holy shit Batman! Turns out twins are hard to tell apart. Good god, this woman Headland…😂😂
Last surviving 'fan' clinging to the franchise "I put some thought into this and it would be so cool if..."
"I'll stop you right there, I just put a chick in it and made it gay and lame."
"Oh..."
“Thinking emotionally”
Without showing it on her face at all.
I enjoyed the clip of mouth breathing followed by the clip of the walk into the pole. 😆
Also, I felt the same way about the myth of “needing more time for character development”. It was written terribly wrong if it takes more than 5 to 8 minutes to know a character.
The Acolyte has more runtime than A New Hope. That movie, by itself, was a phenomena. They sure as heck didn't need 'more time' to get everyone to understand and fall in love with Han, Luke, Leia, Ben, Vader, etc...
@@chucklebouf5379 yeah, cuz those characters were well written and likeable. You know how they are within 10 minutes and watch them progress well in personality and skills while still having professional dignity.
Maybe he is a member of the baby Ren Brigade, the way he's actually encouraging her to have a tantrum just like Ren
>Amandla the genius
Come on, Leslye. Tell me you have a creepy crush on Amandla without telling me you have a creepy crush on Amandla.
I thought Headland told Stenberg that she’d written the characters of Mae and Osha specifically for her, so why did she bother auditioning several identical twins for the roles………? 🤔
Because she needed children to play the part
They have to get the children to traffic from somewhere
To play the girls as children since they had to interact with each other for a long time. And then she DIDN'T use identical twins. 😂
Seasons use to be 13-22 episodes. If time really is an issue, quit making 8 episodes a season!!
Time isn't an issue for modern TV series, they can't even make 8 episodes without huge sections which are nothing but filler to pad the runtime.
"time is an issue" in the sense that they can't find enough stuff to fill 8x 25-min episodes because they barely know how to read and need an adult to help them write down their ideas
Cutting the amount of episodes doesn't change the quality you are as good at ep 1 as ep 22. Exception being of course if you had only agreed to a mini series or 12 episodes or something.
You ask me to make a full season of dementia Joe I don't think I can 8 episodes... Maybe but then I might be criticized over including poo jokes cause you can't avoid those with him.
This shit show is 22 million a pop. Truly vile use of money.
Back in the day where 23 episodes didn't cost 180 millions and were good. Good times.
On reflection, y'know what the Tooth Vader twist reminds me of? Hans, from Frozen. Because the two things everybody knows about Frozen are (1) that really poppy villain song, and (2) the Hans twist, or more specifically how much it sucked. Hans was not a single character. He was two halves taken from two entirely different half-formed characters for the sake of a twist villain, which is really perplexing when there was a complete _non_-twist villain in Elsa. (Search your feelings...) For Hans, two halves didn't add up to a whole, as we basically had to be reintroduced to him post-twist. Surprise, there wasn't enough effort put into marrying the two halves of the character into a cohesive singular entity, probably because most of the movie was written, and probably even animated to some degree, before the twist was conceived. That's not a character. That's the aftermath of a Kung Lao fatality.
Watching these clowns try to write puts me in the mind of somebody trying to build a building from left to right. How little planning sense must you possess to squander an entire episode of your eight-episode story on perving on an actor you didn't realize was shredded until you shot _the fifth episode?_ Didn't _you_ cast him, Leslye? (And who taught you to spell "Leslie" with a Y anyway?) How little common sense must you posses to actually _admit to doing that?_
I agree. When I read the fan theory that the trolls are the real villains of the movie, because they used their magic to change Hans so that Kristoff could end with Anna, I thought that it made far more sense than the plot twist.
After all, Hans has the love song with the female coprotagonist. He's the only villain in classic Disney to have a love song like that...
