Dear Mr.Grant; Of the video about "The Boys" returning for a fifth season; I just watched and very much enjoyed; however, when I went to make a comment praising the video,( as The Boys, was one of my favorite, series ) I wasn't able to leave a comment. Then I thought to click off the video and come back in; your entire video, about the return of "The Boys", was totally gone. Why, am I having so much trouble with your vid's? Please, I have made sure, that I've ticked to "all videos " bell; and now the disappearance of your newest video. Perhaps, for some reason you have blocked me😢 All the very best, Shaun 🦉of NYC 🗽
This was a better episode, the show overall is trash, but the fights were good and so was the Sith actor, it's ok to like something and dislike something.
@@kicknowledgesmith8608 preach, it’s important to point out the good to remain objective. Dudes always been a good actor and deserves props. The choreography was decent, but like every episode, the writing and directing were abysmal.
The ending scene will be like: Mae picks up the "sith" helmet and says *"So, that's it, huh? I'm some kind of Acolyte"* . Roll credits and a post-credit scene shows that Kylo Ren was actually a time traveling Mae. The Force was always female.
@@scottjondansteve9343 or maybe the ending shows darth plagueis wakes up from a dream as well, only for him to say "I can do that but this time maybe just one being instead of two"
Did you watch the Prequels at all? Qui-Gon Jinn’s whole deal was that he thought the Jedi had lost sight of their true goal. Dooku left the order because he was sick of the Jedi being political puppets. The Jedi Order by this point is in a state of decline, going from an order of galactic peacekeepers to tools of the Senate constricted by politics. The Jedi eventually lose touch with the force. It’s something Mace Windu says in Episode III. Yoda talks about being the force being ‘clouded’. This was something Lucas came up with 25 years ago. All they’re doing here is going along with that idea of the Jedi being in decline.
"The jedi are evil,The sith are good, Anakin blew up the death star R2D2 is a lesbian,C-3P0 is gay,The force is a thread, weird lesbian space witches can now make kids,and now Sith lords,the most powerful beings in the galaxy,that can wipe out multiple Jedi,can now be defeated by a flashlight and bugs
@@christopherbailey3547defeated then? All those Jedi couldn’t stop him yet those big bug birds are the ONLY reason he was subdued. Also a damn padawan was the only one keeping up with his ass with the masters couldn’t? Okay
What we've learned today that they could've stopped Palpatine's rise with birds instead of training the new generation of Jedi for completely no reason.
Well they’re morally evil At every single level So it makes sense They’re basically saying doing bad things is good n good is evil The Bible warned us about Disney
It is nothing new. They have already tried to shoehorn Bo-Karen as a her-o since TCW and Rebels. And it keeps not working because you can´t pretend evil is good.
Maybe I let my anger get the best of me episode 3 was pretty dang bad ahahaha but I’ll rewatch it once the whole season is done and figure out which episode is truly the worst 😂
It's a pretty frustrating one. The first 10 mins, I actually thought they do ok. Then it is a complete disaster. The writer can't write shit. They should consult chatgpt before writing anything. Well, they shouldn't write anything. Especially for Disney.
Ep5 certainly doesnt do the series any favours, like, theres nothing redeeming about it, so in a way, yeah, it kinda is the worst episode yet.. ep5 solidifies that this show is not ever going to get better..
Exactly. The overall story has writing problems no doubt, but the fights were good in this episode and so was the actor that played the Sith, he did a good job. The bug thing is a nitpick in my opinion, but everyone is entitled to their opinions.
Mae: "The Sith are good. The Jedi are evil." Osha: "If the Sith are so good, then WHY haven't you apologized for trying to kill me, and setting our stone home on fire?"
It’s all to just get clicks. Half of these ‘review’ channels just spout the same nonsense every week to appeal to a certain audience and get cheap views.
@@briandoty769 I have better things to do, especially as there’s like 20 different channels full of angry white dudes shouting the same arguments. I’d honestly give the show a 5.5/10 so far, it’s not great by any means but it’s not the biggest abomination in the history of tv like some people are making out to be. It’s better than Book of Boba Fett.
@@scottishjedi1522although I don’t get the hate Ahsoka and obi wan get (every scene in obi wan that doesn’t have young Leia in it because she breaks ANH lore) I enjoyed them while people say they suck. This show however is the absolute worst thing Disney has churned out since TROS. I think people are just happy with receiving the bare minimum of sith finally dispatching Jedi like they’re old clothes. The bar was already on the ground very hard to set it lower but the writers of this show will be damned if they don’t try 😂😂😂 edit: grammar
When I look at these episodes and their length, at the end it turns out that the entire series is about 3 hours long, which is as long as a movie. And we are supposed to believe that 180 million was spents on these 3-hour film made into a series? Where is the money, why does Coruscant's skyline look worse than in the prequels?
Okay, so while I don't think I'd enjoy this show I haven't liked the Jedi since the prequels. The prequels made it so that, to me, it wasn't as simple as good vs. evil since and I'll tell you why. To start with, the Jedi take kids from their parents and literally never let the parents and children see one another ever again. This is not the kind of thing that "good" people do, not even if the parents consent for some insane reason which no RL parent would ever do. Anakin was certainly too young to consent to anything at all. In Anakin's case, they conveniently were only able to take him away from Tatooine and not his mother. And even though he missed his mother for like TEN YEARS, the Jedi never lifted a finger to help her no matter how much he asked them to, never let him visit her, never did anything until the Tuskens kidnapped her. One could easily argue that if Anakin hadn't seen his mother succumb to whatever it was they did to her, then he might not have gone down the dark path. Do "good" people keep children from checking up on their family, even when those children have good reason to believe that their family member is in danger, which was an accurate feeling on Anakin's part? Moreover, Jedi say that you can't fall in love. That, they say, leads to the dark side. Imagine if IRL you grew up and you were forbidden to ever so much as kiss anybody or go on a date. Is that fair? Is that what "good" people do? In EU/Legends Luke Skywalker got married and had a son, and neither he nor his wife nor his son ever turned to the dark side because of that. "Good guys" do not forbid people from what should be the right of every human being: to fall in love and to have relationships. Lucas should have never written that part. It's really cruel to say that a nine year old kid who didn't even know what exactly he was signing up for when he joined the Jedi Order should never, ever go on a date for the rest of his life, or get married when he's old enough, or anything. How can it be "good" to deprive somebody of those experiences? The way the duel between Obi-Wan and Anakin ended, with Anakin getting quadruple-amputated and burning alive, and Obi-Wan not finishing him off or taking him into custody, instead just berating him about how he was supposed to be the chosen one. "Good guys" do not engage in that kind of cruelty, even to the bad guys. Yes, I know what Anakin did before the duel happened was sickening and criminal, but that's beside the point, because nobody deserves to be set on fire. If anybody does get set on fire and you don't put them out of their misery, then you're every bit as cruel as the people who did the Salem witch trials and tied women to stakes. Finally, Anakin had a vision of his wife not surviving childbirth, and he went to Yoda to see if there was anything he could do about it, and what did Yoda do? Yoda didn't offer to try and save Padme. Yoda didn't even say anything like "Sad, this is. Feel for you, I do. Wish I could prevent it, I do, but not even a Jedi Master all-powerful is. Nothing lasts forever, Anakin. Difficult it is to accept, but all of us lose people. Advise you I do to cherish your time with the one you care about; as with all things, end it will someday. Here we are for you, Anakin, in your darkest moments. Help you we will, as much as we can." No, you know what Yoda said to Anakin? Yoda told him that he ought to be HAPPY that he would lose his wife. Because she'd be one with the Force or whatever. Imagine, just imagine, that in the real world you tell your longtime teacher that you're afraid you'll lose your wife and he tells you to be HAPPY about it. How would you react? If that was the straw that broke the camel's back, if that made Anakin decide after all those years that the Jedi weren't on his side and didn't care about helping his loved ones, then I wouldn't blame him. I'd blame him for everything he did after that as Darth Vader, but I don't blame him one bit for becoming increasingly frustrated with the Jedi Order. The Jedi seemed to be a force for good in the OT, but the PT made them so unlikable that I was glad when Order 66 wiped almost all of them out. So no, after the prequels, Star Wars stopped being "These people are pure good, and these people are pure evil, and none of the good guys will ever do anything questionable." The so-called good guys did a TON that was questionable when you think about it.
You guys are all focusing on that one detail when they're obviously going to explain it away the rest of the show is just fucking terrible every aspect of it sucks balls but you're so focused on Mondays one line😂😂
lol amen to that. I’m team Jedi all the way. I was rooting for Asha so hard when she said she wanted to be a Jedi because she knew that sketchy witchy stuff was satanic and evil.😂
what we learned in episode 5: - lightsaber slice to the chest = you're dead, to the leg = "walk it off soldier" - want to defeat the Sith, all you need is a swarm of bugs - if you need to go undercover in the Star Wars realm all you need is a quick saber haircut or a long shawl to cover half your body
It's funny how the High Republic setting was supposed to be the golden woke era of Disney's SW, but in the end they still make stories of wokes being marginalized in the form of Sith, and Jedi being corrupt in the form of cops. They fetishize their own oppresion, allergic to the idea of being the new status quo because then they wouldn't be able to label themselves as revolutionaries.
🤣🤣🤣 It's funny how some people have to resort to using their political views and pretend that they have special powers to read the minds of the show's creators as their reason why they think the show is bad. They need to stop fantasizing of being in the Star Wars universe and snap back into reality.
Don’t know why , but I’m guessing the Jedi were the ones that started the fire and not Mae and that’s why Mae wanted revenge, would also explain why master Torbin drank the poison, out of guilt
This show continues to highlight the intellectual vacuum of KK, Filoni amd Headland. It is hard to believe that this is a real show. Ignore the canon and fandom, this show is just utter trash. I can only think that someone has mountains of blackmail "dirt" on others to get this garbage approved. Even using $100 notes as toilet paper would be money better spent rather than waste $180 million this way.
Heres the funny part, Smiloren doesn't refer to himself as a Sith, rather he states that they would call him a Sith, implying the Jedi refer to any force user who doesn't fillow their teaching as Sith. So now the Jedi are essentially bigoted ists/phobes because they would call another force user a Sith when they're not subscribed to the jedi ways, not because hes killing people and has a red lightsaber.
Wait, I thought Mae was going to give herself up to the Jedi anyways? How did he kill the Wookie before Mae got there as well? This writing is absolute trash. The sith dude is one minute clumsy then smashes everyone...except the bugs
Don’t forget the bugs carried him away… after osha stopped sol from killing him. He just massacred all those Jedi and because osha said so, he gets to live just for her to put a light on him to attract bugs that could kill him… I don’t get it bro
@@youngog9150 From what I have seen, Sol kind of got l angry that he killed that padawan. So from what I can tell he fought with anger/hatred at that scene, which is something only one from the dark side does. Osha shouting out made him snap out of it and made he realize that darkness is growing in him so he turned back to the light and didn't proceed by killing him. That's what I read while watching it for the first time
@@heuzame6198 so do they want the sith dead or not? Even after cutting down their forces they still think they can capture this guy? I thought Jedi only took out their weapons to kill? And then why did osha put the light on him to attract the same bugs that tried to kill her an ep earlier? The only reason osha stopped Sol is plot progression… I liked some of the fight scenes but the plot holes can’t be overlooked
@@youngog9150 the sith should either die in combat (armed) or be captured. When Dooku got his hands cut off, Anakin stated he's unarmed now, so he should live only to do it anyway because palpy wants to. Now Osha isn't a jedi anymore but a civilian, so she technically doesn't have this rule to follow even if she's force sensitive. Also, if Sol killed him in this state, he would have done it out of grief-driven vengeance, which also is against the Jedi teachings.
The moths are because the writers can’t be bothered to make a cohesive plot but they can easily rely on some random animal coming out of no where to distract the enemy and allow the good guys to recoup.
They needed the moths b/c they can’t have a rational agent actually intervene to save the day and so something good. Why not? Because they can’t have ‘good guys’ or ‘bad guys’, so animals are a nice neutral factor. This is the stupidity we get when you introduce moral ambiguity into Star Wars.
Which makes no sense because Force users are able to mind trick animals. It is easier to mind trick animals than to mind trick sapient beings, so even a flock of animals shouldn´t be a problem.
Lucas: "Jedi are good because they are compassionate and selfless... Sith are evil because they are purely selfish" Acolyte: "Like Lucas established, the Jedi are corrupt, child-snatching, over-bearing, police-of-the-universe, pious religious leaders. Kiss their ring lest they be angry 👑 ..." 🤦♂️
It's like a knee-jerk teenage rebellion reflex for the showrunners... Because the Jedi were the Old Republic's diplomats/peacekeeping corps, hence part of the "government" so to speak, that makes the Jedi part of "the Establishment". And everyone who is part of "the Establishment" is automatically evil in this simplex worldview. Nevermind that the whole point of the prequels trilogy was that the Republic was undermined by the _real_ corrupt evil people to become the Empire controlled by Sith Lord Palpatine. Or that the rebels in the original trilogy and sequels were rebelling against first the fascist Empire and then its regrouped successor the First Order to _restore_ the law-abiding Republic where people had rights. Nope. These people only think in labels (as much as they protest that they don't label people or aren't racists when they hate "white" people for being born "white"), so _any_ political structure that is in place at any given point in time become evil simply for being the government.
The Jedi in the prequels were dogmatic and inflexible, Qui Gon defies them multiple times because he thinks they’ve lost focus. The whole reason Anakin was forced to turn to Palpatine was because the Jedi were so inflexible that if he revealed what was actually going on with them they would’ve cast him out rather than help him. They also refused to let him go back and free his mother all because ‘attachments’ are wrong. This is all stuff Lucas wrote. The Jedi Order went into decline in the prequel era. They weren’t the noble, compassionate figures Lucas intended true Jedi to be. They were political pawns used by the Senate and too dogmatic and rigid to see otherwise. This is nothing new.
@@scottishjedi1522 Yeah the Jedi have been portrayed as rather immoral Quite a few times DAMN YOU ATRIS But the key is to make it "Yeah, the Jedi Order can be flawed, but conceptually, they are good, and sith will always be worse"
Ok, hold up! I'll totally agree that the Acolyte's story is TOTAL CRAP... and it DOES make me pretty angry that these writers are being paid thousands or a few million to write such terrible stuff by Disney.... However.. what makes this worse is that DISNEY THEMSELVES were the ones who were deciding to 'dumb down' both the Jedi and the Sith into 'Good versus Evil'. When they both originally were suppose to 'balance' the force. ...As humans though we have already proved Humans only perform 'Evil' deeds if we believe we are sacrificing ourselves for a 'Greater Good' (Pre-emptive Acts), the other party deserves it due to their previous actions (Vengeance/Revenge), if we believe we need something more than another to survive (Theft) , OR if that person is mentally insane (Sociopath/Psychopath)... We can't of course use this logic when describing the Alien Races in the Star Wars universe, but we can say this for our Real life Humans that we all don't willing just 'be evil' unless their are other factors involved. ...With this said that means we are all 'Morally Ambiguous' , but at the same time SHOULD be judged and dealt with for previous actions. What makes this all WORSE is that Disney has just retconned Both what they have claimed to be cannon already and they retconned what they've done to the Jedi and Sith in the first place after taking over the IP. ...Making The Acolyte EVEN WORSE writing than normal in this case! LOL!
This episode was a 5/10, the fight scenes were very entertaining to watch and welldone, the story on the other hand and dialogue was awful. people that are saying this episode is just as bad as the previous ones are just haters and bias, this episode is superior then the previous 4, it still isnt a good episode but the fights alone are worth watching it.
Not true. Ep3 was an absolute garbage. Ep 4 and 5 are just incredibly bad and soulless, something you want to curse yourself if you wasted precious time of your life on it. But Ep3 is where you want to just kill someone for participating in that abomination.
@BobSagget-bh6xu yes many saw that coming but it doesn't take away from the actor's good performance and the cool fights in this episode. Also, some didn't know, many thought it was one of the witches. It was either Smilo or one of the witches according to what many were saying online. Then it got leaked it was Smilo prior to the episode.
Where is the Jedi counsel? How are they hiding from the counsel the fact that multiple Jedi Knights, Masters and now Padawans have been aced? Yoda and Mace Windu could both feel when Anakin killed the Sand People and that was light years away. Yoda could feel when Jedi started dying during order 66. Obi Wan could feel the destruction of Alderaan. Luke could feel & sense Vader's presence from a different ship. Not only that but wouldn't folks attached to these now ghosted Jedi be asking, "Where is everybody?"
I think this episode had the best live action lightsaber fight in the Disney Era (it only took them 12 years to get that right lol), but anything besides that was just as bad as the last episodes, especially the dialogue
It's not even good to me. The people playing the parts are not athletic enough to move with the force and intention an actual duelist would use. I see kids in dress up making big, long, slow movements when I watch it. It was better than the throne room duel with Rey for sure, but I would rather rewatch the Sith fight from the prequels, that dude actually looked like he knew how to use a weapon and fight.
Typical Dissney Star Wars checklist: - lightsabers are not deadly ✅ - a random padawan can go toe to toe with a Jedi killer✅ - good is evil, evil is good ✅ - whamen can do nothing wrong ✅ Bonus: - Sith can´t use mind trick to control some animals because the script says so
The jedi being flawed is a fine conept to explore, they did so in the prequels. The difference being that they at least had good intentions but bad execution. That's fine because their heart was still in the right place. The new stuff called them evil. Evil no, flawed yes. There's a difference. And that difference is intention, a concept the new stuff doesn't understand Edit: typos
Woke culture suppresses the dialogue on race we need to be having. It needs to be an honest dialogue, where there are no taboos against the expression of facts and opinions. Woke culture is popular for two reasons. First, the people who own and run the United States are promoting woke culture to distract attention from the growing income gap. Whites who feel guilty about being white are less likely to be angry about stagnant or declining incomes, as the rich keep getting richer. Woke culture costs the rich nothing. The fact that economic elites are woke makes agreeing with them a kind of status symbol. Second, woke culture has become a substitute for lost religious faith.
I don’t get the motivations of the characters. May wants to surrender herself to the Jedi at the end of lasts episode but when Jackie, tries to arrest her, she fights back. Why does she attack the Jedi, that try to save her from her master?
2:53 luke joined the rebellion not the jedi order major plot points of AOTC and ROTS were anakin having to deal with the death of his mother and him having to conceal his relationship with padme that were caused by the jedi being too restrictive and dogmatic, leading to anakin’s betrayal and the fall of the jedi this is also ignoring that ANH had a anti vietnam war message that shown the morally right and large policing politcal power(totally not the US) as evil and corrupt the choreography in the show is cool tho
OSHA wants what every woman wants....for the man to decide which restaurant their going to eat. The reason why this show has no direction......wait for it..........Women.
Making "good guys" morally ambiguous means there is no right, there is no wrong, only power. There can be no argument from morality when morality is devolved into acts of power.
It's strange how so many of the negative reviewers look alike. Any time Disney cast a beautiful African American in any roll. Well we see how they are treated. SHAME ON YOU. YEA SO THEY COST CUT A LITTLE.
I've been waiting for this one! So Mae went from: "I'm gonna kill my sister and the Jedi!" Then (out of no where) to: "My loyalties lie with my sister! I'm gonna turn myself in!" Then (out of no where again) to: "I'm gonna betray my sister again, steal her clothes, and leave her to rot on this jungle planet only to be kidnaped by the Sith dude." Also, Sol(or however you spell his name, I don't give a flying shit enough to check) should have naturally sensed that it was Mae in disguise, and not Osha. And if Mae goes on to be around other Jedi whilst in disguise, and she STILL doesn't get sensed, that's gonna piss people off and I can't wait for it haha! Ok, credit where credit is due: the fighting was pretty good. Jeke put up the best fight. Her and Yord's death was brutal. I found it funny that Sith dude stabbed Jeke 3 times like as if he watched other Disney Star Wars trash and wanted to make damn sure that Jeke wouldn't survive. But like a few minutes in and the Sith dude is.....breaking Light Saber blades?? With his arm and helmet??? UuuUuuMMmmM W U T???? I mean, I can see it being deflected if its made of Beskar, but totally breaking the saber beam?? Oh ya, the Sith using Force Heal is complete dog shit. Force Heal is only useable by Light Side users or REALLY POWERFUL Dark Side users, not just any sith person can use it. Disney is just using the Force Heal to explain how Rey was able to use it like, "See everyone, Force Heal is a thing!" But soooo what's the plan now? I feel like the story should have ended here. There were plenty of opportunities for the Sith dude to die. Kill him, Sol lives on to cover up the "Sith" appearance, Mae is captured and put in prison, Osha is released and goes on about her life. End of story. That should've been the way it ended, but it didn't so what do now? Is Mae really gonna try to infiltrate Corascant or something? There's no way. Is Sith dude gonna take Osha as her apprentice? Is Osha gonna turn to the Dark Side? What the fuck is going on?? This series' sole purpose is to make the Jedi look as dumb, immoral, and as incompetent as humanly possible.
1. Mae never wanted to kill her sister she thought she was dead. when she found out she was alive she abandoned her goal to be with her sister again when her sister said she sided with the Jedi Mae abandoned her because she thought she would be on her side. 2. remember sol just watched 7 people get slaughtered he’s not in the best state of mind 3. The material on the sith arm has been shown in comics before so it’s not new or anything
@@acolyte8106 The material in question is called cortosis, it's rare as hell in both versions of Star Wars (literally only found out around the Unknown Regions), and what we saw for both the helmet and vambrace/bracer is exactly how lightsabers react to it. The fact Sithie boy only has the one bracer & helmet shows they might know the stuff's hard to come by and the cost of making an entire suit of armor of the stuff could buy someone an entire planet. I'm saying _might_ here because unless in the next couple episodes they explain what it actually is, the casual [read: tv/movie fans] are going to be very confused by what it is and write it off as 'bs plot armor'. Cool to see it in live-action though.
The cast is shit, the lore is inaccurate, but surprisingly (I think it is because of how low expectations I had with this series) I’m more interested in this series of the rest. Obiwan and ahsoka(besides the fan service) had so much potencial and were so horseshit that anything new, I’m accepting. Sorry for my lame English.
@@briandoty769 Bracer on the forearm. And before you ask why he didn't have it covering his entire arm: because Cortosis even in Disney canon is rare as hell, ludicrously expensive, and an absolute _bastard_ to forge into a wearable armor without weaving it into another material. ...Which just makes Qimir using the cortosis helmet the way he did all the more idiotic because he gave the game away on that life-saving piece of equipment and now it's absolutely useless... Or should be. Knowing the writers they might have a scene of him reforging/repairing the damn thing, completely invalidating the whole 'it's rare as hell' part of their own canon. Hell, they might not even say its cortosis.
I mean, the entire prequel trilogy, especially revenge of the sith, was about the grey morality of the jedi. Their hubris blinded them from being able to sense a sith lord, and suppressing human emotion like love and passion and fear. Anakin was having completely natural emotions about keeping padme secret and hidden, his mom being killed by the sand-people, being scared about padme dying in childbirth, but not being able to talk about to anyone would drive anyone insane. Granted you could argue that Palpatine saw this and pounced on the vulnerability, but he didn't shun anakin for having those feelings, in fact he embraced them and told him, "hey, its ok to have those feelings, i can help you channel them into being super powerful and you'll be able to save padme in the process". As they kinda started out as "kids movies", its easy to mark them as a jedi good, sith evil, but that's not the case if you have any remote critical thinking skills. The jedi are thought to be good because they're the "protectors of the peace, not soldiers", but are so short sighted in their own beliefs that THEY'RE the good guys that they can't see that a person they're talking to and working with for over a decade would be a sith lord. And that they're ostensibly supposed to be duty bound monks with a vow of celibacy is just insane. Anakin was shunned the moment he got there, and never got any amount of support from Obi-wan, and the second he got any type of empathy from someone, he's apparently an "evil guy"?!?!? He never wanted to rule the galaxy with Sidius, which in itself isn't inherently evil. He just wanted to love Padme and save her from dying in childbirth. It was only when he saved Palpatine and killed Mace that he "turned" out of necessity. A galactic empire isn't by definition evil; millions of jobs created, peace among the planets, actual law and order, bustling economy, etc. The only thing we know is that the rebels are trying to kill everyone "evil" out of some weird sense of responsibility and righteousness. As for the show, yeah, its absolutely horrible. But not for it shining a light on the jedi-good, sith-evil thing and making it a grey area, because it's been there from the start. Luke's entire arc in ESB and ROTJ was that he sensed there was still good in Vader and he needed to try to turn him back.
While I too despise this show, I actually disagree with the point that jedis are just good and sith are always evil. Even in the original star wars films for example, it is clear that anakin skywalker isn't purely evil from the start. Also count dooku is also not that evil and corrupted. So a show like the acolyte could actually show that the lines between good and bad aren't always that clear. This could've been an interesting concept. You can also see how that worked in Andor - a brilliant show - that demonstrated that rebels aren't always heros and staff from the empire aren't always evil too.
He was not beaten by the moths; I am not sure what you were watching. The show was an improvement from the last 4 episodes, but it still is lacking. But it certainly was not the worst.
Unfortunately the yt community around star wars is dominated by these hysterical dudes who make a living from hating like there is no tomorrow. As you said it, this episode had its strengths and sadly again fumbled hard, esp in the second half, but thus „review“ is just blind rage
Based on the track record so far, I would be quite confident to make the following assessment - 1. If the big bad sith was a white guy, then the sith was truly evil 2. if the big bad sith was a POC, then he is a misunderstood man Since he is Asian, I would be confident in saying that Disney will try to sell the second narrative by the end of the season.
This episode was what the Acolyte series should have been. Super dark episode. IMO I enjoyed it a lot. However, that third episode and bad writing overall still holds the show back.
You are allowed to enjoy stuff that is shit, you just have to be honest, it's like enjoying a greasy fat burger, go wild,you do you, just don't pretend that somehow your subjective perspective translates into objective reality...
@@champagnestupernova7428 You're genuinely delusional if you think episode 3 wasn't the absolute worst one and that this episode is worse, like come on it was AWFUL
I get having a decent amount of respect for the source material but the fans? No. I was born in 1984. If one thing is true in all my years of geekdom it’s that the majority of the Star Wars fanbase are toxic and cynical in ways that not only contradicts themselves but can also cause my head to hurt more than getting reverse cowgirled by a Hutt.
I can tell this person was never a star wars fan because they got so much wrong about the lore. Look up cortosis So you fix is to do exactly what they did in the episode. What. Again you want them to do exactly what the show is doing. She want her family back. She wanted revenge for her family and now she know her sister is alive. Don't want a relationship with her sister? Did you miss the whole hug where she said she wants her sister back. What recon. This video is just bad.
If you slow down the clips, you will see the “sith” block and disable lightsabers with his BARE ARM! Once in the multi-Jedi fight, he blocks the blue with his arm and disables it, following that up with a headbutt (!) blocking and disabling the yellow one. He then repeats that same tactic to defeat Yord - bare arm block. When did disabling lightsabers become a thing?! Um…Lightsabers = 20,000 degree F plasma. Just saying. 47 years ago I saw Star Wars in theaters. WTF am I watching?
Cortosis has been a thing since 1991, which is a metal which disrupts and deactivates lightsabers, not saying this show is good but you can’t call this a Disney blunder when this was established Lucas era lore
As much as I hate the acolyte, I'll give them credit for that. The sith is most likely using a rare legends material known as Cortosis as his armour, which was able to deflect lightsabers like beskar and even disable them for a bit, but it's also a lot less durable than beskar
While I personally hate it, the creators of The Acolyte did not come up with this idea by themselves. In some of the Star Wars: Legends novels there is a metal called cortosis that has a special property of absorbing energy, resulting in being impervious to balster fire and even being able to disable lightsaber blades which hit it for a short time (by sucking up their energy or something like that). So yeah, it's stupid and I don't like it, but it is something that's pretty established in the expanded lore.
See, now I’m confused. What lore has Disney kept and what lore have they dumped? Help me make it make sense. (And I’ll own the fact that I see the bracer on his arm in a re-watch). Just feels “Holdo Maneuver” to me. IMO.
I don’t know what I hate more this show or the constant complaining about it. Most of the complaining is over really stupid shit! This show is bad but it has been absolutely nit picked to death to the point it’s getting really fucking annoying
The lines, the delivery, it's just terrible. I feel like the writers for The Acolyte are trying to make each line iconic; they want to find their "Do or Do not; there is no try," moment. The more Disney Star Wars fails the more I yearn for original canon Star Wars.
It’s bad because the writers,showrunners and actors are the real life sith. They are evil,and evil always thinks it’s right,they’ll never think what they think or do is wrong,there’s no self assessment of their bahiviour. They demand respect,they can’t see past their own opinions,and they identify with the sith,not the Jedi,because the sith are all about themselves. And the Jedi are selfless and do things for the greater good. So self obsessed showrunners and writers are not gonna identify with the Jedi as everything is about their power,their ideas,their view. Seriously this show sums up how morally awful the people in Hollywood are right now. The lot of them are basically the wicked queen from Snow White,looking in the mirror at themselves,but not asking who’s the fairest of them all,they just tell the mirror they are the fairest,as it doesn’t occur to them ever,they are just plain wrong. Sad times for entertainment. I’ll miss Star Wars but I’ll never watch an episode of anything Disney put out again.
Dude is so wrong. It's really doing a lot right. 1. Characters have mystique and story has mystery. 2. Jedi accurately depicted as child-abductors and anti-goth force cops. 3. Music tells the story like George intended. 4. Fun and interesting creatures and aliens (see: this episode, or jailbreak scene from previous). 5. MC isn't a low-class farmer 'mage born of muggles' youth from the desert. 6. The force is doing more than the usual crap we've seen 1 million times already. 7. Supporting characters look like aliens you might meet on StarTrek or something (you know, humans with prosthetics). 8. Combat in this show is actually interesting to watch. 9. Butthurt cishet men are spewing 1hr long tirades of what they don't like in the show and in women (comedy gold).
It’s made of cortosis, which is a material from some of the novels that predate Disney. It disrupts the energy of lightsabers, but is very brittle otherwise
Cortosis is a metal from legends it’s been in the lore for a while which makes me upset that they added that lore heavy detail but put Ki Adi Mundi 50 years before he was born in this show AS AN ESTABLISHED MASTER JEDI
Bro I don’t even like the show but saying “make the sith powerful by killing 80% of them” when he killed 7 of 8 Jedi, 87.5% of them…. Is acolyte level logic 😂
I guess in this parallel Star Wars universe, master Jedi can get killed by a throwing knife and Sith can get taken out by birds. I wonder what kind of s--t Disney will think of next.
Within the logic of the writers, i truly don't understand why they seem to have no clue what personality Mae should have. Ep 1 hated Jedi and wanted them dead, even seemed to take pleasure from knowing she killed 1. Ep 2 suddenly has the whole "kill them without weapons" so now she has a tragic backstory. Ep 3 just shows her as a lunatic even as a kid who tried to murder her sister. Ep 4 takes a massive turn and she's suddenly good and wants to turn herself in because "her loyalty is to Osha". Now in Ep 5, she's back to evil and wants to infiltrate the Jedi.......for some reason, instead of staying with the sister she just said she was loyal to. They legitimately have zero clue what they're doing.
It happens with "plot-driven writing", when writers just string scene together and then make the protagonists act in whatever way is required to make the "cool scene" the writers envisioned happen.
The beginning of the episode made me feel like the director of this episode (who is not Leslye Headland) was trying to undo the work of the director who did the fourth episode and then I realise it's the same director. Also, in case no one has noticed this but Smilo Ren is so overpowered, most of the things he does only gets used once which reminded me of a movie known as the "Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness". Having a villian who is also overpowered and only uses most of her powers once (Scarlett Witch). Disney does not give this crap writing style up. I understand this show is annoying you like there's no tomorrow which I don't think there is a tomorrow so long as this show exists. Love your videos though. Thank you so much for the sacrifise you've put in for us. You deserve millions of subscribers. Also, be careful about what you say about the animals, you might also be called a toxic fan for saying anything about animals. Plants are next 🤣, then food 🤣.
I never thought I would ever have cause to type these words... but don't disrespect Steven Seagal's acting like that. I know he is meme-ably bad, but he isn't The Acolyte bad.
I mean it was corny. Jedi’s are super weak at this point and time I guess. But the show is still not as bad as Bubba and Obi. That’s the worst Star Wars I’ve ever seen. This is top 3 tho.
4:15 Besides the trashy episode you are wrong at this point. Just look into Revan. Star Wars is not just good vs. evil. This franchise stepped into multiple layers of moral long ago.
I don't agree with you on this episode. It was the best episode of the series so far. However, it was far from a great episode. First the positives. Some excellent use of the force and lightsaber fighting was excellent. Also I like this idea they are developing of Master Sol having some darkness. Negatives: It broke one of my absolute laws. "Don't save someone just to kill them off later" Saving Yord in the the first battle just to kill him later. I also did have issue with his amazing recovery to some extent as the force is able to help people who are wounded. I'm not sure you have ever read any books when they actually describe someone fighting through an injury. The other biggetst issue I had was Mae going back and forth and then the switcheroo. (Didn't mae have a rather obvious scar on her forehead.)
To be honest Star Wars was never my favorite scifi story, and in my opinion is not even the best, but the characters where really engaging, the lore was interesting and the music was simply amazing. Now we have modern SW, with one character more lame than the other, a lore that keeps changing for the worse every day and probably one of the winniest songs ever made as the face of this new show.
@@n4ughty_knightstar wars was a space opera.. at this point. Its just a bad franchise that only has good things from its more older original works. N even then. They werent all that amazing completly. Storm troopers losing to teddy bears shows even the originals are not really prefect ... The last good thing dtar wars was SW ToR republic n that launched with a miriad of problems. But over all turned out to be pretty great story wise.
Just because you hate the Acolyte it is not honest to call the fight scenes lackluster. Whoever is doing the choreo clearly knows what he is doing I think even Drinker said as much. The problem is that the writing is so abysmal and not on the same level. I still think Kung-fu style fights do not go well together with the Jedi but the fight scenes are excellently choerographed you have to give them that.
Read up on Cluster-B personality disorders and the so-called Dark Triad, that'll clear things up for you. Doesn't take all that long, either, but is infinitely more rewarding, interesing, and worthwhile than wasting your life on depraved garbage like Disney Sh1t Wars.
@@noneyabizz8337 exactly, they are more concerned with social programming than making actual entertainment products, it's plainly sinister, they are banking on your kids getting subliminally programmed on this mind-poison
These are just characters nobody actually gives a crap about. Nothing seems to be tied to the actual Star Wars movies or lore or any previous characters. Just a bunch of Asian and black gay Sorcerers with glow sticks.
Cortosis is a material that is lightsaber resistant and causes them to short circuit for a few seconds. It pre-dates the house of mouse so I’m surprised the writer brought that in but couldn’t come up with a cohesive plot
#4 Fix: KNOW that Jedi can read thoughts and Master Sol would know INSTANTLY that Osha was actually Mae Also, Smilo Ren can whip 6 Jedi PLUS a padawan, but a few minutes later, that same padawan can go toe-to -toe with Smilo and even knock his lightsaber-proof helmet off with a glass-shattering sound from her elbow. Then get killed by a lightsaber dagger

Of the video about "The Boys" returning for a fifth season; I just watched and very much enjoyed; however, when I went to make a comment praising the video,( as The Boys, was one of my favorite, series ) I wasn't able to leave a comment.

Since Jedi don't have a purpose then this show's only purpose is to destroy star wars.
Ahahahah exactly
The "lore" kinda explains that the Jedi are too lenient and busy with bureaucracy to actually be in touch with the Force.
So Sad Disney destroys everything!
Start wars has been destroyed for me forever. And i own the Christmas special on vhs!
Did you watch the Prequels at all? Qui-Gon Jinn’s whole deal was that he thought the Jedi had lost sight of their true goal. Dooku left the order because he was sick of the Jedi being political puppets.
The Jedi Order by this point is in a state of decline, going from an order of galactic peacekeepers to tools of the Senate constricted by politics.
The Jedi eventually lose touch with the force. It’s something Mace Windu says in Episode III. Yoda talks about being the force being ‘clouded’.
This was something Lucas came up with 25 years ago.
All they’re doing here is going along with that idea of the Jedi being in decline.
"The jedi are evil,The sith are good, Anakin blew up the death star R2D2 is a lesbian,C-3P0 is gay,The force is a thread, weird lesbian space witches can now make kids,and now Sith lords,the most powerful beings in the galaxy,that can wipe out multiple Jedi,can now be defeated by a flashlight and bugs

At every single level

They’re basically saying doing bad things is good n good is evil

It is nothing new. They have already tried to shoehorn Bo-Karen as a her-o since TCW and Rebels. And it keeps not working because you can´t pretend evil is good.

this is probably the best episode but the bar is below rock bottom, and this episode is just rock bottom
It's a pretty frustrating one. The first 10 mins, I actually thought they do ok. Then it is a complete disaster. The writer can't write shit. They should consult chatgpt before writing anything. Well, they shouldn't write anything. Especially for Disney.
Ep5 certainly doesnt do the series any favours, like, theres nothing redeeming about it, so in a way, yeah, it kinda is the worst episode yet.. ep5 solidifies that this show is not ever going to get better..
Exactly. The overall story has writing problems no doubt, but the fights were good in this episode and so was the actor that played the Sith, he did a good job. The bug thing is a nitpick in my opinion, but everyone is entitled to their opinions.
One liners are like icing sugar on a cake. Disney have removed the cake and expect everyone to either eat or snort the icing sugar.
Mae: "The Sith are good. The Jedi are evil."
Osha: "If the Sith are so good, then WHY haven't you apologized for trying to kill me, and setting our stone home on fire?"

When I look at these episodes and their length, at the end it turns out that the entire series is about 3 hours long, which is as long as a movie. And we are supposed to believe that 180 million was spents on these 3-hour film made into a series? Where is the money, why does Coruscant's skyline look worse than in the prequels?

Money laundering
Okay, so while I don't think I'd enjoy this show I haven't liked the Jedi since the prequels. The prequels made it so that, to me, it wasn't as simple as good vs. evil since and I'll tell you why. To start with, the Jedi take kids from their parents and literally never let the parents and children see one another ever again. This is not the kind of thing that "good" people do, not even if the parents consent for some insane reason which no RL parent would ever do. Anakin was certainly too young to consent to anything at all.
In Anakin's case, they conveniently were only able to take him away from Tatooine and not his mother. And even though he missed his mother for like TEN YEARS, the Jedi never lifted a finger to help her no matter how much he asked them to, never let him visit her, never did anything until the Tuskens kidnapped her. One could easily argue that if Anakin hadn't seen his mother succumb to whatever it was they did to her, then he might not have gone down the dark path. Do "good" people keep children from checking up on their family, even when those children have good reason to believe that their family member is in danger, which was an accurate feeling on Anakin's part?
Moreover, Jedi say that you can't fall in love. That, they say, leads to the dark side. Imagine if IRL you grew up and you were forbidden to ever so much as kiss anybody or go on a date. Is that fair? Is that what "good" people do? In EU/Legends Luke Skywalker got married and had a son, and neither he nor his wife nor his son ever turned to the dark side because of that. "Good guys" do not forbid people from what should be the right of every human being: to fall in love and to have relationships. Lucas should have never written that part. It's really cruel to say that a nine year old kid who didn't even know what exactly he was signing up for when he joined the Jedi Order should never, ever go on a date for the rest of his life, or get married when he's old enough, or anything. How can it be "good" to deprive somebody of those experiences?
The way the duel between Obi-Wan and Anakin ended, with Anakin getting quadruple-amputated and burning alive, and Obi-Wan not finishing him off or taking him into custody, instead just berating him about how he was supposed to be the chosen one. "Good guys" do not engage in that kind of cruelty, even to the bad guys. Yes, I know what Anakin did before the duel happened was sickening and criminal, but that's beside the point, because nobody deserves to be set on fire. If anybody does get set on fire and you don't put them out of their misery, then you're every bit as cruel as the people who did the Salem witch trials and tied women to stakes.
Finally, Anakin had a vision of his wife not surviving childbirth, and he went to Yoda to see if there was anything he could do about it, and what did Yoda do? Yoda didn't offer to try and save Padme. Yoda didn't even say anything like "Sad, this is. Feel for you, I do. Wish I could prevent it, I do, but not even a Jedi Master all-powerful is. Nothing lasts forever, Anakin. Difficult it is to accept, but all of us lose people. Advise you I do to cherish your time with the one you care about; as with all things, end it will someday. Here we are for you, Anakin, in your darkest moments. Help you we will, as much as we can."
No, you know what Yoda said to Anakin? Yoda told him that he ought to be HAPPY that he would lose his wife. Because she'd be one with the Force or whatever. Imagine, just imagine, that in the real world you tell your longtime teacher that you're afraid you'll lose your wife and he tells you to be HAPPY about it. How would you react? If that was the straw that broke the camel's back, if that made Anakin decide after all those years that the Jedi weren't on his side and didn't care about helping his loved ones, then I wouldn't blame him. I'd blame him for everything he did after that as Darth Vader, but I don't blame him one bit for becoming increasingly frustrated with the Jedi Order.
The Jedi seemed to be a force for good in the OT, but the PT made them so unlikable that I was glad when Order 66 wiped almost all of them out. So no, after the prequels, Star Wars stopped being "These people are pure good, and these people are pure evil, and none of the good guys will ever do anything questionable." The so-called good guys did a TON that was questionable when you think about it.
A Sith master kills multiple Jedi, and the Jedi know this. 100 years later: "The Sith have been extinct for a millennium". :D
You guys are all focusing on that one detail when they're obviously going to explain it away the rest of the show is just fucking terrible every aspect of it sucks balls but you're so focused on Mondays one line😂😂

@@n4ughty_knight Given how bad the writing is and who is writing it, I wouldn't be surprised if you're right or the answer is much dumber.
It's funny how the writers for The Acolyte and Satan both have the same line of logic when it comes to the concepts of good and evil.
lol amen to that. I’m team Jedi all the way. I was rooting for Asha so hard when she said she wanted to be a Jedi because she knew that sketchy witchy stuff was satanic and evil.😂
Don't forget God. In the Bible, he was shown to have done and/or demanded acts that were really evil.
what we learned in episode 5:
- lightsaber slice to the chest = you're dead, to the leg = "walk it off soldier"
- want to defeat the Sith, all you need is a swarm of bugs
- if you need to go undercover in the Star Wars realm all you need is a quick saber haircut or a long shawl to cover half your body
OSHA WAS FORCED TO DO THIS SHES NOT REGULAR JEDI AND SHE DOESNT NEED AN INTENTION
It's funny how the High Republic setting was supposed to be the golden woke era of Disney's SW, but in the end they still make stories of wokes being marginalized in the form of Sith, and Jedi being corrupt in the form of cops. They fetishize their own oppresion, allergic to the idea of being the new status quo because then they wouldn't be able to label themselves as revolutionaries.
🤣🤣🤣 It's funny how some people have to resort to using their political views and pretend that they have special powers to read the minds of the show's creators as their reason why they think the show is bad. They need to stop fantasizing of being in the Star Wars universe and snap back into reality.
Don’t know why , but I’m guessing the Jedi were the ones that started the fire and not Mae and that’s why Mae wanted revenge, would also explain why master Torbin drank the poison, out of guilt
This show continues to highlight the intellectual vacuum of KK, Filoni amd Headland. It is hard to believe that this is a real show. Ignore the canon and fandom, this show is just utter trash. I can only think that someone has mountains of blackmail "dirt" on others to get this garbage approved. Even using $100 notes as toilet paper would be money better spent rather than waste $180 million this way.
Can you give an example of the show ignoring the already established canon.
Heres the funny part, Smiloren doesn't refer to himself as a Sith, rather he states that they would call him a Sith, implying the Jedi refer to any force user who doesn't fillow their teaching as Sith. So now the Jedi are essentially bigoted ists/phobes because they would call another force user a Sith when they're not subscribed to the jedi ways, not because hes killing people and has a red lightsaber.
People are theorizing he might actually be the first leader of the knights of ren
Wait, I thought Mae was going to give herself up to the Jedi anyways? How did he kill the Wookie before Mae got there as well? This writing is absolute trash. The sith dude is one minute clumsy then smashes everyone...except the bugs
Don’t forget the bugs carried him away… after osha stopped sol from killing him. He just massacred all those Jedi and because osha said so, he gets to live just for her to put a light on him to attract bugs that could kill him… I don’t get it bro
@@youngog9150 From what I have seen, Sol kind of got l angry that he killed that padawan. So from what I can tell he fought with anger/hatred at that scene, which is something only one from the dark side does. Osha shouting out made him snap out of it and made he realize that darkness is growing in him so he turned back to the light and didn't proceed by killing him.
That's what I read while watching it for the first time
@@heuzame6198 so do they want the sith dead or not? Even after cutting down their forces they still think they can capture this guy? I thought Jedi only took out their weapons to kill? And then why did osha put the light on him to attract the same bugs that tried to kill her an ep earlier? The only reason osha stopped Sol is plot progression… I liked some of the fight scenes but the plot holes can’t be overlooked
@@youngog9150 the sith should either die in combat (armed) or be captured. When Dooku got his hands cut off, Anakin stated he's unarmed now, so he should live only to do it anyway because palpy wants to. Now Osha isn't a jedi anymore but a civilian, so she technically doesn't have this rule to follow even if she's force sensitive. Also, if Sol killed him in this state, he would have done it out of grief-driven vengeance, which also is against the Jedi teachings.
@@heuzame6198 we’ll see where it goes but I think that ep was supposed to be the highlight so idk how much better it gets
The moths are because the writers can’t be bothered to make a cohesive plot but they can easily rely on some random animal coming out of no where to distract the enemy and allow the good guys to recoup.
They needed the moths b/c they can’t have a rational agent actually intervene to save the day and so something good. Why not? Because they can’t have ‘good guys’ or ‘bad guys’, so animals are a nice neutral factor. This is the stupidity we get when you introduce moral ambiguity into Star Wars.
The moths getting attracted to light, but not getting attracted to the light from the lightsabers.
So just Deus Ex Machina, the most lame and hated plot device in history of writing
Which makes no sense because Force users are able to mind trick animals. It is easier to mind trick animals than to mind trick sapient beings, so even a flock of animals shouldn´t be a problem.
Lucas: "Jedi are good because they are compassionate and selfless... Sith are evil because they are purely selfish"
Acolyte: "Like Lucas established, the Jedi are corrupt, child-snatching, over-bearing, police-of-the-universe, pious religious leaders. Kiss their ring lest they be angry 👑 ..." 🤦♂️
😂😂 it’s honestly beyond stupid at this point
It's like a knee-jerk teenage rebellion reflex for the showrunners... Because the Jedi were the Old Republic's diplomats/peacekeeping corps, hence part of the "government" so to speak, that makes the Jedi part of "the Establishment". And everyone who is part of "the Establishment" is automatically evil in this simplex worldview.
Nevermind that the whole point of the prequels trilogy was that the Republic was undermined by the _real_ corrupt evil people to become the Empire controlled by Sith Lord Palpatine. Or that the rebels in the original trilogy and sequels were rebelling against first the fascist Empire and then its regrouped successor the First Order to _restore_ the law-abiding Republic where people had rights.
Nope. These people only think in labels (as much as they protest that they don't label people or aren't racists when they hate "white" people for being born "white"), so _any_ political structure that is in place at any given point in time become evil simply for being the government.
@@thejessegrant i think its good that theyr focusing on the sith point of view their just doing it the wrong way
The Jedi in the prequels were dogmatic and inflexible, Qui Gon defies them multiple times because he thinks they’ve lost focus.
The whole reason Anakin was forced to turn to Palpatine was because the Jedi were so inflexible that if he revealed what was actually going on with them they would’ve cast him out rather than help him.
They also refused to let him go back and free his mother all because ‘attachments’ are wrong.
This is all stuff Lucas wrote. The Jedi Order went into decline in the prequel era. They weren’t the noble, compassionate figures Lucas intended true Jedi to be. They were political pawns used by the Senate and too dogmatic and rigid to see otherwise.
This is nothing new.
@@scottishjedi1522 Yeah the Jedi have been portrayed as rather

Ok, hold up! I'll totally agree that the Acolyte's story is TOTAL CRAP... and it DOES make me pretty angry that these writers are being paid thousands or a few million to write such terrible stuff by Disney.... However.. what makes this worse is that DISNEY THEMSELVES were the ones who were deciding to 'dumb down' both the Jedi and the Sith into 'Good versus Evil'. When they both originally were suppose to 'balance' the force. ...As humans though we have already proved Humans only perform 'Evil' deeds if we believe we are sacrificing ourselves for a 'Greater Good' (Pre-emptive Acts), the other party deserves it due to their previous actions (Vengeance/Revenge), if we believe we need something more than another to survive (Theft) , OR if that person is mentally insane (Sociopath/Psychopath)... We can't of course use this logic when describing the Alien Races in the Star Wars universe, but we can say this for our Real life Humans that we all don't willing just 'be evil' unless their are other factors involved. ...With this said that means we are all 'Morally Ambiguous' , but at the same time SHOULD be judged and dealt with for previous actions.
What makes this all WORSE is that Disney has just retconned Both what they have claimed to be cannon already and they retconned what they've done to the Jedi and Sith in the first place after taking over the IP. ...Making The Acolyte EVEN WORSE writing than normal in this case! LOL!
I take back EVERYTHING bad I said about the holiday special.😅
This episode was a 5/10, the fight scenes were very entertaining to watch and welldone, the story on the other hand and dialogue was awful. people that are saying this episode is just as bad as the previous ones are just haters and bias, this episode is superior then the previous 4, it still isnt a good episode but the fights alone are worth watching it.
EVERY episode of The Acolyte is The Worst Episode YET.
How is this worse than the previous episodes?! lol
No objectivity…that’s how you spot a hater
Its a high bar to achive and yet they do it every episode;)
Not true. Ep3 was an absolute garbage. Ep 4 and 5 are just incredibly bad and soulless, something you want to curse yourself if you wasted precious time of your life on it. But Ep3 is where you want to just kill someone for participating in that abomination.
@BobSagget-bh6xu yes many saw that coming but it doesn't take away from the actor's good performance and the cool fights in this episode. Also, some didn't know, many thought it was one of the witches. It was either Smilo or one of the witches according to what many were saying online. Then it got leaked it was Smilo prior to the episode.
I haven’t seen it but I sure won’t take unhinged critics seriously in the least.
20,000 degrees would cook much of that leg even on a graze.
Nah, just walk it off. Same thing with being impaled by a lightsaber - just walk it off and you'll be fine.
Since we're made of carbon, and its melting point is 3,550 degrees Celsius, It would be more than enough to melt it.
it kinda reminds me a lot like anime, where a strike could break the ground but when it hits the person, they block it with ease and no damage at all.
B-But the midi-chlorians!!!
20,000 degrees would cause anything and anyone in the vicinity to melt or vaporize.
Yord comes swinging from behind and dies.
Question: What kind of Jedi Stance was that wide arm swing?
Where is the Jedi counsel? How are they hiding from the counsel the fact that multiple Jedi Knights, Masters and now Padawans have been aced? Yoda and Mace Windu could both feel when Anakin killed the Sand People and that was light years away. Yoda could feel when Jedi started dying during order 66. Obi Wan could feel the destruction of Alderaan. Luke could feel & sense Vader's presence from a different ship. Not only that but wouldn't folks attached to these now ghosted Jedi be asking, "Where is everybody?"
Glad I’m not the only one thinking about this 😮😊😂
I think this episode had the best live action lightsaber fight in the Disney Era (it only took them 12 years to get that right lol), but anything besides that was just as bad as the last episodes, especially the dialogue
Not even a good lightsaber duel will save this show...
I know right
Lightsaber duel fans at least get something. Space battle enjoyers didn't get anything for years now.
i think it was good (the lightsaber duel)
It's not even good to me. The people playing the parts are not athletic enough to move with the force and intention an actual duelist would use. I see kids in dress up making big, long, slow movements when I watch it. It was better than the throne room duel with Rey for sure, but I would rather rewatch the Sith fight from the prequels, that dude actually looked like he knew how to use a weapon and fight.
Seriously it was laughable
Lazy 90s tv show writing.... are we watching hercules? Xena the warrior princess? This is freaking STAR WARS....
Even lazy 90s tv show writing was more entertaining than modern tv shows today.
Typical Dissney Star Wars checklist:
- lightsabers are not deadly ✅
- a random padawan can go toe to toe with a Jedi killer✅
- good is evil, evil is good ✅
- whamen can do nothing wrong ✅
Bonus:
- Sith can´t use mind trick to control some animals because the script says so
lightsabers aren’t deadly but 80% of the jedi in the episode + 2 cast members end up dying to a lightsaber
sure
"a random Padawan can go toe to toe with a Jedi killer" I think you forgot episode one
The jedi being flawed is a fine conept to explore, they did so in the prequels. The difference being that they at least had good intentions but bad execution. That's fine because their heart was still in the right place. The new stuff called them evil. Evil no, flawed yes. There's a difference. And that difference is intention, a concept the new stuff doesn't understand
Edit: typos
WHY do all these writers, producers, and directors who HATE Star Wars write for , produce, and direct Star Wars?
Woke culture suppresses the dialogue on race we need to be having. It needs to be an honest dialogue, where there are no taboos against the expression of facts and opinions.
Woke culture is popular for two reasons.
First, the people who own and run the United States are promoting woke culture to distract attention from the growing income gap. Whites who feel guilty about being white are less likely to be angry about stagnant or declining incomes, as the rich keep getting richer. Woke culture costs the rich nothing. The fact that economic elites are woke makes agreeing with them a kind of status symbol.
Second, woke culture has become a substitute for lost religious faith.
I don’t get the motivations of the characters. May wants to surrender herself to the Jedi at the end of lasts episode but when Jackie, tries to arrest her, she fights back. Why does she attack the Jedi, that try to save her from her master?
2:53 luke joined the rebellion not the jedi order
major plot points of AOTC and ROTS were anakin having to deal with the death of his mother and him having to conceal his relationship with padme
that were caused by the jedi being too restrictive and dogmatic, leading to anakin’s betrayal and the fall of the jedi
this is also ignoring that ANH had a anti vietnam war message that shown the morally right and large policing politcal power(totally not the US) as evil and corrupt
the choreography in the show is cool tho
That ridiculous side head tilt that the “sith” does was just so cringe.
He held the pose for so long 😂
Yep, like he was Michael Myers admiring his kill 😂
Lol I just said the same thing. He's got rapper grills
What sith? Just see a generic bad guy nothing about him says sith, Disney fucking shit up
I cant stand that😂 its what bad film makers do when they have zero original ideas
OSHA wants what every woman wants....for the man to decide which restaurant their going to eat. The reason why this show has no direction......wait for it..........Women.
Making "good guys" morally ambiguous means there is no right, there is no wrong, only power. There can be no argument from morality when morality is devolved into acts of power.
It's strange how so many of the negative reviewers look alike. Any time Disney cast a beautiful African American in any roll. Well we see how they are treated. SHAME ON YOU. YEA SO THEY COST CUT A LITTLE.
I've been waiting for this one!
So Mae went from: "I'm gonna kill my sister and the Jedi!" Then (out of no where) to: "My loyalties lie with my sister! I'm gonna turn myself in!" Then (out of no where again) to: "I'm gonna betray my sister again, steal her clothes, and leave her to rot on this jungle planet only to be kidnaped by the Sith dude." Also, Sol(or however you spell his name, I don't give a flying shit enough to check) should have naturally sensed that it was Mae in disguise, and not Osha. And if Mae goes on to be around other Jedi whilst in disguise, and she STILL doesn't get sensed, that's gonna piss people off and I can't wait for it haha!
Ok, credit where credit is due: the fighting was pretty good. Jeke put up the best fight. Her and Yord's death was brutal. I found it funny that Sith dude stabbed Jeke 3 times like as if he watched other Disney Star Wars trash and wanted to make damn sure that Jeke wouldn't survive.
But like a few minutes in and the Sith dude is.....breaking Light Saber blades?? With his arm and helmet??? UuuUuuMMmmM W U T???? I mean, I can see it being deflected if its made of Beskar, but totally breaking the saber beam??
Oh ya, the Sith using Force Heal is complete dog shit. Force Heal is only useable by Light Side users or REALLY POWERFUL Dark Side users, not just any sith person can use it. Disney is just using the Force Heal to explain how Rey was able to use it like, "See everyone, Force Heal is a thing!"
But soooo what's the plan now? I feel like the story should have ended here. There were plenty of opportunities for the Sith dude to die. Kill him, Sol lives on to cover up the "Sith" appearance, Mae is captured and put in prison, Osha is released and goes on about her life. End of story. That should've been the way it ended, but it didn't so what do now? Is Mae really gonna try to infiltrate Corascant or something? There's no way. Is Sith dude gonna take Osha as her apprentice? Is Osha gonna turn to the Dark Side? What the fuck is going on??
This series' sole purpose is to make the Jedi look as dumb, immoral, and as incompetent as humanly possible.
Ahahahaha
They will ruin everything you value until we are all equally morally bankrupt.
1. Mae never wanted to kill her sister she thought she was dead. when she found out she was alive she abandoned her goal to be with her sister again when her sister said she sided with the Jedi Mae abandoned her because she thought she would be on her side.
2. remember sol just watched 7 people get slaughtered he’s not in the best state of mind
3. The material on the sith arm has been shown in comics before so it’s not new or anything
@@acolyte8106 The material in question is called cortosis, it's rare as hell in both versions of Star Wars (literally only found out around the Unknown Regions), and what we saw for both the helmet and vambrace/bracer is exactly how lightsabers react to it. The fact Sithie boy only has the one bracer & helmet shows they might know the stuff's hard to come by and the cost of making an entire suit of armor of the stuff could buy someone an entire planet. I'm saying _might_ here because unless in the next couple episodes they explain what it actually is, the casual [read: tv/movie fans] are going to be very confused by what it is and write it off as 'bs plot armor'.
Cool to see it in live-action though.
I dont understand how jecki did better than jedi masters that makes no sense.
The cast is shit, the lore is inaccurate, but surprisingly (I think it is because of how low expectations I had with this series) I’m more interested in this series of the rest. Obiwan and ahsoka(besides the fan service) had so much potencial and were so horseshit that anything new, I’m accepting. Sorry for my lame English.
Not even a lightsaber can penetrate plot armor.
@Thegoat000 His Arm?
@@briandoty769 he used it on his bracers lol
@@briandoty769 Bracer on the forearm. And before you ask why he didn't have it covering his entire arm: because Cortosis even in Disney canon is rare as hell, ludicrously expensive, and an absolute _bastard_ to forge into a wearable armor without weaving it into another material.
...Which just makes Qimir using the cortosis helmet the way he did all the more idiotic because he gave the game away on that life-saving piece of equipment and now it's absolutely useless...
Or should be. Knowing the writers they might have a scene of him reforging/repairing the damn thing, completely invalidating the whole 'it's rare as hell' part of their own canon. Hell, they might not even say its cortosis.
TRIPLE STAB SPECIAL
I mean, the entire prequel trilogy, especially revenge of the sith, was about the grey morality of the jedi. Their hubris blinded them from being able to sense a sith lord, and suppressing human emotion like love and passion and fear. Anakin was having completely natural emotions about keeping padme secret and hidden, his mom being killed by the sand-people, being scared about padme dying in childbirth, but not being able to talk about to anyone would drive anyone insane. Granted you could argue that Palpatine saw this and pounced on the vulnerability, but he didn't shun anakin for having those feelings, in fact he embraced them and told him, "hey, its ok to have those feelings, i can help you channel them into being super powerful and you'll be able to save padme in the process".
As they kinda started out as "kids movies", its easy to mark them as a jedi good, sith evil, but that's not the case if you have any remote critical thinking skills. The jedi are thought to be good because they're the "protectors of the peace, not soldiers", but are so short sighted in their own beliefs that THEY'RE the good guys that they can't see that a person they're talking to and working with for over a decade would be a sith lord. And that they're ostensibly supposed to be duty bound monks with a vow of celibacy is just insane. Anakin was shunned the moment he got there, and never got any amount of support from Obi-wan, and the second he got any type of empathy from someone, he's apparently an "evil guy"?!?!? He never wanted to rule the galaxy with Sidius, which in itself isn't inherently evil. He just wanted to love Padme and save her from dying in childbirth. It was only when he saved Palpatine and killed Mace that he "turned" out of necessity. A galactic empire isn't by definition evil; millions of jobs created, peace among the planets, actual law and order, bustling economy, etc. The only thing we know is that the rebels are trying to kill everyone "evil" out of some weird sense of responsibility and righteousness.
As for the show, yeah, its absolutely horrible. But not for it shining a light on the jedi-good, sith-evil thing and making it a grey area, because it's been there from the start. Luke's entire arc in ESB and ROTJ was that he sensed there was still good in Vader and he needed to try to turn him back.
Bad takes are bad
While I too despise this show, I actually disagree with the point that jedis are just good and sith are always evil. Even in the original star wars films for example, it is clear that anakin skywalker isn't purely evil from the start. Also count dooku is also not that evil and corrupted. So a show like the acolyte could actually show that the lines between good and bad aren't always that clear. This could've been an interesting concept. You can also see how that worked in Andor - a brilliant show - that demonstrated that rebels aren't always heros and staff from the empire aren't always evil too.
Also Darth Vectivus for example of being a good sith
Jedi are the new Stormtroopers.
And Red skirts
TRIPLE STAB SPECIAL
He was not beaten by the moths; I am not sure what you were watching. The show was an improvement from the last 4 episodes, but it still is lacking. But it certainly was not the worst.
Unfortunately the yt community around star wars is dominated by these hysterical dudes who make a living from hating like there is no tomorrow. As you said it, this episode had its strengths and sadly again fumbled hard, esp in the second half, but thus „review“ is just blind rage
No, you are wrong. This episode is good, it’s much better than episodes 3 and 4. It’s the best episode of the whole series.
So it’s a sparkly piece of shit then?
@@hillzskillz7695 Episodes 3 and 4, not 5.
Based on the track record so far, I would be quite confident to make the following assessment -
1. If the big bad sith was a white guy, then the sith was truly evil
2. if the big bad sith was a POC, then he is a misunderstood man
Since he is Asian, I would be confident in saying that Disney will try to sell the second narrative by the end of the season.
no your just a hater lol
Truth
This episode was what the Acolyte series should have been. Super dark episode. IMO I enjoyed it a lot. However, that third episode and bad writing overall still holds the show back.

Just goes to show you what happens when you have writers that don't undeerstand the fans nor the source material...
I get having a decent amount of respect for the source material but the fans? No.
I was born in 1984. If one thing is true in all my years of geekdom it’s that the majority of the Star Wars fanbase are toxic and cynical in ways that not only contradicts themselves but can also cause my head to hurt more than getting reverse cowgirled by a Hutt.
My guess is it is a money laundering scheme.
@Filminformer1984 Hmmm.... hussy.... probably decent.
I can tell this person was never a star wars fan because they got so much wrong about the lore.
Look up cortosis
So you fix is to do exactly what they did in the episode.
What. Again you want them to do exactly what the show is doing. She want her family back. She wanted revenge for her family and now she know her sister is alive.
Don't want a relationship with her sister? Did you miss the whole hug where she said she wants her sister back.
What recon. This video is just bad.
If you slow down the clips, you will see the “sith” block and disable lightsabers with his BARE ARM! Once in the multi-Jedi fight, he blocks the blue with his arm and disables it, following that up with a headbutt (!) blocking and disabling the yellow one. He then repeats that same tactic to defeat Yord - bare arm block. When did disabling lightsabers become a thing?! Um…Lightsabers = 20,000 degree F plasma. Just saying.
47 years ago I saw Star Wars in theaters. WTF am I watching?
Cortosis has been a thing since 1991, which is a metal which disrupts and deactivates lightsabers, not saying this show is good but you can’t call this a Disney blunder when this was established Lucas era lore
As much as I hate the acolyte, I'll give them credit for that.
The sith is most likely using a rare legends material known as Cortosis as his armour, which was able to deflect lightsabers like beskar and even disable them for a bit, but it's also a lot less durable than beskar
While I personally hate it, the creators of The Acolyte did not come up with this idea by themselves. In some of the Star Wars: Legends novels there is a metal called cortosis that has a special property of absorbing energy, resulting in being impervious to balster fire and even being able to disable lightsaber blades which hit it for a short time (by sucking up their energy or something like that). So yeah, it's stupid and I don't like it, but it is something that's pretty established in the expanded lore.
See, now I’m confused. What lore has Disney kept and what lore have they dumped? Help me make it make sense. (And I’ll own the fact that I see the bracer on his arm in a re-watch). Just feels “Holdo Maneuver” to me. IMO.
@@TupZZ-fe1gpAppreciate the information. Learn something new every day. Best to ya. And yeah, The Acolyte gives me heartburn, too.
I don’t know what I hate more this show or the constant complaining about it. Most of the complaining is over really stupid shit! This show is bad but it has been absolutely nit picked to death to the point it’s getting really fucking annoying
The lines, the delivery, it's just terrible. I feel like the writers for The Acolyte are trying to make each line iconic; they want to find their "Do or Do not; there is no try," moment. The more Disney Star Wars fails the more I yearn for original canon Star Wars.
"Star Wars can't be morally grey" yeah its not like Kotor 2 is one of the most beloved pieces of star wars media ever created
Here’s how I would have fixed the show, just cancel the damn project before it got into production.
Those fights were badass, but I understand bashing the episode gives you more views and comments, so I don’t blame your hustle.
It’s bad because the writers,showrunners and actors are the real life sith.
They are evil,and evil always thinks it’s right,they’ll never think what they think or do is wrong,there’s no self assessment of their bahiviour.
They demand respect,they can’t see past their own opinions,and they identify with the sith,not the Jedi,because the sith are all about themselves.
And the Jedi are selfless and do things for the greater good.
So self obsessed showrunners and writers are not gonna identify with the Jedi as everything is about their power,their ideas,their view.
Seriously this show sums up how morally awful the people in Hollywood are right now.
The lot of them are basically the wicked queen from Snow White,looking in the mirror at themselves,but not asking who’s the fairest of them all,they just tell the mirror they are the fairest,as it doesn’t occur to them ever,they are just plain wrong.
Sad times for entertainment.
I’ll miss Star Wars but I’ll never watch an episode of anything Disney put out again.
Dude is so wrong. It's really doing a lot right.
1. Characters have mystique and story has mystery.
2. Jedi accurately depicted as child-abductors and anti-goth force cops.
3. Music tells the story like George intended.
4. Fun and interesting creatures and aliens (see: this episode, or jailbreak scene from previous).
5. MC isn't a low-class farmer 'mage born of muggles' youth from the desert.
6. The force is doing more than the usual crap we've seen 1 million times already.
7. Supporting characters look like aliens you might meet on StarTrek or something (you know, humans with prosthetics).
8. Combat in this show is actually interesting to watch.
9. Butthurt cishet men are spewing 1hr long tirades of what they don't like in the show and in women (comedy gold).
"Who are you !?!?"...
"I'M BATMAN !?!!"
Maybe you have to watch the episodes in reverse?? Like literally a plot twist.
Wait, did I just see the sith blocking a lightsabre's slash with his helmet and then see the same helmet smashed by some sabre's hilt strike???
It’s made of cortosis, which is a material from some of the novels that predate Disney. It disrupts the energy of lightsabers, but is very brittle otherwise
Lightsaber blades are weightless
Cortosis is a metal from legends it’s been in the lore for a while which makes me upset that they added that lore heavy detail but put Ki Adi Mundi 50 years before he was born in this show AS AN ESTABLISHED MASTER JEDI
I’m surprised yall still watching it. I won’t even bother. These video reviews are probably more entertaining than the actual show
Bro I don’t even like the show but saying “make the sith powerful by killing 80% of them” when he killed 7 of 8 Jedi, 87.5% of them…. Is acolyte level logic 😂
Thank you. I tweaked out when he said that😭
It’s fcking clickbait
Not a fan of modern Star Wars but winter soldier and civil war are two of the best mcu movies as they introduce questions of who is right and wrong
I guess in this parallel Star Wars universe, master Jedi can get killed by a throwing knife and Sith can get taken out by birds.
I wonder what kind of s--t Disney will think of next.
if you thought those were birds, you may need to get glasses

Within the logic of the writers, i truly don't understand why they seem to have no clue what personality Mae should have.
Ep 1 hated Jedi and wanted them dead, even seemed to take pleasure from knowing she killed 1. Ep 2 suddenly has the whole "kill them without weapons" so now she has a tragic backstory. Ep 3 just shows her as a lunatic even as a kid who tried to murder her sister. Ep 4 takes a massive turn and she's suddenly good and wants to turn herself in because "her loyalty is to Osha". Now in Ep 5, she's back to evil and wants to infiltrate the Jedi.......for some reason, instead of staying with the sister she just said she was loyal to.
They legitimately have zero clue what they're doing.
They just copied Bo-Karen´s -redemption- falling upwards "arc".
It happens with "plot-driven writing", when writers just string scene together and then make the protagonists act in whatever way is required to make the "cool scene" the writers envisioned happen.
The beginning of the episode made me feel like the director of this episode (who is not Leslye Headland) was trying to undo the work of the director who did the fourth episode and then I realise it's the same director. Also, in case no one has noticed this but Smilo Ren is so overpowered, most of the things he does only gets used once which reminded me of a movie known as the "Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness". Having a villian who is also overpowered and only uses most of her powers once (Scarlett Witch). Disney does not give this crap writing style up. I understand this show is annoying you like there's no tomorrow which I don't think there is a tomorrow so long as this show exists. Love your videos though. Thank you so much for the sacrifise you've put in for us. You deserve millions of subscribers. Also, be careful about what you say about the animals, you might also be called a toxic fan for saying anything about animals. Plants are next 🤣, then food 🤣.
It's like you didn't even watch the episode. If you think these are "lackluster" fight sequences, you must just hate the prequels.
I never thought I would ever have cause to type these words... but don't disrespect Steven Seagal's acting like that. I know he is meme-ably bad, but he isn't The Acolyte bad.
I mean it was corny. Jedi’s are super weak at this point and time I guess. But the show is still not as bad as Bubba and Obi. That’s the worst Star Wars I’ve ever seen. This is top 3 tho.
Lightsabers have depreciated in power every time someone ignites one it seems. They’re eventually not going to be able to pierce a piece of paper.
On the contrary, he recognized that people weren't dying anymore and hit em with that TRIPLE STAB SPECIAL
4:15 Besides the trashy episode you are wrong at this point.
Just look into Revan. Star Wars is not just good vs. evil. This franchise stepped into multiple layers of moral long ago.
The physical acting is horrible, they're struggling to make themselves appear convincing..
That's what happens when they cast actors based on their skin color or "sexual orientation" rather than talent!
I don't agree with you on this episode. It was the best episode of the series so far. However, it was far from a great episode. First the positives. Some excellent use of the force and lightsaber fighting was excellent. Also I like this idea they are developing of Master Sol having some darkness.
Negatives:
It broke one of my absolute laws. "Don't save someone just to kill them off later" Saving Yord in the the first battle just to kill him later. I also did have issue with his amazing recovery to some extent as the force is able to help people who are wounded. I'm not sure you have ever read any books when they actually describe someone fighting through an injury. The other biggetst issue I had was Mae going back and forth and then the switcheroo. (Didn't mae have a rather obvious scar on her forehead.)
THANK YOU
To be honest Star Wars was never my favorite scifi story, and in my opinion is not even the best, but the characters where really engaging, the lore was interesting and the music was simply amazing. Now we have modern SW, with one character more lame than the other, a lore that keeps changing for the worse every day and probably one of the winniest songs ever made as the face of this new show.
Can Star War really be considered Science Fiction? It's more like Science Fantasy. Sure, there's some "science" but the rules are always bending.
@@n4ughty_knightstar wars was a space opera.. at this point. Its just a bad franchise that only has good things from its more older original works. N even then. They werent all that amazing completly. Storm troopers losing to teddy bears shows even the originals are not really prefect ...

I would have to disagree with saying it’s the worst episode. Episode 3 is by far the worst in my opinion haha. Absolute trash
Can we just pretend this show NEVER happened?
Just because you hate the Acolyte it is not honest to call the fight scenes lackluster. Whoever is doing the choreo clearly knows what he is doing I think even Drinker said as much. The problem is that the writing is so abysmal and not on the same level. I still think Kung-fu style fights do not go well together with the Jedi but the fight scenes are excellently choerographed you have to give them that.
i dont understand why is it so hard to give what the true fans want. which equals to...CHA-CHING💸💰🤑

Did smiloren fucking punch a lightsaber and take no damage? I’m not the only one who saw that right?
I saw him block a lightsaber with his forearm twice. Kinda silly. Even for this show.
Cortosis is a material that is lightsaber resistant and causes them to short circuit for a few seconds. It pre-dates the house of mouse so I’m surprised the writer brought that in but couldn’t come up with a cohesive plot

Star wars is so diverse that its not even relatable anymore.

Also, Smilo Ren can whip 6 Jedi PLUS a padawan, but a few minutes later, that same padawan can go toe-to -toe with Smilo and even knock his lightsaber-proof helmet off with a glass-shattering sound from her elbow.
