The entire show is how the sith just want freedom and the jedi are bad for stopping them hurting people. As the jedi are oppressing them by forcing people to be civilised. Their response to this is literally anything is justified, so Osha remains the good guy. It's a horrific world view. Most would have the decency to be ashamed of it and hide it.
The thing is they're not even being completely honest about what the sith are or what they stand for. Sol was so badly written, as with every other character in the show, but the nail in the coffin is her somehow making this about sexism. 🤣 I'm an CONVINCED Headland is a massive troll because she cannot be serious! I mean I can't believe I'm going to type this but, Velma (🤢) had better character writing and story development than this "show".
@@Alteori Imagine if the message of RotS was that Anakin was right to murder the younglings, try to kill Padme and Obi Wan. Because the Jedi were oppressing him. It's not a tragedy see, Anakin became empowered! Or RotJ that Luke should NOT have seen the good in his father and just killed him instead. Keep in mind that Vader had way more flaws than Sol. But Luke STILL believes he can be redeemed. Not forgiven for all his crimes, but given the opportunity to redeem himself.
@@Alteoriyou should watch the Clone Wars or the bad batch both are pretty good Star Wars shows and if you like live action lightsaber combat I'd recommend the prequels they have issues but they're pretty good compared to modern day Star Wars at least in my opinion
This show is made by Disney, Kathleen Kennedy and former Weinstein's assistant. What can you expect. "Sith just want freedom and the jedi are bad for stopping them hurting people." is exactly their point of view in real life.
Well, if you are willing to spend your sanity on reading Leslie Headland interviews about Acolyte, it’s kinda obvious that either her morals are incredibly screwed, or she is a psychopath. Too many things that normal person would see as evil she simple does not and she is really struggling with understanding of what is relatable and how to draw empathy from viewers. She really think we should empathise with Osha, Mae or Qimir. Aside from that she is a pathological liar, contradicting herself in same interview or between and admitting that she lied to get things (fake it till you make it, and now we have an Acolyte, pinnacle of incompetence)
Let me get this straight: black lesbian space witch has more rights to the children because she's the impregnator, and also Sol being fatherly is benign sexism. So...fathers are greater than mothers, but only when those fathers are mothers. Got it.
The horned one was the one who actually carried them, so it is weird that the twins are black with no horns in sight. The black mom custom made these girls and she made them completely look like mini hers without even a trace of her wife. Doesn't seem like she actually loved wife #2 that much, if at all.
@@dragonninja3655 Hell, she wouldn't even allow the horned mother to discipline the girls when they misbehaved. It's like some strange role reversal with these witches. Instead of the woman who carried and birthed those babies having say in how the kids are raised - or the couple sharing the responsibility in raising the kids - it's entirely the one who impregnated the mother (the leader of the coven) who has say in how the kids were raised - spoiling those girls rotten and neither of the twins seeming to have much love/respect for the mother who brought them into the world.
@dragonninja3655 i bet you its Because the "Plot Twist" is that Osha, Mae, and Lesbian space grandwitch are all the same person. That is why when she transformed into the cloud, Mae and her were to form into Osha. And because of this, the exciting season 2, we will found out that Anakin is part of Palpatine because of the witches. Therefore making Rey Palpatine a Skywalker. Or some crap like that.
Lesley saying that Master Sol having fatherly feelings towards OSha being benign sexism that fatherhood is wrong is just another nail in the coffin for the Acolyte
@@UnifiedEntity well that is what was written in the article as Headlands response... paternal protection = benign sexism. It is what SHE said. How could anyone like her at all is mind blowing to me. Or her show. Unless you are an activist.
@@UnifiedEntity Benign sexism is absolutely a thing (like when dudes assume women can't do anything by themselves etc) but being a fatherly mentor/protector ain't it chief.
I love the fact that they tried to get you to root for a character who bullied a r*pe victim into drinking poison. Like WTF is wrong with these people.
Hollywood is full of weirdos, see Eric Kripke calling SA "hilarious" and having Starlight victim-blame Hughie and getting mad at him for being taken advantage of by a shapeshifter in the season finale of The Boys.
Leslie Headland: says the finds the phrase "seduced by the dark side" makes her uncomfortable. Also Leslie Headland: has Osha literally seduced by the dark side.
Lmao it’s like it’s always been said the Dark side has been seductive in nature because it promises an easy path to power. These people are sooooo stupid 😭😭
I found that to be freaking hilarious. She genuinely thought Vader being "seduced by the dark side" meant "sexually seduced". I think Leslie Headland has brain damage.
Mutiple therapy sessions with an incompatible woke therapist constantly reinterpret client's story wrong due to their own gender confusion way of thinking. Thus she went into manic episodes based on repressed memories of father daughter relationship.
Vader redeemed himself because he did save his son at the end. He rose up to kill Palpetine and died so his son could live. That is art. This is what racoons wouldn't touch.
I dont think he "redeemed" himself. If saving one life is enough redemption for a mass murderer like darth Vader then if someone took your life he would be redeemed by saving a stray cat?😂 I see ot more like jedi Anakin Skywalker destroying darth Vader at the end, rejecting dark side.
With Vader's redemption. He turned back to the light side, killed Palpatine, repented to Luke, and then died. If he had lived, he would have 100% been tried for his unspeakable crimes and sent to prison or executed. They do not understand what that scene means when they say he was redeemed. Spiritual redemption and a physical pardon, are very different.
And not only that, but in his redemption and repentance, Anakin would've accepted his punishment. That's what they also fail to understand. They think "Oh I'm good now, so I don't have to be punished now."
_"he would have 100% been tried for his unspeakable crimes and sent to prison or executed."_ That may be true, but almost certainly only due to how US Americans see "justice" when it's actually revenge or even vengeance. What goal do you want to achieve with punishment? Do you want that person to feel regret and do what they can to make up for any mistakes? Then punishing them *_after_* they've started to regret their actions (and don't try to tell me that Anakin wouldn't have regretted his actions for the rest of his life) is almost certain to be counterproductive, they're far more likely to develop resentments and fall back into the very mindset that made them do what they did in the past. There's only two goals you can achieve with punishments like that. One being the emotional satisfaction that revenge can bring. But that's usually at the cost of your own humanity - to stick with Star Wars, that's *_exactly_* the moment you would fall to the Dark Side. The other goal is to deter others from doing similarly bad stuff - but even that doesn't work only for _some_ of the people who would do it without the threat of punishment. And in this particular case - who the hell do you think would be deterred by the threat of a death sentence _from becoming a second Vader?_
Considering leslies past it comes off as issues generated from been around her former employer. I think he really boiled her brain about what's right and wrong
Apparently, the thing that the leader of the witches was doing was becoming one with the Force (and taking Mae with her). And there's only one way to become one with the Force, and that is to die. If that's the case, Sol saved Mae's life because her mother was actively trying to kill her.
Which does give a very interesting twist to her dying words. "I was going to let you take her . . . because I was going to kill myself and my other daughter. My wife and the one who actually gave birth? Who cares what she wants."
@@Senkoau That last part was made blatantly obvious because horned mother literally had no say in how those girls were raised - the leader dismissing her concerns at every turn.
@@madamefluffy4788 perfect role model for today's men taking hrt and identifying as a woman. Which as well all know the only way to be a strong woman is to be a man on hormone replacement therapy.
It's basically a repost of my previous comment here. But it suits the subject. >Leslye apparently wrote it as a way to reconcile with her sister >in the show, one of the sisters was good and the other was evil >the two sisters reconciled because the good one got literally seduced to the Dark Side >the evil one never took responsibility for her wrongdoings What could Leslye mean?
“A satisfactory kill” that the interviewer talks of is the very definition of choosing the path of darkness and enjoying being evil and self serving. Or as Nietzsche famously said: “He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby becomes a monster. And if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you.” The interviewer has become her own monster.
The "good guys and bad guys problem" you mentioned at the beginning. That's because the show's writers and production team are tyrannical and degenerated. As a result, the villains in their eyes are just people with decent moral standards.
Now a father’s natural instinct to protect is problematic? I guess this is a spoiler for Alteori, but Darth Vader sacrifices himself to save Luke. Up until that point he’d done nothing to be a good parent, but the instinct to protect his son kicked in, showing that there was some light left in him. Was he taking away Luke’s autonomy by killing the emperor and himself?
Eh. We’ve spoiled her enough. But maybe you should move the spoilers even lower so she would have to click ‘see more’ to actually see it. She is going to watch the movies.
Is a mother's natural instinct to protect and support a son therefore passive sexism too? Hedland sems to make arguments that fall apart instantly as soon as you look at any wider context.
I think the interviewer that was mad at Sol for telling osha, "it's okay" when she was killing him is only upset because she really wants to kill her own father, and is mad that she can't live out her revenge fantasy in all it's brutality.
The schills in the beginning were so quick to "ship" Osha and Jekki and Osha and Nord in the first half of the season, and then when it's pointed out she is thirsty for her love interests/friends killer... the schills say the critics are making up the relationships. The funny thing is Qimir literally threw the fact that Osha had feelings for Jekki in her face to turn her to the dark side.
@@Jiraiyashouse666 I wonder why no one shipped him with May since she spent more time with him? I mean how did she get off world to even meet him? Who raised her to the age she grew to? Did he see her as a sister but became attracted to the girl with her same face?
How is "being a victim of murder" robbing Osha of her agency? Her agency is in the choice to kill him. Just because he accepts his fate means nothing (and that's HIS choice, not hers); she could still quit choking him if she chose not to. He's not choking himself after all. That's got to be the DUMBEST sentence I've ever seen in print. Man, these people are really THAT STUPID, aren't they? Either that, or they think the AUDIENCE is (or both). My brain hurts so much from trying to grasp that bit of idiocy; I'm going to go overdose on aspirin until blood comes out my ears.
I was just thinking that. It probably would’ve been better writing if she stopped killing him but still turned evil. Kind of like robbing him of his acceptance. Also her acting in that scene was horrible if they really wanted to make that a hard hitting scene they shouldn’t have hired a wall to act
The kind of people who've been writing these self-insert shows packed with characters severely lacking in a moral compass.. think they are the very incarnation of morality. It's so bad they don't even realize that they're outing themselves to the world. It's quite widespread in the media in general. I just wonder how extensively programmed their remaining fans are. It must be near maximum if we're getting articles like the one featured in this vid. Foknshokin.
@@Dragnumb55 the difference here is these sisters barely know each other, and both of them keep flip/flopping on everything they say they're going to do... this show is so badly written it's hard to tell up from down, because the writers can't decide what direction either of those things are in. so you can't really compare your real life story to whatever the heck this show is.
@@Dragnumb55 and this is why it matters that fictional stories still be good, and why it's not ok to blame the fans when they're critical of any story in any medium.
There are (probably) first draft love triangle fan fictions of Star Wars with obvious self insert characters written into them out there that do more justice for the whole of the Star Wars universe than this show ever managed to do.
I can say with absolute certainty there are first draft full blown harem fanfictions with vastly better writing than anything these ambulatory sacks of malodorous pus have ever produced.
@dogking44 no they released a comic book based on the first draft. It was kind of a weird fever dream but it wasn't some watpad trash. It still felt more star warsy than anything releases in the past 10 years
Translation: Sol is my farther. The Jedi is religion and the witches are the gay bars I went to. This is a story about me and about how upset I am about my youth.
I wrote fanfics back in the day. I tried my best to make it accurate to the lore. I always go to their wiki to check. But I would never make a fanfic about a franchise with a big lore like Star Wars, Harry Potter, and Lord of the Rings. I want my readers to feel my story to be Canon.
I feel you star wars is a challenging piece to write as I am attenping to make a quality story as well. But the challenge is exciting but trust me you can do better then the shower runner of this show and right now star wars needs lore accurate quality content.
@@GODCONVOYPRIMEwow you are hating for no reason also I have read fanfics infinitely better than this damned show so stop being biased cause you only read fanfics on wattpad instead of an actually good fanfics website like ao3. Also IRL professional writers write fanfic even top 10 best sellers, also fanfics can be original works. There is an entire tag for specifically original works on ao3 that are considered fanfics. Also any retelling of a story counts as a fanfic technically if it isn't the original. 99% of Greek mythology you know probably came from Ovid who is Roman and basically wrote a ton of fanfics that became myths to make the gods look worse. Like the most popular version of Medusa’s story is Ovid’s version. Every single retelling of a story like Cinderella? Technically a fanfic by definition you could argue that a decent chunk of fiction is in reality one large fanfic. You could argue the Legend of Zelda franchise is one complex King Arthur fanfic chock full of Oc’s also speaking of King Author. Did you know the entirety of his legend you isn't the original made different authors who liked the original therefore making them fanfics. Like bro you got to understand how dumb of a statement you just mentioned was. Like I understand why you would say this because people will post the unhinged fanfics that should have never been created but then you also have fanfics made by budding writers, professional writers, hobbyist and a host of other people who are just normal found a story they like and then decided to write something up about it. TLDR; A hilariously large amount of modern media would count as fanfics even classic stories like Cinderella, the most popular telling of Medusa’s myth, and things like Dante’s Inferno.
Yeah Sol feeling the need to protect two kids and Killing the mom because she was killing the kid. Because apparently she was turning into the force. Which means she was killing herself and the kid. Unless they want to say she's so powerful she'll be the only one to turn into the force and back into a witch.
@@abdieljove2011 wtf... Then she was killing herself and the girl at the same time. He was justified in saving the girl's life. Make it make sense! smh
I didn't get that either. The way I thought it looked when it was happening, it was either that she was preparing some sort of dark side attack against him or maybe that she was trying to use the dark side to escape. (I guess I wasn't actually that far off with the attack thought, if the intention was actually supposed to be that she was trying to implode and take her kid out with her.) In either case, Sol wouldn't have known what she was trying to do, he only would have known that she was drawing power from the deep end of the dark side (which could only be perceived as an immediate threat). And he lashed out in self defense and to stop whatever crazy thing she was trying to do.
@@MuljoStpho Guess Osha was just sh*t out of luck. Let her burn, we're out of here! Even the mother who carried them just went up in smoke. Who wrote that crap. They need to watch their script go up in flames if that's the best they can do. I call it ChatGPT writing.
Wait one second, did she admit that they knew they wanted Sol to be the villain in the end? So they automatically said "Yeah we're gonna kill the foster father" from the very beginning by making him look very predatory in the beginning and kill the witch's mother because she turned to freaking smoke and almost Thanos snapped her daughter. That is just misandry to a T.
The thing with a lot of the people in Hollywood at the moment is they try to use fancy and big words to make themselves sound smarter than they are but instead they put together words that contradict themsleves and instead make themselves seem very dumb.
Leslie says that when the mother was turning to black ghost thing, she was becoming one with the force like Ben Kenobi in a New hope. Thing is that would mean you'd have to die. Since she was taking osha with her that would mean she technically was killing her too. Sol did Osha a favor.
So bitch was trying to kill children for her own selfish goal this is not morally grey this is pure evil. Why Leslie constantly glaze her as some sort of strong leader is pure delusional
As much as I massively don't like the show I can't help but love the meme clip of Vadar saying "The Power of One, The Power of Two, The Power of Manyyyyyyyyy"
@NoHandle44 Specially considering "the power of many" gets defeated by a single jedi... and they all inmediatelly fall dead like flies. So, not a lot of power.
The fact that she said "benign sexism", thinking that word salad made her sound intelligent, just shows how the writing could turn out so badly. Not thinking out two words you put together before saying them is indicative to how much thought went into writing a script for 8 episodes that had no tangible continuity, both to the Star Wars lore and to the characters that were presented.
the problem is that word salad is now mainstream terminology in modern psychology, which has largely been highjacked by feminism. this is how many peer reviewed psychology studies read. it doesn't matter that none of their theories pan out in reality; they preach it like the gospel.
I see no issues with that term, it sounds very appropriate. The issue _I_ have is that on one side, they rail against benign sexism, but then turn around and cry out when they're not benefiting from benign sexism when they want to. It's the hypocrisy that's so utterly disgusting. (there's plenty more issues, but since this thread is about benign sexism, I'll stick to just that topic 🙃)
@@Wolf-ln1ml The term makes no sense, though - as sexism is not what people would define as being something that is harmless, regardless of which gender is experiencing the sexism.
"Damn my adoptive father didn't even have the decency to grovel and beg for his life as I murdered him!" I'd make an "are we the baddies?" joke, but I don't think they have the self awareness to even consider how unhinged they sound.
These people are not mentally well how on Earth does Disney even get these people to write Star wars. And they are one who call Lucas a racist and sexist nazi because he didn't hire black people in a country that is mostly white people.
They try to make the good guys the bad guys, yet even fall at that. Cause the jedi only broke into the witch's home because Sol got a vision of Mae trying to kill Osha with a fire. So they were acting in the belief at least one child was in danger.
you make a great point, as a writer i didn't think i had what it took to write in the female voice so i took time out and did a side project which took 4 years plus some. i did that because i wanted to be respectful and get the authentic perspective. But this, how else are we supposed to take this but think it's an attack and im assuming she's using the JEDI to represent men as a whole. it's bullsh*t! Then they tell the fans to shut up. and now she wants our help. Are they serious?!!
Average SW fan here.....What the mother did was witchcraft BS. Sol's reaction makes perfect sense and was in the right to slain the paranormal activity demon. As for Osha killing Sol....a normal person would grieve and demand answers first. But instead, she went with her unstable emotions and embraced being a psycho like discount Ezra Miller. Lesley and the whole writers room are INSANE radical feminists that took a sh*t on SW.
@@audreyharris7643 Not just the leader - but the whole damn coven. (the leader invaded the padawan's mind in order to seduce him and the rest of the coven hijacked the wookie's mind to attack his colleagues). Literal mind r*pe - yet the coven is seen as the good guys (WTF?)
Every person I've seen do multiple reviews of The Acolyte have slowly with each additional review become more and more exasperated and unhinged about the show. Ten outta ten , would recommend the show to my friends to make them suffer.
Someone who critiques movies should be atl east familiar with the most popular entries since they get referenced all the time. So absolutely watch the old Star Wars movies.
course there is one very slight issue with that. The unavoidable Changes they made to the original movies, that are really really bad. Yet you can no longer really go back and watch the true original movie.
Last I saw, she only watched A New Hope. Which, admittedly, hasn't aged as well as the others. Plus she doesn't have patience for old effects. Still say Empire Strikes Back is at least required viewing before deciding on the OT.
I speak a little feminist - "benign sexism" is essentially the same as "white microaggressions" in that it's what you claim when you can't find any actual sexism or racism. Its basically a guarantee that the speaker is what she claims you are.
@@BiggieTrismegistus No, that would just be sexism. Benign sexism literally translates to harmless sexism. It's nothing but an oxymoron - making the people who coin the phrase unironically look like uneducated morons.
So I might be wrong since I've heard this used only with tumors but doesn't bening bassically mean that its noticable and there but not going to become a bigger problem?
@@matijasostojic4288 Something being benign means it's harmless/non threatening. Benign Sexism is an oxymoron (a figure of speech where two words contradict each other) and the people who use the term and think it means something significant are just morons.
And that was fine when Anakin's actions were ambiguous But after the prequels, where he is portrayed killing a couple dozen Jedi acolytes with a lightsaber, the character is really irredeemable. And unless Yoda and Ben Kenobi's morals were seriously different than Earth morality, there's no way they would have been standing there looking happy next to him and there's no way he would have been standing there looking happy because he still killed those children. Does he lack the feelings of guilt simply because he helped kill palpatine
Nerdrotic pointed out that this the writing is basically comedy as they used Manny Jacinto as the eye candy bad boy: The Power of one - Mae The Power of two - Osha The Power of MANNNNNY (Jacinto)
Paternal protectiveness is 1) not sexist, since ALL parents apply it to ALL children, and 2) not a negative behavior. There's no way to turn it into an act of evil. Maybe protectiveness is overdone or even smothering at times, but it can never be abuse the way Headland and the interviewer want it to be.
@@sticklyboi I was joking; no such term exists. But considering how much damage some progressive ideology can cause, malignant progressivism should definitely be a thing.
There is another thing. In past several days Sol saved her life at least two times. One in frozen planet, next time when Qimir tried to kill her. And she didn’t even tried to listen to him.
Like the Sequel Trilogy this is Non Canon, if this was a 4 Hour Movie I would say to Lucasfilm that they lost their Freaking Minds in this Crap, it’s just a Terrible Series only to focus of the Feminist Agenda than actual Lore to Star Wars, but instead they Retcon It into something that’s Not, there’s no Love, No Passion, No Thought, No Creativity, No Imagination, No Creativity, No Interesting Character, and No One Thing that makes us believe this was the History that Built the Universe’s Franchise, it’s nothing more than a Soulless Tasteless Sexist Joke that it should have been Scrapped rather than Villainizing the Jedi and Wasting Popular Actor’s Time just to Bait Us like Prey, the Only Decent Things were Mae and the Stranger but in the end it’s a Boring Failure that will be Forgotten.
That pause trying to find good things to say about the show just sent me. Well played. Stellar Blade gameplay interspersed with Smackolyte footage is a beautiful B-roll backhand slap on the latter. Seeing just HOW much better something can be, and that's even with Stellar Blade not being quite my thing. Holy shit how far the entertainment industry has gone.
I can make it make sense. 16:56 As you noticed in other videos, Sol is written in such a way his actions mirror grooming techniques of child predators. I used to be a teacher in a psychiatric hospital and fully agree, this is how child predators operate and think and justify their actions, but most aren’t SA abusers but emotional abusers as well. Headland wrote Sol specifically to be a stand in for her father. She believes this is how typical father daughter relationships look like. That’s why she thinks going basically no contact is the only way women can live their lives as they want. Hedland honestly doesn’t understand the difference between healthy parental love, or any love probably, and abuse. That’s why she believed it was a good thing and relatable when 26ish year old Osha actively tried to seduce what was essentially a high school junior from an all girls catholic school. And why it’s deeply moving for her that Osha ended up in a mass murderer who killed that child in front of her just hours before. She’s so broken and evil she can’t understand her understanding of relationships is levels of abuse all the way down.
Benign sexism is just male obligation and responsibility. Like how in the past the reason women needed men to co-sign on credit loans was because creditors were legally barred from suing women if they failed to pay back their debts. Only men could be taken to court. Any time you observe restrictions placed on women in any culture there is always a corresponding obligation placed on men for taking care of those women under those restrictions. Denying men authority in that situation would be like expecting a bodyguard to take responsibility for protecting his client if the client was not legally obligated to follow his safety rules.
the TLDR with Vaders redemption is there was a prophecy of the one who would bring balance to the force. Anakin/Vader was the one who the Prophecy entailed and a Balance in the force isn't equal dark side to light side, word from Lucas himself is the Force in Balance is no dark side at all Palps is basically Zapping Luke to death and Vader protects his son and kills palps but has his life support suit critically damaged in the process, which turns him back to the Light side since he sacrificed himself to save his son rather than stand by and watch Palps kill him. and its one of those moments where if you know the context with the prequel trilogy it makes the scene so much stronger.
Let's call parental protectionism what it actually is.. being a parent. All that Headland is basically saying is that she is mad because a parent isn't going to let you do whatever you want while you're in their house.
The thing about star wars is that its a good story that can be told from many different perspectives. Case and point one particular order is told from several different perspectives over several movies and tv shows. Beyond that the width of the star wars universe allows for a lot of deep stories. Most of the Disney stuff is about a deep as a puddle.
How they gonna trash on men and fatherhood when all the problems in the show was because of the women? You have the two women doing the cover-ups. You have the mothers and witches who were either messing with people’s heads and turning into smoke monsters or advocating violence as a solution. Then on all that, you have the sister who burnt her home to the ground, trying to game end her sister and later started killing people, starting the events that led to a dozen dead Jedi. This show gives the opposite message this article is laying out.
Star Wars used to be something that my Dad and I would love and enjoy watching together. To me it was a story about Father and Son. And how a son’s love was able to save his father. Now, I’m glad my dad’s dead so he never has to see what the thing we both loved has become
I've seen multiple "media journalists" claiming fans of the acolyte are begging for a season 2. Yes all 6 of them. No one can give an objective opinion online on why does the show deserve a season 2.
Leslye just makes The Acolyte worse with almost every interview she does. Instead of writing a Star Wars story. She made something about her personal issues and we unfortunately subjected ourselves to it. At the end of the day it's her fanfic and a lot of people don't count it as Star Wars lore. I would suggest watching the six Lucas films and just ignore anything Disney.
I get the feeling that the director wanted this show to have the Jedi represent religion, and the Sith to represent a specific community. Which is why they let the main character join the sith to be herself. Wild theory, but I can't find evidence to the contrary. It's worth noting that in the original trilogy the Jedi were inspired by the Knights Templar. The Sith were originally conceived as an army of fanatical soldiers that served the Emperor in the same way that the Schutzstaffel had served the monster in charge of Germany 84 years ago. Not something you let someone join to "be Themselves."
I would not be suprised. People who follow subversive politics always try to side and support of the most evil and worst characters in fiction possible to fight the "status quo."
I do like the idea (which probably reached its peak in literary Legends days) that the Sith philosophy does appear individualistic from the outside but takes it through the funhouse mirror and out the other side: a Sith essentially becomes proximately addicted to the concept of finding, embracing and celebrating their attachments and identity because this is the necessary prelude to destroying those things and thus "breaking more of their chains", until the hypothetical end goal where they're a hollow shell with devotion to the Sith philosophy dominating simply because it's the thing they're never tried to destroy. A void at its core held together purely by the dispassionate will to do harm, continually struggling to find and hold onto new fuel for hatred to add some life to its existence.
I think they wanted to have a theme of "they tried to make the wrong girl a jedi. Mae was always the one stronger in the Light side, and Osha is of the Dark, because they are halves of a whole." Of course, they once again failed to convey that theme in a meaningful way and it just feels like garbled motives.
They botched that up bad. Yet I do kinda like the idea of being Ying and Yang. One good one evil. The good one goes towards the dark side the other towards the light. If they did it right they would find balance in the end. Being neither good or bad but neutral.
@@chrimsonphantom ... I think you've just accidentally justified their stupid "The Force is female" thing. Through this "vergeance" thing they introduced (at least I don't think it was ever a thing before this show?) the twins are "The Force incarnate" but the entire thing couldn't exist within a single body and it turned out as flawed twins instead of one perfect superbeing. (Of course where Disney Star Wars is concerned Rey Palpatine is their female Force incarnate perfect superbeing.)
Crazy enough someone did ask her. and the answer was, the mom was trying to turn herself and mae into the force. Basically killing herself and her daughter.
@rayvonvelez3129 wow that is just disgusting... so sol never did anything but stop her from murdering a child? ... And he gets killed by that child's sister, who was the kid he saved at the bridge. WTF! HE SAVED THEM BOTH , ungrateful little turds
This next topic is unrelated to Acolyte, but I wanted to mention it. I just finished watching the original 1987 Bates Motel movie (which has nothing to do with the TV series that came out in 2013). While that film was pretty goofy (albeit, cheesy fun), it was far more consistent and entertaining than the entirety of Acolyte, or any of the other Disney-Wars shows. That's how far Disney has sunk Star Wars, to the point that a mostly forgotten failed attempt at a Psycho TV series from nearly 40 years ago is more entertaining than a modern Star Wars show.
It's sad that it reaches the point that as someone not familiar with starwars, you at times need to ask yourself the question of "Is the light side the "good" side?" Because that is something that should be as clear as cliche as it is to say Light good Darkness bad in pretty much any other media, that's how it is in Star Wars, now are there people in either side that can be manipulated/influenced by the other or that make bad mistakes, yes, like in literally everything, no one is perfect. But it should always be clear that the Light side is meant to be the good side and any deviation from being "good" if anything is more about the individual ratter than the cause itself.
I dont think I've ever seen a jedi beg for their life in any star wars thing I've watched. Especially not a jedi master, they think they'll become one with the force, they're not scared. I don't even like jedi but one thing they've never been is bitch made.
Believe it or not, I've heard that the era this show connects to, The High Republic, is actually worse. They actually do make the Jedi look evil in the comics and books of that era (and it's all Disney stuff, just to be clear).
"Protecting" an adult is also a lot different than *protecting a child.* I assume Hedlund is talking about Sol killing the girls' mom to save them, and she thinks it's bad because "benign sexism"? Lol really?
I love the acolyte... ... reactions videos.❤ Its been so entertaining watch you (and other channels) suffer these past weeks. 😂 Thank you for your service.
"How dare he just accept the fact she was killing him. He should have tried to fight it so she got some satisfaction from it." The person who wrote that needs to be locked away. That is some psychopathic stuff.
That's more something the Joker would say, not a healthy adult. Also, what is with writers and journalists micromanaging every little thing characters do? Don't find love. Don't be forgiving. Don't be selfless. Don't be respectful. Don't, don't, don't. It's all about what you have to avoid and scrub away instead of what you can create and nurture.
"To descent to the madness and evil of being capable of murdering a family member.." Idk, sometimes I think these modern "writers" are more "Projecting" than trying to write, or tell a story, their creativity comes from a place of pain, misery and hate, instead of joy, faith, wisdom or instinct. It's so sad these people get put in charge of large creative projects, Witcher, Rings of Power, Dr Who. Shame. Give it to some really talented people and oh kith, these things get talked and referenced for a century and maybe more.
I love how the show starts out with Osha after she left the jedi and as we slowly find out what happened and all the effort and sacrifice and death just to allow her to become a jedi......and then one day she's like, I'm out cya, and Sol was like, k byeeeeee. Pure comedy.
I am reminded of an old country song where the woman completely destroys her boyfriend's car for cheating on her. This celebration of over-reaction seems to be the show runner's mantra.
People who do not have a traditional / conservative relationship with their spouse simply don't understand the dynamics. My wife and I are very traditional by modern standards. I have always been the provider, and she has stayed home with the kids and worked per diem. From the outside it looks like she is submissive to me, but what they don't understand is I provide for, and take care of her, so she can take care of us. That is why the saying: "For every great man, there is a great woman behind him" is incredibly accurate.
Right! And that works for you guys and you are both happy. Now I'm hearing many women who previously had said that they were Independent Women now want to stay home and don't want to work because it's hard out here. They want to be taken care of and they want men to pay for everything for them to give them a lifestyle of peace and no responsibilities. The thing that they don't understand is that it is not just you sit home and do nothing unless you decide to go with a sugar daddy arrangement. You still have responsibilities. If the guy is going to be outside working 9:00 to 5:00 or doing hard labor, then you're expected to at the very least, cook and clean, since he can't be at home doing that because he'd be too tired, since most of his time is spent outside. I would say the same thing goes for a woman who works outside. Right now my uncle, who used to work for Homeland Security, is basically retired. His wife is still a doctor and she works very long hours so they did agree, even though she didn't have to even ask him for him to cook the food and for him to take care of the kids. Since their kids are older now he doesn't really have to bother with that, but he does the cooking and he's way better at it, by the way. They also have enough money that they can hire a maid to clean up on the weekends. But he puts the dishes in the dishwasher he does the vacuuming throughout the week, and he also does the outside work and building because he loves to build. That works well for them. Sometimes my aunt comes home and she's so exhausted and then she's on call on top of it. So it makes sense that whoever is home is going to be doing some of the housework but a lot of these women who now are saying that they want to be at home and stay at home, don't want to do the housework and just expect that the man is going to work all that time for all those hours outside and then come home and then wait on them like they're servants. But somehow THAT'S not sexism?
Sorry Alteoori, the benign sexism of your video's have taken away my agency in forming my own opinion on the show..... somehow. All honesty your video's have been great! Thanks!
A better idea for a sith focused show might have been to explore various sith myths and legends tied into them. Maybe have a slave using the darkside to break free of captivity... only for their darkside fueled rampage to catch innocent people and even loved ones in the carnage. Or maybe a ancient noble sith king, who is devoted and loving toward his people and keeping them safe... only to commit atrocities and increasing levels of brutal sacrifice to preserve his people, and his family. Imagine an anthology of 13 episodes each telling a sith legend or fables... with all the focus on selling these smaller complete narratives.
Alteori, I watched the original Star Wars trilogy a long time ago, all 3 times. Will happily watch videos of you reviewing the first 3 movies. And would be interested in hearing your take on the next 3 (1,2,3, the prequels ?) as I haven’t ever watched them, just caught the Roman coliseum scene with the heroes tied on top of columns on TV once.
its weird how many shoutouts to disparu there have been. I wouldn't mind a panel discussing the acolyte between you, reaper, and Disparu. Though you may want to watch the original movies to prepare for that.
Hey alteori, I'm a big fan of your channel. I really loved your videos on primal I would like to give you show to check out it's called scavengers reign hope you see this
I'm still furious that they outright said 'the sith code is about freedom', AND THEN MADE THEM INTO MUSTACHE TWIRLING VILLAINS ANYWAYS! They're right, the sith code doesn't day ANYWHERE that you have to be evil. Jedi vs Sith isn't good vs evil, it's order vs chaos.
Yep. We have had a number of Sith that actually did good. There was a Sith businessman that treated his workers so good that they were extremely loyal towards him. He did kill a few of them because they accidentally uncovered Sith holocrons but he wound up returning the bodies to their family and paid for the families livelihood until their dying days. Other than that one act he was pretty chill. He just wanted more knowledge on the past Sith.
@RazielTheUnborn when I was big into SWTOR, I had made a meme that I feel sums it up perfectly. "You save people because your order demands it. I save people because no one can stop me. We are not the same.'
@@TheDapperDragonSWTOR does a better job of making the Jedi villains than this does, what with the Jedi Order being started by a genocide led by a bunch of sociopaths who did it because they saw emotions (especially desire to help others, compassion, and mercy) as weakness (and were jealous because they couldn’t tap the Dark Side at all). Then there are the countless evils performed by the various Jedi in the different storylines because they don’t see anyone but Jedi as people.
“Peace is a lie, there is only passion Through passion I gain strength Through strength I gain power Through power I gain victory Through victory my chains are broken The force shall free me” This is the code of the Sith - and this pathetic excuse for a television show doesn’t understand it *at all!* A Sith has an underlying strength of character, a sense of purpose and focus on what he believes and desires: the characters in this production have none of that - they seem to be more like caricatures of what people who don’t really understand the Sith *think* a Sith is.

The entire show is how the sith just want freedom and the jedi are bad for stopping them hurting people. As the jedi are oppressing them by forcing people to be civilised.
Their response to this is literally anything is justified, so Osha remains the good guy. It's a horrific world view. Most would have the decency to be ashamed of it and hide it.
Be honest, we only know that because Headlamp had to keep explaining and doing damage control interviews after each episode.
The thing is they're not even being completely honest about what the sith are or what they stand for. Sol was so badly written, as with every other character in the show, but the nail in the coffin is her somehow making this about sexism.
🤣 I'm an CONVINCED Headland is a massive troll because she cannot be serious! I mean I can't believe I'm going to type this but, Velma (🤢) had better character writing and story development than this "show".
@@Alteori Imagine if the message of RotS was that Anakin was right to murder the younglings, try to kill Padme and Obi Wan. Because the Jedi were oppressing him. It's not a tragedy see, Anakin became empowered!
Or RotJ that Luke should NOT have seen the good in his father and just killed him instead. Keep in mind that Vader had way more flaws than Sol. But Luke STILL believes he can be redeemed. Not forgiven for all his crimes, but given the opportunity to redeem himself.
@@Alteoriyou should watch the Clone Wars or the bad batch both are pretty good Star Wars shows and if you like live action lightsaber combat I'd recommend the prequels they have issues but they're pretty good compared to modern day Star Wars at least in my opinion
This show is made by Disney, Kathleen Kennedy and former Weinstein's assistant. What can you expect. "Sith just want freedom and the jedi are bad for stopping them hurting people." is exactly their point of view in real life.
That quote about how killing Sol is unsatisfactory because he gave his acceptance to his impending death is Joker levels of psychopathy
@@kagekun1198 Man dead. Woman who killed him most affected.
RIGHT!!!! like wtf was even that? I was shocked LOL.
Well, if you are willing to spend your sanity on reading Leslie Headland interviews about Acolyte, it’s kinda obvious that either her morals are incredibly screwed, or she is a psychopath. Too many things that normal person would see as evil she simple does not and she is really struggling with understanding of what is relatable and how to draw empathy from viewers. She really think we should empathise with Osha, Mae or Qimir. Aside from that she is a pathological liar, contradicting herself in same interview or between and admitting that she lied to get things (fake it till you make it, and now we have an Acolyte, pinnacle of incompetence)
@@caesari3708 Man is the one at fault because he accepted his death even though a Jedi is meant to be willing to accept these things if they have too.
Clearly, Osha is somehow the victim in the situation even at the point when she literally *KILLS* a person. Right? Because, of course she is...
Let me get this straight: black lesbian space witch has more rights to the children because she's the impregnator, and also Sol being fatherly is benign sexism. So...fathers are greater than mothers, but only when those fathers are mothers. Got it.
When I first saw the scene where the black mother snapped 'I created them', I immediately had a thought like that.
The horned one was the one who actually carried them, so it is weird that the twins are black with no horns in sight. The black mom custom made these girls and she made them completely look like mini hers without even a trace of her wife. Doesn't seem like she actually loved wife #2 that much, if at all.
@@dragonninja3655Fr and I think some horns would have made them look cooler and scary if they wanted them to be evil
@@dragonninja3655 Hell, she wouldn't even allow the horned mother to discipline the girls when they misbehaved.
It's like some strange role reversal with these witches. Instead of the woman who carried and birthed those babies having say in how the kids are raised - or the couple sharing the responsibility in raising the kids - it's entirely the one who impregnated the mother (the leader of the coven) who has say in how the kids were raised - spoiling those girls rotten and neither of the twins seeming to have much love/respect for the mother who brought them into the world.
@dragonninja3655 i bet you its Because the "Plot Twist" is that Osha, Mae, and Lesbian space grandwitch are all the same person. That is why when she transformed into the cloud, Mae and her were to form into Osha. And because of this, the exciting season 2, we will found out that Anakin is part of Palpatine because of the witches. Therefore making Rey Palpatine a Skywalker. Or some crap like that.
Lesley saying that Master Sol having fatherly feelings towards OSha being benign sexism that fatherhood is wrong is just another nail in the coffin for the Acolyte
Pretty sure the Acolyte's not the only thing in that coffin.

I found that to be freaking hilarious. She genuinely thought Vader being "seduced by the dark side" meant "sexually seduced". I think Leslie Headland has brain damage.

With Vader's redemption. He turned back to the light side, killed Palpatine, repented to Luke, and then died. If he had lived, he would have 100% been tried for his unspeakable crimes and sent to prison or executed. They do not understand what that scene means when they say he was redeemed. Spiritual redemption and a physical pardon, are very different.
Bingo.
And not only that, but in his redemption and repentance, Anakin would've accepted his punishment. That's what they also fail to understand. They think "Oh I'm good now, so I don't have to be punished now."
@@EndThusIAm exactly! True repentance involves accepting your punishment. Otherwise you aren't sorry, just sorry you got caught.
_"he would have 100% been tried for his unspeakable crimes and sent to prison or executed."_
That may be true, but almost certainly only due to how US Americans see "justice" when it's actually revenge or even vengeance. What goal do you want to achieve with punishment?
Do you want that person to feel regret and do what they can to make up for any mistakes? Then punishing them *_after_* they've started to regret their actions (and don't try to tell me that Anakin wouldn't have regretted his actions for the rest of his life) is almost certain to be counterproductive, they're far more likely to develop resentments and fall back into the very mindset that made them do what they did in the past.
There's only two goals you can achieve with punishments like that. One being the emotional satisfaction that revenge can bring. But that's usually at the cost of your own humanity - to stick with Star Wars, that's *_exactly_* the moment you would fall to the Dark Side. The other goal is to deter others from doing similarly bad stuff - but even that doesn't work only for _some_ of the people who would do it without the threat of punishment. And in this particular case - who the hell do you think would be deterred by the threat of a death sentence _from becoming a second Vader?_
@@Wolf-ln1ml No.

Even though they should ACTUALLY have Mother issues
Many of Hollywoke women women don't even have a father because of All The Single mother's who don't like man.
Apparently, the thing that the leader of the witches was doing was becoming one with the Force (and taking Mae with her). And there's only one way to become one with the Force, and that is to die.
If that's the case, Sol saved Mae's life because her mother was actively trying to kill her.
Which does give a very interesting twist to her dying words. "I was going to let you take her . . . because I was going to kill myself and my other daughter. My wife and the one who actually gave birth? Who cares what she wants."

Leslye identifies with OSHA but has osha murder her own father. So leslye identifies with Evil? 😈
@@veeclash4157 I thought Leslye identifies with Mae.
That's unexpected.
“A satisfactory kill” that the interviewer talks of is the very definition of choosing the path of darkness and enjoying being evil and self serving.
Or as Nietzsche famously said: “He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby becomes a monster. And if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you.”
The interviewer has become her own monster.
The "good guys and bad guys problem" you mentioned at the beginning. That's because the show's writers and production team are tyrannical and degenerated. As a result, the villains in their eyes are just people with decent moral standards.
Leslie Headland literally said she most identifies with the Sith and that this show is about her and her real life sister.
Now a father’s natural instinct to protect is problematic? I guess this is a spoiler for Alteori,
but Darth Vader sacrifices himself to save Luke. Up until that point he’d done nothing to be a good parent, but the instinct to protect his son kicked in, showing that there was some light left in him. Was he taking away Luke’s autonomy by killing the emperor and himself?
Eh. We’ve spoiled her enough. But maybe you should move the spoilers even lower so she would have to click ‘see more’ to actually see it. She is going to watch the movies.
@@V0SRU Good idea. I wasn’t sure if she was actually planning to or not, but just in case
Is a mother's natural instinct to protect and support a son therefore passive sexism too? Hedland sems to make arguments that fall apart instantly as soon as you look at any wider context.
This show’s entire writers room gives off serial killer vibes
Maybe thats why we dont get good starwars. All the good ones are dead😢
More like serial offenders, considering who hired them.
I think the interviewer that was mad at Sol for telling osha, "it's okay" when she was killing him is only upset because she really wants to kill her own father, and is mad that she can't live out her revenge fantasy in all it's brutality.
She's also dating the guy who killed all her friends
The schills in the beginning were so quick to "ship" Osha and Jekki and Osha and Nord in the first half of the season, and then when it's pointed out she is thirsty for her love interests/friends killer... the schills say the critics are making up the relationships. The funny thing is Qimir literally threw the fact that Osha had feelings for Jekki in her face to turn her to the dark side.
@@Jiraiyashouse666 I wonder why no one shipped him with May since she spent more time with him? I mean how did she get off world to even meet him? Who raised her to the age she grew to? Did he see her as a sister but became attracted to the girl with her same face?
@@mizuboni9108 that makes it even weirder!

How is "being a victim of murder" robbing Osha of her agency? Her agency is in the choice to kill him. Just because he accepts his fate means nothing (and that's HIS choice, not hers); she could still quit choking him if she chose not to. He's not choking himself after all. That's got to be the DUMBEST sentence I've ever seen in print. Man, these people are really THAT STUPID, aren't they? Either that, or they think the AUDIENCE is (or both). My brain hurts so much from trying to grasp that bit of idiocy; I'm going to go overdose on aspirin until blood comes out my ears.
The worst part is that they think you're stupid for not recognizing their subtle genius inferences and subcontext.
I was just thinking that. It probably would’ve been better writing if she stopped killing him but still turned evil. Kind of like robbing him of his acceptance. Also her acting in that scene was horrible if they really wanted to make that a hard hitting scene they shouldn’t have hired a wall to act

Also any retelling of a story counts as a fanfic technically if it isn't the original. 99% of Greek mythology you know probably came from Ovid who is Roman and basically wrote a ton of fanfics that became myths to make the gods look worse. Like the most popular version of Medusa’s story is Ovid’s version. Every single retelling of a story like Cinderella?

You could argue the Legend of Zelda franchise is one complex King Arthur fanfic chock full of Oc’s also speaking of King Author. Did you know the entirety of his legend you isn't the original made different authors who liked the original therefore making them fanfics. Like bro you got to understand how dumb of a statement you just mentioned was. Like I understand why you would say this because people will post the unhinged fanfics that should have never been created but then you also have fanfics made by budding writers, professional writers, hobbyist and a host of other people who are just normal found a story they like and then decided to write something up about it.
TLDR; A hilariously large amount of modern media would count as fanfics even classic stories like Cinderella, the most popular telling of Medusa’s myth, and things like Dante’s Inferno.
Yeah Sol feeling the need to protect two kids and Killing the mom because she was killing the kid. Because apparently she was turning into the force. Which means she was killing herself and the kid.

(I guess I wasn't actually that far off with the attack thought, if the intention was actually supposed to be that she was trying to implode and take her kid out with her.) In either case, Sol wouldn't have known what she was trying to do, he only would have known that she was drawing power from the deep end of the dark side (which could only be perceived as an immediate threat).

Wait one second, did she admit that they knew they wanted Sol to be the villain in the end? So they automatically said "Yeah we're gonna kill the foster father" from the very beginning by making him look very predatory in the beginning and kill the witch's mother because she turned to freaking smoke and almost Thanos snapped her daughter.

Leslie says that when the mother was turning to black ghost thing, she was becoming one with the force like Ben Kenobi in a New hope. Thing is that would mean you'd have to die. Since she was taking osha with her that would mean she technically was killing her too. Sol did Osha a favor.

Not thinking out two words you put together before saying them is indicative to how much thought went into writing a script for 8 episodes that had no tangible continuity, both to the Star Wars lore and to the characters that were presented.
It's kind of like Ketchuppy Mustard.
Wouldn't put it past her to try to change the definition of benign in order to fit her narrative.
the problem is that word salad is now mainstream terminology in modern psychology, which has largely been highjacked by feminism. this is how many peer reviewed psychology studies read. it doesn't matter that none of their theories pan out in reality; they preach it like the gospel.
I see no issues with that term, it sounds very appropriate. The issue _I_ have is that on one side, they rail against benign sexism, but then turn around and cry out when they're not benefiting from benign sexism when they want to. It's the hypocrisy that's so utterly disgusting.
(there's plenty more issues, but since this thread is about benign sexism, I'll stick to just that topic 🙃)
@@Wolf-ln1ml The term makes no sense, though - as sexism is not what people would define as being something that is harmless, regardless of which gender is experiencing the sexism.
"Damn my adoptive father didn't even have the decency to grovel and beg for his life as I murdered him!"
I'd make an "are we the baddies?" joke, but I don't think they have the self awareness to even consider how unhinged they sound.
Literally just no just no. A sociopath who is happy with hurting people and see them suffer for their pleasure is not a likable trait in a character
These people are not mentally well how on Earth does Disney even get these people to write Star wars. And they are one who call Lucas a racist and sexist nazi because he didn't hire black people in a country that is mostly white people.
I think we can all agree that we would love an Alterori Rant series.
They try to make the good guys the bad guys, yet even fall at that. Cause the jedi only broke into the witch's home because Sol got a vision of Mae trying to kill Osha with a fire. So they were acting in the belief at least one child was in danger.
you make a great point, as a writer i didn't think i had what it took to write in the female voice so i took time out and did a side project which took 4 years plus some. i did that because i wanted to be respectful and get the authentic perspective. But this, how else are we supposed to take this but think it's an attack and im assuming she's using the JEDI to represent men as a whole. it's bullsh*t! Then they tell the fans to shut up. and now she wants our help. Are they serious?!!
Average SW fan here.....What the mother did was witchcraft BS. Sol's reaction makes perfect sense and was in the right to slain the paranormal activity demon. As for Osha killing Sol....a normal person would grieve and demand answers first. But instead, she went with her unstable emotions and embraced being a psycho like discount Ezra Miller. Lesley and the whole writers room are INSANE radical feminists that took a sh*t on SW.
Like the mom taking over one of the Jedi?
@@audreyharris7643 Not just the leader - but the whole damn coven. (the leader invaded the padawan's mind in order to seduce him and the rest of the coven hijacked the wookie's mind to attack his colleagues).
Literal mind r*pe - yet the coven is seen as the good guys (WTF?)
Every person I've seen do multiple reviews of The Acolyte have slowly with each additional review become more and more exasperated and unhinged about the show. Ten outta ten , would recommend the show to my friends to make them suffer.
You’re a cruel man.
I can drop you some lefty channels that are funny too or watch shills react by glizzy or something comical gold
If that's how you treat your friends remind me to stay on your good side.
Someone who critiques movies should be atl east familiar with the most popular entries since they get referenced all the time. So absolutely watch the old Star Wars movies.
course there is one very slight issue with that. The unavoidable Changes they made to the original movies, that are really really bad. Yet you can no longer really go back and watch the true original movie.
@@chrimsonphantom not to mention that dependiong on where you watch the movie they may have cut "problematic content" or added "content warnings"
Last I saw, she only watched A New Hope. Which, admittedly, hasn't aged as well as the others. Plus she doesn't have patience for old effects. Still say Empire Strikes Back is at least required viewing before deciding on the OT.
I speak a little feminist - "benign sexism" is essentially the same as "white microaggressions" in that it's what you claim when you can't find any actual sexism or racism. Its basically a guarantee that the speaker is what she claims you are.
No, it's the belief that women are completely helpless without men to do things for them.
@@BiggieTrismegistus No, that would just be sexism.
Benign sexism literally translates to harmless sexism. It's nothing but an oxymoron - making the people who coin the phrase unironically look like uneducated morons.
“Benign sexism” effectively translates as “anything I think is sexist even if I can’t really put my finger on why that’s the case.”
So I might be wrong since I've heard this used only with tumors but doesn't bening bassically mean that its noticable and there but not going to become a bigger problem?
@@matijasostojic4288 Something being benign means it's harmless/non threatening.
Benign Sexism is an oxymoron (a figure of speech where two words contradict each other) and the people who use the term and think it means something significant are just morons.
Vader was redeemed after killing Palps, we see Vader's force ghost in the end.
Vader wasn't redeemed. Anakin was.
@@TheAttendee Same difference, i don't subscribe to the "Vader is separate to Anakin" thing.
Then you don't get star wars. @@blacktemplarbrotherlucius1935
And that was fine when Anakin's actions were ambiguous
But after the prequels, where he is portrayed killing a couple dozen Jedi acolytes with a lightsaber, the character is really irredeemable.
And unless Yoda and Ben Kenobi's morals were seriously different than Earth morality, there's no way they would have been standing there looking happy next to him and there's no way he would have been standing there looking happy because he still killed those children.
Does he lack the feelings of guilt simply because he helped kill palpatine
Nerdrotic pointed out that this the writing is basically comedy as they used Manny Jacinto as the eye candy bad boy:
The Power of one - Mae
The Power of two - Osha
The Power of MANNNNNY (Jacinto)
Bit of a shame. Manny Jacinto is a fantastic actor. He's a highlight of The Good Place, a much better show than this.
Paternal protectiveness is 1) not sexist, since ALL parents apply it to ALL children, and 2) not a negative behavior. There's no way to turn it into an act of evil. Maybe protectiveness is overdone or even smothering at times, but it can never be abuse the way Headland and the interviewer want it to be.
>benign sexism
if we're making up terms, im dubbing shit like this "malignant progressivism" from now on
It's not a made up term.
Gourmet Poop
Difference is that your term is actually a thing that exists.
@@madamefluffy4788 never heard of it before, thats news to me
@@sticklyboi I was joking; no such term exists. But considering how much damage some progressive ideology can cause, malignant progressivism should definitely be a thing.
There is another thing. In past several days Sol saved her life at least two times. One in frozen planet, next time when Qimir tried to kill her. And she didn’t even tried to listen to him.
Sounds killable to me 😅
Like the Sequel Trilogy this is Non Canon, if this was a 4 Hour Movie I would say to Lucasfilm that they lost their Freaking Minds in this Crap, it’s just a Terrible Series only to focus of the Feminist Agenda than actual Lore to Star Wars, but instead they Retcon It into something that’s Not, there’s no Love, No Passion, No Thought, No Creativity, No Imagination, No Creativity, No Interesting Character, and No One Thing that makes us believe this was the History that Built the Universe’s Franchise, it’s nothing more than a Soulless Tasteless Sexist Joke that it should have been Scrapped rather than Villainizing the Jedi and Wasting Popular Actor’s Time just to Bait Us like Prey, the Only Decent Things were Mae and the Stranger but in the end it’s a Boring Failure that will be Forgotten.
That pause trying to find good things to say about the show just sent me. Well played.
Stellar Blade gameplay interspersed with Smackolyte footage is a beautiful B-roll backhand slap on the latter. Seeing just HOW much better something can be, and that's even with Stellar Blade not being quite my thing. Holy shit how far the entertainment industry has gone.
The acolyte just proves lm leslie has daddy issues.
Only daddy? Seems she has WAY more. For instance, a complete lack of self-awareness.
Sounds like that is one of maaaaaaannnnnyyyyyyy
Her Sith ways are obvious
I can make it make sense.
16:56 As you noticed in other videos, Sol is written in such a way his actions mirror grooming techniques of child predators. I used to be a teacher in a psychiatric hospital and fully agree, this is how child predators operate and think and justify their actions, but most aren’t SA abusers but emotional abusers as well. Headland wrote Sol specifically to be a stand in for her father. She believes this is how typical father daughter relationships look like. That’s why she thinks going basically no contact is the only way women can live their lives as they want.
Hedland honestly doesn’t understand the difference between healthy parental love, or any love probably, and abuse. That’s why she believed it was a good thing and relatable when 26ish year old Osha actively tried to seduce what was essentially a high school junior from an all girls catholic school. And why it’s deeply moving for her that Osha ended up in a mass murderer who killed that child in front of her just hours before. She’s so broken and evil she can’t understand her understanding of relationships is levels of abuse all the way down.
Good on Disparu for being mentioned by Alteori and making it into the big times! 😆
Benign sexism is just male obligation and responsibility. Like how in the past the reason women needed men to co-sign on credit loans was because creditors were legally barred from suing women if they failed to pay back their debts. Only men could be taken to court. Any time you observe restrictions placed on women in any culture there is always a corresponding obligation placed on men for taking care of those women under those restrictions. Denying men authority in that situation would be like expecting a bodyguard to take responsibility for protecting his client if the client was not legally obligated to follow his safety rules.
One other good thing about the show ... it's over.
Season 2: "You underestimate my *Power* "
the TLDR with Vaders redemption is there was a prophecy of the one who would bring balance to the force. Anakin/Vader was the one who the Prophecy entailed and a Balance in the force isn't equal dark side to light side, word from Lucas himself is the Force in Balance is no dark side at all
Palps is basically Zapping Luke to death and Vader protects his son and kills palps but has his life support suit critically damaged in the process, which turns him back to the Light side since he sacrificed himself to save his son rather than stand by and watch Palps kill him. and its one of those moments where if you know the context with the prequel trilogy it makes the scene so much stronger.
Let's call parental protectionism what it actually is.. being a parent. All that Headland is basically saying is that she is mad because a parent isn't going to let you do whatever you want while you're in their house.
Alteori: lemme let her cook
Alteori a few seconds later: hol up she’s finna burn down the kitchen LET ME COOK
I like the classic Star Wars movies the first 6 is what I mean by classic
That last part.
Welcome to the insanity of Dialectics, Alteori.
They use our words, but not our dictionary.
The thing about star wars is that its a good story that can be told from many different perspectives.
Case and point one particular order is told from several different perspectives over several movies and tv shows.
Beyond that the width of the star wars universe allows for a lot of deep stories. Most of the Disney stuff is about a deep as a puddle.
I was really looking forward to you breaking down this interview.
How they gonna trash on men and fatherhood when all the problems in the show was because of the women? You have the two women doing the cover-ups. You have the mothers and witches who were either messing with people’s heads and turning into smoke monsters or advocating violence as a solution. Then on all that, you have the sister who burnt her home to the ground, trying to game end her sister and later started killing people, starting the events that led to a dozen dead Jedi.
This show gives the opposite message this article is laying out.
Star Wars used to be something that my Dad and I would love and enjoy watching together. To me it was a story about Father and Son. And how a son’s love was able to save his father. Now, I’m glad my dad’s dead so he never has to see what the thing we both loved has become
That article was just them reaching for something non-existent to justify the show being made. The silence when you were thinking was hilarious.
“How do you write women so perfectly?”
“I think of a man, then I remove reason and accountability.”
- As Good As it Gets.
I've seen multiple "media journalists" claiming fans of the acolyte are begging for a season 2. Yes all 6 of them. No one can give an objective opinion online on why does the show deserve a season 2.
Leslye just makes The Acolyte worse with almost every interview she does. Instead of writing a Star Wars story. She made something about her personal issues and we unfortunately subjected ourselves to it. At the end of the day it's her fanfic and a lot of people don't count it as Star Wars lore. I would suggest watching the six Lucas films and just ignore anything Disney.
I get the feeling that the director wanted this show to have the Jedi represent religion, and the Sith to represent a specific community. Which is why they let the main character join the sith to be herself. Wild theory, but I can't find evidence to the contrary. It's worth noting that in the original trilogy the Jedi were inspired by the Knights Templar. The Sith were originally conceived as an army of fanatical soldiers that served the Emperor in the same way that the Schutzstaffel had served the monster in charge of Germany 84 years ago. Not something you let someone join to "be Themselves."
GREAT AITEORI THE ACOLYTE IS SEXISM SERIOUSLY,
But what if you just want to join them to help solve problems... to be part of some kind of solution... a final solution, perhaps. Is that so wrong?!?
I would not be suprised.
People who follow subversive politics always try to side and support of the most evil and worst characters in fiction possible to fight the "status quo."
@@othertalk3313 As a Queer National Socialist, I too agree in a final solution of sorts, right now we're only at the cancelling stage.
I do like the idea (which probably reached its peak in literary Legends days) that the Sith philosophy does appear individualistic from the outside but takes it through the funhouse mirror and out the other side: a Sith essentially becomes proximately addicted to the concept of finding, embracing and celebrating their attachments and identity because this is the necessary prelude to destroying those things and thus "breaking more of their chains", until the hypothetical end goal where they're a hollow shell with devotion to the Sith philosophy dominating simply because it's the thing they're never tried to destroy. A void at its core held together purely by the dispassionate will to do harm, continually struggling to find and hold onto new fuel for hatred to add some life to its existence.
An Alteori-Disparu collaboration would make my year. I watch both of you guys and enjoy your humor thoroughly
Disparu is way out of my league but that's a really flattering compliment 😅. He has my type of humour
I think they wanted to have a theme of "they tried to make the wrong girl a jedi. Mae was always the one stronger in the Light side, and Osha is of the Dark, because they are halves of a whole." Of course, they once again failed to convey that theme in a meaningful way and it just feels like garbled motives.
They botched that up bad. Yet I do kinda like the idea of being Ying and Yang. One good one evil. The good one goes towards the dark side the other towards the light. If they did it right they would find balance in the end. Being neither good or bad but neutral.
@@chrimsonphantom ... I think you've just accidentally justified their stupid "The Force is female" thing. Through this "vergeance" thing they introduced (at least I don't think it was ever a thing before this show?) the twins are "The Force incarnate" but the entire thing couldn't exist within a single body and it turned out as flawed twins instead of one perfect superbeing. (Of course where Disney Star Wars is concerned Rey Palpatine is their female Force incarnate perfect superbeing.)
Star Wars The Acolyte: The 180 Million Mystery.
I would love to hear them explain this whole chain of moments regarding the guilt and murder of Sol.
That movie is making Leslye Headland looks like a sociopath with a completely warped sense of morality.
No one knows what witchy woman was doing when Sol killed her. I wish someone would ask Lessy Headland that.
Crazy enough someone did ask her. and the answer was, the mom was trying to turn herself and mae into the force. Basically killing herself and her daughter.
@@rayvonvelez3129thanks for the reminder of just how evil that woman is. Didn’t even give the birth mother a say in anything.
@@Hollyclown didnt even give the daughter a say in dying
@rayvonvelez3129 wow that is just disgusting... so sol never did anything but stop her from murdering a child? ... And he gets killed by that child's sister, who was the kid he saved at the bridge. WTF! HE SAVED THEM BOTH , ungrateful little turds
I wish Star Trek had the same passionate gatekeeping fanbase Star Wars has
I think it's because star trek has more past movies and shows that are great, that trekkies can go back and enjoy.
@@brentarellano46 So in other words....forget the modern-day shit.
@@xgray2012 well, yeah
Doesn't seem to matter, these people will destroy everything and the fans have no control over any of it.
I wish star wars fans had gatekept. They were too forgiving of Disney star wars and now we've lost star wars altogether.
This next topic is unrelated to Acolyte, but I wanted to mention it. I just finished watching the original 1987 Bates Motel movie (which has nothing to do with the TV series that came out in 2013). While that film was pretty goofy (albeit, cheesy fun), it was far more consistent and entertaining than the entirety of Acolyte, or any of the other Disney-Wars shows. That's how far Disney has sunk Star Wars, to the point that a mostly forgotten failed attempt at a Psycho TV series from nearly 40 years ago is more entertaining than a modern Star Wars show.
It's sad that it reaches the point that as someone not familiar with starwars, you at times need to ask yourself the question of "Is the light side the "good" side?" Because that is something that should be as clear as cliche as it is to say Light good Darkness bad in pretty much any other media, that's how it is in Star Wars, now are there people in either side that can be manipulated/influenced by the other or that make bad mistakes, yes, like in literally everything, no one is perfect. But it should always be clear that the Light side is meant to be the good side and any deviation from being "good" if anything is more about the individual ratter than the cause itself.
I dont think I've ever seen a jedi beg for their life in any star wars thing I've watched. Especially not a jedi master, they think they'll become one with the force, they're not scared. I don't even like jedi but one thing they've never been is bitch made.
They are like the Bushido is to accept death but not defeat
Of course, Leslie wants the line between good and evil skewed. She just feels bad for bringing Harvey all of his tasty little treats.
You don't know whats going on.
The fans don't know whats going on.
The writers don't know whats going on.
19:00 - I feel bad that Alteori can't remember the Padawan (I can't remember his name) who was kicking @$$ in that flashback!
Believe it or not, I've heard that the era this show connects to, The High Republic, is actually worse. They actually do make the Jedi look evil in the comics and books of that era (and it's all Disney stuff, just to be clear).
"Protecting" an adult is also a lot different than *protecting a child.*
I assume Hedlund is talking about Sol killing the girls' mom to save them, and she thinks it's bad because "benign sexism"? Lol really?
Shoutout to Disparu!
That guy’s funny. He’s the reason I realized Leslye is worse than what everyone thought.
I love the acolyte...
... reactions videos.❤ Its been so entertaining watch you (and other channels) suffer these past weeks. 😂
Thank you for your service.
12:43 I had a very well thought out and impressive statement, but then suddenly NIPPLE!
"How dare he just accept the fact she was killing him. He should have tried to fight it so she got some satisfaction from it."
The person who wrote that needs to be locked away. That is some psychopathic stuff.
That's more something the Joker would say, not a healthy adult. Also, what is with writers and journalists micromanaging every little thing characters do? Don't find love. Don't be forgiving. Don't be selfless. Don't be respectful. Don't, don't, don't. It's all about what you have to avoid and scrub away instead of what you can create and nurture.
"To descent to the madness and evil of being capable of murdering a family member.." Idk, sometimes I think these modern "writers" are more "Projecting" than trying to write, or tell a story, their creativity comes from a place of pain, misery and hate, instead of joy, faith, wisdom or instinct.
It's so sad these people get put in charge of large creative projects, Witcher, Rings of Power, Dr Who. Shame.
Give it to some really talented people and oh kith, these things get talked and referenced for a century and maybe more.
I love how the show starts out with Osha after she left the jedi and as we slowly find out what happened and all the effort and sacrifice and death just to allow her to become a jedi......and then one day she's like, I'm out cya, and Sol was like, k byeeeeee.
Pure comedy.
I am reminded of an old country song where the woman completely destroys her boyfriend's car for cheating on her. This celebration of over-reaction seems to be the show runner's mantra.
Before He Cheats by Carrie Underwood, right? Do not go into that song's comment sections if you wanna preserve your sanity.
I just found your channel, and I'm immediately subscribing for this video.
Watch the original trilogy, ignore the rest and you won’t regret it
People who do not have a traditional / conservative relationship with their spouse simply don't understand the dynamics. My wife and I are very traditional by modern standards. I have always been the provider, and she has stayed home with the kids and worked per diem. From the outside it looks like she is submissive to me, but what they don't understand is I provide for, and take care of her, so she can take care of us. That is why the saying: "For every great man, there is a great woman behind him" is incredibly accurate.
Right! And that works for you guys and you are both happy.
Now I'm hearing many women who previously had said that they were Independent Women now want to stay home and don't want to work because it's hard out here. They want to be taken care of and they want men to pay for everything for them to give them a lifestyle of peace and no responsibilities.
The thing that they don't understand is that it is not just you sit home and do nothing unless you decide to go with a sugar daddy arrangement.
You still have responsibilities.
If the guy is going to be outside working 9:00 to 5:00 or doing hard labor, then you're expected to at the very least, cook and clean, since he can't be at home doing that because he'd be too tired, since most of his time is spent outside.
I would say the same thing goes for a woman who works outside.
Right now my uncle, who used to work for Homeland Security, is basically retired.
His wife is still a doctor and she works very long hours so they did agree, even though she didn't have to even ask him for him to cook the food and for him to take care of the kids.
Since their kids are older now he doesn't really have to bother with that, but he does the cooking and he's way better at it, by the way.
They also have enough money that they can hire a maid to clean up on the weekends. But he puts the dishes in the dishwasher he does the vacuuming throughout the week, and he also does the outside work and building because he loves to build. That works well for them.
Sometimes my aunt comes home and she's so exhausted and then she's on call on top of it. So it makes sense that whoever is home is going to be doing some of the housework but a lot of these women who now are saying that they want to be at home and stay at home, don't want to do the housework and just expect that the man is going to work all that time for all those hours outside and then come home and then wait on them like they're servants. But somehow THAT'S not sexism?
Sorry Alteoori, the benign sexism of your video's have taken away my agency in forming my own opinion on the show..... somehow.
All honesty your video's have been great! Thanks!
Leslye Headland’s is definitely venting using the Acolyte
Alteori, ITS SO OLD AND TIRED - it’s, like Star Wars get a new idea without resorting to just “ist:” and “ism’s” as form of attack.
A better idea for a sith focused show might have been to explore various sith myths and legends tied into them. Maybe have a slave using the darkside to break free of captivity... only for their darkside fueled rampage to catch innocent people and even loved ones in the carnage.
Or maybe a ancient noble sith king, who is devoted and loving toward his people and keeping them safe... only to commit atrocities and increasing levels of brutal sacrifice to preserve his people, and his family.
Imagine an anthology of 13 episodes each telling a sith legend or fables... with all the focus on selling these smaller complete narratives.
When you hesitated, I honestly thought the video paused.
Alteori, I watched the original Star Wars trilogy a long time ago, all 3 times. Will happily watch videos of you reviewing the first 3 movies. And would be interested in hearing your take on the next 3 (1,2,3, the prequels ?) as I haven’t ever watched them, just caught the Roman coliseum scene with the heroes tied on top of columns on TV once.
Prequels are not the best but I think they are worth a watch.
That was episode two attack of the clones you were watching.
@@michaelharkins9979 Thanks, good to know which movie it was. I was flipping channels and caught that scene.
its weird how many shoutouts to disparu there have been. I wouldn't mind a panel discussing the acolyte between you, reaper, and Disparu. Though you may want to watch the original movies to prepare for that.
Hey alteori, I'm a big fan of your channel. I really loved your videos on primal I would like to give you show to check out it's called scavengers reign hope you see this
She already reviewed that show
Thanks for letting me know @@Tallacus
That ending tho lol, alteori you go hard girl. Made my day as always ma’am.
I'm still furious that they outright said 'the sith code is about freedom', AND THEN MADE THEM INTO MUSTACHE TWIRLING VILLAINS ANYWAYS!
They're right, the sith code doesn't day ANYWHERE that you have to be evil. Jedi vs Sith isn't good vs evil, it's order vs chaos.
Yep. We have had a number of Sith that actually did good. There was a Sith businessman that treated his workers so good that they were extremely loyal towards him. He did kill a few of them because they accidentally uncovered Sith holocrons but he wound up returning the bodies to their family and paid for the families livelihood until their dying days.
Other than that one act he was pretty chill. He just wanted more knowledge on the past Sith.
@RazielTheUnborn when I was big into SWTOR, I had made a meme that I feel sums it up perfectly.
"You save people because your order demands it. I save people because no one can stop me. We are not the same.'
EXCELLENT WORK. AITEORI THE ACOLYTE SERIES SEXIST AND SKIP WOKE ACTIVISTS
@@TheDapperDragonSWTOR does a better job of making the Jedi villains than this does, what with the Jedi Order being started by a genocide led by a bunch of sociopaths who did it because they saw emotions (especially desire to help others, compassion, and mercy) as weakness (and were jealous because they couldn’t tap the Dark Side at all). Then there are the countless evils performed by the various Jedi in the different storylines because they don’t see anyone but Jedi as people.
“Peace is a lie, there is only passion
Through passion I gain strength
Through strength I gain power
Through power I gain victory
Through victory my chains are broken
The force shall free me”
This is the code of the Sith - and this pathetic excuse for a television show doesn’t understand it *at all!* A Sith has an underlying strength of character, a sense of purpose and focus on what he believes and desires: the characters in this production have none of that - they seem to be more like caricatures of what people who don’t really understand the Sith *think* a Sith is.
I found your channel after watching disparu acolyte vids, so its nice to hear you to recommend him.
I highly recommend him myself
