The Acolyte from Leslye Headland

Wait, you can actually block recommendations?
That's a real boomer moment I'm having.

Yeah, click on the dots and "don't reccomend this channel" is an option.

 

[Sithborg]

Come on Headlund, give it to me.

Spoilered out of respect for @DarthSkywalker

There's no bounds to how embarrassing people feeding the Youtube hate system are. This person hasn't seen the episodes but they've already queued up a negative headline for their live review. Nothing but good-faith arguments ahead, I'm sure.

This was scheduled all the way back on May 17th. Not even trying to hide that he didn't see the episodes before making their conclusions. It's so blatant.

I just found out about an awful YouTube channel called Nerdrotic Daily, which seems that it literally only exists to bash movie and TV diversity and absolutely only talk crap in each and every one of their videos. It's truly the lowest form of cinema related content one can find. Can't remember seeing something like that again.

Bless your prior innocence. To look at one of those videos is to stare into the void itself. I wouldn't wish that on anyone, but the reality of this section of humanity must be acknowledged I guess.

I do wonder, how many that will be complaining about the portrayal of the Jedi in this series were also Traviss fandalorians...

[Gee]

Reviews are out.

The Acolyte

Master Sol's (Lee Jung-jae) investigation of Jedi murders brings him into contact with his former padawan (Amandla Stenberg) in the live-action Star Wars series set 100 years before "The Phantom Menace."

When does this release? Didn’t realise it was soon till someone mentioned it recently. Hopefully will be free to watch it live.

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

Can't wait for this but gonna give it a few weeks until a few episodes are out before I start it.

Great, thanks.

Guess it was inevitable for new ******* channels to pop up on my reccomendations on youtube. Just a fresh batch of blocking.

Reading through comments from people who've seen it, it sounds very average and it looks like I will be skipping this show.

Especially since I read some spoilers floating around from the next few episodes and it seems some major things that were previously canon by GL will be "redefined".

That's how you bury a beloved franchise to the ground, Disney. No wonder the RT audience scores and IMDB ratings are plummeting.

They will probably get even worse in the next few weeks.

Yes. A very reliable metric that definitely doesn't reflect anything else.

I can assure you, the number of people upset about Darth Tenebrous may be vocal, but they are very, very small.

Star Wars: The Acolyte audience score is being reviewed bombed but the imdb audiences are higher. I guess for tv shows to get more of a view what audiences think you have to go to imdb since rt does not have verified audience scores like the big screen movies.

The Acolyte imdb scores
Episode 1
6.5.

Episode 2
6.4

It looks like the grifters use the audience scores on rt when it goes their way but ignore imdb scores.

 

[mace1]

By the way i see some of these grifters saying the hand to hand combat scenes are slow.
What the heck they are talking about?
The hand to hand fight scenes are the fastest and the best i have ever seen in star wars.
Anyway it's really good show.

One thing I've learned with entertainment in my many years as a fan is never let what other people say out you off watching something.

Prime example, I loved the Obi-Wan Kenobi show and am currently re-watching it on 4K disc. Yet parts of the internet hate the show.

The Acolyte I am just waiting for a few more episodes to come out before I start it.

 

[henzINNIT]

My expectations were dulled by the trailers. Can't deny it. Still curious but I'll wait until it's over and check the temperature then (standard procedure for Disney shows tbh).

The Acolyte takes a hit with its audience scores, but its Rotten Tomatoes approval rating paints a different picture.

Absolutely tired of the grifters out to ruin Star Wars for everyone. Just finished the first 2 episodes and they were great! Really tired of these people screaming over women, non-straight sexualities or POC as leads in stuff. It's getting old.
