Just gonna say if you clicked on this hour-long video of me ripping into this show as one of the worst pieces of Star Wars ever made, and the first 3 minutes where I defend one tiny thing about it has somehow convinced you I like the show, you’re an idiot. I’m not being nice about this one. I’ve gotten too many of these comments. If you watched the opening and concluded that I like The Acolyte you’re a fucking moron.

To add onto this, I actually love how most of the Ki-Adi-Mundi disagreements are just, “Oh you think it’s silly that fans are mad about his birthday? Uh, no, they’re mad about this other thing that you didn’t actually disagree with.” Like no, there were people mad about the birthday thing. That specifically why I mentioned THAT criticism, and not the one you THINK I’m making fun of that I actually agree with.

I’m just asking you guys to think about things before just getting mad and assuming I’m making points that I’m not so you can get mad at them.

Acolyte joins the now concerningly large group of shows in which “if the character correctly explained the situation the story would break” is a dangerous drinking game.

The Acolyte poisoned my water supply, burned my crops, and delivered a plague upon my house.

The shot of Plagueis reaching out of the cave like some kind of cryptid found footage is some top tier Star Wars comedy.

The Acolyte jammed my glove compartment shut so that when a police officer pulls me over for speeding and asks for my registration, I’d be unable to open it and they would arrest me

I am definitely going to get a bumper sticker saying Kathleen Kennedy Sold My Cat For Fentanyl.  That’s a hilarious line

Sheev after the first two episodes: eh, its not so awful

Sheev right after: I am no longer sober.

To paraphrase Trey Parker and Matt Stone: "In a bad story, this happens and then that happens. In a good story, this happens because that happens."

After Acolyte my disabled neighbour finally got up and went out the window

This show really said: “if you see two children who are seemingly being abused, stay out of it! Because YOU are the bad guy for interfering!”

Disney loves making Anakin less and less special. First, his sacrifice was rendered null and void after bringing back Palpatine, and now, we find he's not unique in being born by the force.

As soon as she cut her hair off with the Lightsaber, I was waiting for Sol to ask “ hey do you smell burnt hair?”

The whole thing about the Jedi killing the witches gives me a weird "the government is wrong to take my kid away from me when I'm abusing them and calling it homeschooling" vibe and I'm not about it. The writers on this show really should have thought about what they were saying with their writing a bit more. (And to be clear, I'm not against homeschooling as a concept, my sister was homeschooled for many years and it's the only way she would have gotten a decent education. But I also can't deny that some homeschool is just abuse in a trench coat.)

First they stole your kidneys, then your cat, now they are starving your children 😢 my condolences

Solely referring to Qimir as "Jason" is my favorite bit of the year

It's crazy how powerful they made Smylo Ren.

In Knights of The Old Republic, it took the ENTIRE Jedi Council to erase Revans memory...
And yet, here's just Smylo doing the same with very low effort.

Ok I don’t wanna get into it but as a victim of SA, thank you for calling out how this show handled that topic!! I felt so sick watching that scene you mentioned but i wasn’t able to figure out why until you pointed it out. A lot of ppl shy away from this topic cuz it’s uncomfortable, and I understand why, but I massively appreciate you covering it with respect it deserves. You’ve earned a subscriber :)

"Wait for context" is the same shit as the orange alien saying "Good question, for another time" and then it never came.

i would make a joke about a cw live action version of this show but tbh i think that would be better than what we got

The Acolyte killed not just the men but the women and the children too.
