Don't be a cunt and may the Force be with you
New general since last one hit bump limit.

>>2737>>42791>>42765This scene right here is what convinced everyone that The Acolyte is shit.
Keep in mind the context that they were building up these space witches dark and mysterious and this was their super holy and secretive religious rituals that they used to induct new members as witches.
>>42855>>42863Tony Gilroy said he dislikes Star Wars which is exactly is why Andor turned surprisingly good.
The rest of the Disney stuff is unwatchable. I thought Asokha started strong completely dropped last in the last episodes.
>>42866>Tony GilroyTony Gilroy is a pretentious arse. Andor isn't good, people just think so because, as you said, the rest of Disney content is unwatchable. Obviously garbage is going to appear better when compared against dogshit.
>>42855No, the Director was obsessed with Star Wars but if I recall correctly she specifically hired at least one writer that knew absolutely nothing about Star Wars.
>>42862 >Waaaah you can't be critical of my shitty show and call out my post as reddit-garbage! Y-you must be le 4chan/[insert liberal boogieman site]Honey, this is leftypol, a korean nuke-selling forum that has never shied away from being direct about opinions, stop being a fag or piss off.
<didn't readJust like a /pol/ak, how interesting…
>>42902Seems like it's leading to a cover-up which would be a phenomenally bad way to resolve the conflict
Honestly this whole ordeal could've been avoided if the Master was a Knight of Ren instead of a Sith - would've been a good excuse to give the faction some worldbuilding (like, any at all) plus we wouldn't have to constantly be asking "okay but how do we resolve this so TPM makes sense?"
>>42910GUESS WHO JUST GOT BACK TODAY
THEM WILD EYED THEMS WHO HAD RAN AWAY
HAVENT TOO MUCH TO QUANDER
BUT DAMN I STILL THINK THEM CATS LIKED ANDOR
>>42915>but massive boomers about the pink hair SJWs like making a joke about tearing down every single statue.>but massive boomers nou
>tearing down every single statuetwitter idpol radlab bad
>>42917>boomers>nouHow? I'm for tearing down the statues and being inclusive and diverse. They were saying da youfs are a bunch of twitter idpol radlibs and the media is pandering to that because it's a big market. (The real reason is that
controversy sells, and if you get twitter libs and twitter reactoids talking about it you get lots of free advertising)
>>42918blaming a boogieman is the most hoomer thing you can dew.
>I'm for tearing down the statues and being inclusive and diverse.gay.
we need resurrect the slaves and then shoot them down again. that is only way to get past block blacks trauma team
>inclusive and diverseok nothing to dew with there joke tho
>>43030I think the biggest contributor to what you're talking about (aside from the poor writing) is that each episode ends with a very obvious, unnatural cliffhanger. There's actually a lot happening in most episodes, but there's always something very abrupt at the end to artificially raise the tension, which almost always goes nowhere:
>Episode 1: Mae approaches someone wielding a lightsaber. This scene goes nowhere.>Episode 2: A grizzled, angry wookiee roars at trespassers. This scene goes nowhere.>Episode 3: Mae stumbles out of the wreckage of her dead family and walks to the tree where she and her sister sat together. This scene has not gone anywhere yet.>Episode 4: A Sith attacks the Jedi with a shockwave. This scene is followed up from someone else's perspective, with an unclear focus and the fight off-screen & halfway finished.>Episode 5: Osha, left for dead, is rescued by the Sith. This is thankfully followed up immediately, but slowly.>Episode 6: Osha puts on a helmet and is…scared of the dark?People love to deflect criticism like this towards any show with "wow, the internet is ruining everyone's attention spans!" but the fact is that these cliffhangers are an explicit decision by the writers baked into each episode to artificially keep up our interest when there are better ways to do that.
>>43090I honestly wonder if some of the "anti-woke" outrage machine grifters aren't secretly on Disney's payroll. People acting like Disney Star Wars is the Communist Manifesto 2 only really serve to give a radical, subversive edge to soulless corporate products.
Speculation over ideological motivation can serve as cover for bad writing. If Rey is a radical feminist Mary Sue, then The Force Awakens can't just be suffering from your typical Hollywood protagonist syndrome where the writers are afraid to let anyone but the hero move the plot forward. If the conversation around the coven is that they're diverse lesbian communists or whatever, it isn't on the fact that they're poorly written and their big ceremony was laughably hokey.
>>43108In my opinion the Acolyte has woke libshit stuff in it, but it's more superficial pandering than anything else, the real problem is that the story is aimless ass, most of the actors are terrible, and so on. You can't even make the fallacious "it's for kids" argument, because the nudity and violence is definitely not "for kids" material.
It's just boring, poorly written crap with liberal performative ideology slathered on top.
>>43135“Sol? What happened?”
“Your mother turned into a smoke monster and tried to disintegrate your sister. We think she was trying to use you two for a Get Out scheme. Have you seen that movie? It’s really good, you should check it out. Anyways, the other witches tried to do the same to Kelnacca. I stopped your mother and the other witches sort of…died? I think there was supposed to be nuance to this tragedy but the ritual sacrifice stuff is really hard to overlook.”
>>43307In all fairness, maybe I missed something but I don't think she knew Jecki for that long. But she
was friends with Yord back in the day, so the point still stands.
With how quickly Bazil attempted to kill Sol for apparently no reason, I think THEY were the Sith Lord.
>Also random Darth Plagus cameo woopty fuckin dooThe sad part is that Lee Jung-Jae's heartfelt performance in the finale will probably be overshadowed by this cameo that didn't really add much of anything.
I wanna say the finale wasn't that terrible but every time I've said the same about the rest of the episodes a day later I'll find myself like Statler and Waldorf realizing what a mess it was
