I can tell you why she puts the helmet on. Leslye wanted the same "OH MY GOD!" feeling in her show, as we had in the "Revenge of the Sith" with Darth Vader for the first time breathing in the mask. This whole story writing is an insult to anyone with even half a right mind.
The only thing I found slightly kool about that scene. Is that from the outside she looks menacing, but from the inside she sounds as just a scared child, which in reality is kind of a metaphor on all Sith. Many of them are just children in adult bodies, unable to understand/control their emotions and so they end up lashing out in anger and fear. But if they intentionally meant to visualize that I’m sure they could have done it better, that’s just my headcannon 😋
This thing is a trainwreck. Poorly developed characters, an incomprehensible script, and a staggering cost per 30 minute episodes. It destroys canon, power levels are all over the place, and the protagonists seem schizophrenic. Disney has killed Star Wars and mutilated it's corpse. I saw the OG in theaters as a teen and remember it was a world wide phenomenon. Now, I just can't...😢
At least a trainwreck has a moment of spectacle. This is more like a non-descript train just going around in a loop, occasionally slowing down and stopping for no reason....
I liked Brie Larsons acting. I thought all those complainers were full of shit. The Marvels was a great film and the story was and writing was pretty good too.
@@Sevenfold120 They are monsters but no where near the level referenced in this comment string. Monster is absolutely the correct word to describe someone who calls someone horrible names for not liking a movie or TV show.
Dead on with the critique of the boring performances. They're incapable of writing colored characters. And I don't mean skin color! Though that's all they obsess about.
Stenberg said in an interview that she had trouble keeping track of which character she was portraying. It's probably for the best that she can't act, else it would have probably been more confusing.
You mentioned Portugal. I was just in Lisbon for a week but a fortnight ago. For me as an American transplant in Sweden the flight from Stockholm was 4.5 hrs. I get it that it’s a much bigger operation if you’re in the States but still. Lisbon was awesome. So nice, historical, friendly, English is widely spoken at least in the city. It’s not a small children family destination. Walking around the city - which you absolutely should do - is all about climbing hills. I guess it’s kinda like Europe’s San Francisco, not that I have ever been so San Francisco. I’m 53 and married so I don’t sample the clubbing scene but you can pub crawl for craft beer if that’s your jam. Also, most European cities have a small but vibrant English stand-up scene and those are always a hoot. And yeah The Acolyte suuuuucks. It’s amazing to me that a studio gave an amateur 180 MILLION DOLLARS and apparently with no oversight. I have to wonder how long this is sustainable.
Also on X. Someone gave episode 3 8.5/10. My comment was 1- which substance did you use? 2- I said 85% of the episode was a repeat. 3- I watched shows on different levels and this show I watched with the lowest bar possible. Stenberg’s acting is worse than high school where people had to create a play and the acting was wooden. She has no range.
Yep, writers that can't help but let the clichés and verbiage of our world seep into the Star Wars universe. Some brands take this stuff seriously, obviously Lucasfilm, under Disney just doesn't. Sadly, it will only get worse, the people in charge of this will do a lot more damage before unceremoniously burying it,
Ha, ha, ha, "The force is female", the thing as written by women, directed by woman, produced by a woman and the BEST thing about the show is a...GUY. Ha, ha, ha, ha
I still cant comprehend how terrible Leslie's wife performance is. Amanda, well she is young. A lot of rich kids in Hwood are terrible at acting. But that green thing, she had time in other projects. And I swear, the only way she could still be getting work if she was say a wife of Harvey's assisstant.
Can we please understand that Sol, who is a Jedi master, cannot notice the difference between the Force-trained Mae and the former Padewan Osha who lacks almost all Force power?
Next in Episode 7: After donning the Cortosis Helmet, Osha discovers she now is infested with head lice and must shave her precious dreadlocks. Oh, the power of many...
When they show Jecki on the ground... WHERE ARE THE 3 HUGE LIGHTSABER HOLES THAT KILLED HER? The robe looks pristine. Intimacy consultants were hired, but they forgot continuity people.
I know 3 holes in her, they just felt the need to overkill the character? Guess what I didn't care at all. Never mind just leaving all of the bodies or even saying a single word on the loss of everyone.
OMG I love the review, I just could not quit laughing. But there were a couple of times I thought you might find a wall and hit your head on it. Thank you for watching this for us, I know it is very hard.
For there to be little to no reaction to seeing multiple Jedi dead( which at this point is unprecedented at this time) is mind boggling to me. It makes no sense! This is supposed to be the peak of the Orders’ might and everyone is walking around like this is a normal day.
Ah yes…agree totally and with flights, accommodation, expenses and entertainment it’s expensive…the left overs were used to make Acodyke…Disney Star Wars trash..oh except for what Lez pocketed 🤫
23:51 Osha being “corrupted and tempted” was literally like a college girl pretending like she’s not gonna give it up at the end of the night…. “Okay you can come over but we’re not gonna have 🍆 okay!” Like the whole episode was “I can’t see you, but follow me 🫣 oh there’s the ship, ohh but the waters wet… darn. Here’s my back, what? U want to know bout my back… we’ll since u asked 🥴 oh here’s a helmet, u know u want it, be right back I’ll leave u alone with it 🤫🫣”. *wakes up in morning* Osha ready for the walk of shame…. “It was just supposed to be Netflix Sol, he promised 💁♀️” Literally that’s what it reminded me of, a girl being delusional and playing games when she already knows the outcome of the night 🙄 wow compelling story 2 episodes left and I don’t even know what we’re aiming at for the end plot anymore 🤣 what’s the point of all this? To figure out what happened on Brendok? Trying to stop Sith? Like what are we doing right now I honestly have no clue anymore😅
They don't even get that Vader's suit assists his breathing because of burnt lungs. Or that it's hermeticly sealed because of his burns, to stop infection. They just have her breathing like Vader because??

Valiant, this 'presentation' absolutely had me crying tears of joy, tears of sadness, tears of tears and had me searching the set/scene behind & around Osha, looking for the Oak Chest filled with rubber (Expression) masks! Clearly, whoever was assigned to put the (Artificial) Oak chest (made of metallised India Rubber) next to the (Latex) Plywood box containing Osha's wigs, and forgetting to brush the 7 main hair-strands of the wig-mask collection, was absolutely HILARIOUS!! That my friend (I'd suggest) is gonna get you an award straight-out of the Bowels of the stunningly Scenic (Douglas Fir) box containing the Miniature-Wookie, Glued-on laugh-lines and Eyebrows extensions for Series 7 (17 years on from now) and I'm telling ya, it will draw no less an award for set direction at the next Oscars Show! Your commentary, added to the tears already shed, on Bob Igers new Shower-curtain design (Top-floor 2nd left Steel fire-door) and will just add to the rust covering the stainless steel double-toilet!

How did this cost $180M? Did they pay $100M to DEI consultants or something? (yeah, yeah, the entire show is a DEI hire). The budgeting in modern (Disney) shows hurt my business heart.
I have seen a South African sci fi show , with somehow better acting. A bladdy character in my image and named after me is not even this bad. It cost about $300 per episode to make.
They apparently included indigenous women’s voices from all over the world in the witches’ chants and that doesn’t come cheap. Besides, Leslye and her wife undoubtedly had a lovely time shooting in London and on location in Portugal.
If there's anything worth saving from this show, I believe Lee Jong-jae's career is it. The man is clearly giving his all and I hope he rises past this show to take part in better projects than this show.
So I had some of the same reactions you had. The fact that Mae went from "Im done with this shit, I have my sister back, Im turning myself in" to "Im going to impersonate Osha, leave her on the planet, maybe shes dead or some cockroaches will eat her and then Im going to kill Sol" made my head spin. Who wrote that? Then once again the Jedi temple made me question how the Jedi even rose to power in the first place. Looks like a bunch of adolescents running the place. Nobody even looks powerful. These are the same Jedi who are descended from the Jedi who crushed the Sith? I get that they havnt faced sith in generations but neither did the Jedi in the prequels and they looked like fucking Jedi. And then Master greenskin, a Jedi Master, says she gets sick while flying through space. Lmao, a Jedi fucking master gets sick sitting in a ship in space. In fucking Space. In a ship that has stabilizers and inertia dampeners. She wouldnt fucking feel a thing unless flying through atmosphere. How does a Jedi Master get "car sick". "Take the wheel Osha". My god. There is no fucking wheel. Then she proceeds to sit down like she wasnt just about to kill him. Just follows his orders blindly. But then expertly pilots the vehicle. How does she even know what buttons to press. Honestly, flying that ship has to be as difficult as most heavy machines today. You need to have some kind of training on that spaceship. Its not like a car. They are not all the same.
Can anyone , please anyone explain to me how the series cost $180 millions while Godzilla minus one cost $14 millions ????? WTH gets all the extra money ?
I heard Lee learned English for this. He such a good actor probably the best on the set. Sucks that the script was bad but he made it work. Can’t wait to see him in other shows/movies. As for the show….well it’s a show. MEI needs to push out DEI from companies.
At this point, as to the mystery of where all the money went to. I wouldn't be surprised if there was a hired DEI consultancy team for every group. A diversity consultant for the cameraman, a diversity consultant for the actor, a diversity consultant for the writer, a diversity consultant for the janitor, a diversity consultant for the catering, a diversity consultant for the unpaid intern.
I am convinced that actors with an extensive theater resume are far better at showing emotion than those that start out on film or TV. Long ago animators discovered subtle movements and expression get lost. These have to be exaggerated to come across on screen. Disney animators discovered this when they started using rotoscoping. Stage acting you need your expressions to come across to the people in the back, both physical and vocal. In TV and film, you have no idea the size of screen. What looks good close up to the director on set may not translate to screen. When watching back the dailies, the director might not notice the suppressed performance because of the memory of their live performance up close. I lavy most of the performance issues on the direction. Of course, bad writing doesn't help anyone. Just my thoughts.
Darth Vader could feel the force emanating from OB Wan on the death star, a space station the size of a small moon! Yet this Jedi master can't tell the difference between twins where one does not use the force and the other does while the twin is right behind him? He sensed her there, but he could not feel that it is not Osha? Wow, what a dumb Jedi! Or maybe that is the whole point, to make them look stupid.
This woman couldn't act her way out of a kindergarden screenplay, let alone a multi million TV show... she has the exact same facial expressions and tone as.... what's her name in Twilight. She had a lot of practice taking it in the face, if she had any connection with Hedland and Weinstein in the past
The biggest thing is a Jedi master would absolutely sense the dark side vs the light side. When she’s behind him, that’s full on dark side. He would’ve felt it. So dumb the AI generated show is.
Everyone who has watched every episod of this should get the *Purple Heart* and maybe also the *Medal of Honor,* for taking a bullet for the rest of us.
It continues. The only thing I look forward to are the reviews (top notch reviews by honest UA-camrs; heartfelt, compelling, humorous, and preferable to the lies published by Rotten Tomatos or the various shill websites).
Yes must be deadpan - she has to have little range - that’s the rule - she definitely can’t smile etc. that wouldn’t be girl boss - she has to be cold, uncaring and mostly unphased- except for anger because that’s their perception of being powerful/tough- and given the show this has to occur even more so towards men
"Activism is a way for useless people to feel important, even if the consequences of their activism are counterproductive for those they claim to be helping and damaging to the fabric of society as a whole." Thomas Sowell
The mental gymnastics required to solve why the Korean Jedi couldn’t detect May could solve the unified field theory i.e. theory of everything. In short, it was May’s latent lesbian thread force combined with smilo ren’s esoteric wisdom and synthesized by the lesbian witches power of many incantation.
I think I solved the mystery…. None of these people ever watched Star Wars, but they did see Star Trek. They think the Jedis are Vulcans so they aren’t allowed to show any emotion in their performances. OR…. shit show
"I don't know where the money got pi$$ed away" - I'll tell ya. They moved an entire entourage to the Canary Islands to film one scene and then they all partied like it was 1999. And then on to the next exotic location.
Central to this entire show is that there is no good or evil, it’s all a matter of perspective. Moral relativism is a central trait of the standard sociopath. Leslye Headland, for example.
Funny how everything Lucas released in the last 30 years has been trashed mercilessly by the media - including RED TAILS, but each new Disney Star Wars product is praised as the best thing since breathable air! Surely it can't be that Disney are paying off these "entertainment journalists" can it?
In fairness, I've seen her in a few things and Sternberg, isn't that bad an actress. The problem is the writing and the directing is appalling. They're trying to make her character menacing, and brooding, but it's just not coming off. For starters, she looks like she's on the verge of smiling all the time. In fact, she kind of has the Disney wammmmmmen, girl boss, Holdo, "I'm so much better than you, pleb," look. That's not imposing, staunch, or dignified at all.
100% The writing and directing is just straight up amateurish - there is literally zero character development, a convoluted yet almost non existent plot and laughable dialogue. With the $180M budget they had they should have just filmed it as a movie and split it up into a handful of episodes which move the story along in a significant way instead of the disjointed 8 episodes only containing about 25 minutes of content (which realistically comes out to about 6 minutes of actual plot per episode). It’s frankly embarrassing
The dumbest part of the naked scene, other than that it happened, was that they didnt even try to have an excuse to justify it. They could've had it so that he was tending the wounds he got from the previous fight after the giant insects swarmed him, and needed to wash their guts off of him. Also, I love how Osha tries to threaten Smylo by saying how powerful Master Sol is, like Smylo didn't just obliterate 5 knights and padawns single handed in the last episode, and kill another master off screen in the one before that.

@@exomake_mehorololo That Disney money is a powerful persuader. Hopefully he gets out of this mostly unscathed.
So I had some of the same reactions you had. The fact that Mae went from "Im done with this shit, I have my sister back, Im turning myself in" to "Im going to impersonate Osha, leave her on the planet, maybe shes dead or some cockroaches will eat her and then Im going to kill Sol" made my head spin. Who wrote that?
Then once again the Jedi temple made me question how the Jedi even rose to power in the first place. Looks like a bunch of adolescents running the place. Nobody even looks powerful. These are the same Jedi who are descended from the Jedi who crushed the Sith? I get that they havnt faced sith in generations but neither did the Jedi in the prequels and they looked like fucking Jedi.
And then Master greenskin, a Jedi Master, says she gets sick while flying through space. Lmao, a Jedi fucking master gets sick sitting in a ship in space. In fucking Space. In a ship that has stabilizers and inertia dampeners. She wouldnt fucking feel a thing unless flying through atmosphere. How does a Jedi Master get "car sick".
"Take the wheel Osha". My god. There is no fucking wheel. Then she proceeds to sit down like she wasnt just about to kill him. Just follows his orders blindly. But then expertly pilots the vehicle. How does she even know what buttons to press. Honestly, flying that ship has to be as difficult as most heavy machines today. You need to have some kind of training on that spaceship. Its not like a car. They are not all the same.
The rare moment of amandla stenberg showing emotion is when her robot finishes in her eye
When I heard her do the Darth Vader breathing after she put on the helmet I couldn't help but laugh. So pathetic. No originality at all.
The Acolyte is the most successful Disney series of all time (according to some press reports which are definitely not shills)
Can anyone , please anyone explain to me how the series cost $180 millions while Godzilla minus one cost $14 millions ????? WTH gets all the extra money ?
In fact, Godzilla minus one according to the director costs about $12-13 millions, with the consensus amongst fans it's under $13 millions.
They must have had a hell of a party 💰🤣🍻
I heard Lee learned English for this. He such a good actor probably the best on the set. Sucks that the script was bad but he made it work. Can’t wait to see him in other shows/movies. As for the show….well it’s a show. MEI needs to push out DEI from companies.
At this point, as to the mystery of where all the money went to. I wouldn't be surprised if there was a hired DEI consultancy team for every group. A diversity consultant for the cameraman, a diversity consultant for the actor, a diversity consultant for the writer, a diversity consultant for the janitor, a diversity consultant for the catering, a diversity consultant for the unpaid intern.
Disney STAR WARS took the SHlT out of the sewer and tries to sell it to you as entertainment.
💩💩💩🧻🧻🧻
Seems about right, because only coprophages like this shit.
I am convinced that actors with an extensive theater resume are far better at showing emotion than those that start out on film or TV. Long ago animators discovered subtle movements and expression get lost. These have to be exaggerated to come across on screen. Disney animators discovered this when they started using rotoscoping.
Stage acting you need your expressions to come across to the people in the back, both physical and vocal. In TV and film, you have no idea the size of screen. What looks good close up to the director on set may not translate to screen. When watching back the dailies, the director might not notice the suppressed performance because of the memory of their live performance up close. I lavy most of the performance issues on the direction. Of course, bad writing doesn't help anyone. Just my thoughts.
I love the Acolyte, it's the best SW parody since Spaceballs! They even got their own Lord Helmet!
So where exactly did the 200 million dollars go on this show ....?
That looks like it cost 5 bucks .....
The got one thing right in Acolyte and that is lightsabers kill, unlike in Kenobi and Ashoka.
Darth Vader could feel the force emanating from OB Wan on the death star, a space station the size of a small moon! Yet this Jedi master can't tell the difference between twins where one does not use the force and the other does while the twin is right behind him? He sensed her there, but he could not feel that it is not Osha? Wow, what a dumb Jedi! Or maybe that is the whole point, to make them look stupid.
That green thing must be the real Sith.
It was said years ago by a movie critic about another actress, but it deserves to be remembered, "She can show emotions ranging from A to C."
Has anyone thought that this insane budget with nothing to show for it, is really just two girls embezzling all the money?
Can i sue Disney for another 30 mins of my life im never going to get back.
I guess it only takes 15 min to travel to anywhere in the galaxy.
This woman couldn't act her way out of a kindergarden screenplay, let alone a multi million TV show... she has the exact same facial expressions and tone as.... what's her name in Twilight.
She had a lot of practice taking it in the face, if she had any connection with Hedland and Weinstein in the past
The biggest thing is a Jedi master would absolutely sense the dark side vs the light side. When she’s behind him, that’s full on dark side. He would’ve felt it. So dumb the AI generated show is.
15:47 the acting from the women is exactly how F-n-ists act without the eye rolls they give us in real life
Everyone who has watched every episod of this should get the *Purple Heart* and maybe also the *Medal of Honor,* for taking a bullet for the rest of us.
It continues. The only thing I look forward to are the reviews (top notch reviews by honest UA-camrs; heartfelt, compelling, humorous, and preferable to the lies published by Rotten Tomatos or the various shill websites).
Yes must be deadpan - she has to have little range - that’s the rule - she definitely can’t smile etc. that wouldn’t be girl boss - she has to be cold, uncaring and mostly unphased- except for anger because that’s their perception of being powerful/tough- and given the show this has to occur even more so towards men
"Activism is a way for useless people to feel important, even if the consequences of their activism are counterproductive for those they claim to be helping and damaging to the fabric of society as a whole." Thomas Sowell
It’s crazy that Amanda showed more range in her diss video than in the series that was created for her.
The mental gymnastics required to solve why the Korean Jedi couldn’t detect May could solve the unified field theory i.e. theory of everything. In short, it was May’s latent lesbian thread force combined with smilo ren’s esoteric wisdom and synthesized by the lesbian witches power of many incantation.
Yeah, we thought they were singing "the power of manyyyyy" but in fact they were saying "the power of Mannyyyy".
Valiant renegade mentioned "Canary Islands" in Portugal at 1:25. Those islands are in Spain, not Portugal. My ancestors come from there.
The Acolyte is an absolute sithshow..
Exactly when did Osha receive her training in engineering and repairing spacecraft
Disney Star Wars
that was the "job" she got when she washed out of Jedi academy.
I think I solved the mystery…. None of these people ever watched Star Wars, but they did see Star Trek. They think the Jedis are Vulcans so they aren’t allowed to show any emotion in their performances. OR…. shit show
😆🤣
"I don't know where the money got pi$$ed away" - I'll tell ya. They moved an entire entourage to the Canary Islands to film one scene and then they all partied like it was 1999. And then on to the next exotic location.
They don't believe in the balance of contraries... Light and Dark, Good and Bad. Creativity and Destruction.
Central to this entire show is that there is no good or evil, it’s all a matter of perspective.
Moral relativism is a central trait of the standard sociopath. Leslye Headland, for example.
Ejacalyte pumped into weary eyes
Funny how everything Lucas released in the last 30 years has been trashed mercilessly by the media - including RED TAILS, but each new Disney Star Wars product is praised as the best thing since breathable air! Surely it can't be that Disney are paying off these "entertainment journalists" can it?
That girl of a man being a Jedi is the final straw for me
In fairness, I've seen her in a few things and Sternberg, isn't that bad an actress. The problem is the writing and the directing is appalling. They're trying to make her character menacing, and brooding, but it's just not coming off. For starters, she looks like she's on the verge of smiling all the time. In fact, she kind of has the Disney wammmmmmen, girl boss, Holdo, "I'm so much better than you, pleb," look. That's not imposing, staunch, or dignified at all.
100%
The writing and directing is just straight up amateurish - there is literally zero character development, a convoluted yet almost non existent plot and laughable dialogue.
With the $180M budget they had they should have just filmed it as a movie and split it up into a handful of episodes which move the story along in a significant way instead of the disjointed 8 episodes only containing about 25 minutes of content (which realistically comes out to about 6 minutes of actual plot per episode).
It’s frankly embarrassing
My favorite Sternberg performance was the dis track when she was pushing her no-no into the camera. Fine piece of work.
@@PondoSinatra680 truly high art coming from a half danish multimillionaire that was born into privilege
Another solid critical review.
Wasn't that anti-lightsaber bs metal incredibly hard to work and there for rarely used? But now you can work it with your pocket-torch....
He sensed her behind his back, but failed to sense that she wasn't Osha. He wasn't sensitive enough.
May putting on the mask at the end got me 😂😂😂😂
Why would they think hiring writers that have no idea what Star Wars is would be successful?
This review is the best! The "garbage" Acolyte seriously broke Valiant 😂
The dumbest part of the naked scene, other than that it happened, was that they didnt even try to have an excuse to justify it. They could've had it so that he was tending the wounds he got from the previous fight after the giant insects swarmed him, and needed to wash their guts off of him. Also, I love how Osha tries to threaten Smylo by saying how powerful Master Sol is, like Smylo didn't just obliterate 5 knights and padawns single handed in the last episode, and kill another master off screen in the one before that.
They cut right after Osha becomes a Darth Vader wannabe? WHAT A CLIFFHANGER! I can't wait for next week! /s
I'm surprised when Osha put on that helmet she didn't utter that line from Batgirl, 'I am powerful'.
