  • A new report claims that the Acolyte is more popular than the scores would indicate, but I did some investigating (Axel Foley style) and found out that the research was paid for. Who paid for it? How deep does this web go? Join me right now and find out!

      As a child of the 80s I can assure you there were a lot of really, really bad TV shows and movies. The only difference is that now, there is a media machine to try to convince you the crap is good. To me, that's the cardinal sin people are really reacting negatively to. You can make crap, just don't tell me it's not junk and that I am the problem. I think that's what changed. Sort of similar to you're observation that they pat themselves on the back.

    The issue with modern metrics is that they don't use any consistent standards anymore. Nielsen for example used to use overall views while Netflix uses watched minutes. Then all of a sudden, Disney started using views because it favored their numbers. It's effectively the "there's no such thing as bad press" trying to be made practical.

    American businesses keep repeating the EXACT SAME MISTAKES that drove American customers to foreign businesses that made and still make what customers want and need- to European and Asian car companies in Nader's time, to European and Asian film and TV studios (including anime studios) now. GM never recovered the market share it lost to European and Japanese competitors then; Disney will never recover the market share it lost to European and Asian competitors now.

    The insanity of it all. People have been shown to be very easy to sway, but only in the direction they already want to go. And only so much. They can't typically be told that something that emotionally affected them is not what actually did happen. Gaslighting only goes so far, things have to be somewhat grey. And only with a certain population. If a customer does not like the food, you may be able to finagle some things and even convince them maybe it was not that bad. But if they rush to the bathroom vomiting their guts out, there is not much you can say to change their perception of what happened. Disney is sending the manager to the bathroom to tell the person puking profusely that the food was great, and you should buy more. Dude? You serious? It's insane to even suggest that.

    Amazes me that Disney and their apologists STILL don't get it. If you take away all of the pretty obvious social and political messaging and just analyse the acolyte as a TV show, you are left with a series that is poorly written, badly acted and is directed by someone who clearly knows nothing about the IP and it's fanbase. And actively attacking that fanbase is not the answer.

It felt like Star Wars had regained its foot in pop culture again...ive seen almost none of this since with SWs. In fact...the only thing keeping Star Wars relevant in pop culture are the "hate watchers"...once this show wraps..only the memes and jokes will survive in fandom.
