  • A new Star Wars series, set in a new era, made by people whom I'm sure have heard about Star Wars from a friend at one point in time. Here are my thoughts on Episodes 1 & 2 of STAR WARS: THE ACOLYTE!!

      Have you watched the last two seasons of Smallville? If not, watch them! I was the same. Loved the early seasons but the middle seasons sucked so bad I stopped watching. Sometime said it gets good again at the end, so I tried, and holy shit it does! It's not ground breaking or the best ever. But if you liked Smallville and just want to watch some good episodes, watch the last season. The last two seasons are good, but if you're really over Smallville then just watch the last season.
      It's the best send off of the series, and it you once liked it you deserve to see the series end right. Please watch it.
      A person said the same to me, so now I'm saying it to someone else. And when you enjoy it, carry forward the message.

      It's probably more likely that the disparity between senior members of staff and the workforce is so great it's just leading to massive inefficiency.
      I spoke to a game dev yesterday and he was saying how the bigger the corporations were becoming the more politics became enlarged. So you've just got higher ups saying "make it happen" and just keep throwing money at it whilst not addressing the underlying issue. I imagine the people who actually create are massively under the thumb of the execs: they either hire people who are young but easy to push around or squash anything risky due to the now clearly incompetent risk averse system they have put it in place over the years.

    • @davidmhh9977
      @davidmhh9977 15 днів тому +47

      It's not even just a lack of budget. It's that the creators seem to have no idea what to do with this budget. There's just a lack of skill in front of and behind the camera. The sets look fake, the cinematography is just lazy, and the acting and plot aren't good enough to distract you from the technical issues.
      A New Hope on a technical level had way more limitations than anything Disney has put out, but it worked with those limitations infinitely better. The locations were well thought out They established scale with mat paintings, so you got a sense of size, even in small sets. Most notably, you cared about the plot and characters. Do things look dated by todays standards? Definitely, but you're interested enough that you don't even care. Flashy special effects will always look dated later. A good story is always timeless.

      ​@@jumhed994Rogue One is okay. Good fan service, good acting, and a decent story. It should have been split into 2 movies or streamlined though, because they tried to cram way too much in without developing characters or story enough. The main character was good, but the side characters felt shallow and rushed. To me Rogue One was a look at the future disappointment coming. Andor was better, IMO, despite some plot holes and its own issues. But it came at a bad time, and too late to save anything.

Its both sad and nice to appreciate that integrity, sad because its so rare that a person of your fame/following retains their individual spirit and ability to think for themselves, and refreshing for the same reason.

      I understand what he means by a PS1 shot but it is doing the PS1 a disservice. The PS1 was a powerhouse for its time. It might very well be the best videogame system I've ever owned. I still play PS1 games in 4K emulation with better graphics despite owning the original system (which still works by the way) and games. Definitely what we see in the Acolyte is sloppy CGI, without the care and love of its creators. There are buildings in this version of Coruscan't which are just copy and paste, scaled, enlarged, shrinked... The best games on the PS1 were pushing the limits of that incredible little system and what could be done AT THE TIME, with love, incredible programming and mad skills. The graphics couldn't be improved because of its technology and system limitations. The shit we saw on Acolyte shouldn't be acceptable 20 years ago... Today? Ha...
