  • With the Acolyte episode 5 failing to fix the ratings disaster due to the acolyte rotten tomatoes score showing the star wars fandom walking away from the brand for disney plus...one major development now has to do with kathleen kennedy heading into damage control over the acolyte backlash and what looms for the acolyte episode 6 by leslye headland which stars amandla stenberg as osha and mae. This also has more to do with the acolyte backlash and how disney ceo bob iger has been taking action behind the scenes with the acolyte season 2 cancelled situation.

      "Diversity" itself is not a good (nor bad) thing .... I would say diversity of ideas is generally good, but any other kind of diversity is at best neutral. Besides, I'll only support "diversity" the day the start pushing for more white people as leads in indian movies, or when they start criticizing the chinese movie industry for not having enough mexicans. Or more (real) man in primary education.
      If the only place that needs more "divesity" is where white people (or males) are a majority, then you are just ant-i-y-t (or male).

    1: Why attack men for not watching it?
    2: Why the mock outrage at men who are not watching it?
    3: Why blame men every single time there is any pushback?
    4: How is continuing to insult and attack men going to win them over?
    5: It obvious Kathy is unable to treat me as humans for ideological reasons, but what excuse does she have for not treating them as potential paying customers in such a bigoted and prejudiced way?
    6: Where is the audience that this series was made for?
    7: Why on earth, when it hurts their cause so badly is anyone at Disney still idiotic enough to be relying on the opinions of critics that have collectively lost all and any credibility over the last eight years?
    8: When people who fail in public, this hard they are normally dismissed and replaced. How have these people, who failed to make money with a run away success like Star Wars, managed to stay employed?
    9: Isn't it past time to let someone else have a go at this? (without any interference from Kathy, Bobby and Kevin).
    Even, "Jar Jar the Jedi does Dantooine, the musical!" - would be better than what audiences are getting at the moment.

Yes, that segment, whether they are a minority or not, does exist, but that is absolutely not their problem. Their problem---which they refuse to acknowledge---is the majority of viewers who simply are not interested in this type of show. They would rather blame a "vocal minority" than acknowledge they are making shows the majority do not care to watch.

She is absolutely trapped in her own echo chamber, which is filled with mediocre writers and producers, unable or unwilling to own to her mistakes and personal limitations. If after losing billions of dollars in stock value and multiple failed projects she's still spewing shit like this, then I fear there's something even worse behind her intentions and personality.

    Remember: Narcissists THRIVE on pissing people off. Thus, the enraged fanbase isn’t a bug - it’s the feature.
    It’s by and large a waste of time to debunk the pea brained drivel coming from Kennedy. But I will go after the most outrageous part:
    Star Wars had ALWAYS contained women. Princess Leia was a strong, courageous, independent character. To now, under the guise of „inclusion“ literally make Star Wars films with the specific intent to exclude men („by women, for women“) - that’s not only shamelessly depraved - it is gaslighting at it’s finest!

    • @hodarinundu
      @hodarinundu 4 дні тому +1

      Women were revered in the real SW movies. Leia was not just strong and courageous, she was the friggin leader of the rebelion along with Mon Mothma. Padme was the whole reason Anakin's journey goes the way it goes. Shmi gives rise to Anakin who is destined to bring balance to the Force. Even in Clone Wars, Ventress was arguably the most memorable villain, and Ahsoka is beloved by most fans. These characters apparently do not exist according to Kennedy. She doesn´t want to do justice to women; she blatantly hates male heroes, and I wouldn´t be surprised if she held some sort of grudge against Lucas as well.

      There exist such wonderful, specifically female qualities in some women, that can be unspeakable blessings to the world.
      To a misogynist, these qualities are by and large invisible. They do not, and they CAN not exist within their concept of life.
      Consequently, misogynists will randomly impose their oppressive power onto women- convinced of an inherent male superiority.
      The IDENTICAL process is also in place with misandrists. While there fortunately are more people in society who are aware of misogyny, misandry is mostly still flying under the radar. So much so, that even THE TERM ITSELF is hardly EVER being used! That has allowed misandrists to infest key positions in leadership (as I said - such types feel DRAWN to positions that allow them to exert oppressive control).
      Misandry should get shunned in society exactly as misogyny - and misandrist sociopaths like Kennedy & Co. should get stopped right in their tracks!

    Gone With the Wind is a movie based on a novel written by a woman about a very strong woman character. That became one of the most popular movie ever made loved by men and women alike. In fact, through the Golden Age of Hollywood, movies were mainly headed by strong women like Bette Davis, Ingrid Bergman, and Greer Garson etc. with male characters being subordinates. Where did Kathleen Kennedy get the idea that she was first to push a story about a strong woman and that men cannot accept that?

All four characters were loved by male and White audiences. Oh and the story is built upon the search for a missing Asian woman.

    You know, it's not that Disney is providing diversity in a Star Wars series that is annoying the fans. It's that they are using the series to ram their DEI agenda down everyone's throats. If they had just told a good Star Wars story with characters one would care about, without the preaching, they wouldn't be in this mess. Even if the main character is a lesbian of color. I mean, Gene Roddenberry was doing diversity 60 years ago, and the fans ate it up! Because he simply showed men and women of all races being the best and most capable people they could be. Even when George Takei came out, the fans were like, "Okay . That's nice. " Because he is a seemingly decent guy playing a likable character. Kathleen could stand to learn from that.
