    For the Acolyte, I kinda wish there was more ambiguity around whether the twin was alive or not. If there was more of a potentially unreliable narrator. Maybe there still could be but it would take more work.
    Otherwise, as a straight forward show, it is... straight forward.

    I will say, I don't mind the idea of the Xenomorphs being bio-engineered in "Alien."
    *However,* it makes NO sense at all for David to be their creator, because the other movies all prove that they existed LONG before he showed up. Like, it's not even up for interpretation, the Engineers painted murals of them & had their eggs stored en-mass in their spaceships. That's like if a new Star Wars movie revealed Vader wasn't Luke's father somehow...

The idea the internet was floating around with Hiroyuki Sanada as a Samurai taking on a Predator would have been great or at least something like that.

    My one major criticism of the Acolyte is its characters are not-believably really dumb, and don't think dynamically for even a moment at every given opportunity apart from the odd marvel-quip. I guess the makeup and cgi could be better too, but doesn't bug me so much. Still seems less dumb than Ahsoka.

    My problem with the Acolyte is that it feel unbelievably small. They show us a world with Jedi everywhere and the story is just a murder-mystery with a handful of people involved. Kind of a waste of the setting.
    Also there is a Sith and a hundred years later they can not fathom that Sith actually exist...

      The Jedi do not know who is responsible.
      And neither do the audience for that matter. There has been 1 line about 'peace is a lie'. Could it be? Sure, maybe. But let's not act like it's been confirmed.
