WHY Nerds Get SO ANGRY When Lore & Continuity is Ignored? • WHY Nerds Get SO ANGRY... - Розваги
Its just so damn mid. I was promisde some real dark side fun and I got some goofball parent trap shit. So many cool concepts fumbled. Anti climax after anti climax. It better recover and stick the landing in ep 5 or imma shit.
What "real dark side fun" are you referring to? I went into the show blind, knowing nothing except "It's a Jedi-centered Star Wars story set 100 years in the past". I had no particular expectations and so far I'm entertained …
I’ve been watching for well over a decade and this is one of my favorites that you have done. Well thought out and really great points. Thank you!
Wait, you are YOUNGER than me? Now I feel old.
ya he looks super old for his age, i was surprised too.
Hey... YOU live in constant chronic pain for twenty years and we'll see how well YOU hold up 😐
I have had to defend the Amazon Fallout show from bad faith arguments many times. I don't think that's the case here though in fact most of these people seem like fans to me. I wouldn't know I'm more of a LOTR guy and I know much more about that than Star Wars and I don't know much at all about it personally and rings of power was very disrespectful to the source material of Tolkein. Makes sense you make fans angry for being disrespectful to what they loved the ratings are bad for a reason. I'm glad you enjoy it and I'm glad some people enjoy rings of power. Doesn't invalidate what the other side thinks though it's just 2 opposing opinions at the end of the day nothing more and nothing less.
I had a similar experience to your Smallville story when I started Gotham, I kept thinking of other Batman media and enjoyed it more when I went back to it.
O.k. so in regards to Jedi taking children, that is explain in GREAT detail that they procure only young children that haven't formed attachments to things like family, friends, etc. That aspect is actually part of their belief system and their is no malintent. They believe attachments are a weakness and the greatest source of a Jedi's downfall away from their teachings. Now I think the Jedi became this is example of what not to do instead of being the moral compass they started out as.
Yyyeeeessss… they want them young, before they’re “attached” to other people, and belief systems…. so they can CREATE an attachment to the teachings and beliefs of THE JEDI. dude, c’mon…. It is CREEPY and you know it.
@@BluntyTV LOL I mean sure. For the record I think the Jedi were portrayed as monumentally naive but I was simply pointing it out in the context of the SW universe that there was a precedent for that type of behavior. I'm not condoning it. I was born in '77 so I, like you, grew up with Star Wars. Luke was always an ideal and something to aspire to in that he was representing the protective side of the Jedi and not the creepy/jaded side. That came later. I also blame poor writing on behalf of the prequel era Jedi. I mean in '99 I'm sitting in the theater mentally screaming at the screen because if there are thousands of Jedi and two known Sith, the only way to balance it is either thousands of Sith or two Jedi...seriously?!?...lol.
In the context of Acolyte, I'm just not liking it because of the bad acting, plot holes and pacing issues. BUT I in no way wish the actors or anyone disagreeing with me any malice or harm. Not everything in any given subject is for everyone. This is a case in point of that fact.
@@kilrasha77 Please elaborate on the plot holes. We haven't even seen all episodes and this series seems to be one of those that heavily rely on flashbacks to make sense of the plot in hindsight.
Bounty what are your thoughts on the “power of 1,2 many” etc. Personally I saw it as laughable and rather ridiculous but curious as to what you thought of that.
Yeah, that chant was ridiculously infantile and cringe, the concept of a force witch splinter group I have no problem with, but the dialogue really needed more work.
@@BluntyTV I'd say _a lot_ of religious stuff looks infatile and cringe from the outside.
thank you blunty for a great vid!! another great example would be shadows of the empire!! in context... where is mara jade?
Agreed that you'll have people jumping on the band wagon in bad faith... but you have to admit, this show is a steaming heap. Regardless of lore or differing opinions on how the Jedi should be represented, without the Star Wars banner, this would be bargain bin vewing at best. The name Star Wars deserves better. Better writing, better quality, and better acting.
Feels like the production crew loved themselves and their ideas more than they loved the source material... and it shows
" but you have to admit, this show is a steaming heap." No, I don't... it's not my fave of the newest crop of Star Wars, and I think the pacing needed a lot more work, but I am enjoying the concepts it's exploring, and I very much like a couple of the Characters. It's also shot quite nicely, just on a technical, aesthetic note.
@BluntyTV Ahhh, to me that's the sad part. To me that shows just how far Disney has let us down if you find this acceptable as a Star Wars show. That's just me though. Love the shirt by the way... you lucky duck
@MrmorpheuZ nothing star wars related will be worst than attack of the clones
@@TubiTuesdaysThe Holiday special as well, but ep II comes close.
@@TubiTuesdaysThen there was that time the maguffin was in the shape of a crashed ship half sticking out of a planet; stood in the perfect distance and angle to see the maguffin pull out a pointer to say the thing you want is in this spot. Then there was that time the big baddie is reintroduced to be the puppet master again from the dead with NO allurement that anyone was pulling strings or that the long dead baddie might come back. And it's the main characters blood relative somehow...
I'll take coarse sand. At least there was a story to follow
You being a jedi makes soo much sense now 😆You are awesome, Blunty!
This year marks the 40th anniversary of transformers
I will never not call it anything except Twitter. On Apple, I had to make a shortcut so it would open the app so I didn’t even have to say the name. Elon Musk wants me to call it. I don’t or it’s Kathleen who is to blame but I’m leaning more towards Kathleen Kennedy because when you look at the Mandalorian, she did not do anything with it. It was John feather who had control of that show.
Thank you! I've been saying this. This is set during the age of the High Republic. The Jedi were the biggest power, but were out of touch with the rest. They made mistakes that led to their downfall. So whenever I hear "Why did they make the Jedi look like they're the bad guys?" My response is always, "Because that's exactly what they were."
Now, this isn't my favorite show. But it is interesting, once you look past it's flaws. It's not going to "save Star Wars", and that's fine. I don't need to it to be saved. Star Wars is just fine. I just need something new and refreshing to put some time and distance between now and the cluster f*ck of the Sequel Trilogy.
My biggest issues with Disney's Star Wars are a meandering sequel trilogy, the sidelining of the original expanded universe, a lack of content that captures my interest, and burnout from the rate of new stuff coming out. Major Star Wars releases used to be an event but now major stuff comes more than twice a year. At this rate, I'm going to start skipping stuff I'm not interested in or have time for.
Glad you're enjoying The Acolyte. Personally, it's not enjoyable to me and it has nothing to do with politics, diversity, pronouns, sexual orientation, fat Jedis, etc.. It's poorly written, horribly acted, and just flat out boring. I don't find anything about the show to get excited about. Before this series came along I thought the Book of Boba Fett was the worst thing Disney has done but this series may just top that. It's fine tho - not every show is going to appeal to everyone and people can like or dislike it for whatever reason but just because I love Star Wars doesn't mean I'm going to force myself to consume and love everything Disney creates but you do you man.
" I'm going to force myself to consume and love everything Disney creates but you do you man." I'm not "forcing myself" to "consume" anything mate. What a WEIRD thing to imagine people do!
What part of the writing is bad? I'm curious because people said that about the prequels and now quite hot right now. Like when people say the writing is bad I want to know what aspect. What doesn't make sense to you.
I don't always agree with your criticisms but I think in this specific subject we can agree that hatred that people are spitting is stupid, pure and simple. They need everything to have a tight bow wrapped around it all instead of just relaxing. The mysteries I think the show has set up are interesting. Is it a amazing no but its not bad at all and I honestly think this is better than book of boba fett.
Good thoughts, expressed well - as usual. Keep on, Blunty!
Their rant. Your rant. I just want to see an honest review of what was presented.
And yes, I hated Lucas' infernal updating of the original star wars stories.
Solo shot first. It "hurt" canon for anything else.
I think of YODA as in top physical conditioning for his ALIEN species which should not be judged by human standards.
Acolyte creators should to try respect canon but ultimately it still has to be good content.
"I think of YODA as in top physical conditioning for his ALIEN species " So you think they all waddle around, in obvious dicomfort, limping and using a cane? and that's "peak" for them? Jesus Christ mate, I've seen some dumbfucker takes about Yoda, but that's a GOLDEN dumbfucker one. 🤣🤣🤣
I get that the series isn't appealing to everyone, and I don't think it's the best thing SW has released, but I'm just not seeing how the show is supposedly the 'bottom of the barrel smelly poo-poo' people make it out to be. It's not perfect, but something is allowed to be flawed.
The only thing I will never forgive Disney for regarding Star Wars is their cowardly retconning for "Fan Appeal" in Rise Of The Skywalker... Took every single interesting thing the other two sequels had going and totally nullified them...
Really left a sour taste on the entire Franchise and ruined the Sequels altogether, for me...
The rest of it has ranged from super interesting, fresh and fun, to just Ok.
Oh well, and Andor was WILD in how astonishingly good it was.
The show isn’t great but it isn’t as bad as people are making it out to be. Their are some writing issues and the sudden cut at the end of this weeks episode really pissed me off but this show is not deserving of the hate it’s getting. What I truly believe is happening here is that because this is a female and minority heavy show theirs a lot of fans who have issues with that (I have no idea why the show takes place in a universe full of all types of aliens, droids, creatures etc) and they decided to hate the show before a single frame of footage was shot let alone shown and they make hate bate (great term btw) videos about it.
I agree with them on some things like I do think Kathleen Kennedy doesn’t fully get Star Wars and she’s the wrong match to run lucasfilm but that’s not because she’s a woman. She doesn’t seem like she fully understands the brand. It’s not a personal thing. That said I’m not also going to hate everything made under her watch. I’m going to judge it fairly and honestly. Most fans don’t want to do that. Most fans want to rally behind hate and anger and feel emboldened and self righteous.
At the end of the day it’s just a show set in a universe with space wizards and aliens and robots. You get some good episode and movie and some not so good ones just like any other major franchise.
I just try to take it as a per episode/movie base.
I personally dont hate it. Its not amazing and the writing is abit lazy but you have to look at all the other rubbish thats out from movies to tv shows. Atleast this show is somewhat an easy watch.
I love Star Wars!
No matter how bad it is getting, I still have to keep watching, hoping they will get better.
Some I do like, like Andor and the Bad batch. This show is awful in so many ways imo. From the directing to the direction and acting, I love the martial arts inclusion. I just wish it was implemented better.
Episode 4 was such a letdown. I was so excited to see a Wookiee Jedi in action 😞
Music is pretty good.
Anyway thanks for your video, id say as long as you like it, who cares what the rest think.
Im also a massive Trekkie, going to San Diego Comicon this year. My 1st one ever. Also going back to Disney World and so on.
Ever read any Green Lantern by Geoff Johns? Give it a go, so damn good!
So many hobbies not enough time for them all.
Star Wars needs to stick to stories of war and galactic espionage.
Why? It has never "stuck to" that before. Ever.
@@BluntyTVThis person probably thinks it’s “woke” and has too many minorities for their liking.
I disagree that's an aspect for sure. Andor was fantastic but the mysticism the mystery of the SW universe personally is what takes it from an 8/10 sci-fi franchise to an 11 because there's so much more than just war and espionage.
I think somebody also brought up that the creator of the Andor series changed some details about his background as well although they did actually work it together where the original planet he came from was just a hidden fact (for those that don't remember he was found as a kid but the lady who found him basically just faked the information that he was found somewhere else!)
It's just one of those things that people don't seem to bring up although I do remember one fan in particular bringing up the stuff about Andor and was quickly hushed away.
Sadly I've been seeing nothing but a very disrespectful and sometimes an outright racist responses to these episodes and I'm doing my best to report them but that's almost losing battle.
It's sad. I can't hate something that bad...
Please make those Star Trek vids!
How do you kill something that is inanimate and was never alive?
"Let go your true feelings Blunty" lol I love all these judgy people completely missing the entire premise of Star Wars (and Trek actually).
The only thing I'm questioning in The Acolyte is the martial arts. To me it sort of leans on that in a lot of ways and it's weird. Am I going to go on a hate rant about it? Nope. I love SW.
I actually really like the fight choreography (and cinematography of) the fight scenes.
@@BluntyTV oh for sure, that very first fight was fantastic. It's more 'where did all this martial arts come from'.
Especially when they claim Star Wars is too political and then praise Star Trek. They miss the whole premise of Star Trek and Star Wars. The Acolyte isn't bad as those haters claim it is. The first two episodes were perfectly fine and I enjoyed them. The third one had be a bit confused though.
