i haven't seen it, is it better than Ahsoka ?

It's OK, it's not bad or good but we're only 2 episodes in so far. I'm interested enough to watch the 3rd Episode when it drops on Tuesday. So many parrots infested with brainworms lurk on this website it's insane. You'd think this show was the worst thing ever created based on what they are saying so my guess is many haven't even seen it. I like the idea of a set of identical twins being seperated at a young age with one being adopted by an evil force and the other a good force. The acting is very good some of the special effects are a little off but still good if measured by non Star Wars shows. it's cetainly not the creation of the devil like so many people on here are crying about. They seriously need to touch grass.
shareCompletely agree. I was initially put off by some of the effects and the costumes but overall it's not that bad.
I think this is the only other comment made by someone who's watched the two episodes on here!
Watching paint dry would have been better than Ahsoka. Couldn't tell you about this though. From what i've read it's more modern woke pandering disguised as a sci fi show so i didn't bother with it.
shareSo you accept that it sucked and you still side with them and not with people saying “It sucks”
Just a weenie bit weird.

That's an idiotic statement.
"I know I'm eating shit but I will side with the people feeding me shit and I will continue to eat shit and support them feeding me shit just because some people that I don't know and don't impact me in any way tell me I'm eating shit".
Yeah, makes sense.
Yup that is weaponized hatred right there, from a wackadoodle that thinks his opinion matters especially when it is so thinly substantiated.
share[deleted]
You make no sense.
If you don't care why do you post? You are endlesly whining about people that don't like shit. Are you for real? if you are not impacted and don't care because you don't care about SW why the fuck do you whine about people that care about how shitty SW has become? Are you stupid or something?
For someone that "doesn't care" you spend a lot of time and energy defending someone that you actually accept that they produce shit ...
And even if you are not attached to SW ... and you "don't care" you still support producing shit.
That is the problem.
This dude just rants and foams at the mouth, proclaiming "not to care".
"i've never been attached to star wars."
But he sits through every episode of a random Star Wars show, The Acolyte. Claiming he didn't even like it. Weird man, very weird.
so... between eating brown shit and slightly yellow shit, you prefer the brown shit. Ever considered of maybe not eating shit - or rooting for shit?
share[deleted]
Box office and ratings prove you wrong. They churn out shit and get ... shit. Because people like you that like shit are the real minority.
share[deleted]
Mine? maybe yours since you like shit.
But for sure being made by Disney will be more of the same stupid shit, and most likely will be a failure at the box office as well.
And yes, they never learn and go back to the same stupid shit ...

"want to bet that in the coming decades Rey sequels, Acolyte seasons, and more lesbian space witches and they/thems come out, and "bomb"
I don't doubt that. But at least they cancel those shows. SheHulk? Cancelled because it was shit. Willow? Not just cancelled but removed in shame from the shelves. Acolyte? Rumors are it's cancelled but will see. If it was successful it would be already renewed and we would know it.
And Disney share price will continue to go down.
It's funny how DESPERATE you are to defend a shit that you're saying that you're not interested in ...
stop crying. did you think saying this makes you better? you literally said you hated it and even mention they/them. you ARE the disney-hater delusional manbaby chud.
shareAnd according to Amazon, The Rings of Power was a huge critical and commercial hit, even though only about a third of viewers finished it and fans hated it. Streaming services can say whatever they like; we don't have to believe them.
share^ This ^
sharei can bet you my left nut everyone who worked on that show hated it except the feminist writers. no one in their right mind would be ok with the prison scene where she magically beats up 2 guys. they literally could not even fathom a possible way it could happen and so they couldn't even show it happening. it just cuts to it in the show. one moment she's behind bars and the next she's outside beating them up.
shareAnd now we are taking World Wide numbers into consideration. That can click any time of the day. Can click by accident. Can click off after a few minutes.
Compare it to good numbers from TV of old and is it that good? Those TV numbers you couldn't click any time to watch it. They were country specific, not world wide.
I've seen Youtube videos go into 100,000s and millions in a week coming from a dude in his bedroom talking into a mike.
4.8 word wide numbers, anytime clicks from one of the biggest IPs of all time, from the biggest entertainment company ever isn't that impressive.
[deleted]
Avoiding the question?
4.8 million viewers who clicked for half a second within the window of a week/month at any time of the day in any part of the world isn't as impressive as 4.8 million from one country, who had to be sat in front of the TV when it aired, such a tight window.
Especially for a show from one of the biggest IPs of all time from the biggest entertainment company ever, and a premiere to boot!
"youtuber math monies" What are you blabbing about?
Watch the very next episodes drop to small YouTuber viewing figures because this dreck has the lowest viewer ratings of any show apart from Star Wars Holiday Special.
https://www.forbes.com/sites/paultassi/2024/06/06/the-acolyte-has-the-lowest-star-wars-audience-scores-since-the-holiday-special/
Oh and by the way. The Holiday Special pulled in 13 million viewers, peak time Christmas season.
What's that in AD REVENUE MONIES?
https://regainwellness.medium.com/why-the-star-wars-holiday-special-was-the-worst-thing-to-ever-air-on-tv-104d018ff52d
lol
You like dreck and that's ok.
[deleted]
*yawn* Insult porn. No substance.
"each new spinoff doesn't need to be "biggest IP of all time". it just needs to add enough value to keep subscribers, which it does"
Naah. The Acolyte ain't adding or keeping subscribers. Disney has other content that does that job.
And for the Star Wars IP itself, the constant dreck is damaging. Hence, why no Star Wars movies are being released, because they will be straight bombs. Guaranteed bombs.
The fans have become apathetic, and with Disney can only releasing cheap TV filler like this, which in turn makes non fans even more apathetic to the Star Wars franchise because it's dreck show after show, with dreck characters and dreck stories.
"in terms of entertainment success those fan ratings sites that no one participates in are meaningless."
Besides your nonsenical rant my main point (Which you ignored) is........
A magic number Disney Corp claim clicked on it is meaningless.
4.8 million clicks just ain't impressive. Not sure why Disney are banging a drum clicks.
Like I said, Star Wars Special hit 11 million in just one country. 4.8 million world wide clicks is less than half with a larger reach.
[deleted]
>there's never been a star wars movie bomb.
Solo lost money. Disney spent more than they earned.
It BOMBED.
Then they STOPPED making Star Wars movies after planning to make one or more every year.
They have not made a movie in 6 years!
They expected close to $1 billion guaranteed box office each movie release.
Now they won't release any movies because it will be a guaranteed bomb.
>merchandising
ha ha Those Rose Tico dolls are flying off the shelves.
>you can't be bothered to know basic information
You can't be bothered to keep track of the actual topic and go on off topic insult porn rants.
Like I said and I will repeat.
4.8 million world wide audience for a premiere isn't that impressive compared to when Star Wars Holiday Special had 11 million viewers, live, from one country.
>4.8 million does not need to be impressive
Because it isn't. From the biggest entertainment company in the world. From one of the biggest IPs. With millions spent on production and marketing.
Wonder how many of those 4.8 million actually finish the show. -_-
What is impressive is one man, in a room, with a mike and a webcam raked in 3.2 million views just to talk about episode 3.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yofjGi6LOVc
wow. 3.2 million. I wonder if he beat episode 3's ratings. I'm sure he did.

Again, you spend too much defending Disney for someone that doesn't understand the difference between revenue and net profit ... if it's too hard for you I can explain it.
You could have the decency to link earnings at least (which btw is not just Disney plus) and see that they are making less than half of what they did in 2019.

You're in love with a failed assistant to Harvey Weinstein who somehow got to write and direct a Star Wars movie.
She should really concentrate on her strengths. Setting up young starlets to be sexually assaulted by old men, and turning a blind eye. She's really good at that.
This show is bombing. Lowly Youtubers talking about this show get more viewers than the show itself.
Aaaaaand they deleted their account.
After ranting and raging about the success of The Acolyte on the first episode, to deleting their account and completely removing all previous comments after its failure and total loss of viewership only a few episodes in.
Strange behaviour.
I have no doubt that this person was either connected to Disney or the show.
Was probably Amandla Stenberg or spreading her special love around and celebrating before the race had even started. Double-dipping on "making White men cry" thinking that her show was a guaranteed success just because it was Star Wars.
Oooof man. This comment ages badly.
The Shitolyte dropped off the neilson charts faster than Disney pays for click bait articles to insult the fans with.
Oooof absolute bomb. Nobody watching by the end.
If the customers start watching the shows first few episodes then drop off to almost zero before the end customer satisfaction is down my friend.
and what's 4,800,000 times 7.99/13.99 per month in youtuber math monies...
[deleted]
whether they're new or maintained is irrelevant...
[deleted]
Yeah, that's not how it works.
Unless you can show that the 4.800.000 viewers specifically paid to see the Acolyte. Which I highly doubt it.
Also:
"In the second quarter of 2024, the number of global Disney+ subscribers amounted to 153.6 million. This marked a decline of around four million compared with the same quarter of the previous year,"
Yuuuuge success. Keep sucking that mouse dick.
[deleted]
Oh, you don't even know the difference between revenue and net profit?
Why am I NOT surprised.
Go read this:
"In the second quarter of 2024, the number of global Disney+ subscribers amounted to 153.6 million. This marked a decline of around four million compared with the same quarter of the previous year"
And this:
"For the combined streaming businesses, which includes Disney+, Hulu and ESPN+, second-quarter operating loss shrunk to $18 million from $659 million"
They are losing money. Is true that they were losing a lot more the precedent year.
and this
https://companiesmarketcap.com/walt-disney/stock-price-history/
Share holders are not that happy.
"they pay for all the content whether they watch it or not" exactly. So it's way worse when 155 million subscribers are not interested in watchin a shit that they already paid for.
Rebel Moon: 44.2 million hours viewed.
Not 4.800.000 viewers which we don't know how much they viewed.
And Rebel Moon is SHIT btw.
So, 44.2 million hours FOR A MOVIE vs 4.8 million viewers for a SHOW.
Let's compare with another show:
Queen's Gambit: Sixty two million households watched the series over the first 28 days after it debuted on Netflix on October 23, 2020"
Squid game??? 142 million households.
Disney? Success? No, pathetic failure.
Also:
"
"'The Acolyte' has been losing viewers for two consecutive weeks. Following an initial 31% drop in “minutes watched,” the show lost an additional 11% last week. As a result, it has fallen out of the top 10 “most watched” shows, according to Luminate's data provided by Variety.""

The main thing: it is NOT a hit. The numbers are clear.
Has nothing to do with black people or gay.
No, I don't pay for Disney. So you're wrong, again.
Always be skeptical of the access media. Sites like Variety, The Hollywood Reporter, Deadline, IndieWire, etc. work for the studios, not the audience.
shareMovie studios spend hundreds of millions of dollars on advertisements, for one blockbuster, and we are reading their articles for free, so of course entertainment media work for movie studios.
shareI think I'll wait till all eps are available to stream. I went into ahsoka after 4 were available and I did not like waiting through the cliffhangers.
sharehow does Views make it a hit?
the people watching have already paid for their Disney+ subscription.
audience reviews is what determines if it's a hit..... and the reviews are terrible. both on rotten tomatoes, imdb and everywhere else.
>how does Views make it a hit?
On a streaming service, people who view your product keep subscribing to it. It's how they measure success.
That's why TV shows with low views get cancelled. Or specifically, low completion rates.
>audience reviews is what determines if it's a hit..... and the reviews are terrible. both on rotten tomatoes, imdb and everywhere else.
Reviews mean absolutely nothing to Disney, Netflix, Amazon. They only care about viewing figures.
social engineering is a different beast, I'm afraid - the money going into this is unlimited - forget about the old business models, they no longer play a role.
shareWho knows. Most Disney series are miniseries anyway, and don't get renewed in the first place.
But just go watch something else.
