Look if someone sees the light, you welcome her. You do not say "I told you so", and even worse you do not make her apologize or do anything like that.

It takes some effort to see for someone that she is wrong and not everyone can do it, so she actually deserves some credit.

What I find baffling is how poorly paced so many Disney shows are. Every season has a couple episodes where little to nothing happens, then the final 1-2 episodes are a mad scramble to poorly tie everything together, with many things being left unresolved.

Probably because they were movies which are later cut into episodic series.

[@tubetorpedo]

​@@deathsdoor07 I think is simply bad writing. They do not have coherent interesting stories to tell so they have to do with scraps. Their 'interesting' plot points and 'revelations' have been duds.

Ok, hold on... So they encountered force sensitive kids in the woods and per their mission as the Jedi they still went to investigate. When they did, this coven of witches attacked them by mind controlling at least one Jedi. In an act of self defense, they broke that mind control which in turn killed the witches which the Jedi had no way of knowing that would happen and they were also not given any other choice. When their leader then transformed into something else, the Jedi had no indication of anything besides hostile intent given the previous actions and made a move to then defend themselves again and killed her too.... So in what way did the Jedi do anything wrong? I know they're painting the Jedi as villains, but the actions taken tell an entirely different story.

[@alexanderfrederick-preece9770]

I was about to type the same series of events. The coven absolutely attacked first and at no point was it made clear that the cult-I mean coven leader who definitely isn’t part of an institution like a coven would let the girl go to the Jedi, indeed she stated at several points that she would not allow her to go.

[@tubetorpedo]

I think the point here is that Andor has no future, no matter how well it's written. If Andor is their best series and it has fixed end point it's kind of done deal because that end point is looming ahead. With series like Acolyte or such if it was done good it would have potential to be a bigger thing, which is probably not going to happen simply because it's so bad.

Yeah again this is the problem, we are focusing too muhc on this long term IP mining. I think that especially now people would react better to a scenario where you have, for example, Andor gets it's 2 maybe 3 series top and then same team goes working on another show focusing on some less explored aspects of the setting. Hollywood is hurting itself with overblown projects with both out there permanently escalating premises and budgets. So even from this long term sustainability perspective... I am not sure. Remember Snyder sold Rebel Moon to Netflix on the back of these kinds of promises. But yeah I can see the point in that sense.

This show will kill you, if you played a drinking game.

[@anunnacy]

Oh yeah, that could end really badly. :(

[@Freyja_Broko]

@@anunnacy Yeah, don't watch the show. Watch the reviews instead, much more entertaining and less dangerous.

[@FinestBlasphemy]

Maybe this show is an attempt on the Drinker's life then?

[@e.c.winner7252]

Can’t wait to see Grace make the rounds on all the fandom menace channels to try to court the favor of all the people she’s been shtting on for the last decade now that she won’t be getting any more Disney checks 😂😂😂

[@shonen_x_trash2488]

While watching the coverage I saw multiple ways Leslye Harvey's former condom fetcher & appointment booker, could have salvaged this trainwreck in episode 7, at least a bit. How they screwed up even those basic points astonishes me.

[@DOOMStudios]

1 win for grace in 2024 shocking. 😂

[@raymathews1474]

with the possible exception of rogue 1, i dont accept anything disney as cannon.

[@vladpiranha]

Isn't it odd how all of us racist fans liked that movie?

[@Kat-queenofnerds]

​@vladpiranha racist homophonic, misogynistic and toxic too 😅 How dare we not meekly accept our favourite franchise being butchered to the point of being unrecognisable

[@Mangolorian-je3eo]

This is why the first episode ended with the line “The Acolyte kills the dream”. It’s deliberate, spiteful destruction.

[@DoodsUnited]

Ooh they were talking about the show. That's very meta but it makes all the sense!

[@BleedingFool]

Your coverage is the very best thing about this Star Wars series, Andre.

[@JoeBoxerNo1]

THE VIEW is todays JERRY SPRINGER SHOW

[@wexwuthor1776]

So bad even the queen of shills has to be honest.

[@raimijohari9391]

It's like suddenly realising you had a potato as your President.

[@RPGmodsFan]

The high seas? The Acolyte, for that matter, anything made by Disney in the past decade, is not worth pirating.

[@FungalBunghole]

Why does she talk like that?

[@lsnav7290]

Grace criticizing the Acolyte? I guess the Disney check didn't clear before she made her review of that episode.

[@allendean9807]

I love these videos, from so many creators! I’ll never watch this mess of a series, but it’s so much fun to see the reviews!!

[@nerva-]

I keep hearing people on KZbin referring to Acolyte audience scores being hidden, but when I go to the series page, it shows 14% right there. Same thing if I go to the Season 1 page.

[@Invidente7]

Wow, now THAT'S a genuine achievement!

[@spezial-m9146]

4 sponsor segments in 16 min video?!? Jesus you're abusing my willingness to tolerate this BS.

[@DoodsUnited]

I definitely get how these guys worked up the reputation of being grifters

[@curiositycloset2359]

The floating jedi ages like 40 years instead of 10

[@GH-ub7qz]

wookie would infection

[@JasonMAlexander]

Hey just some clarification; the dumpster fire known as THE VIEW does not air on the Disney Channel. Rather it airs on the ABC Network which is owned by Disney. Wherever it airs it’s still trash. Great video

[@bugeater16]

She did her job. Get as many people to watch it and defend it at all cost in the beginning. And now it has fallen of the cliff she can make the turn to be able to claim that she gave it an honest shake, but it became bad. Money in the bank and history will show that she gave it negative reviews.

[@kostis79]

Disney should delete this flop from their catalogue

[@jasonkelley8697]

You know its horrible when even one of your biggest defenders/fans says "aww man that's awful!" and doesn't want to see the last episode.

[@timmochama7712]

That intro music is absolutely golden please never change it..

[@LEXX790]

I quit after episode 3, how any 1 is still watching is beyond me.

[@hamdinger7145]

[@KeytarArgonian]

Hey Erik stole my prediction from his comment section almost word for word! 😂 I did also add that Koril will probably also end up being mother to Darth Maul and his brothers.

[@MysteicVoltronus]

I am still not watching this show, but I have seen two breakdowns of this episode that say the Jedi are still not the bad guys Headland wants them to be. That this was at worst a misunderstanding that got out of hand. And that scarface had absolutely no reason end himself or meditate on this incident for 10+ years. I vote they Willow this shite and pretend it never happened.

[@GabrielLeonars]

at this point it's just sad , how any of these showrunners have the nerve to even show their faces in public is beyond me , I'd sink into the ground I'd be so ashamed

[@DonDonP1]

Good job. John Campea and I are already done with "The Acolyte" and I'm glad Grace Randolph is done with that show as well. Keep up the good work, Andre!

[@dirkymcdirkyface4851]

The only thing Randolph has realised is that the benefits of supporting Disney in terms of access and favours is outweighed by the damage done by losing subs and credibility for anything she might say. She never enjoyed this series.

[@101fng]

They’ve beat their chest over identity politics to the point that it’s become totally cliché. Nobody cares anymore.

[@apollolux]

Andre, you just pointed at the stands to call your shot like Babe Ruth with your prediction at the end. XD

[@alexandresobreiramartins9461]

You can see how much it pains Grace to say the truth, and that she's only doing it because she has no choice.

[@tnndll4294]

Carrie Ann Moss could've been an awesome Jedi. How could Disney f that up?

[@lazylady8591]

To misquote T.S. Eliot: This is the way Star Wars ends/ Not with a bang but with a whimper. To think Disney took one of the biggest movie intellectual properties of all time and reduced it to a barely watched cheesy ill-written TV show. Congratulations to Disney, Bob Iger, Kathleen Kennedy, and Leslye Headland. Well done!
