The Acolyte is the Anti Mono-Myth | Honey Badger Arcade

The man interviewing George Lucas was Bill Moyers from a PBS news & commentary show, his show was not remotely religious.

I just realized: the witches chant: they call upon the Power of Manny, which is super misogynistic. It should be the Power of Womanny!

You are correct it is spiritual. We are fighting against darkness. I mean I'd like to say more but I'm not sure if my comment will be hidden if I do.

I believe they (the modern story writers) are religious as well. Instead of worshipping a Father Heaven figure, they worship a Mother Earth figure.

[@GummiArms]

The useful idiots do, to an extent. But it is as a means of rebelling. You can tell because their beliefs are very inconsistent. You wouldn't normally associate ritual sacrifice of children with a fertility deity, for instance, and yet that is one of the contradictions within this sect. I believe the culprit is the demonization of established religions, especially Christianity and Judaism, that the marxists are pushing in order to destabilize Western nations. People still need to believe in something, so they will latch on to an ideology which fits with the values they hold. So, basically, it's a convenient fit for the marxist feminist dogma they've been brainwashed into by public education and universities. If it sounds a little too convenient, yes it is. That is because this quasi-religion was made by design, again, by marxists. It is a means of manipulating the adherents.

[@jeremymain7303]

Close to correct. Humanity worshiped Mother Earth in our state of nature. In the cave. Then we started to worship Father Heaven (the sun) when we discovered agriculture. Now that we're past the industrial revolution, these people feel they're creating a new religious focus that is neither on the heaven or the earth, but is on ourselves. Anti-monomyth is exactly the right way to think about it.

[@pickyphysicsstudent201]

@@jeremymain7303 I find it strange that sometimes the moon is considered feminine, as well.

[@smokedbeefandcheese4144]

@@jeremymain7303 I don’t think this is true when people grew stuff they still had female gods. I think when people started turning mostly to a male version of God it was when monotheism came about. Because as soon as you have multiple gods you have a bunch of room for everybody to have their own God. Even people you don’t like could have their own God. But under monotheism there is only one right way of doing things.

[@truesoulghost2777]

No. Its paganism and witchcraft. They outright admit it. The ones that dont admit it worship whether or not they know it. That or they treat femism as a cult

[@mikkaddo9861]

feels good hearing someone else say something I've been saying for years that the new atheist generations have replaced religion with pop culture. pop figures, the MCU, star wars, star trek, the office, whatever else it's their new god it's so much worse . . . .

[@georgecisneros5281]

My own theory about this wretched descent of the property rests upon my personal experience. My long term observation and analysis of Star Wars, particularly as portrayed through the Prequels (even though I wasn’t a strong fan of those particular installments) made up about a good 75-80% of the means through which I “unlocked” (in a manner of speaking) the underlying nature of that dark power which enslaves and controls this World. That force being what ai call “Psychopathic Ascendency” (which amounts to a shockingly near identical one to one mirror of what is identified as “The Sith”, within Star Wars). I thus surmise that these real world equivalents of the Sith are likewise fully aware that anyone and everyone else who approaches this fundamentally revelatory fictional property with the same eyes and perception as I have, said individuals would, in near identical fashion, would very likely also arrive at the same conclusion as to the reality of the Powers That Be as I and others like myself have. Therefore, it is vital that they OBSCURE in every way they can this transcendently revelatory aspect of the franchise. Being that the monomythic cycle of the heroes’ journey is a primary “vein” holding up this mechanism of perennial truth perception, that aspect of the story absolutely MUST be the primary section torn down above all others. See, it’s simply to “cloud” the reality of things, in the way ALL Sith (both fictional and of reality) do! And must do to keep us under their heel for all time.

[@JaBronzzzi]

So the answer to inequality of patriarch oppression is matriarch oppression?

[@Mr.Pacario]

I've been long saying this--modern cinema is intent of subverting the Hero's Journey. Some games, like The Last of Us Part 2, have also done this very thing. The only good news is that, years from now, these twisted works won't hold any relevance and will be forgotten.

[@Fibonaccisghost]

I just found your channel and I like your story. Congrats on finding a faith that provides meaning to your life. My only comment on your video is that you use the word “cult” in a way that’s common today where it describes a group of people with shared beliefs you may not like. That’s not exactly a cult. A true cult has certain traits like excessive control over its members, a charismatic leader, and it’s a group that’s very hard to leave. Scientology and other groups are cults. Wokeism is an ideology but not a cult. People leave it all the time.

[@adamroach3407]

Deconstructing the myth was en vogue in the 80’s after a few really competent writers tackled certain structures. Unfortunately this influenced far less competent people who now think they are being clever by not employing that core mono myth that Joseph Campbell so exhaustively documented. The Acolyte is not an attempt at an anti mono myth, rather it is in service to an intersectional revanchist view on media and particularly the structure of Hollywood’s implementation of certain universal themes. The head of Lucas Film, Kathleen Kennedy, has a grudge against the men in her generation that achieved great fame in the field of film. It’s obvious as she deliberately takes apart the life work of George Lucas, who basically made her. George might well be an ego maniac but he’s an incredibly accomplished man who had/has a real legacy. All Lesley Headland achieved in the Acolyte is to further KK’s now blatant agenda to dismantle the Skywalker Saga. In just one episode she erased the Chosen One prophecy, duplicated the twins apart angle and very likely copied the Dyad concept. All three film trilogies wrapped into 30 minutes. It’s all so unearned. By her own admission, Headland identifies with the Sith in Star Wars. The group who is so influenced by dark forces that the corruption manifests in their physical form. The “commie, lesbian, space witches” are window dressing and will be ultimately irrelevant to the story. Thin as it is. Just like most of Disney’s fake diversity and inclusion. Which has proven utterly shallow. Headland was paid $15 million for this pile of derivative, amateurish garbage. That was her real motivation. She did the job she was paid to do, corrupting the legacy of the intellectual property but more importantly what it represents; a morality tale for young men. Actually producing an anti mono myth still requires creating something mythic, she has come nowhere near that.

[@christophmahler]

I'd argue if George Lucas were the champion of tradition, he wouldn't have _merged_ his intellectual property - and the so called sale of the franchise was a _merger_ as he was payed largely in Disney Corporation _shares_ . DuduFilm made a conclusive case of Lucas' inspiration not just by Campbell's comparative - and largely anti-clerical - 'Monomyth', but by Carlos Castaneda's anthropological studies (or academic hoax, considering a questionable authenticity of his narrated encounter with genuine shamanism). What should strike as off from a spiritual perspective is the stark 'splitting' in his writing with father figures who are literally detached and antagonists who are judged by expressing anger... Neither does Lucas understand the 'constitutional cycles' of republics, interpreting modern fascism as a conspiracy among less than a handful of individuals (though it is neat that Palpatine's former master was a member of the Galactic Banking Clan...), instead of a shift of the entire political culture due to a preceding change in the 'mode of production' as during the Roman Republic by expanding beyond Roman territory and the Italic Peninsula, accelerating political centralization... And the same can be said of the 'Nu Skool' *intersectionalist* writers who are Salon socialists by birth and occultists by reading horoscopes in mainstream magazines... that is, they know nothing of feminine aspects of ancient civilizations (e.g. the Indian Durga who is transferred to Europe as Aphrodite) when turning to taboo characters like the Jewish Lilith for the mere edgy shock effect (the more one contemplates the demonization of 'elder' gods due to schism, the more the tragedy of their stories and fates is revealed, forbidding any tone of petty triumphalism when taking their perspectives). The Disney productions are basically the result of immature adolescents, _playing themselves on stage_ in order to force their apotheosis as idealized modern myths - which fits totally into a Masonic US political culture when a separatist British officer George Washington thrones above mortals like a Hellenistic demi-god in the rotunda of Congress... Fate is expressed in these events and will come to an inevitable conclusion, arguably in a similar manner as the collapse of the Anasazi civilization, proving that Lucas' did in fact little to initiate the youth into any tradition that could stabilize modern society...

When I was in 6th grade, my grandmother came to my house, while I was at school, stole my original ed Star Wars and special edition Star Wars VHS tapes and threw them away - because the Force was demonic. She also thought the Terminator was demonic because red eyes are demonic. Never forgave her for that. She still stands at the corner at Walmart with a “stop abortion” sign and thinks it’s her duty to stop people from doing what she doesn’t approve of. Even though Christ says love thy neighbor and don’t judge lest ye be judged🤦‍♂️.

it could have worked. subversion and deconstruction could be good and lead to REALLY good stories. but there is no care. there is only distain for the source material and it's only deconstruction for the sake of deconstruction. no reason or rhyme behind it with writers that aren't skilled or care. and crapping on fans with false equivilances and broad strokes. just to market a controversy that is false.
