Why I am boycotting The Three Body Problem
So you liked it...
There was a time when the sound barrier was declared as absolute as the light barrier. We have yet send a single object to anywhere near the speed of light! We have yet to declare any speed attained in relation to light speed. Until we do, one cannot claim Einstein's calculations are absolute
Well honestly, apart from some DEI stuff I think you and critical drinker are in agreement that the quality of show is for 12 yrs olds not adults.
Star Wars for Grown ups is incredibly boring as hell. When Star Wars was for kids it was fun we had swashbuckling adventures, escapism, and the messages were easy to digest without feeling like you're being preached too. Now we stand around and talk about our feelings. We have to deconstruct the Rebels to show how gritty and villainous they can be. Who knew the Rebellion origins would be so boring. If this show didn't have Star Wars in the title, we wouldn't watch it.😮
'It's for kids' ... sure, ok, Clone Wars is for kids too and still a billion times better 😮

Slam on the critical drinker. Personally I love them both and get upset when the two brother squabble
Blud doesn't know about the Thule Tacyonator 💀💀💀 His soul will forever be weighted down by gravity! 🌎🇦🇺☄️
10% light speed would be enough to reach Alpha/Proxima Centaurio within a human lifetime, and after we settled on a planet there, the next generation could start to the next nearest star system and reach it in a few decades. Humanity would start spreading from one star system to the next over the centuries and in this way could reach further away star systems by taking inbetween steps. This is how alien civilisations could spread (and reach our solar system) over many star systems as well.
Trying to defend the slop they gave us is sad
You don't want slop, don't eat at McDonalds. Move on, grow up, engage with some books and theatre instead of cramming childish shit into your head once you're a grown man.
Disney Star wars "squarely aims" homosexual themes at 12 year olds.
oops...forgot his team weren't supposed to say the BIGOT bit out loud...NOTED
@@DamienWalter The Pedo bit
how much you got paid to say this bro😂
I don’t know any 12 year old kids who wanna watch lesbian witches in a Star Wars show, weirdo.
Thank you! Critical Analysis is much appreciated. Campbell's Monomyth has been in the DNA of Star Wars from the beginning. I've been trying to find some perspective on the show, as my opinion is still out on whether an interesting story is being told here. There are a lot of opinions out there about this series already, but you know what they say about opinions. Most of them aren't that interesting.
is this massive pussy for real haha.. bald old wears rings and trigged by none woke youtubers laughing at lesbian starwars haha your just emasculated dude
This show shows how Disney forces the perv woke agenda on people
Shhh! Dude...you're not supposed to say the BIGOT bit out loud...
I mean, the Acolyte is not for anyone with a modicum of taste and basic literacy...
my god it the hero's journey a tale as old as time, they hire hack writer and show runners that actively hate the material they are working on and the original EU filled with strong well written fan favorite female charters. There issue is that all of it was mad many by men for men and they want to make it a girls brand even thought they make up 30% of the fan base. fuck 3 part acre isn't hard
LOL this show is pure trash
8:01 I've heard he never described what he saw as saucer shaped. It was said, what he saw skipped like a saucer.
Im all in to watch bandit join the rebellion
I have enjoyed the Acolyte thus far, but to be honest im really here to listen to you wipe the floor with critical drinker.
I’m 47 (saw empire & rotj in theatres) and don’t get the hate .. but then I remember fans have been like this for every Star Wars release since Phantom Menace & there’s alot of mega rich people (Elon musk,ect) pandering to angry people and spreading anti-woke onto everyone’s screens w/their money. I really like the analogy of Disney being woke to Dracula being woke. corporations can’t be woke, Bud light can’t be woke.. they don’t look at people as being human, just as #’s. I don’t think Disney has much creative input anyway, it’s LucasFilm on Disney’s budget. It’s kind of like calling George Lucas woke. Most of the people working there worked under him, and understand his vision more than anyone
Well, you brought out the hate lemmings. Nice job.
Can't we get something NOT Star Wars, Game of Thrones, etc. Isn't there any thing else out there?
13:00 You can have a standard model within another standard model, isolated by a "bubble of uncertainty" that separates the two spaces. It is the base of the Star Trek Warp engine: the ship is static in its space-time, where time runs at the same speed as in the external space-time, but on the bubble border the two space-time flows between they at great speed. If the ship is not careful, it can cause a worm hole on itself, but as long as it can control the speed and have enough energy to maintain the bubble, it can "cross" the external space-time without fear of colliding with a rock or a planet. Bubble calculations by Alcubierre is a first approach to the problem.
0:59 not about emotions. About logic and sense.
I really don’t understand the bashing of this show, there’s two occasions in which I rolled my eyes (1) squid actor going from « her sister is dead I’m sure of it « to « she’s alive I trust you » 2) the shadow sister going from « I love you » to « I’ll kill you » within 5minutes). Otherwise I felt it was pretty cool, clearly some matrix kung-fu references in there with Carrie Anne moss, which made me smile I have to admit. Of course you re not experiencing adult oriented narratives like Andor but still I was quite surprised by the ship/prison escape, some of those characters were quite daunting and straight out of a cyberpunk universe.
Yaaaaaaas yyyaaaaaaaaasssss
1:54 INTERESTING... I've heard that the Andromeda galaxy looks like a fuzzy spot of light to the naked eye (if you're sufficiently high-altitude and away from cities). It takes lots of sharp exposure and zoom to get proper photos of it.
"YAS, YAS!" Apparently Star Wars is ratchet now.
hahahahahaha no the show sucks
First two episodes were okay. Ish. It wasn't horrible or amazing, general okay ish new Star Wars. Episode 3.... Worst TV has had on a long time. Acting, plot, motives, pace .. Very lowest effort and quality I've seen in any show. Even though the overall story in episode 3 wasn't bad, it was horribly executed. Singing was rencon importu amateur stuff that kills work the cringe. Stone fortification burning from a book. I'm sure the Jedi did something bad. Or didn't. We don't know because it was awfully cut. Character personalities went all over the place. I had no problem with lesbian witches, they were okay until they started singing/chanting. Creating children with the force wasn't a big deal either (Anakin was born from the force not made by someone). Forgetting everything about Star Wars, seeing this show on its own... 1 and 2 were okay, 6 out of 10, maybe 7. Episode 3 was barely 1.
To me, all the female lead, lesbian witches, none of this was bad. There were cool looking characters and I wanted to see them kick ass. Acting however was very poor, only Boba Fett was worse acting wise. Not evening if about woke or hating women. Sometimes it's just crap quality.
The stats are in: According to The Wrap and data from Parrot Analytics, female audiences prefer shows like Loki and The Mandalorian over projects specifically targeted at female audiences like Ahsoka. Women's preferences are not always what the studio executives try to target. Take it how you will.
Kenobi was made for everyone. New shallow characters and old discredited ones. Disney might know how to sell toys but doesn't understand Star Wars.
I would like to submit what the common definition of "starship" is. One that was built in orbit and not intended to enter atmosphere except in rare conditions. Kirk's Enterprise was more than a rocket or shuttle because it was independent of port. Self sufficient for extended duty. Not a warship but capable of defending themselves and planetary societies they encounter. Not a science research vessel but capable in that realm as well as medical and engineering experts. A mobile city.
Ahahahahahahahaha ,,,,ahahahahahah one comment from one of the actors is and I quote “when anakin blew up the Death Star,,,,,” I won’t go on hahahaha
And how would it affect his acting as a character who lived and died before the Death Star was created? Harrison Ford or Alec Guinness didn’t give a flying fuck about SW lore either, Alec Guinness even despised it. It didn’t make them bad at their job.
@@kamillavalter without truly studying the source material and winging it in a well established saga and layering in things that have no actual benefit to the story telling,,,,plus he is a terrible actor he looked like a deer in the bloody head lights in his scenes so far but hey I’m just an old 39 year old asshole with nerdy interest and an opinion that this whole Star Wars being a patriarchy crap?,,leia was a damn girl boss in the freaking senate and Luke was a bitch boy on a ball of sand , this acolyte thingy??,,, it’s absolute delusion hahahaha.
Oh no.. this is just plain and simply terrible TV.. stop defending this Trainwreck.. and stop attacking Critical Drinker for having opinion..
Its so funny how the critics have nothing to say to protect the show, so they just have to make up stuff as they go along, "angry middle age men" "show made for kids" the funniest part is that the show isn't even half way done, Disney is doomed, they just lost all of their remaining fans and only these bald mindless feminists remain...
I don’t really care for the Acolyte, but there are some elements that I find interesting. I like the portrayal of the Jedi and that the both sides of the conflict are in the wrong. The music is really cool, it has a SW feel, but at the same time is not heavily influenced by the original soundtrack (like Rogue One, for example). It is always nice when composers try something different. The acting is good (except the kids - well, kid actors are usually not great). I don’t like the exposition dump in the dialogue, but there are some beautiful lines too. It all has the Clone Wars feeling (and I love some of the CW). Actually, when the Acolyte was announced, I imagined some kind of a gritty noir-ish murder investigation and was a bit disappointed when I saw the first trailer. But at least it is better than the recent Dave Filoni stuff, so I’ll continue to watch while waiting for season 2 of Andor.
Ah yes, the age old argument "it's a show for kids" shills use to dodge genuine criticism over bad shows they like. 😂
