I've been thinking a lot about Disney+ and it's revenue streams. Its main revenue is from subscriptions and advertising. People keep saying that The Acolyte is a financial failure - due to streaming ratings, minutes watched. But here's the thing. Not all revenue is based on that.

Let's not assume that massage therapist workers in a spa are sex workers. This guy claims a sex addiction.. there's an issue there where he sees Asian massage therapists as sex workers.

Sitting in one spot as well - easier to pick up, breathing in the same air as those around you, even spaced apart. Vs movement through the aisle at the grocery store. Get in, get out. Shouldn't be spending the same amount of time at a grocery store that you do eating a meal.
After a thorough investigation by the NYPD’s Manhattan South investigators, it has been determined that there was no criminality by shake shack’s employees.

Hrm, a libertarian right leaning magazine trying to say that the murder of a gay college student (one of the most famous killings in the last 50 years or so) is actually not because they were gay.. Sorry, that doesn't pass the sniff test to me.
@thislilstangirl
Even Indara was visibly upset at his coaching of Osha; people want to talk manipulation, that was Sol the entire episode manipulating or straight out ignoring orders because he "felt" there was danger with absolutely no evidence.

Don't forget that the Ex's child was never his child and he married her under the pretense the child was his. There's a lot of crap here and I'd say this is a possible ESH, but she let him use his Nana's name on a child not even his. He has the right to reclaim that.
It was exactly what I wanted. Flaws and all (and really, my flaws were just it needed more time per episode, more episodes to flesh out some parts of it. That's it.)
No one who likes
#TheAcolyte
believes it's a perfect, flawless show. It's not.
We believe it's a great fresh step in a new direction fully removed from current Star Wars embracing new ideas, old ideas and fresh perspectives of the Star Wars universe.
THAT'S why we love it.
@darksidemae
I am just due to the repeated notion of memories being messed with/mind reading etc. I think Osha's memory is an unreliable narrator and we should not be taking episode 3 as a "this definitely happened this way".
@haalasback
Shared experiences and liking the same entertainment is a valid reason to make friends with people, and meaningful relationships build from there. Television, movies, video games, sports teams, it all works. All you need is a foundation to build on and that can be fandom.

I believe that Susan B. Anthony would not want to be pardoned for this. She was proud of her defiance and right to vote. To pardon this is to admit guilt. Nor would any of the members of women's suffrage movements.
To Leslye Headland: Thank you for this show. It brought so much of my love of the EU that I grew up w to the actual screen. The story you told (along w everyone else involved) touched my fandom heart & gave me a show I love. A dark side tale with hope and pain. I still want more.

It's pretty darn realistic - how many parents do this exact thing with their children - raise them with their beliefs, expecting them to follow in their footsteps. Thinking they know best for their children.

The ex has a right to be upset as it brings back memories to her of her child that died. But it was his nana's name and he deserves better memories of that name than what he got.

Oh, I read it. While I agree it's likely the drug trade was involved, there is plenty to show that it was just a homophobic. It's definitely got a bias in it - one of the 3 items referenced as a source is an article questioning whether hate crime laws are needed.

I remember kids of my parents' friends calling my parents by their first names and being shocked at the audacity. I was taught to call my parents' friends Mr. and Mrs. <last name here>. It would be rude to do otherwise.

What I saw there was exactly what she said. Tried to interview.. his body language is extremely aggressive and he’s very obviously being antagonistic and insulting. Then he lunges violently at her. She was completely right to respond the way she did. Get out of her face indeed.
Ok, I need to take a twitter break because damn it I am crying. I don’t know what I did to get attacked for being a Canadian liking Star Wars and criticizing a cancellation by posting Nielsen ratings but damn it. I have tried to be nothing but positive here.
@MoriMole
Does no one pay attention to ratings? It's TV-14. Not PG, not G. If people are letting their under 14 year olds watch on their own a show with adult themes where adults participate in violence or sexual moments, maybe they need to pay better attention anyways.
@MischievousMai1
I'll argue not all along, but put the pieces together easily. Mae would've told him who she wants revenge on and why. Finding out Osha was actually alive makes him wonder, and she's in the company of the very Jedi that killed her mother. So he put together everything.
@emtothea
Keep on tweeting what you think. We Canadians have just as much right to comment on the Royal Family as any other member of the Commonwealth - they're our Monarchs too - they even have a representative in our govt. It's vile, the way that family treated/treats Meghan.
D+ made a profit for the first time ever in the quarter that The Acolyte premiered. Now, there's a ton of other stuff that premiered that month - Bluey has been dominating D+ since its new season arrived, could be a ton of people subbed to sit their kids in front of that.

By the time we see old!Steve at the end of Endgame, he's now been alive for 180 years with 66 on ice. He's looking pretty good for 114 there! :) Gotta love cryogenics. Bucky's only 106 (and no idea how much time was on ice. I'm going to assume quite a bit of it.)
Master Sol of the High Republic Era was wrongfully erased. If the tragedy of Master Sol was a lesson the Jedi implemented into their curriculum to teach about attachments and darkness, then Anakin Skywalker might not have succumbed so easily to Sidious. In my TED Talk I will disc
@RottenTomatoes
This is glorious. It may not be a perfect show - but it's got everything I need for a Star Wars story. Check it out. There's a reason it's got a fan base :) The critics' score here is right on target.
I had a bit of fun last night on Rotten Tomatoes, did a quick study that to check my confirmation bias. I thought if they bad reviewed season 2 of The Rings of Power, I will also find bad reviewed for The Acolyte, and other shows in the same vein. Guess what I found? I was right!
@DrJenGunter
Same reason Cap didn't age while on ice from 1945-2011. Both were frozen (Bucky by Hydra between missions)There's some evidence of aging (hair growth, etc) when we see Bucky in CA:tWS (2013-2014). By Endgame (2023), Cap's aged 12 years. Then he goes the long way 1948-2023.

@GeorgeTakei
Did you read the article? The child is non-verbal and the only way they can communicate is by reading his emotions. In this case, the Mom, who is the child's caregiver knows him well enough to know he would be incredibly unhappy at the wedding. I think she knows best.
@inkbluelily
You know, she had sass and attitude right up until Yord showed up. Then you see her revert to the person she used to be with the Jedi I think. She masks. The closest she gets to who she is not w the Jedi is when she's chatting with Jecki about getting together to chat about Sol.

@cmclymer
There's not a lot of substance in this article though the sources may be more interesting themselves. The book by Stephen Jimenez (refuted by the law enforcement of course). The interview with one of the killers is paywalled.
@inkbluelily
I followed just fine too. I had to explain it to my husband though. At one point he said, she told her sister to die! How is that family loyalty? I said, how many kids yell at their family, I hate you and I wish you’d die? Now imagine you told your sister that mad and she did.
@TheFoxMatriarch
As a child of divorce, I will continually say that it was better for the family. Not having to live with the tension in the house. Staying together for the children is bs. People will be miserable and that is what is being taught to children when that is done.

You're wrong about that - I believe it is now widely available as information that in Michigan they could not count the absentee/mail in ballots until election day. Almost 3 million people requested those ballots. That's a lot of ballots to count.

And guess what - that's where the fans of a show will be adding revenue. A very female centric group of fans. Those of us who are on here (we're the vocal always onliners) - we're looking for that stuff. We're wanting to buy it. And women.. we have a lot of buying power.
I just want to say - we may feel unwanted by the larger community, but we have the community we created around

like Gemini twins in The Vampire Diaries? Not sure.. Anisaya cared about both. I think they were both being trained for different types of leader roles. I think Koril looked at Mae as her successor, Anisaya to Osha as hers. I also believe the coven shared power with each other.

wait no.. Tony doesn't create it. Homecoming has Peter creating it himself in the school lab. He was already out there doing his thing when he got Tony's attention in CA: Civil War. Peter's a genius in the MCU who figured out the webbing using chemicals in the school lab.
@chrissyteigen
My parents would've grounded me. And my inlaws don't like me to call them by their first names either. I have two Mom and Dads. And it's weird when they're around each other... like I'm disrespecting my Mom calling my mom-in-law Mom. So I don't think it's all of us.

If you read the lawsuit, it mentions Blizzard teams specifically. Only one item mentioned Activision alone. This is definitely a Blizzard problem so their campus is a good choice too :)
Likely, if someone watched for Marvel/Star Wars (like I do, they were already subbed. I buy the yearly. Regardless of viewing, those fans are already subbed. Did it bring in new subs? We don't know. We can assume the dislikers didn't watch. But still have their D+ subbed.
@azurelrenee
Yes. We see him through the female gaze lens - whose is it? Mae and Osha’s for the majority of the time. In battle I would say Sol’s viewpoint. He is who is based on who he is interacting w. The Stranger is a chameleon and we do not know him well without the other characters.

You can believe in both. I mean, there’s the parable about the man who dies in a flood because he didn’t accept rescue. He said God would save him. When he asks at death why God didn’t save him, he’s told God sent the rescue. The rescue is Science. That’s how.
@sawyeurism
I agree w this take. It won’t be removed from Disney+. They aren’t going to Willow it or do like Paramount did to Prodigy. D+ actually made a profit last quarter. Star Wars is too big. I am still seeing the ads for the show on youtube. They’re going to market the crap out of it.
@CohmacVitusStan
My belief is that padawans under the age of majority don't usually go on missions so she's still taking classes/training. Supported by Jecki being in a training class back at the temple and saying previously that she's been a padawan for 6 yrs and it was her first mission.
@away_throw81084
I don't understand it. I just chatted w my husband about it though - he's like, well to them, it's a holy war to keep it as "George" wanted it.
