A person with narcissistic personality disorder is shot multiple times by their own hand, a mishandling of the gun that they had bought and refused training on just to appease their massive ego. The ambulance arrives and the highly trained EMT’s beg the narcissist to just let them do their job, let them do their job and they will be able to save the narcissist’s life, but the narcissist pushes the EMT away again and again, making it impossible for them to help the dying egomaniac, at which point they give up, staring in amazement as the narcissist plugs the bullet wounds with their fingers, smugly looking up at their potential savors while bleeding out, and uttering their last words “I’ve used bandaids before, I’m more qualified than anyone to treat these wounds that I most definitely did NOT inflict upon myself”! There are moments where I still find it impossible to believe that the empty suits at Disney would have such fragile egos that they would refuse to admit any fault in their catastrophic mishandling of the Star Wars franchise, but after watching The Acolyte, an at-best average Star Wars experience that just barely clears the bar that Disney keeps lowering for itself, it’s obvious that the suits at Disney are the self-inflicted gunshot wound victim who would rather die than admit that they have made a terrible mistake and attempt to regain the support of the fans who actually matter. The only thing more exhausting than Disney’s refusal of responsibility are the endless idiotic reviews which are either overwhelmingly in favor of or against Disney Star Wars. The main reasons for the negative review being that Star Wars is now “woke”, while the positive reviews are that the negative reviewers are all “angry white guys” or “incels”, but no where to be found in any of the reviews are reasons why the show is either good or bad. Those people are fighting their own personal war, a never ending battle of being correct in their political correctness, a war in which there will never be a winner, because you don’t get to win, it doesn’t matter if you are white, or gay or a person of color, because it is a goddamn TV show, and whether you feel represented or not has no bearing on whether the show is well-written or acted, a fact that is amazingly overlooked by people who fail to realize that the two are NOT mutually exclusive - if you are black or white and the main character is the same race, that in no way means that a show is good. It’s shocking how emotionally stunted, how dimwitted a person would have to be to not be able to judge something accordingly, simply because THEY feel slighted. Even when a person attempts to provide reasons for why a show is good, 9/10 the person is usually so far off base with their takes that it’s almost seems as though they didn’t watch the show at all (they usually always mention cinematography), or they are just providing an opinion and not an objective perspective on why the show is good. If it needs to be explained why it is important to avoid subjective opinions, then idk what to tell you, because you have a lot of work to do and it’s hardly my burden to explain to you the difference of subjective and objective opinions. Erik Kain at Forbes is one of the few professional reviewers who gets it right and who isn’t afraid to incur the wrath of fans, so if you want an honest and impartial view of The Acolyte or most movies for that matter, then he is the guy to trust when it comes to reviews.
