Mastodon3Bluesky8- Jul 4 executiveotaku.bsky.socialWatched The Acolyte now that my friend got me back into his Disney account. It was decent enough. Pulp martial arts fiction in a good way I think, it just happens to have spaceships. Probably not going to be amazing but solid entertainment for someone like me who is into both martial arts and scifi.
- Jul 4 did:plc:plike46pn6bnig6vfoo6tzzjThe first episode was weirdly stilted and awkward. But, after having watched episode 6, I think The Acolyte is actually good. One thing that it does particularly well is show a compelling seduction to the dark side, which has always seemed forced in other Star Wars projects.
- @Josh412@mastodon.socialFinally watched the first episode of The Acolyte. That opening fight! Very pleased with this. #StarWars
- Jul 4 drgator.bsky.socialHoly fucking shit The Acolyte episode 5!!!!
- @Mobile_dom@mastodon.socialwild how the acolyte went from "OH MY GOD, WORST SW SHOW EVER" to "HOLY SHIT THIS IS AMAZING" in the span of 2 episodes. people don't understand pacing anymore, media literacy is through the damn floor. I'm a fan of binging series, but its clearly rotted a lot of peoples brains
