The Acolyte ATTACKS Fans Actors COPE With Failure

The Acolyte was Disney Star Wars for the new generation on Disney+. Leslye Headland created a show for her and Kathleen Kennedy rather than the fans. The Acolyte didn't appeal to the Star Wars fan base and so got cancelled after season 1. Amandla Stenberg who played the main role in The Acolyte didn't like this, and released a video talking about it. What can we learn? Is The Acolyte worth watching?

Star Wars The Acolyte was a Disney+ series that just didn't get a large viewer base and got cancelled. Normally that would be the end of the story, but there is blame to go around and people trying to avoid it. Amandla Stenbergs instagram video is an incredible example of how people can jump through logical hoops to avoid taking any of that blame. And the mental state required to not comprehend what people are saying about your show, no matter how succinct they are. Is it a lack of desire to understand? Or a lack of physical ability? What did you think of what you saw? Let me know your thoughts down below and as always, thanks for watching :)

Amandla reminds of Will Smith's kids on twitter
think they know everything when in actuality they're just yapping

[Werewolf.with.Internet.Access]

Amandla is what happens when you kids never hear the words “kiddo, I love you but…no, that’s NOT a good idea”

[PwncakeOW]

She said she was non binary. How can you be misogynist if they don't think of themselves as female.

“I grew up rich and privileged, which was really painful”

Amazing.

[ThomasTheStankEngine]

"How does being born the daughter of a millionaire with a silver spoon in your mouth and being on the Disney payroll since before you could read been?"

"Its been very painful for me."

Can't imagine why people say Hollywood royalty is out of touch.

And the petition to make The Acolyte non canon has more people than the ones to give it a season 2. Now THAT'S comedy

[NickNapoli]

The Acolyte: If you don’t like it, don’t watch it. This wasn’t made for you.

The fans: Ok.

Also The Acolyte: *surprised Pikachu face* How could have this happened?

[Moon-nkco]

It’s truly fascinating that this show was given a higher budget than the Super Mario Bros and Five Nights at Freddy’s movie and yet it managed to bomb so bad that Disney actually had to admit it was a failure

[willem]

If a fast food worker insults a customer, they get fired. Why do actors get away with insulting fans. They are the ones that are toxic.

She's been coping all her life to be authentic black when she grew up half white as the privileged daughter of a multi-millionaire from Denmark. So hard coping to authentically play the victim card and the race card when neither applied to her personally EVER in her life. It is just so pathetic.

[vladthedragon]

The arrogant smugness of these fully insulated adult children drives me crazy. They'll NEVER understand the human condition because they've been spared a full half of it through their wealth and ease, and they act as if they're enlightened and righteous judges of both contemporary and historical humanity. They don't understand ANYTHING but social reality because they're fully provided for, the material is invisible and they see material concern as beneath them due to it.

[ianbanks]

She's a millionaire, in a position of incredible privilege, but still thinks she's oppressed and a victim. The simple truth is this, if enough people watched the show they would have renewed it.

[cappy]

They believe "living in bubble of own reality" is an endearing personality trait

[DrWackySanchez]

The "I use big words I've heard to sound smarter" start pack

Amandla Stenberg's contribution to this train crash:
1. She stated "Nerds are gay in my world" in a pre-release interview. Since the potential audience consisted largely of nerds who are NOT gay, that was a huge insult.
2. She spent most of her screen time with zero emotion on her face. That is acceptable in a bus driver, and desirable in an astronaut, but for an actor it is failure to do the job.
3. She repeated Hollywood's narrative of "toxic fans" in this video, and in her cringe-twerking "diss track". The actual comments from those people are mostly reasonable critiques of writing, acting, casting etc. By spreading toxic propaganda, she further alienated the potential audience.
I honestly think that you needed only two things, Amandla - HUMILITY and CHARISMA - to make the Acolyte a moderate success and gain a second season.

[kckbro]

She talks about bigotry, but made a diss against an entire demographic! Hypocrisy and projection are strong with this one lol.

[dantespicysausage]

"HyPeR cOnSeRvAtIvE" being anyone that doesn't 100% agree and cowtow to their every little whim

[TheRonaldbaxter]

She is a narcissist. Her world, her truth. She can’t be wrong so everyone else must be.

[ASoberBear]

Side note: The taking the piss out of the Danish as a running joke is hilarious.
