They should have had a scene where they used the force to abort after that pagan in vitro party.

I'm going to watch the show just so I get better context for this:
Because everyone chose to ignore the lesbians in that.

Characters written like they are actual people.

I would guess everyone ignored it as they were better-written characters and actual tension in Andor, but I haven't watched Acolyte to compare.
The lesbian angle seems to be the only marketing leg they have to stand on for Acolyte from what I have seen or read.
Either way, don't care, but I loved Andor.
Sound in space adds to dramatic tension and helps inform the audience of events on screen. Even an otherwise highly accurate show like The Expanse made this concession. About the only modern space show that had silence in space was, I believe, Firefly, but I may be wrong about that one as well since it's been a hot minute (and I think they had radio screeches and muted sounds just to fill it anyway).
A blazing fire flickering away as if it were a campfire is silly looking even if ships burning in space (like X-wings tended to do in ANH) is a "thing" in Star Wars. But ultimately nit-picks like this show the audience isn't engaged. If The Acolyte was hitting like S1 Mando, no one would care about stuff like that. But hate watchers definitely look for that stuff.

I think most female writers fundamentally just don't understand the difference between cool and lame and it shows in every female led project
For guys growing up it's basically existential to understand that. Especially when you're young and trying to make it in the world. Young guys don't get by on their looks, it's by being cool and gravitating to interests that are cool
This is the lamest thing Ive ever seen and being an all female team I bet it didn't even register with anyone involved
If Star Wars isn't trying to be cool then wtf is the point of it

Technically fire is an Earth only phenomenon as far as we know and has never been observed anywhere else, nor is it really expected to be found elsewhere unless we find very Earthlike planets. And also didn't exist for many eons on Earth. It's the current chemical composition of Earth and the way the planet has evolved that allows fire to be a thing
So if any SciFi is doing fire outside earth you could argue they've got it wrong.

Zack Snyder says, "hold my beer"
But yes, women fail at writing to appeal to men just like men can fail to resonate with women.
But like most things in life, men are usually better at it.

Havent watched the episodes but this scene is really from it?
Its made for girls, so of course there will be a musical scene, just like The Marvels.

I'm starting to understand how incels are so many nowadays, if I didn't have interactions with real women and all my info about them came from pop culture I'd hate women too. This shit not only makes women look like insecure clowns but also exposes the deep narcissism and stupidity of the women that write this trash. Hollywood truly has zero self-awareness

Man people are reaching for what can be easily summed up as "shit writing and shit direction."
Before I show this to someone and laugh at it with them I need to check something. Is this serous or they making a joke I don't get?

Another spectacular episode, the chess match between the twins was fun to watch, and there's an awe of discovering the night sisters world.
When they turned the pages I thought it must be a bit. What could possibly be on the second page?

In context, this is the last 10 minutes of her special on Netflix. She was actually telling jokes and getting laughs before this part.

No i don't. Hate the Sororitas i mean. They are my army of choice. And the reason for that is the Rule of Cool.
Star Wars lost it's spark. South Parks "gay and lame chicks" really hits the spot.

To be fair, the Nightsisters were heavily featured in Jedi Fallen Order (its the only media I know them from).

There must be a point where disney stocks are going to fall like a rock and maybe this mandness will stop. It's impossible to keep releasing trash like this for years to no end. Not even disney can sustain this.

Is anyone prepared to fuck up their Netflix recommendations to fact-check this?

Not really. They crowed about the 4.8 million views for the first couple of episodes. And they'll obfuscate if the views drop significantly. Hate watchers probably helped grant them a win for this out of the blocks with the shareholders.
Can't stress how much people who don't want this shit to continue should actually stop engaging with it altogether.

as a complete outsider, whose never gonna watch the show nor care. So take my opinion with a grain of salt, also i don't have the full context of what is happening.
i must say this clip has the worst acting i have ever seen in a high budget tv show.

The only thing missing in this scene is Darth Vader busting in and brutally killing all of them with his lightsaber. That'd be high art.
Only the Dark side, that dude is always hustling.
The light side cooks you breakfast in bed, then quickly moves in, sets up a PS5 in your living room, and then hangs out forever cause "that next job is right around the corner".
"MANdness" is that what you call taking a bit if male centered media and making it AGGRESSIVELY female focused no matter the consequences?
