Spoilers The Acolyte

[Set Harth]

Judging from the concept art they were going to use some kind of trooper (or trooper ripoff?) but I guess that got squashed.

Leslye Headland gave her first interview on The Acolyte's cancellation with The Wrap. To her credit, she seems pretty balanced and chill about it

"Balanced and chill about it" isn't how I would describe Leslye Headland's (Harvey Weinstein's former personal assistant) reaction. More like "bitter", "resentful," and "entitled."

But compared to Amandla Stenberg's diss track, her reaction is much more measured.

The parody of Amandla Stenberg's diss track is pure gold and the best thing that came from this whole disaster of a show that is The Acolyte.

She also calls out the inherent negativity bias of YouTubers seeking to monetize their criticisms, which is fair.

The evil YouTubers have a lot of fun with Headland, Stenberg and The Acolyte.

Not sure the relevance of pointing out the Weinstein connection. Doesn’t really seem relevant except to stir up some shit.

Just the usual grasping at straws for attention. It's really becoming comical at this point.

Becoming comical? I’ve found it pretty funny since the first Canadian chart.

The readings are OFF THE SCALE!!

You know, for a horrible show that no one watched people sure talk about it a lot

 

[SantaEddie74]

It's almost as if the active, public dislike of something is enough reason to watch something.

And then wonder why stuff they dislike keeps getting made.

Hmmm…. It’s almost like … it’s not necessarily a problem with the show, but possibly more of a problem with…

Nah! Couldn’t be that…

…

Could it?

 

[Crisp Conditions]

Characterizing Headland as author of Assistance would be more relevant.

 

[Campe]

Nah, the vocal minority is never wrong.

The empty can rattles the most.

There's a reason that fake snakes are put inside gag peanut brittle cans.

You know you might be on something..... no, never mind it couldn't be that.

Sometimes I wonder if peanut brittle is even a real thing, all anybody seems to get when they try to eat it is snakes.
