Everything about this show is third rate. If it wasn't abusing the Star Wars IP no one would care about it.

Soooo maybe take that into consideration as opposed to trying to force a different target audience?
Star Wars was already organically diverse. There was never a need for any of this nonsense. |

I don’t think this show being bad has anything to do with the fact its central characters are women (or even that they bizarrely threw in an unnecessary scene referring to pronoun usage). I think it is because it is one of the worst written and acted shows I’ve ever seen (and certainly the worst in the SW universe). This is far worse than than even the abomination of a show that ST: Discovery became.
Again, I can’t fathom how this was even made once the scripts came in. |

House of the Dragon is proof that it doesn't. But the difference between HOTD and this is there's no agenda. It's organic, especially considering that it's just taking straight from the source material. Whats going on in the Acolyte isn't organic. It is forced. It's activism disguised as entertainment. That has A LOT to do with it being so bad. |

Maybe she should complain about women not watching Star Wars instead. She’s probably one of these people that thinks there is no difference between the men and women and their interests though and idiotically believed they just needed more women everywhere and that once the “patriarchy” was destroyed women would come. |

The show doesn't make sense. For some reason Disney wants to make Jedi inept and dark Jedi not evil.

And the GOT universe is loaded with strong female characters; HOTD even moreso. Hell, HOTD isn't even loaded with unnecessary female nudity and guys still enjoy it. Just make something good, dammit. And don't TELL everyone that this is a story about powerful women and diversity - just do it. Make the story. And if you don't beat people over the head with it, they won't get riled up about it. The list of successful efforts at this is pretty damn long. And NONE of them have every major voice out there publicizing how excited they are to piss off white males with this one...

What is good must be cut down.

I haven't seen this, but based on reviews I think I will enjoy the fallout and criticism more then the series.
