Extra of piggy being a manbaby and still consuming the Acolyte, which is a shitshow on its own. Star Wars is a dead franchise, much like many of Rick's dinosaur toys and dying sci-fi franchises obsession.

Why are these faggots so incapable of understanding that tweeting #SaveTheAcolyte and bitching on social media doesn't mean anything. The only thing that matters to Disney is streaming numbers like watch time, and to a lesser extent merch sales. Reminder of how Acolyte did for those:
The Acolyte had a dramatic fall from grace following a strong debut when its first two episodes generated 4.8 million views on launch day, making it the biggest series premiere on Disney+ this year according to Deadline.

This earned it seventh place on Nielsen’s Top 10 originals chart in its premiere week with 488 million minutes viewed. It climbed one spot in the second week but was booted out of the list in the third following an online backlash to the show driven by complaints about its quality and the diversity of its cast.

As our Forbes colleague Paul Tassi wrote, Disney has deleted all official Acolyte merchandise from its store, though he added that it also isn't available for certain other Star Wars streaming shows. Nevertheless, he pointed out that old links to specific items didn’t just have a sold-out page, the listings were gone completely and returned error pages.

Combine that with the fact the show cost at least $230 million to make (which is more than every series except Andor, which has 50% more episodes, and is generally considered to actually be good), and they can rage about racist incel chuds and review bombing all they want but it's clear even the fucking normies hated this shit show.

Because that shit used to work, a lot of current entertainment has been shaped by dumbass executives believing that the terminally online dentheads on Twitter screeching about gay shit would lead to sales when those people in fact don't even like or buy your shit in the end but also alienate your actual audience. Also those screechy people are universally fat, especially in the brain so there's a lot of inertia going on before they stop, if they can actually stop before their blood resembles big mac sauce and makes their heart explode.

Deleting the merch links is strange, you'd think they'd want to at least sell out or clearance what they have to retards like Rick.

As to above, online bitching used to work because things weren't tracked well at all, and the response time was measured in years.

Now on Disney+, the executives know exactly how many people have watched each second of the show, and can see it in realtime.

Ironically increased advertising tracking is going to kill this shit because it won't be able to be "hidden" in general viewer estimates like TV used to be.

That's plausible. You can tell this narcissism even by comparing his non sex predator headshot to the portraits of practicing writers. Stephen King for example is a nutjob in his own way but he's undeniably successful.

While he is using his hand in one photo is a headrest do you know what he's not doing? He's not pointing at his own brain like he's mommy's best boy, and his output is much higher than Pat's. Even the guy who deserves more to be arrogant isn't specifically choosing an arrogant pose for his photos. There's obviously a lot of "I'm the best!" Irrational narcissism going on with Pat.

She-Hulk also apparently did real well for its first week then dropped off. The actress is currently in a spat with Ryan Reynalds because her cameo was removed in the Deadpool Wolverine movie. These sorts of metrics though are usually due to how many people are talking about the show, whether good or bad and in the end they lie and say that the show did well. We've also seen Disney go and buy positive reviews for their movies like The Little Mermaid to bring up viewer scores since that matters only after a show finishes. Not during it since all websites care about are critic reviews even if they're all either out of touch, biased, or paid shills.

People like Bob and Patrick though also point to the critic reviews as proof of something being good and viewer reviews being bad because "review bombing" which is the go to for when a bad show does poorly. Zero accountability from anyone.

Gonna tism for a bit here, but it's actually impressive how poorly the acolyte did. Andor, which cost $250 million, used to be the gold standard for a streaming bomb, and was only picked up for a second season (reportedly at a significantly reduced budget) because it got really good retained viewership long after its initial airing due to good word of mouth. Acolyte got less than half the viewers of Andor, a certified bomb, with none of that good word of mouth and a ridiculously fast drop off. Acolyte almost assuredly had a budget higher than Andor's, despite not only being 8 episodes to Andor's 12, Andor tended to have episodes that were longer than Acolyte's, often by 8-10 minutes. Somehow, despite a significantly higher budget per minute of filming, Acolyte had characters die off screen because they reportedly didn't have the budget for those fight scenes, along with extremely cheap looking effects overall. There is a non-zero chance that Acolyte somehow cost in excess of $300 million. There isn't the faintest chance in hell of this garbage being brought back, and there has to have been money laundering involved somewhere.

You know how Star Wars set pieces are notoriously unsafe? They had to spend all that extra money to fix that now that they actually had OSHA on set.

We're getting offtopic here but I just realized that idiots who fully believe the DEI line are also going to fully believe the OSHAMAXXing line where you not only fully comply with OSHA, but also comply with union safety, and have safety operators and officers, and basically never say no to any line item, ever.

No wonder costs blossom.

Yes, proving you are who you are is racist, apparently.

In the "old days" where voting was in small communities, the old grandma running the poll would ask your name, find you on the list, cross you off, and give you a ballot.

It's apparently super turbo hitler racist to ask to prove you are who you say you are, and not someone who just read some names upside down and is now coming back for more.

He wants to make sure Kamala wins with all her illegals she brought into the country. Stuff like this should be federal. There's no reason why States should have this power. Illegals only serve one purpose, target practice.

I've never seen someone with such little imagination.

> Good morning. I'd like my ballot. My name is Patrick S. Tomlinson.

> Just a second Mr. Tomlinson. Uhh... There appears to be a problem.

> You're wrong, child. There is no problem. Just give me my ballot so I can save democracy and go home.

> Mr. Tomlinson, you already voted this morning. In fact, you were the first in line. You were wearing a "Make America Fat Again" t-shirt and screaming that you were going to, how do I say this... "fart in Kamala Harris' quarter-black puss."

> *long pause* Baaaaby child...
