Headband resolves every "mystery" within 20 seconds

And always in the most obvious ways

This show is building to nothing

The Thirst Trap episode was a cringey slog. Made me wish I had never started watching. But I always finish the shows I start.

you keep saying property because you know
you’d sound dumb saying it’s part of the show.

Reviews aren’t supposed
to be for every interview and your general opinion about the actor.

They’re supposed to be your opinion of the show.

I am saying the property to differentiate it from the individual episodes, or from the larger IP of Star Wars

The property in this case is "The Acolyte".

So the pre-release promos, trailers, and interviews are a part of the marketing for the show. So it makes them fair game to be used in reviews for the show.

What if I told you they ARE those people's opinions of the show? They don't like it because of the marketing, interviews, and promo material.

There is a better word for that. it’s Show. But you know your arguement falls apart if you start to say the interviews are part of the show.

You also know the reviews are supposed to be for the show. No one includes their opinion of the trailer in legitimate movie reviews.

And yet my argument is solid, and standing. Promos and marketing are part of the show.

As I have stated, they are in this case.

for reviews before a show releases an episode? Sure they do.

Why wouldn't they?

Actors can say whatever the frick they want and if it’s not true?

Do you just like arguing? It’s it performance art? Some sort of writing challenge?

Half the posts ITT have been you white knighting for a shitball show

Weird stuff

I disagree

So do thousands of reviewers.

part of the brand, yes

A bad commercial for a Whopper could lead to negative reviews for a Whopper. Impossible Whopper is a good example of this.

Andor was better than Rogue One, imo

Rogue One, like Endgame, is only remembered so fondly because of the final battle scene


I have to slightly disagree with this. I watched Rogue One again not that long ago and absolutely loved it. There's so much good throughout that entire movie. The first time I watched it I was kind of meh on it to be honest.

Do you have anything better to do than arguing with random people on the internet about a Star Wars show?

Good lord, man. Give it a fricking rest

Seems like there are 2 sides to this argument

Why not call them out?

What's crazy is that nobody is making that argument

A commercial or promotional campaign can have an effect on someone's enjoyment and/or perception of a sandwich, positive and negative.

The advertising industry is built on it

I wonder what would happen if we counted the posts in this thread, and how many are attributed to each posters.

You think Disney Wars is the greatest, we get it.

It is also why the I and the other Star Wars fans in this thread find you so amusing.

On the other hand, at least you are a fan. The 420 guy is just here to say everyone who doesn't like the show is racist, sexist, and homophobic.

Keeps telling us he is a fan, while constantly shitting on Lucas and Lucas' movies. But he is totally a fan. Totally a fan. You betcha!

I think Forrest is a bad actor, generally.

He just has some roles where he isn't complete shite.

He is an amusing character, though, and does the lovable loser role quite well.
