it's amazing he is able to make an hour long video saying absolutely nothing and just slicing in clips from other media.

He even introduced Mae as "non-binary" which was never in the show.

He's talking about the actress, not the character.

well what does that have to do with the show?

Kevin Spacey is a rapist but it doesn't make his character in The Usual Suspects any worse.

He's just calling out the million inconsistencies in the writing, as well as bad acting, behavior of actors and the showrunner and several other things. Watch any part of it and you'll see what I mean.

This is a discussion board, We could discuss it here too.

Y’all could even talk about the inconsistencies you found.

I'd say it's a comment on the priorities of the showrunners. It's a legitimate criticism, given that those priorities take precedent over quality.

Eh, it’s not like she isn’t an Established actor and they plucked the first “nonbinary” they found on the street.

it seems like it was edited to entertain an ADHD 5 year old.

he keeps throwing in random clips and sound effects every 5 or 6 seconds.

I couldn't take any more than 2 minutes of it.

Eh
frick you.

You're a cheerleader and thus, a waste of time. Watch the video or don't watch it. I'm not giving you an executive summary.

Anyway, the audience has spoken. If you personally like it and want to continue watching it, go right ahead.

what was frightening or confusing about it?

It reminded me of the toy opening youtube channels my daughter watches.

I understand ADHD people need youtube content to watch as well that can match the pacing of a tiktok video, but it's just not for me (i don't have tiktok)

You’re in a thread for a show you didn’t watch discussing a review video you also didn’t watch without actually wanting to talk about anything specific.

You came here to not waste time?

Wow, you really want to coax that executive summary out of me, huh?

Just watch the video, dicknose. It won't kill you.

The problem is Disney hires showrunners, writers and directors from various backgrounds for an established IP knowing full well they will bring their own spin to the project. Star Wars fans don’t want this. We want consistency. We don’t care about their spin or how their personal experiences helped shape the project unless they actually grew up in a galaxy far away. Find something that works and the people who make it work and stick with it.

you’re probably right.

people go to McDonald’s and expect the same burger they liked the time before.

People talked about “Marvel Fatigue” but those
movies printed money when they were following the same mold every time.
