Star Wars: The Acolyte (it’s dead Jim)

[Shamikebab]

In a broader context I'm amazed these days how many consumers are happy to just have **** shovelled down their throats and say they enjoyed it rather than demand better, sometimes with an attitude of "better than nothing"...

I'm always amazed that some people don't understand that different people like different things

Sure tastes are subjective but that doesn't mean something is what the vast majority of people would consider good.

Fallout with over 4 times the number of the acolyte (12 billion compared to 3), guess it just shows how pathetic the numbers for D+ really are.

The Acolyte views is equivalent to about 8 million people watching the series if my maths is right. Not great for $230m they apparently spent on it.

Half of those were probably youtuber hate watchers
You can see why it was cancelled though, one of the most expensive tv shows ever made and not many people watched it despite spin headlines like the above.

That 8m figures assumes everyone even watched the whole thing, I suspect the numbers who started it will have been a lot more but viewership dropped off a cliff as it went on.

I still wouldn't mind seeing a synopsis for what they had planned though.

Turns out this was the second most watched show on Disney+ last year, with 2.7 billion minutes watched.

I still didn't bother with it.

Why ‘The Acolyte’ Was Disney’s #2 Most-Watched Show Of 2024, And Still Cancelled

The Acolyte, it turns out, was Disney Plus's second most-watched series of the year, and it still ended up cancelled. Why?

That really isn’t a flex and the numbers are ****.

How many signed the petition to un-cancel? They all must have it on repeat and still living in hope. The power of many!!!

I still suffer second hand embarrassment every damned time I'm reminded of that scene.

Divorced house wives lapped it up probably. Got the neighbours around and started chanting hexes on their exes afterwards!!

Surrounded by their many, many cats which likely joined in.

The bridgertons season 3 (a show squarely aimed at Women) nailed a total watchtime of 11B minutes. 2nd Highest for the entire year.

Well there is the problem, all the female viewership they were aiming for was off watching some romance show instead of an action flick. Don't these women know what year it is
