Clownfish TV: Audio Edition
The Acolyte Ratings PLUMMET! Star Wars is COOKED!
The Acolyte Nielson ratings are in, and they’re REALLY BAD. Worse than Ahsoka. Face it, kids, Disney has run Star Wars into the ground, and it’ll probably NEVER come back to what it once was. ➡️ Tip Jar and Fan Support: http://ClownfishSupport.com ➡️ Official Merch Store: http://ShopClownfish.com ➡️ Official Website: http://ClownfishTV.com ➡️ Audio Edition: https://open.spotify.com/show/6qJc5C6OkQkaZnGCeuVOD1 The speaker believes that Disney’s Star Wars is a disappointment and that no amount of complaining will bring it back. 00:00 The Acolyte ratings are bad, and the show is not a hit, with Disney doing more damage to Star Wars than to Star Trek. 01:17 The Acolyte show is facing criticism and dropping ratings due to poor quality and lack of interest in characters, especially with child actors who couldn’t act. 03:37 The Acolyte ratings for Star Wars have plummeted by 75%, making it the second worst ever for Disney Star Wars. 04:55 The Acolyte ratings are low and the show looks cheap, with Ahsoka’s viewership nearly double, indicating Disney may be making choices that lead to failure. 07:26 Star Wars ratings are dropping, with negative media coverage and disbelief over the new episode’s content. 10:07 The Acolyte ratings are plummeting and Star Wars is in trouble. 11:27 The Acolyte ratings are plummeting, with Disney being blamed for destroying Marvel and Star Wars, and the speaker feeling their opinion is devalued due to their gender and race. 12:56 Star Wars ratings are declining, the original magic is gone, and the best hope is for new creators to be inspired by the old material.

This is neon. I am here with geeky sparkles and we're gonna talk about the acolyte. We're gonna talk about the Nielsen ratings. They're not good. The show's not the the hit that they're trying to make it out to be. I don't know why they're selling 25 $25 action figures. Yeah, 25. Yeah, coming next spring to Ollie's. It's spring 2025 line for Ollie's. Why do they even bother releasing any Star Wars figures at retail anymore? They should just make them Ollie's exclusive. There you go. Ollie's exclusive toy line. Star Wars, the the acolyte. So let's let's talk about this. Like look guys, you know, we're not gonna do endless videos on the show. It's just like every time you think Lucas film hits a new low, right? With with Star Wars, they just keep going lower and lower and lower and the bar is on the floor. I mean, I would say they've done more damage to Star Wars than has been done the Star Trek at this point. And I just I'm out. Like I'm in my head canon. Disney Star Wars does not exist in my my internal Jedi library. It simply does not exist. So it's been erased. It's been erased. How embarrassing. So let's talk about this embarrassing show before we get into it any further, please subscribe for more pop culture news, views and rants guys. You get woo hoo. If you do. Yeah, so you go out through the news, you go kinds of headlines here, including the the acolyte finale, solving the show's biggest mystery. The biggest mystery to me is why the hell this show exists. I agree with this crap. For what purpose? That's the mystery we need to solve. And whoever it was needs slapped. Well, that would be Kathleen Kennedy. And this is this is a show. Remember guys, okay, not only is it being run by Leslie Headlin, who was Harvey Weinstein's personal assistant, right? So Shpride did know some stuff. But like beyond that, this is the one that seemed like there was a bit of a power struggle going on, because Kathleen Kennedy kind of dropped this to the press. Yeah, it was what was it? The Hollywood reporter? Was it there about a variety? One of the one of the mallepiece. It got leaked that it was happening. And then the rumor was that the Bobs weren't happy about the leak, especially because it was tight. Leslie Headlin, who, you know, we were having that was the height of the Weinstein stuff. And they there was done at a time that if you canceled it, you hate women, you hate lesbians. And it looks it's the worst look to cancel it. At this point, you should have just canceled it. This is this is funny. They're talking about the pop song at the end, which is absolutely freaking terrible. They're like, oh, they went down to another song. This is the same awful guy. Oh, God, give me a heart attack. I made another one. No, so disclaimer, I've only seen episode three. That was more than enough for me. I'm like, this is awful. This is not not canon to me. I'm not watching any more of this show. I don't care about any of these characters. I will say that I did think the acting was pretty okay from what I call in the squid game guy and the witch mother, whatever. He'd be the only reason I watched this show. He was okay. He was all right. I think he deserved to be in a better show, you know, but the show just in general was awful. And we had to suffer through, you know, an episode with the, you know, the kids in Star Wars, it just never really works out anytime they have child actors in Star Wars. And this was not an exception. Like I'm like, these kids can't act and they don't look like twins either. They look different. Why they look different? And then it's the same girl playing them when they're older. But it's time about the ratings. I guess we'll go with, we'll go with episode one and two first from Nielsen. Now remember, guys, there is this other other outlet that was like, well, according to our super secret sources, the ratings are so much better. They were like according to people who use our app. They're known for their app. Yeah, they're like a far I think that that's all they said. But that's basically engagement engagement. But at that point, if they're going by engagement, a lot of people are doing like we're doing it, just talking about how bad it is. And you have a lot of people just making articles, you know, harassing stands who don't like it. So they're kind of not as engagement. Then yeah, there's engagement doesn't mean that people like the show doesn't mean they're watching the show. It means they're talking about it, but that's starting in a good way. Right, right. And a lot of people what they watched episode three because it was a train wreck. That was I didn't still refuse to watch it. Power one power to power many. Yeah, this should just made that the song. So this has come from cosmic book news. Nielsen Nielsen says, yeah, it's bad. The act of light, Nielsen ratings, Disney's Star Wars fan base plummets by 75% second worst ever for Disney Star Wars. Yeah, basically, everybody's been saying it's, you know, it's not as it's behind a soca and in front of an door. So it's it's next to last and or still like the lowest. Yeah, it's I mean, this isn't good. The act of light also cost double that of a soca hundred and a seven million versus a hundred million how is a soca they had like space battles and like farting space whales and like I don't even know what the hell's going on in the act like it looks it looks really low rent. I mean, really, I mean, that was the thing that struck me about episode three was it just looked like it looked like an episode of 90 Star Trek like I love it was supposed to be like one of the most expensive. Yeah, I mean, I love 90 Star Trek, but you can tell they had a budgetary limit. You know, it's like, okay, we're on a new planet that just happens to look like a soundstage. And it's, you know, it just got a bunch of rocks and, you know, that painting. We're on a new planet that looks like the desert in, you know, by in America. We're on another plant that looks like the forests in America. Pretty much. Or another planet. It looks like, you know, New York when it's ice and frozen over in America. Every, every planet in Star Trek look like California, you know, like different parts of California or a, a a soundstage. And this look like it looked like an episode of like 90 Star Trek. Nielsen range reveal that Soka's viewership is nearly, nearly double that of the acolyte. Yeah, doesn't surprise me. Disney and Bob are definitely can't be happy. I don't know. I, I really, is he paying attention? It's honestly, this point, the way they keep making these choices, I think that they want things to fail. I don't know why. Right off. But I don't know. I think it has to be on that because I mean, we tried. At this point, it's like they want, they keep making choices that indicate they want things to fail. Like, you're doing it on purpose at this point. Maybe they're thrilled. I don't know. Spring time for a bater. Yeah. What is it? It's like, what are you doing? Yeah. So it's number seven, right? Number seven. And that was two episodes. Yeah. So that breaks down to like 244 million minutes per episode, which the third, the third episode did better than that. But I think a lot of people are watching it because they're trying to, do they want to see what the stupid song was about and see what that relate? They really went there. So yeah, third episode did do better because, you know, a lot of people were checking checking out for those of you who don't know. I did review the third episode. And yes, lesbian space witches have dark side powers. They don't consider it to be dark side powers, but they can, they can make babies. And apparently in the new episode, the new episode gets like you said a lot of people are slamming the new episode because the, they can turn into gas now. Oh, that's what I heard. I didn't watch it. No, I saw it. I saw part of the clip on Twitter. People were showing the clip. I'm like, I mean, you eat enough burritos. That doesn't make any damn sense. They literally turn into black gas. Sorry. The space, the lesbian space witches can turn into black gas, which I have not seen. I mean, maybe I'm sure it's probably in some obscure. Let me breathe them in backs and it didn't come back when they were formerly missing an arm. You miss, you're missing your ear or your nose because I, whoops, I breathed it in. And then you get a diet because it reforms in your lungs. I don't know. I mean, again, this is like, this is more Star Trek than Star Wars. And I was thinking like skin of evil, which was like one of the worst episodes ever of next gen where the tar monster kills Tashoyar spoiler. Years ago, but like, it's like, what's your motivation or evil? And I'm lonely. And I just want to kill people. It was just like an obvious, like a mannequin. They just like, on a stick. And I was like, all right, my tar monster. You know, it's funny to be looking at this chart, though. It's like Netflix prime Netflix, Netflix, Netflix, Paramount plus Disney plus Netflix, Paramount plus who actually, you know, I mean, who was tiny Disney? But if you weren't born by that, Paramount plus had shows that were more popular or had in top 10 than that more than Disney dig. Disney has won the most all of its Netflix. I can't believe that sweet tooth beat Star Wars. I mean, what plan does because, you know, it's, you know, sex. Yeah, sex sells. Yeah, well, so lesbian space, which is actually made baby's the old fashioned way, maybe with like a space strap on or something, I'd get a lot more views. Yeah, but that's not where they went. Do they just sing a song about it? It's my lightsaber. So yeah, it's just not good. Like, I don't know what to tell you. And people are saying, I guess, the seventh episode is pretty bad. I phase every time I see one of these articles come up. I don't know. Like, I mean, look, we're not going to sit here and like constantly do act like videos and people would be like, well, you did more than one. Don't care. Just see how many freaking, I mean, mostly, mostly, we talk about mostly, we talk about, you know, hit pieces on fans who don't like this shit show. You want to talk about you want to talk about milk in the act of like go out to mainstream media and look at all the damn articles every 15 freaking minutes. Are you that the discussion and the articles about the act like get more views than the actual show? Oh, yeah. No, I agree 100%. And they're going by engagement. It's like when they like when they did that, I for which convention it was, was it San Diego that one year during the pandemic when they had it shut down, they were literally counting the maybe New York Comic Con, they were literally counting the videos made the views and the videos, maybe people about their convention as their engagement, like if we made a video about the convention about their what they were doing and how he wasn't going to work out, they counted those views from which got more than theirs as part of their engagement. That's kind of what they're doing. Oh, I got all this engagement. Yeah, because the media is not and they're just keep talking about it perpetually. Yeah. And it's just like, I mean, this this is not look when George Lucas said that Disney fundamentally did not understand the force. I think he knew they were going to do this. But again, it's like, what can he say? He took $4 billion. He took a $4 billion, a $4 billion payday from Disney. He already called them white slavers. I mean, it's pretty obvious what he thinks about Disney. And I got nothing. Like I said, none of this to me is canon. None of this to me is. No, but the takeaway here is the viewership is not great. I'm sorry. It's not great. I think in more recent episodes, people are thinking it's dropping off the top 10 in total. But the third, the third episode seems like, I think what you give back to that chart, I think they had 388 million minutes, which when you break that down. Brader 70 million, that was more than the first two had per if you broke it on per episode. So it did have an uptick, but that's because everybody was like, no, they didn't. And then we're watching it to see if it was true about the power one, power two power money. Yeah. That's why when I said it was going to go up because of that, I don't know what happened after that. But we're seeing these these numbers are not great. They're better than indoor, but they are definitely next to last as far as the ratings or the viewership. But the thing is, I think people liked and or hell lot better than they're liking the accolade. But people didn't watch and or I actually forgot to watch and or and I actually liked Rogue One, but I didn't watch and or because I was so checked out from Disney Star Wars after Boba Fett, nobody wanted that. I didn't care. I just don't care. Yeah, I feel the same way about this that I do Marvel. Like Disney has successfully destroyed two beloved frant like two of the things I love the most. I love Marvel comics for years. And I loved Star Wars for years. And they're just like both fricking dead. Well, that's because you're a straight white man in a big eight. Oh, okay, that's right. You know, it can't get rid of me fast enough. I have a giantness. In my opinion, matters more still sucks. Still white though. It it's ginger and white. So it's practically black. I ask Hollywood. I don't have the roles Hollywood does. Oh my god. Okay. Are we gonna wrap this up? Yes, I just, you know, I actually, I'm gonna be honest here. I get tired of talking about this. I really do. I get tired of talking about today in Disney Star Wars, Kathleen Kennedy, shatter pants and shot the bed, guys, entertaining in this. It would be the South Park episode was more entertaining. It was better ratings too. It's just like, I mean, I don't even know what to say anymore. I'm like, I'm, I'm doing these and I'm like, and in today's news, Star Wars still sucks. Why is it here? Do you want me to do another 15 fucking videos telling you how much Star Wars fucking sucks? Because it's just gonna continue to suck as long as Disney owns it. And they're probably never going to get rid of it. You know, and I don't think even get rid of Kathleen Kennedy. I don't think they can. I don't know why I don't understand this. I mean, like I said, the girl has to have something on them. There's no other reason that she's still there. It's like Star Wars is ruined. You had you had a chance to get the the original three back together. The original three leads back together. You blew that. You destroyed the character of Luke Skywalker. You're retconned. The origin of Anakin Skywalker. Like nothing. There's a freaking 5000 Jedi running around in a galaxy where Luke was supposed to be the last one. I still to this day do not know what the fuck the first order is or where the fuck it came from or what the fuck the Knights of Ren are. It's a fucking explain this to me. I think at this point, Star Wars to pull us up out of the hole needs the power of many to actually watch their shows and movie can give a shit and I think it's over. I don't think it's ever come. Here's like, here's the truth. The brutally honest truth. People listening to this video. The brutally honest truth is all the shit that we loved that got bought by corporations. It's never coming back. It will never be what it used to be. They're just zombie puppets. It's zombified. The best we can hope for. One, we always have the old stuff. We have the memories that we have attached to the old stuff. That's never going to change. Two, the best we can hope for is that people were inspired by original Star Wars and by original Marvel comics in the 60s, 70s, 80s and that they go on to make new stuff that- You don't have to make new stuff. It's only sequels and prequels and reimagining. It's just it's never- It's probably what has no balls. And I mean that in so many different ways. Are we going to wrap this up? Yeah, yeah. It's just you know whatever. I'm still processing. You know, I'm over it. I'm over it. It's just it's gone. It's dead and buried. It's not coming back. It doesn't matter how many freaking videos we make complaining about it. It's just done. It's just done. Star Wars, as the kids say, Star Wars is cooked. No, but it's cathartic for me. Especially when I get one of these stupid dumbass journalists being like, it's kind of an auto-tactic man. I'm an auto-tactic man that we need to chase out, you know, because I grew up with like a Star Wars and that was my Star Wars. I'm like, no, it was for everyone. It's for everyone. It always was. So we wrap this up. No, let's wrap it up. Please subscribe. We'll talk later. Bye. Thanks again for listening.
