I see it getting downvoted in places where people can review-bomb it and stuff, but it reeks of an organised 4Chan campaign-type deal. It just lacks any real point that people could be honestly mad about en masse.I think part of the issue is that every awful clickbait hatefest YouTuber, streamer and so on had a video or was expecting to be able to create one, about how utterly rubbish The Acolyte was, and then... it wasn't rubbish. Maybe not stellar, but pretty watchable. So now they're trying desperately to astroturf hate. I don't think it's going to work very well.Agree. If that was true we'd see some sign of it here. A genuine "at war with itself" was TLJ (let's not relitigate it right now!), but the only hate I'm seeing here is from the guy who hates all the live-action stuff, which is fine but clearly not what the review-bombing stuff is about. It's similar on various Star Wars subreddits - I'm not seeing people hating. Some people are a little bored, but that's very different.That's an interesting take, I can see that given that she experienced it. I feel like seeing it primarily as an allegory slightly detracts from its foundational relationship to sci-fi - but then maybe it's both.</blockquote>
