Unfortunately I believe I have cracked The Acolyte. The witches made Smilo Ren first, but he turned out to be too unstable and evil because he was just one person (ala Anakin) so they locked him away. Then they created the twins and they were the good ones because they formed a diad (ala Rey and Kylo). The jedi found and released Smilo, and he killed all the witches. This is why the jedi feel guilty. This also lets them use the excuse that he's not a Sith because he's actually from the witch cult. Ugh.

Africa is lucky to have RLM

Ignoring starving kids in Africa is the only joy in my life.

One problem RLM have is that in a way, they *are* "the discourse." They've been so big and so influential for so long, that they're constantly being quoted and memed in various contexts that may have nothing to do with them, other than the fact that one of them, at some point, expressed something pithily or funnily enough for it to stick in people's minds. And they've inspired a lot of very popular creators in various ways. I think of it a bit like a very niche Beatles, in the sense that if you're involved in nerd culture and/or media, it's virtually impossible for their existence to not have had some effect on you, even if it's that you don't want to be like them at all. Even if you've never watched them, you've likely watched someone they've influenced, which in turn influenced you in some way. Even if you're an alien that's just been dropped into current online pop culture/nerd discussions, you may not bring anything RLM related to the table, but the table's already been set by people who do. I think they somewhat resent that they're not just alone out there doing their thing, that they're being quoted in contexts they don't necessarily agree with, or that they come up in some way or another in conversations they don't want to participate in. So they end up doing stupid shit like spending lots of time on stuff they don't necessarily want to be perceived as involved in, which of course just involves them further. Whoever said that they should've just done their review without addressing any meta commentary was spot on, IMO. Or better yet, they should probably let go of Star Wars, because they've already said years ago that they think the SW universe has nowhere to go, they obviously don't care about it, and they, generally speaking, mostly don't enjoy it. Which is fine, except that when you were once a huge SW-related deal, and then you get bored and become a SW normie, people who were with you before tend to not particularly enjoy your lackluster takes. Also worth mentioning that they were always a bit stand-off-ish with their audience, were never particularly respectful of other people (that's fine), were generally rather insular as far as content creators go, and when they did do stuff with other people it ended up biting them in the ass a couple times, so I'm not about to suddenly start clutching my pearls over it. I'm not mad, I'm just momentarily mildly disappointed. Either way, they'll do what they will. I'm personally with Rags on this one; since I don't enjoy their current film/tv discussions except when they're super passionate about something (Star Trek), I don't watch that, but they make plenty of other stuff that I love and watch. And I managed to make that decision all by myself, even before they said I should. How about that.

I always imagined lightsabers using static photons, kept in place by a shield, interuptable by force, like a thrust. That would make them light but high in velocity. In a world with blasters, it would be a powerfull defense weapon for a force user able to predict the exact position of shots before they hit, but for normal people it would be nothing more than a powerfull and expensive welding tool. Everyone could wield a lightsaber but everyone without the force could just be shot at range.

It's unfortunate u didn't know but the reason anakin exists is because sidious and his master were trying to use the force to make life and so the force took it upon itself to create anakin to stop them and bring balance to the force. The fact this random woman did it and also made twins only 100 years earlier totally undermines why anakin was created

The camera at times made me feel like I was playing armored core 6 again, though its weirder in ER since the lock-on wont break and my neck gets snapped as it spins about lol. I will say some weapons dont feel as viable as others though. Tank and spank as always works though, just doesn't feel as good when the game really feels like it wants to be sekiro, not souls.

So i haven't had a chance to see the Acolyte majority of this video yet, but i do have something for theo on the Ekden ring portion, specifically about Rellana and her Twin moon attack. He's wrong to say that the move is poorly design because getting hit by one moon locks you into getting hot by the rest of the Attack. It isn't poor design for an attack to lock down a player like that, the problem with the move is the fact that it's unreadable. Contrast it to Rennala's Full moon attack. The Carian Queen floats up and furls into a projectile absorbing ball before flip out of it as it flies towards you. You can tell from the first time she uses it what it does and how to avoid it, and have plenty of time to avoid it. Anf then you have Rellana, who summons two of the same projectiles, but doesn't fling them at you, and doesn't need to hit you with it to deal massive damage to you. As long as you aren't in the air or in i frames it catches. Of course, after seeing the move once, it is something much easier to avoid than some other Elden ring ultimate attacks, no names here, but there's nothing about the moves appearance, the level before the fight, or the other attacks the boss uses that informs you how to deal with it

@Theottree

Күн бұрын

So my main problem is that it's unreadable; I just don't think it's necessarily a very good idea to be putting self-combo attacks in a game with such issues with readability. Especially especially when it does so much damage. Player is left guessing as to their first response, and if they guess wrong, it's likely that they die on the spot. I don't think that's great. But yes, I do completely agree that the readability is the much greater issue

@Grishnag85

Күн бұрын

I don't mind the fact that the move fakes you out with the moons bieng thrown on the ground to create an explosion i like that it fakes you out since you have seen that move before with Rennala so you assume it's going to get thrown at you. I don't like however that you basically die the first time you see the move because you don't have the information what it does nor do you know how to deal with it, if it was just a two hit combo that you could survive then fine but it isn't. I also really don't like how you need 72 int to use this spell on your own and it is one if the worst spells in the game

Why do you even live, when people in Africa are dying?

Prior to the sequel crap, I always thought it used to be the case that force sensitives had to learn how to use the force. There was no Rey or Broom boy. If the Jedi didn't train you and a Sith didn't get hold of you, you would never have even known you were force sensitive. At best, it might materialise in being good at something, esp. if you're very force sensitive, but you wouldn't be walking about moving things with your mind. The Jedi wouldn't be so adamant that you join, unless there were exceptional circumstances but even Anakin and Luke weren't forced to do so. At most, they'd just want to record that you are force sensitive and then maybe check in from time to time (likely undercover) just to make sure a Sith hadn't found you.

I like Elden Ring for its world and aesthetic, but Armored Core VI is a vastly better game.

The opposite you’re looking for Mauler. Toxic positivity is what we call it when talking about our football teams on KZread. Don’t criticise anything ever because then you’re not a ‘real fan’ Same stuff different genre 😂

Now I want to see Amazon or Paramount get a hold of the Elden Ring franchise, make a live action version where we get John Elden taking his helmet off every five seconds and somehow the studio still manages to mangle the lore and canon of a game with a paper thin plot and a blank slate character.

Damn Theo's video is about to get nuked with his elden ring takes. He should really consider getting better at the game sometime. In all seriousness multiple bosses worse than the bed of choas and the DLC supposedly making him never want to support fromsoftware again is wild af lmao.

A lightsaber is just a tool, but it's an extremely dangerous tool. One that Jedi's are trained to handle. Any person can pick up a light saber and use it. Only light saber trained force-sensitives can block bolts or do crazy flourishes. Even power tools now are dangerous to people who don't have the skill or knowledge to use them properly.

Torbin, the second jedi to die, he took his own life by willingly drinking poison ... Why? I think that poison was used by the Jedi to kill the witches & it was his guilt that drove him to drink the glass vial of poison. Anyone have a guess how they used it to only kill the grown-ups & it not effect the twins?

You know that your head-canon is better than whatever they've written, right?

Watched Empire Strikes Back yet again last night (this time the Adywan Revisited version) and to see people talking about the Acolyte as tho its existence in the same world as ESB isn't an afront to SW is equal parts hilarious and depressing

I'd honestly feel better if RLM admitted to being Trekkies, preferring Star Trek over Star Wars. That way, it makes more sense why their Star Wars reviews aren't as good because they aren't as invested in the series as much as they are with Star Trek. As it is, I think their takes on Star Wars and their reviews are some of the worst critiques I've seen about Star Wars, filled to the brim with strawmen, poorly researched criticisms, false allegations and a whole lot of fan whinging that doesn't amount to anything than an entitled fan not getting what they want. Personally, I'm indifferent about Red Letter Media. I don't think they're bad as Anomaly Inc makes them out to be, yet I don't think they're as good as Mauler, Drinker or Nerdrotic make them out to be. Sometimes they make good observations about the culture, like the whole "Don't ask questions. Just consume product and be excited for next product" and the "LOYALTY TO DISNEY. LOYALTY TO THE BRAND" comments. Yet when I watch their Star Wars critiques, I'm often asking myself "Guys, did you even watch the same movie as me? You missed this, this and this points." As it is, I think they're extremely overrated and I think the latest slate of KZread critics who were fans or inspired by RLM (like the before mentioned Mauler, Drinker or Nerdrotic) have managed to be more entertaining and informative than these guys in much the same way how Anomaly Inc has surpassed his inspiration, Chris Stuckman. In short, RLM sucks at critiquing Star Wars. Stop pretending you guys know Star Wars better than the people you look down on like the prequel fans or even George Lucas himself.

Uhh what is not mentioned is that the Jedi want to check in on force users is not just the danger of the dark side, but how seductive it is. Anger and fear are base emotions that we all fear. It almost ensnares Luke. The dark side, and specifically the Sith, feed on these emotions and it makes the dark side user incredibly powerful. The Jedi represent the balance of the force, rebuking those feelings and controlling them. The Jedi are the good guys.

Ghost of tsushima

RLM really needs to stop releasing their reviews when the series isn't even finished

If they wanted Ligtsabers to be a force user only thing, they should have designed them to require the force to turn it on. But there's a physical button you press/switch.

I think the problem with Elden Ring and the reason there's so many cheap moves from the bosses is that the playerbase have gotten so good at dodging and using I-frames that they have to employ these methods to trip players up, they've cornered themselves with the terrible system that is I-frames

@aabaaa9993

@@Soapy-chan In the context of Elden Ring and other Soulsborne games, a few reasons: No other defensive method compares with temporary invincibility, because of that the series has become entirely about memorizing enemy movesets and pressing a single button at the right time. It removes any complexity and greatly limits how dynamic a battle can be to a single strategy. Since rolling is the only obvious viable stratagy the game leads players to and is now what the series is known for, Fromsoft have good reason not to make shields and magical defences viable in-game, making them equal in effectiveness to rolling while keeping the same kind of challange wouldn't be easy for them to do, so they don't. Meaning each boss needs to be designed to hit the player when their I-frames have expired and one of the ways to do this is to make the player press it early with fakeout attacks that have similer animations to their real attacks, to catch players off guard by making single attacks similar to their combo attacks. Holding their weapon in the air before swinging for annoyingly long times making so many players panic roll, which is made even worse when sometimes the weapon swings at a level of acceleration that's not displayed by the boss in other attacks, how quickly they can go from one attack to another as if inertia means nothing. In other games [Battlefield for example] you're not making calculations in your head when using a grenade launcher to estimate where it'll go, you're using your gut feeling and experience to predict the curve it'll take to impact your target. Fromsoft know that if you see a boss jump at X speed in Y direction and you see the beginning of the curve, you'll be able to predict where its attack will land and roughly when, even if you can't see the boss in the air, so they employ dirty tricks like making the boss pause mid-air and/or come down at you at a faster speed than they should with acceleration that shouldn't be possible, or even stupidly able to home in on you like a missile. There's also no reason for them to fix the camera because it adds further difficulty to the fights. I could go on, but this is long enough. Fromsoft have all these cheap and annoying tricks and more in almost all their bosses making fights frustratingly annoying and hard to enjoy. Its also pretty weird to see the double standard on EFAP and within the community.. EFAP and fans when they see campfire in space: Lol! So stupid, fire doesn't work like that! Terrible job. EFAP and fans when Elden Ring bosses' weapon goes right through their bodies but doesn't harm them because I-frames: Awesome game

@@aabaaa9993you just had to ruin your point by being a r tard at the end.

I get most of Theo's complaints, and I do agree with a lot of them, especially the annoyance of having to get the Skibidybop blessings on new playthroughs. I can already feel it sapping my motivation to try on another save file. Which is a shame because I have quite a few 😂 Apart from those however, it does feel like most of his complaints just relate to Elden Ring as a whole. It seems a little unfair to have such strong opinions against the DLC specifically if most of his complaints relate to the main game too. The delayed attack timings, the large scale cinematic boss fights, the exploratory nature of the game, that's just what Elden Ring is. I would never claim it's perfect by any means, but you can't expect the DLC to be a completely different game.

cant handle bullets because you'd have to be faster than the speed of sound.......meanwhile laser guns are a thing, and yes, they're slow in SW. thats as much for our enjoyment and their convenience as anything. and even with slow lasers in the SW universe, bullets would still be slower. insane comment xD

2:41:03 this is the reason why I unsubscribed to these clowns years ago. When it came to projects that they didn't care about. They don't bother to address the issues. They are doing the same thing now! They're still pissed off that Star Wars has been butt fucking Star Trek from years now! Like we all agree on auticity is extremely important for KZread or anyone in media. You have to be consistent across the board or it's no point in opening your mouth on any subjec. The whole point is to look at everything with the same level of objectivity that you do anything else. Right now they're just grifters using the algorithm to get views, because they obviously don't care or have knowledge of the subject. Wookiepedia literally changed the lore in real time on Theory's stream! They point that out like it means nothing. Plus George had no problem with the fans adding to the lore. Only time something wasn't Lore was when George decided to change it. That came from his own mouth..

What a bunch of wally’s (the video men not efap chads lol)

54:30 Gary hits on something here that I've recently been thinking about. With the wide range of content available at an instant on numerous platforms, we've effectively invoked longterm infantilization of future generations. It used to be that, sure, there were some kid shows, but they were primarily play on Saturday mornings from 7-noon. Everything else was made for adults, but with general viewing in mind so that it wasn't explicitly for adults. Kids had some cartoons to watch, but they and the family at large general watched things like Seinfeld or MASH or what have you - made for adults but accessible for all. Today, kids have full access to baby shit that coddles them or is just a spastic active retardation, like much of what's on youtube and tik tok. It drives me nuts when someone excuses something as being poorly written "because it's for kids" in general because that's not an excuse when there's some really excellent kids stuff and we should be encouraging them to think rather than zone, but it's ever moreso important to provide QUALITY kids programming when that's what they'll be watching at any given hour of any given day if they're not going to grow up on something that's both adult-oriented and thoughtful, like classic Star Trek.

That's a fair point; I remember growing up and watching MASH, The Red Green Show, and old comedies like Mrs Bucket with my grandparents. But even edutainment didn't feel overtly belittling the viewer, with programs like Bill Nye and Zaboomafoo. They felt more directed towards a younger audience but you got just as much lessons as Animal Planet, if not more.
