Its a terrific tune in my point of view, yet totally except Celebrity Wars. If they wish to transform the ambiance of what Celebrity Wars is, progressing which the strategy after that I comprehend (yet I do not concur they need to), yet if they wish to maintain it Star Battles they should not be doing it imo.

It captured me offguard, not a negative tune yet I really feel as if it ran out location. It drew me out of the Celebrity Wars ambiance.

It really felt actually misplaced tbh. Like it simply did not really feel like it belonged in Celebrity Wars.

It really felt out of location for Celebrity Wars, not that the tune drew or anything. It in fact advised me, and also the tone of the tune advised me of when Rihanna did the finishing debt tune for the last Celebrity Trip flick.

Yeah that’s a difficult no from me. Track puts. Simply do not place it in the credit reports for a sw show/film

The exact same dispute developed on Reddit, where some people agreed that “it does not really feel extremely Star Battles” to have modern-day songs over timeless motifs.
” It’s extremely weird and rough,”one person wrote “The closest we have actually seen is in-universe popular song dipping into a coastline in Andor. Nothing else collection has actually had anything besides its motif song or wider Celebrity Wars motifs playing in the credit reports. Celebrity Wars has actually constantly been a seperate fanciful esque sci-fi cosmos and its songs has actually constantly shown that. It’s an extremely odd selection to consist of that tune at the end.”
Others applauded the choice to experiment and brake with Celebrity Wars convention, stating it “seemed like a favorable change ahead for the franchise business.”
I believe in this unique circumstances, it actually functioned. Esp bc the tune is significantly of the exact same environment as the program.

I would not desire it to come to be a routine point, yet hereafter mic decline of an episode, it actually functioned. pic.twitter.com/6gpKdYSH81— Zachary Smith (@zacpatsmith) July 10, 2024
I such as the tune, I do not see a concern with them playing it in the long run credit reports, I believe that’s extremely regular. If they played it throughout the episode it would not function, yet the episode mored than and it’s simply the credit reports so it’s not a trouble for me

Typically I would not desire modern-day songs but also for some factor it seemed like a favorable change ahead for the franchise business. Not in the feeling that I believe they need to begin including all of it the moment yet simply in the feeling that I believe it’s great to permit designers to attempt brand-new points.

I liked it. Much better than peaceful and a lot more impactful than a rating. Obtained me to listen.
I do not believe it needs to want every episode, yet IMO it fits and this was one where it fit.

Tbh imitating modern-day songs does not have a location in Celebrity Wars does not agree with me. It’s a galaxy full of billions upon trillions of individuals and you’re informing me none could make a bop like that?

” The tune was dope. Extremely suitable of what’s taking place below,”one person argued “Do not like it, close the program right as quickly as the credit reports roll. This was the very first time I allow the debt songs play, it was rather hauntingly attractive imo. And it ‘does not fit Celebrity Wars’ yet it fits the tale completely.”
This isn’t the very first time The Acolyte has actually split followers. Some were dissatisfied with the program’s opening scene, despite the fact that showrunner Leslye Cliff urged: “you need to go hard.” Individuals likewise formerly discussed the look of a Celebrity Wars innovator trilogy personality and examined whether it harmonized the program’s timeline.
With just one episode of The Acolyte continuing to be, there is a great deal of ground still to cover and secrets to be resolved (yet there might be much more to discover in a possible Period 2). IGN’s evaluation of Episode 7 kept in mind that it supplied “a great deal of details,” yet some discoveries are balanced out by “extremely irritating and typically ridiculous specifics.”
