After four episodes of Star Wars: The Acolyte and three episodes of The boys Season 4, audience scores for each have plummeted on Rotten Tomatoes, as the shows appear to be bombarded with reviews from dissatisfied fans.
When it comes to The Acolyte, the critics score is 85% while the audience score only has a score of 14%. Some fans are even criticizing the wrong project and chasing the 2008 Australian horror film Acolyteswhich is pretty funny.
As for The boys In season four, the series has a 95% rating from critics but only a 49% rating from audiences, which is the lowest of all three seasons. For context, The boys Season 1 is at 85%/95%, Season 2 is at 97%/83%, and Season 3 is currently at 98%/75%.
So, you can see that the audience rating has gradually decreased, but this latest season is the biggest drop so far.
There are many reasons why these shows might not connect with fans who push them to tear them down on Rotten Tomatoes. Many reviews are quite mean.
I have never seen so much hatred for a Star Wars project first The Acolyte came around. Some fans are unhappy with some of the show’s creative choices, and many think it doesn’t fit with the rest of the show. Star Wars canon.
Others are unimpressed with the quality of the show and are generally unhappy with the direction Star Wars the franchise is gone.
Then there are those who are upset that the show focuses on female characters, its diverse cast, and “woke” content.
When it comes to The boys Season 4, I’ve seen a lot of people upset by its strong political message as we enter an already tense election year.
Now, The boys has never shied away from this sort of thing, but season four sets everything straight when it comes to what they really think about far-right views. This is a showrunner thing Eric Kripke freely admitted in a recent interview.
He said: “There are so few shows that can directly comment on the world we live in, and manage to do it like a cartoon. We can hold a mirror up to it like a fantasy genre show.
“But again, because we are right there. I mean, it’s all in the original comic. The comic is really political. It’s just political about the post-9/11 George Bush era.”
“The show isn’t subtle. It makes its politics clear. And it’s fun to rip the craziness to the right, and we get some shots to the left of all the performative liveliness and everything.”
“I’ll just do it, and then the audience can decide whether they want to watch it or not. I mean, it’s almost become like ‘South Park,’ you know what I mean?”
Kripke also made it clear that he has little love for those who consider Homelander a “hero.”
What do you think of all this?
