Tomorrow, Disney Cancellation retainerLatest Disney+ Star Wars It seems that this series will immediately disappoint fans of the legendary science-fiction saga. I can't say much about the show because, Virginia offered to review itI didn't see it. But even an outside observer could see that the writing was already on the wall retainer began airing, featuring the people behind the show — specifically showrunner Leslye Headland and star Amandla Stenberg. Doing everything possible to annoy people. when what happened retainer's The only season ended, and Headland repeatedly admitted that She wasn't sure what exactly happened on the showI was confident I had made the right decision to stay away. (A number of funny YouTube videos from some of my favorite people also helped.) But it seems the show has its fans, as I think everything does, except maybe this show is someone else's. LimitAnd they are expressing their anger on social media. IGN has a collection X The posts are mostly generic – just disappointed viewers expressing their regret over losing their favourite show. Here are a few:

And that's perfectly fine. We like what we like, and whoever looks at it with pleasure likes us. ernest scared idiot And National Lampoon's Senior TripI'm not here to judge. But a big part of the frustration is that take the form of resentment And while shifting the blame onto those who didn’t like it, attacking the usual suspects — toxic fans, incels, racists, sexists, Morlocks — he launches into a tirade of keyboard taps at everyone who disliked his now-canceled event:

It's crazy, but not as bad as some of the other comments that have gone as far as wishing death on and even threatening to kill people who didn't like or watch it. retainerTDS Master has a collection of:

Notice how when a Lucasfilm employee claims death threats, they never show proof of it, but when it comes from the other side, there are always examples of it? In fact, Master of the TDS has a great example of this phenomenon:

In any case, death threats can be written off as the impotent chatter of fake people on the Internet. Attempts at real arguments, such as they are, can be refuted by observation and common sense. For example, what's wrong with a group of fans saying they don't like a show or aren't watching it if that show is extremely popular? No studio in its right mind would cancel a series under such circumstances. That's the flaw with the “review-bombing” accusation: the ratings don't support it. that Park Place has an article explaining in detail how not only retainer The number of viewers is steadily decreasing every week, but in terms of ratings also it is performing much worse than other low rated shows. Star Wars Series such as Internal Management and And Ashokaand its performance was poor because most Star Wars Fans either didn't like it or weren't interested, and the audience it was supposed to attract didn't come through. Take this guy, for example:

Absolutely; you were probably going to see it one day, maybe. It's not like you actually saw it, and too many people with this kind of attitude get shows cancelled. (Assuming this person was going to see it.) And notice the language: the poster admits they're not one Star Wars Fans. If you have a show in a franchise that is designed to appeal to people outside of the fan base, you're starting with two strikes against yourself. Hoping that your intended audience will replace your actual audience doesn't work, as many franchises are finding right now, Star Wars And Marvel is a prime example of this.

This leads to the next point that Disney and Lucasfilm are feeding “toxic” people. Star Wars Fans, by which he means people who think “No… I am your father” is more symbolic than “the power of the many.” It’s ridiculous; Disney is doing everything possible to alienate real people Star Wars Fans. They've denigrated old heroes, changed legends, introduced disliked new characters, proudly admitted they're more interested in developing new fans than pleasing old ones, and hurled every insult in the book at those who like it Star Wars That their dissatisfaction outreach program failed so spectacularly is proof of the foolishness of this strategy. Their loyal customers were ignored, and when they left, no one replaced them.

The “never had a chance” nonsense is also stupid, especially to anyone who remembers the way network TV operated. There was a time, particularly in the early 2000s, when a network would drop a show after two episodes if it wasn't doing well, looking for a quick win. Many have pointed out that shows were ruined because of this mentality SeinfeldWhich slowly built its audience. retainer The whole season ran, and its ratings were very poor; there's a fair chance it did. With this example, Seinfeld It didn't even cost as much to produce as retainerWhich had a budget of $180 million. Add to that a struggling streaming service that still hasn't become solvent, and you have every incentive to quit retainer like a hot potato. After several failures and the collapse of their big hit, The MandalorianSomething had to give, and retainer First one gone; I'd be surprised if it's last.
