I was never into super hero movies, except Batman, so I can't comment on the Marvel stuff. Also, I haven't watched The Acolyte yet. Not because of any protest, I just prefer to have the whole series waiting for me because I despise cliffhangers (Make an interesting show and I'll tune in. If it's good, I don't need you to tease me to get me to watch again, but that's a discussion for another day) So, I'll give it a go once the full season is there.
Sol is the best part for me. He's great, sincere like the typical Jedi heroes we love. The rest of the acting is ok, but the writing and overall logic so far has been less than stellar. Effects have been good, like a lot of the practical stuff so kudos to that decision. I still very much want to know who the villain is, but Ill be disappointed if its one of their mothers or that friend of hers. That would be a weak reveal to me. I want it to tie back more to the other Sith lords.
Oooooh COULD BE. Didnt think of that. The errands he/she keeps running Mae to do seem half assed and dumb, so that might make more sense.
Well thats the thing, they are leaving it open a bit. Made it seem like hes getting put into a box made by the Jedi. The Jedi as the real villain stuff doesnt sit with me. Yes they are "human" and make mistakes and have lost their mission a bit but I wont like it if they are painted as the galaxy's ultimate villain. And maybe it wont be that way and Im just spouting nonsense., I just hope is all. Will be interesting to see how it all plays out. I definitely dont hate the show. Lots I like about it actually as its progressed. Just needs a bit of tidying up. Is this a one and done? I guess I dont know if this is part of a larger world or if they will keep this particular story rolling.
I've seen/heard this show pitched as a 'dark side point of view' and while I'm not sure if that's an official, Disney-approved pitch, it does resonate with some of

Before fighting Obi-Wan in Revenge of the Sith Anakin says "From my point of view, the Jedi are evil." We the viewers can see that's not the case, but we also understand why Anakin has arrived at that conclusion at that point in time. The Acolyte hasn't given us 2.75 feature films on the villain's backstory, but their dialogue revealed some of their motives. I suspect as we learn more about Sol/whatever happened on Brendok we will understand more.
Regarding "leaving it open a bit"I saw it noted online and went back to check: when Qimir is tending to the unconscious Osha at the end of the episode, Kylo Ren's musical motif plays. There's a whole rabbit hole you can follow about the characters and philosophy of Ren in comic books, which might be where we're headed. I am, however, often wrong
