even cool creators you like can have bad takes
no one is rethinking the acolyte, or to be more precise no proportion of the population worth consideration
what he means is "in the process of making this video I noticed some similarities between the prequels and the acolyte and wanted to list them so I've personally reconsidered the acolyte a little"
which is odd because earlier he just got done saying how new star wars being bad doesn't make the prequels good, so why compare the now-good rethought acolyte to the prequels?
he does not successfully argue here that:
nor does he manage to successfully argue that "well you guys say you like the prequels now and acolyte is like the prequels so you have to like it also"
fundamentally the RLM guys are misanthropes who tend to look down on the teeming masses of fans and won't take the time to look closer to see if any of them might have any valid points, which is fine, because they have a life and can't be arsed to watch 50 hours of commentary community going in circles on how bad things are now
but this means mike doesn't get that the "bros" don't just want cool lightsaber fights and explosions and omg I recognize that guy
it should be obvious that they don't just want that, because a ton of recent star wars media try to include those things and fail, Ki-Adi-Mundi in acolyte was there for that purpose and they all hated his inclusion, same for entire series like boba fett and obi wan
everyone just wants good writing and practically nothing has been well written in any media for like a decade
fundamentally the main reason that nobody is rethinking the acolyte is because the pace of modern media is such that simply no one has time to go back and watch it again
he also goes in on how nobody cares about shit like whether mr. mundi should be born yet or not, or whether fire can spread in space...but his own prequel videos were full of similar nitpicks, just often from a character motivation angle rather than a factual one
within this video he also lists a lot of nitpicky similarities between acolyte and the prequels as if anyone should care about such things
or is he making the point that a lot of individual details add up to a significant whole, more than the sum of their parts? so why wouldn't that apply to all the other kinds of nitpicks also, mundi's age doesn't matter but if it's one of 1000 things they got wrong, doesn't that add up?

he does not successfully argue here that:
- the prequels, while bad, were the product of one man's flawed vision
- the acolyte has many similarities with the prequels
- therefore the acolyte can be judged as the product of one woman's flawed vision
