Geekville Radio #354: Acolyte Expectations, X-Men Week 2, Bad Batch S3E09

What can we expect from The Acolyte, plus reviews of X-Men ’97 Episode 3, and The Bad Batch episode The Harbinger

1:00 – Acolyte Expectations

The Acolyte trailer debuted with a lot of controversy. But what are people complaining about? What does “Frozen meets Kill Bill” even mean? What can we expect? And where does this fit in the official or Legends Canon?

Going by the timeline, Darth Tenebrous would be the Sith Lord, or Sith Apprentice. Yes, a Bith Sith… you know there was going to be one sooner or later…

But the creators have said a few things that don’t sound very reassuring when it comes to what the show is about.

12:05 – Bad Batch Season 3, Episode 9

The original written review can be found here.

The big news is the return of Asajj Ventress. We knew it was coming this season because of the trailers, but this was her full-fledged return. And while we don’t see how she is alive after her demise in the novel Dark Disciple, we do get to see her kick butt Batman-style again.


1:15 – X-Men ’97 Episode 3 “Fire Made Flesh”

This had a lot of stuff that wouldn’t have been seen on broadcast Saturday morning TV. It condensed a lot of the Inferno storyline into one episode. But we did get a PG-friendly version of Goblin Queen’s outfit.
