Exactly. The fact that these accusations are so easy to actually look up and verify for yourself makes this campaign look immensely disingenuous.

You’re still conveniently ignoring the fact that Liu posted a total of 4 times, all in one post thread, on that subreddit, early in its inception when people who visit the sub very likely didn’t know its reputation(if it even had one less than one year into its creation). Answerting questions about the show he was on.
You’re dismissing the facts the account brought up on the basis that it’s a year-old account? Really? No matter the source, it’s things that can be completely traced back and clarified. The account is telling it like it is.
The thing is, if that was the case, he could easily just make a public statement clarifying that he isn’t associated with this MRA group anymore
This has already been thoroughly “debunked”, if you could even call it that:
Was it a pointless death? Being killed by his own son? It definitely wasn’t pointless for Kylo Ren, and I don’t think it was pointless for Han, either. I think he knew it was a possibility that Kylo would kill him, but he had to go out there anyway. Was it a little to tidily parallel to Vader/Obi-Wan? Of course. But I…
Yeah, didn’t Ford want Han to die in Return of the Jedi? If Carrie Fisher hadn’t died, I don’t think there’s any chance he would’ve appeared in Rise of Skywalker. But it was a nice thing for him to do. But yeah, I assumed he basically told them, either I’m coming back to kill Han, or I’m not coming back. All the…
but the killing of Han Solo is obvious; Harrison Ford wanted him dead. It was either kill Han Solo or no Han Solo
I don’t think his death was pointless at all. It:
-gave a personal dimension to Rey’s conflict with Kylo
-created emotional turmoil that helped fuel Kylo’s dramatic engine for the next two movies
-put the dramatic weight on the new characters so they couldn’t rely on the old favorites to handle everything
-showed how far…
From the moment the second trailer for TFA came out, and it was clear they had committed to a new cast, I knew Han Solo was going to die. It’s an extremely obvious narrative beat. In fact, I thought it was fairly obvious that all three main characters would die, one in each movie. With Luke appearing at the end of…
What bothers me more than the family connection is just how repetitive the new trilogy feels. TFA is basically a soft remake of the original movie, and then the last one borrows the family connection as leverage for trying to win the hero over to the dark side and a theoretically less powerful villain turning on the…
The story was much better when there wasn’t a reason why and Rey wasn’t special, just a vessel for the Force to balance itself out (I’d also argue that even though it’s maybe the most famous twist of all time, the reveal that Darth is Luke’s father was a net negative for both Star Wars, as it completely sold out the…
Yes it is.
“yeah but it’s spelled B-O-R-E-D” is timeless
I got a kick out of rewatching that just now for the closing line - “Collective Soul is up next!” Ah, my favorite mid-90s background rock.
“it can’t be that millions of people are just stupid.”
Oof. Underrated burn.
Because a comprehensive listing of Kanye’s bullshit every time he does something new would bloat every article to an unreadable length, and because it was covered thoroughly when his support was active and vocal, to the point where it was all any Kanye article would talk about for around three years.
The former was a bad implication that someone involved with the movie should have seen coming, but I don’t think it really had “Islamophobic shit”. It didn’t even mention Islam at all, if I recall correctly?
talk to your very good union (and the PGA and SAG) about that, as well as movie theater chains, and ensure that contracts stipulate theatrical releases.
