This is really some piss poor trolling. It’s not even half hearted.

At least I don’t blindly believe nonsense so long as it comes from someone who checks the same demographic boxes as myself.

I think the irony of of this is that he’s probably damaged his own reputation in Hollywood so badly with this fiasco, not even Snyder will work with him at this point because he has his Justice League with WB and Army of the Dead with Netflix and associating with Fisher will put those projects in jeopardy.

I was mostly on board for the first half, but by the time they got to the high school, I just wanted it to end, and it kept going and going.

I just need to say that she also looks a LOT like Glenn Danzig, which ain’t gonna make the rest of her life any more enjoyable.

I know that this is just one parenthetical in the entire review, but the claim of whitewashing really bugged me too. The Great Wall just doesn’t meet the definition. They’re not changing a character who used to be Chinese into whatever ethnicity Matt Damon was supposed to be. (Seriously, his accent was all over the…

Yeah, I’m fairly tired of the twitter left crowd claiming that TLJ is still second only to Empire Strikes Back, and also that Ghostbusters 2016 was good. Admitting both were letdowns does not mean you’re suddenly evil. Ghostbusters was bad, and those actresses are great in other things. There. TLJ wasn’t the worst…

Of course the top two posts here are just defending The Last Jedi rather than talking about the actual important racial stuff...

Please retreat to your all-racist virgin safe spaces, dork.

“liars who can’t handle reality so you call names and use elementary school framing to push your narrative”

The link to her “less-than-great recent comments” leads to some of the most boring argumentation I’ve ever seen.

It’s bizarre to see TLJ fans dismiss Boyega’s personal lived experiences because acknowledging them would lead to a valid criticism of a movie they like. Woof, talk about a toxic fanbase.

The whataboutisms from some of the responses here have been...interesting. He’s giving his honest opinion on his experience (and he kind of always has), but in the rush to defend TLJ, there’s a lot of comments that border dangerously close to telling the black actor how he should feel.

JJ Abrams set up Finn with limitless potential. John Boyega had amazing on-screen chemistry with Daisy Ridley and Oscar Isaac. He’s an ex-stormtrooper trying to be a good guy in a crazy world. It’s nothing special, but it’s a fairly simple, standard character arc though left as a cliffhanger.

I know TLJ became this crazy flashpoint besieged by desperately defensive love and deranged hate, but I think it’s pretty fair for Boyega to not dig his arc in that movie, and it’s not hard to guess why, given how often these complaints have come up for three years. If anyone is entitled to not dig it it’s him.

The response to this on Twitter was quite telling. Black Americans went on their usual rant about appropriation while black citizens from The Islands were telling them to stand down and don’t tell us what to be offended by. There are arguments to be heard but too many Black Americans feel the need to police blackness.…

what always gets me is that that narrative fully leaves out trans kids and transmen. it necessarily has to because if you’ve identified as female since early adolescence or, as is increasingly the case, middle and even early childhood, what male benefit did you reap?

Part of it is propagating the ridiculous notion that cis and trans women are competing for the same finite resources and winning rights for one group will somehow harm the other. Part of it is stoking pure transphobic bigotry over “men” pretending to be women so they can invade bathrooms and changing rooms and molest…

If that happens, and I’m not saying it won’t, then those people are as dumb as Trump voters and get exactly what they deserve.

Thank you so much for this comment - you’d think an article discussing a movie based on a real person’s life (and what a person!) would mention that, well, she was a real person and even give a link to learn more, but then you’d be wrong.
