a celebrity can do whatever harm they want to do to themselves in my opinion but it’s when they’re doing it to others where I draw the line

Uh, she’s the star of an upcoming Marvel movie that’ll do over a billion dollars. That makes its own space. Pop culture sites aren’t in a place to ignore her. The best they can do is point out problematic stupidity.

Good thing no one said or implied that in this article, odd that you decided to bring up “man child gatekeepeers”, another group of people you seem to have made up.

“

When asked if she had heard of Dunning-Kruger, she said, “I have, and I loved her in Inglourious Basterds.”

So she didn't learn anything and is still happily antivax with no repercussions whatsoever.... Great...

It’s all over facebook comment sections too, the only reasons l can think off is

Haha, just replying to say I’ve been wondering the same things! It is really bizarre to me how much the internet is caping for gross-ass Johnny Depp. His case is a lightning rod for the type of guys who like to derail conversations about women’s rights with stats on male abuse. Misogyny runs far deeper and wider in…

Lately my YouTube and Reddit recommendations are flooded with stuff slamming Amber Heard. Which poses a whole set of questions:

True, one fun popcorn movie was all this series needed. It could stand as proof that a movie based on a ride doesn’t have to suck.

It amazes me that people seem to care about this “franchise”.  The original movie surprised everyone by being a fun popcorn flick.  But every single movie after has gotten worse and worse.  

I can see rebooting the franchise. Jack Sparrow had a very limited shelf life and by the end of the second film, I was already getting tired of him.

It’s the Fonzie issue. Jack is a supporting character for the straight man (and woman) to react to, not something to build a movie around. And yet, they tried ...

Also yet to be decided is the outcome of Depp’s defamation trial against ex-wife Amber Heard. The actor claimed in his suit that Heard’s op-ed about domestic abuse (which did not name Depp, but alluded to their relationship) cost him opportunities, including with the Pirates franchise. According to Variety, he…

Try reading the comment more than once before you reply to it more than once.

This is a series that really never had a reason to exist after the first movie.

Even without considering Depp’s situation, Jack Sparrow has outlived his usefulness. Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann (I had to look up their name) may not have been as popular but they were necessary counterpoint to Sparrow’s eccentricities, and they grounded the movies. Without them, Sparrow is all flash and no…

lmfao huhhhhhhhhhh??? His reactions are blasse because he’s chewing some completely different scenery, no way is jack sparrow understated lol

Even before the whole Heard marriage/divorce fiasco, making Johnny Depp the focus of those films was a major turn-off for me. I wanted it to be about Elizabeth and Wil, maybe with Sparrow as a supporting character. The idea of a Jack Sparrow-less Pirates franchise definitely appeals to me. Putting Margot Robbie in the…

From what I’ve gleaned off headlines and social media, not even half of what’s being brought up is remotely pertinent. It looks like, all other motivations aside, this is just one really expensive and dreadfully public group therapy session.
