You’re quoting iPlayer figures, which are UK only and ignores that it also had millions of people watch it broadcast live in BBC. It was BBCs biggest streaming hit, doing almost twice the numbers of its second biggest hit. It’s the biggest streaming show ever in Ireland also been on Hulu, etc.

Chadwick Boseman was a man of dignity and charisma, like Sidney Poitier and Denzel Washington. Those are gifts you’re born with, natural qualities, not things you can teach. There’s a reason he was cast to play Jackie Robinson, Thurgood Marshall, James Brown, T’Challa.

Saying “Chadwick Boseman isn’t a good actor” is like saying “Harrison Ford isn’t a good actor.” No doubt a person could make a sound argument to support that assertion, but while they were making their argument I’d be busy wishing that Chadwick Boseman or Harrison Ford were making it, because it’s entertaining to…

I remember seeing Civil War in the theater, and the very first time he turns to face the camera the audience reacted. Boseman had an uncommon on screen presence.

People involved said that they didn’t *want* to do that. I can understand Coogler and the other people who worked with him for a long time not wanting to. And honestly, from a chemistry standpoint, it could have an impact if the cast wasn’t happy with that choice.

I can understand why actual human beings who knew the guy didn’t want to recast him. The PR issues that may have existed aside, the casting director even said that they had a hard time imagining going through that process again so soon after they lost someone that most didn’t even know were sick. I don’t think Coogler…

Have you actually seen his other movies like Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom? Marshall? Get on Up? Sounds like you’re just judging him based off of MCU movies than everything else he did where he was phenomenal.

I just disagree. Boseman was a screen icon possessed of unusual charisma and grace, and this was widely recognized before his passing. There’s a reason Boseman is the first unsnapped face we see walking through the portal in Endgame. People aren’t just grading him up as a performer because he died young. With respect…

Jesus fucking christ. “Queerbaiting” refers to the homophobic act of putting in queer subtext to lure in queer viewers (or give hetero women fetishistic gay ships to obsess over) while considering the suggested relationship to NOT be canon, and definitely never actually reifying it, and it’s almost exclusively done…

oh I’m fine if he wants to paint his nails etc even if he’s straight, I think it’s just a double standard that when queer people do it they often face discrimination for it. It’s a complicated topic, that I don’t think there’s necessarily a right or wrong way to feel about it. but dudes on tiktok presenting as queer…

He has the courage to paint his nails and sometimes wear the ugliest clothes you’ve ever seen, and that’s supposed to somehow translate into challenging our conceptions of gender and sexuality... okay, Harry.

sort of the same sentiment that it’s total queer baiting at this point, or not so different than the straight tik tok boys painting their nails for virtue points and for their own gain. My queer spidey sense feels like something is off and so do a lot of my queer friends (anecdotal I know). And no he doesn’t have to…

I think he’s totally straight and he’s just putting the whole thing on for cool points, like Bowie

idk ya’ll, Styles feels truly style no substance. The way he talks about sexuality and gender is always so snoozy, and I never know if he’s speaking to his actual values or just what’s going to sell the most.

I think Heard herself said it best: “He’s a beloved character and people feel they know him. He’s a fantastic actor.”

He’s at the acting stage now where the persona he’s created is just an extension of his own personality—or at least, the only personality he reveals to the world—some charming hybrid version of himself…

The only time I have ever heard someone use the term “crocodile tears” is when shitty parents don’t want to acknowledge their children are actual hurt.

Yeah a man found a woman crying uncomfortable!! The shock!!

oh my god THIS ALL DAY. Came down here to say this very thing. This is exactly the problem with a case like this being tried to a jury. This juror (and, I’m sure, the others) viewed their role as determining whether Heard “proved” that she was abused. But that’s not what was at issue! DEPP had to prove that the WaPo…

Also, she didn’t have to prove anything.  HE had to prove that she was lying.  The fact a juror in the case didn’t understand this is maddening.

“What I think is truthful is that they were both abusive to each other,” he says. “I don’t think that makes either of them right or wrong… but to rise to the level of what she was claiming, there wasn’t enough or any evidence that really supported what she was saying.”
