She's a good actress, seems like a great person, and I hope we see a lot more of her. And what those online trolls did to her flat out sucked. But her reaction here seems to be...er, a little over the top to me. From her response, I imagine it was that final straw, that happened to feed into the insecurities she went throughout her youth. Really, she restrained herself here. She's been much more volatile before she became famous: _deleted_, Docteur Qui and Not Mr. Big 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And online behaviour of "fans" has gotten ridiculous of late. Like so many things online. I certainly don't think she's wrong. Well I agree that the racism and misogyny she was subjected to from some loser fanboys (I’ll just take your word that it was “tens of thousands”) was unacceptable. I like KMT and I’m on her side. And I certainly don’t think she’s wrong to respond. And I don’t expect, a “fair and balanced response”. I just don’t know why a case if online bullying, awful as it is, need be an an indictment of Western society. Every culture has racism and bullying. I understand that’s her personal experience, and that’s fine. It just struck me as a bit of an overly broad indictment. But whatever. Otherwise, I agree with you. Both entitled fan behaviour, and the larger social media mob culture they’re a part of, have gotten entirely out of hand. Chen G. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chen G. 3,940 Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 Because having Andy Serkis do a motion-capture character with a couple of Gollum-like features wasn't too much? Which is to say nothing of this "battering ram" thing in The Last Jedi. If stormtroopers were starting to call out "Grond! Grond!" it wouldn't be too out of place. But I guess I shouldn't complain too much. There's a lot of The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit in Star Wars' blood from its very inception. Originally, Obi Wan and Luke meeting would have featured dialogue that was a pretty close paraphase of the "Good Morning" dialogue from The Hobbit. Another suspect piece of dialogue: "Whats in there?" - "only what you take with you" - its essentially Galadriel's mirror. None of this is bad in any way, of course: its nice that these two series share some blood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Illustrious Jerry 3,356 Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 Well @Chen G.
