it's got Ana Joy whatsherface in, who I quite likeAh yes, I too do not know the names of people I like.
the wolf of wall streetOutside of the great acting and general entertainment, I think it played into a lot of male fantasies. All of the salesmen I worked with at my first job ate that shit up.
tbh i don't get why this movie was so highly acclaimed.
lol what did I say? DeMoCrAt WoMeN aRe UnDeSiRaBlEStrangely, I did see a statistic earlier that white women turned out more strongly for Republican candidates this year than in previous cycles. That is a demographic that I would have thought would move in the Democratic party's direction
Democrats have the unmarried women demographic locked in.https://twitter.com/bradwilcoxifs/status/1590409234818420737
I think we have Roe to thank.And gen Z showing up.
I think it’s fine because he needs to have an arc through the series and I hope that he gets some kind of redemption since he is meant to be a tragic figure, rather than an antagonistic one.Yes, I absolutely agree with this. We see his nature isn't as noble as Aragorn's but Isildur is also a very young adult. That's what I meant by we don't need to root for them all the time. I do think it's a fair setup for an arc where he matures into a hero after already establishing a weakness that tracts. And to be fair it's a weakness a lot of people have so it's not even a moral failing really. He's just a thoughtless kid.
My problem is simply that the show goes too far and leaves us with nothing to root for. He's too capricious, too entitled, too selfish.And I agree with you but I don't think we need to root for every character. Or at least not all the time. fwiw the writer I like wrote on Breaking Bad and we certainly don't or aren't supposed to root for Walt.
As for Boromir, well, he didn't simply refuse to destroy the Ring, he tried to forcefully seize it from Frodo, in stark contrast to other characters that were shown to be able to resist the urge to try and claim it themselves.lol this is so hypocritical. Boromir was near it for a long time and he did apologize. He literally picked it up and still gave it back. He was fighting it. And no, we never see Legolas, Gimli, or the other Hobbits struggling with it in the first movie.
He is their focus, he is their main character. That's generally not how movies and TV shows frame deliberately unlikable characters.We all know him as the ass who just couldn't destroy the ring. Sure, they can build him up and make him more complicated and maybe we do want to root for the naive kid full of hope and curiosity. But I think his selfish privilege is absolutely intentional because it shows his flaws and makes his trajectory pretty obvious.
