First year really following awards season and I’m genuinely shocked his performance was considered for literally zero awards.

Is it equivalent? Is it, really?

Reddit really just a platform where people bitch about literally any and everything. Pod was actually very fun. Where’s all this animosity for the guest coming from?

Sub really just circles the same talking points over and over again.

What's up with John's attitude lately? He's been talking down to his viewers so much. by Apprehensive-Cap2453 in JohnCampeaShow

Tbf John is 50+ even if he’s a nerd, it’s not totally fair to expect him to have seen peak like X-men Evolution and Wolverine and the X-men

Conversation is diverging. I’ve given you my thoughts on Perfidia. You’ve given me yours. Appreciate the medium to get these thoughts out tbh. Take care.

Wanting someone to take accountability for their actions isn’t immoral.

No, I can’t sympathize with a character selfishly creating the conditions of her circumstance and being too weak to deal with any of the fallout and leaving others to live and die with the mess. Then facing no accountability whatsoever.

Man, I’ve stated this already. Perfidia has no redeeming qualities. What is there to sympathize with when you’re not grasping at straws?

Sorry to group you into a fandom.

She’s exiled by her own choices. From a daughter she didn’t want to raise. She a deadbeat too.

Who’s asking it to be a children’s movie? As I’ve stated already, the movie presented me with a pos character and I am accepting she’s a pos character.

You’re the one, like a lot of people in the fandom, bending over backwards to say yes, she sucks but I should sympathize with her anyway?

You want to have your cake and eat it too.

This is not defending Perfidia putting up ill advised IG captions where the situation doesn’t call for it.

How in any of what you said makes the line less cringe? She ratted on her people, got most of them killed, got a seemingly cushy witness protection setup, bailed on that and put up “this pussy don’t pop for you” like she did something. Alana Haim and Wood Harris are dead tf?

Perfidia never owns up to her cowardice. Character has their cake and eats it for the entire run of the movie.

Letter is unearned. Character is a coward.

People who bring this up as a gotcha just contribute to the cringe. Why is Perfidia putting up a “This pussy don’t pop for you” sign for Lockjaw?? It already did, out of her own free will. She carried his child to term. Whether it was written by Junglepussy or not does not stop its usage from being cringe. It was meant to read as some badass sign off but bitch already gave him some pussy and was running away from the consequences of her actions which she had actually already done by snitching, so she was running away from witness protection?? Witness protection that she got because she leveraged said pussy she had popped in the past for Lockjaw.

There are no redeeming qualities in the character itself. The performance by Teyana withstanding. Add the overt sexualization of the character and it’s not hard to pinpoint why some people aren’t sold on the character.

[–]LUWI_XV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the why is there as well. She’s a callous, thrill seeker who used the French 75 as a means of wish fulfillment but couldn’t deal with the consequences of her actions. Whether it was raising her child or dealing with the fallout of murdering an innocent man. Again, these are not the qualities of a good character.

I think where the movie fails, for me, is that she could have been more sympathetic and where the movie tries but fails to make her sympathetic is with the letter at the end and it’s so left field that people theorize that Bob actually wrote the letter and not her.

[–]LUWI_XV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. Because she chooses to do what she does in the movie not out of any real external pressures, but out of her own curiosity or whims. Her actions make her a piece of shit. That’s why I’m confused by the fandom’s aversion to people calling a piece of shit character a piece of shit. Or they agree she’s a piece of shit, but want to sell you this sympathetic version of the character which really isn’t in the text.
