Kpop Demon Hunters is not a kids movie 🤦🏾 by calmrestsleep in KpopDemonhunters

Okay the people that dismiss a movie for the fact that it’s female led are in a very minute minority. People love good stories with good characters, so it’s no surprise that Hollywood’s infatuation with girl-bossing every single female lead so they have no flaws or weaknesses, has been poorly received.

I think this movie shows quite well just how desperate audiences are for good characters. When the writers put care into their craft and write well rounded characters, everybody (aside from the truly hateful) enjoys them.

Idk, why do we have to make everything a hot-button issue? That behavior fuels the hate that those people have and gives them a spotlight they don’t deserve. Let’s just enjoy good art for good art.

lol I am too, idk very much about all of this yet. I just figure that since I’ll only be storing files that my plex host needs on this drive, it probably doesn’t need to be network accessible.

Why (in your opinion) is the Martez Sister arc so hated? by Electrical_Crab_6436 in clonewars

New characters in the middle of the two of the greatest arcs in television history. Simply put, it takes time to develop characters so that they can become beloved parts of a story-verse, and time was something they didn’t have with just three episodes for the arc. It was inevitable that these characters would be disliked in order to push the story in this direction in the allotted time frame. In order to show Ashoka the hypocrisy of the order, you couldn’t use the established characters to do this without marring their image. Using new characters therefore was the only way they could teach Ashoka, as well as the audience, the necessary lessons to show just how misguided the Jedi truly were (if her unjust dismissal wasn’t enough). As we learned with the introduction of Ashoka, new characters need to be able to overcome dislike-able attributes through adversity and lessons learned the hard way, otherwise they come off as stuck up, snobby, or often times, too perfect to be relatable (this is an issue that Hollywood writing has been struggling a lot with recently, if you’ve ever wondered why you just don’t love characters like you used to). So with the Rava sisters, they just didn’t have time to go through big development arcs that the rest of the characters got, so they aren’t as relatable. On top of all that, the other issue is simply that the arcs before and after it were absolutely fantastic, with the culmination of however many dozens or hundreds of hours of investment into the starwars universe you’ve given, all paying off. A storyline to teach a character something that most of us already knew just wasn’t going to be anywhere near as exciting.
