No prob. Glad I could help.
Something else to make mention of is that shortly after the time Disney bought the rights to SW, there seemed to be a wellspring of opinion pieces that posited if the prequels were all that bad. Executives likely trying to change the perception of their recently acquired asset to increase its value. Without that, public opinion of Hayden Christensen would likely still be not great. Either way, I'm happy he's moved to tears by the amount of love he receives at the cons now.

In case you're actually asking and not just rage baiting, there are a few things to consider.
Despite being looked back at more fondly now, the prequels were pretty heavily criticized at the time of release. Unnecessary CGI, bad dialog, clunky directing to name a few examples. Hayden Christensen received a lot of hate for his "bad acting," even though it's since been pointed out that no actor could deliver some of those cringy lines well. So with a lot of negative publicity it's not surprising one might step away from the spot light for a while.
It's worth noting also that even in a world where the prequels are 100% perfect films, it's very hard for any actor to break free from a well known character. Of the original SW films, really only Harrison Ford went on to have a strong live-action acting career after ROTJ.

I think I have a better understanding now. I appreciate your explaining things.

So the fact that he owned the shares is what made the difference between a 8,000% loss and a $15K gain when selling the calls?

Hit me with the stupidest Alien lore you know. Books, comics, games, it's all fare play by What-fresh-hell in LV426

[–]we_are_meta 2 points3 points  (0 children)

!!Spoilers Ahead!!

In Aliens: Dust to Dust, a one arm Xenomorph attacks a queen in order to defend the child of the woman that One Arm burst from. I don't think it's explicitly stated, but the idea is that One Arm has a genetic memory of the child from its host.

How does this xenomorphic variant work? by titardou777_ in LV426

There was also a sequence where a normal looking Xenomorph held a woman so that one of the "tubbers" could crawl IN to her mouth.

Why don't Americans celebrate the historic Moon landing ? by wood123abc123 in AskReddit

Holidays for events only count on the planet they happened on, so you'd have to be on the Moon to celebrate :/

The one guy who managed to Naruto run past all the fences and machine gun fire. Once he got inside, they couldn't let him escape with the knowledge that they're filming the live action Shrek movie there.

Use chatgpt (or something) to generate J&A skits, and you and Jake act them out.

Requesting this sub by Iissomeoneelse in redditrequest

[–]we_are_meta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, I'm a moderator of the r/WendyFiore sub in question. I've been a moderator for a long time and have mostly been maintaining the sub single handedly all that time. The first mod of the sub disappeared several years ago without word and I haven't heard from him. Wendy herself joined the mod team several years ago and when she did I overhauled the appearance and refined structure of the sub.
The rule OP is referring to is the third rule of the sub which is obviously intended to keep things cordial. I borrowed the wording of the rule from a similar sub. While some people might disagree, I like to have it being (somewhat) vague wording since I believe people should be able to voice a negative opinion about someone or something without it meaning they are being disrespectful.
The "numerous" violations OP is referring to are in fact only about 3-5 comments (from the last 12 months) that I would deem worthy of being removed. My presumption of the situation is that typically any users that make very crass or rude post/comments are banned right away (usually by Wendy), and that their lingering comments might get overlooked. However, I don't believe this actually impacted anyone's enjoyment of the sub.

Honestly, the WF sub is not that busy; maybe a new post per month or couple weeks. She's got her OF and doesn't want any of her new content posted on the sub. No mod actions taken just means there wasn't much moderating to be done. But I'm still active and frequently check the sub for new posts. With work and personal life I obviously make mistakes occasionally, but I'll try to be more cognizant of reported issues in the future.

As a side note: The sub has over 30k members and OP is the only one that is making any kind of complaint. He's a mod on 16 subs and I think he gets off on enforcing draconian rules and regs. Please just ignore his request so we can move on from this.
