I liked TLJ for the most part, but I really wish the BBC et al weren’t reporting the backlash against it as “white guys who don’t like that the film has a more diversified cast”. I’ve seen far, far more people say that that they hated the film because Finn, Poe and Rose were sidelined/used for comedy, and that’s just… not getting a mention in the media at all.
…man i’m genuinely unsure how you come away from the film with that impression
especially if you really liked force awakens
In the ‘tlj spoilers’ and ‘tlj critical’ tags there’s a lot of talk about it, the problematic aspects of all their plotlines. I’m just really surprised it hasn’t come up anywhere else
