[QUOTE="Frank Underwood, post: 421054, member: 35"] I didn't say it was of these proportions. Anybody with a smartphone and an Internet connection can be a critic these days. That said, there have always been critics who've viciously critiqued movies they didn't like. The difference is [I]anybody's[/I] voice can be amplified today. Before trash creators on YouTube and Tik Tok, there were trash talk shows, reality shows, sensationalist rags like the Enquirer, etc. What's old is new again. How am I excusing one bad for another by simply pointing that out? I just think if a particular cliche is getting called out, so should the other. On that, I agree with you completely. It doesn't make sense to make up your mind about a movie based solely on an actress's comments and what you [I]think[/I] it's going to be like. Of course, the fact that it's taken 3 years for the movie to be released has kept the controversy going. And as it turns out, the movie is more or less what people expected. She might have gotten roasted for it on the late-night comedy shows, but there wouldn't have been social media to keep the controversy going indefinitely. Some people are laughing, but it's [I]at[/I] her and not [I]with[/I] her. I enjoy many of the Rachel Zegler/Snow White parodies, which I find more clever than the typical rage bait content. [/QUOTE]
