>Even in a female protagonist driven Femi-centric film like Last Jedi, all the best performances were still made by the supporting male casts, and had pretty much carried the film whilst most of the female main characters were mediocre at best.
Did Disney specifically choose incompetent actresses to play the protagonist?
It's just another example of the inherent superiority of males over females. Nothing to see here.
It's easy to think that, if you devalue the actresses just because they are women.
Mary Sues are boring, one dimensional, and hard to empathize with or relate to. SJWars is so Mary Sued out that its impossible to give a fuck about anything going on.
fuck off retard you already got outed in the deleted thread.
This thread is now about how Thor: Ragnarok was the best nerd franchise entry of 2017. And Cate Blanchett in latex.
sjw refuse to accept female characters with flaws, of course they're gonna be boring.
Why should we the audience even worry/care about an invincible, one-note character?
Men are more compelling primary protagonists/antagonists in action/adventure and good versus evil tales. The assertiveness required to be an effective main pro/antag in these sorts of stories are inherently masculine, so when woman are in these roles, it rightfully comes off as jarring and inauthentic.
Woman are reactors, not actors, which means they are best suited in side roles- backseat driving as woman do IRL. Things like good and evil, light and dark, balance, the metaphysical etc. is too abstract for woman and everyone knows it. Such abstractions are largely the domain of male contemplation, so again, when we see woman being a vessel for this dialogue, it hard to take it seriously.
The fact that Rey and Kylo's rivalry inevitably boils down to sexual tension is the only believable aspect of Rey's protagonism.
The reason that Kylo, Poe and Finn are the more likable main cast members is because they actually have glaring character flaws which allow them to fail sometimes.
The problem isn't necessarily that they're significantly better actors than the rest of the cast, it's just that the directors/screenwriters just seem to afraid to write any actual character conflict with female characters in case they offend the masses.
I don't think flaws are the only way to make a character interesting, but even though Kylo Ren is an unstable tryhard bitch to whoever gives him some recognition that's exactly what makes him so great.
A Mary Sue like Rey is boring in comparison, funny that her only interesting scene were with Kylo Ren when he was basically forcing her to deal with the bullshit she was feeding herself but then she's back to being do no wrong Rey.
nah
adam driver is just a better actor than the other lot
this is unquestionably true
I like his character simply because it's a character. He has "something" instead of "nothing." I watch movies now and I just want them to give me something instead of pure trash.
They at least tried 5% to come up with something meaningful with Kylo, so I give them props for that. That's how low my standards are for blockbuster movies nowadays. If I can have 5% of an emotion watching a character, I consider that a win.
tbf oscar isaacs is also a great actor, he's just hardly given anything to work with at all here
as pointles as the this character's entire subplot is, he gave the best performance by far
It's more like he happened to get the only character with any interesting internal conflict and development going for them.
Case in point, Oscar Isaac as Poe and Benecio del Toro as the hacker - both are excellent actors who tried to do the best with the roles they were given, but both of them ended up being wasted potential due to the near-nonexistent development going on with their characters.
tl;dr - it all aultimately comes down to writing. And the female characters in the movie were boring as shit becasue SJWs and mainstream media are still to chickenshit to write female protagonists with actual flaws.
Am I the only one who thought they kinda just spelt out Poe's flaws when the visual of the casualties was enough we didn't need to have them say directly that being trigger happy is wrong the visual was enough.
Daisy's acting was actually really on point in TLJ.
I pretty much feel the same way. The scene at the end with him and Rey parting and the scene where he kills Snoke actually made me feel something, which I did not expect from this trilogy. His acting and character is just on an obvious different level than anything else in the trilogy it's a bit laughable, but not that it's saying much desu
I thought her acting was significantly improved from TFA but unfortunately her character just isn't that compelling right now, the only interesting thing right now is her relationship with kylo ren, when they aren't together, her scenes aren't very interesting
Im taking my wifes son to this tommorrow, what should I expect?
>Daisy's acting was the best during her scenes with Ben
ftfy
Some bland stuttering is the best performance? Stop taking so much xan...
I thought Rey was pretty good this time around
