Topic	John Boyega (Star Wars Finn) 'non-white actors 'pushed to the side' by Disney.'
Zeus 09/03/20 2:54:12 PM #17:	How about instead Disney not make SW movies if they're going to sideline the characters people actually care about and create some new ones that people hate? ParanoidObsessive posted... The Chinese hate black people, and they hated Finn as a character. Most of Hollywood has spent the last 10 years pandering more and more to the Chinese market because there is SO MUCH money to be made there. The math is pretty damned easy to do. Most people hated Finn as a character. He was a lousy character. Although, to be fair, he was also played by a lousy actor. (And if they really wanted to go for diversity -- and totally piss off the Chinese market -- they could have shipped Finn with Poe, which is what it almost felt like they were building to at times.) ParanoidObsessive posted... Though ironically, the sheer superfluous nature of pretty much the entirety of the Finn/Rose storyline (there is literally no point to anything they do and they accomplish absolutely nothing of value or substance whatsoever- their entire storyline is just time-killing filler) means it could have been easily sliced out of the film, and replaced with something else. So maybe Disney should have cut their parts out of the film entirely, then replaced them with extra scenes filmed entirely for the Chinese audience with Chinese actors (like they did with some MCU stuff). If they'd done that, the film might not have tanked catastrophically hard in China (which it did), and the end result might have made for a better film in general (though Finn/Rose is far from the only problem with that movie). It would have been a much better movie without it. Archgoat posted... I feel like I am the only one that thinks that The Last Jedi is best of film of the 3. I agree that some of the story choices were questionable, but as an entertaining film and the set pieces, I enjoyed it more than the other 2. Overall the trilogy as a whole was pretty bad though. Only seen TFA and TLJ so far (the last movie wasn't on D+ for whatever reason every time I had previously checked), but TLJ was worlds better than the soulless, focus-grouped TFA. blu posted... He's waiting to now to say something. Because he was worried about how it might impact him when he still had a career there. --- (\/)(\/)\|-\| There are precious few at ease / With moral ambiguities / So we act as though they don't exist. <cite>Zeus posted [p:944166206] in John Boyeg...
