We want them out of the closet. Red maga hats have been very helpful. Short of "I'm an asshole" tattooed on the forehead, the red hats makes then easier to spot. It's sad that star lord is a d-bag. But you can't win them all!

Ever since reading Snow Crash, I always wished there was something I could look at on a person's forehead that would give away that they had poor impulse control.

Bruh, the character is basically "sex pest in space with arrested development issues." He absolutely is a douche, and the actor who plays him has a long history of douchey behavior IRL.

Nope. He’s actually a well written character. Selfish at first, but understandably so due to his childhood. And with a nice redemption arc that shows he has a heart and does the right thing when it counts. Not sure why we need to attack the art, just because the actor is questionable.
aug 21, 2025, 4:27 am • 0 0 • view
Nope. *Maybe* if you're talking about the comics, he could be a passably interesting character, but in the movies, he's basically just a Bad Boy with Daddy Issues trope. As a professional writer, it's depressing that all a screen dude has to do is make an occasional good decision for y'all to fawn.

A good friend of mine is a professional writer. And I often feel he can’t really enjoy movies anymore, because he’s constantly over-analyzing the script and takes issue with every little thing. Maybe it’s the same with you. I can only encourage you to try and have more fun with movies. That’s…

Sorry, are you that saying that you think your friend and other professional writers can't enjoy/have fun with movies if and when they have standards and critiques of the craft? How do you think art forms advance? Do you get that refinement is part of the fun for people who care beyond funsies?

Why are you so eager to overlook the character's history of acting like an immature, misogynist fuckboi to focus on a "redemption arc" and defend "the art" from the reputational stain of an actor who is a known homophobe and who left his wife and disabled child? Is critique (not attack) so scary?

I mean, you don’t actually think the real dude and the character are linked in any way? People get typecast for certain roles they can play well. You simply cannot derive anything from that. Actors who always play evil characters might be the nicest guys. And vice versa. It’s acting. It’s not real.

I think you lack the honesty and knowledge to engage in this discourse without being defensive of your problematic fave, actually. He's typecast all the time to play Peter Pan syndrome scamp characters, and it *is* because he's a one trick bastard. We know from behavior he is not "the nicest guy."

You’re equating Movie Star w Actors. Stars brought the same thing every time whereas Actors were chameleons. Chris Pratt I would definitely put in the former category. Not much depth from Parks and Rec to Guardians. I enjoyed both, but gettin a sense the apple doesn’t fall far from the b-bag tree.
aug 22, 2025, 11:52 am • 2 0 • view
Sure, he’s no De Niro. But what does you think that means? The point still stands. Just because some actors are constantly type cast, doesn’t mean their character has anything to do with their real life. You wouldn’t think actors who constantly play evil characters are actually evil, right?
aug 24, 2025, 5:13 am • 0 0 • view
The point does not stand just bc you repeat it and prefer to act obtuse. No one ever said actors who are typecast are ackshually evil. We said this particular actor is a bad dude who definitely will enable, do, + cozy up to evil if and when it benefits him to do so, bc *that's what he has done IRL.*

Why are you so eager to destroy the character instead of the real guy? Even if I grant you all that (and I absolutely disagree), what does this do exactly? Criticize Pratt himself (rightfully so) for his statements. Shitting on a character he played really has no meaning whatsoever.
aug 22, 2025, 4:29 am • 0 0 • view
Frankly, I would be happy to destroy both bc mediocre "Misfits Use Guns in Space" is deeply boring as a genre, even in neon with a classic rock soundtrack. This may surprise you, but folks who care more about advancing artistry than shallow "fun" don't mind actor/character critique. Why do you?
aug 22, 2025, 11:43 am • 0 0 • view
I like artsy films and I also like „shallow fun“. One can do both, and both positions are valid. None of that has anything to do with „critiquing actor/character“. The fact that you still put those two in the same sentence is baffling to me. Those are separate topics.

Acknowledging what a person did, and what the character represents (Secret Chosen Boy and Intergalactic Manslut) is a necessary component of creating something better. ☝🏼 That's why I can't believe you care about film as a form of artistry, or the many artists who get passed by for famous jerks.
