Scarlett Johansson though has that five minute scene early in the film done in one shot which is absolutely visceral. So I wouldn't say either actor is better. And this is also the end of like a ten minute fight scene where they both go for it at some point.

They removed one of the best episodes of Community on suicide, bullying and weight shaming. And it was a guy dressed as an elf for a few minutes. They even purposely pointed out how even cosplaying a character can be problematic. And the joke was at the expense of the character.

Tumblr political culture is so pretentious because a lot of the people who use it have an immature understanding of social and political science. Hence why they feel the need to label people and then stereotype and lump together groups. They don't get that people are complex.
@TheWrap
Let me get this straight. Chang is playing an elf and gets mocked for his outfit. Meanwhile, the entire message of the episode about bullying and fat-shaming is ignored. And yet Netflix is happy to MAKE Insatiable, which uses offensive fat stereotypes at its core. Thanks Netflix!
@IndieWire
Hillsong is such a huge international church though with many branches that it's pretty much it's own denomination at this point. One person's opinion doesn't represent the whole church. That being said, Hillsong is a nutcase cult church with shady business tactics & weird ideas.

I and a lot of fans waited a heck of a long time to see a Black Widow film, and dealt with a truly awful ending arc to her character as well as bad writing of her character in almost every film. We want her film to get treated PROPERLY. That means a cinema release. You can wait.

You do realise that attacking and shaming people based on weight does not help, right? Shaming people and making them hate their bodies plays a major role in eating disorders and unhealthy weight loss practices and discourages people from seeking support if they need it.
@RetiredMaybe
She obviously should get into trouble. But publishing her address online so any psycho can target her house is also extremely wrong. There are so many cases of people on the internet taking their idea of justice way too far. And she clearly had kids, who should be protected.
@lavenderhatchet
"Outacted"?! Are you kidding me? 😂 her career is filled with incredible performances like Lost in Translation.
Her recent performance in Marriage Story was nothing short of PHENOMONAL. Mind blowingly good. Her and Driver have an argument scene which is visceral and flawless.

The fact he has no history of being a DV perpetuater and is painted as passive by his exes is important. Typically abusers will repeat the DV behaviour over and over with different partners. He doesn't fit it at all. And abusers also target passive personalities like he has.

Except it isn't. Have you actually watched a lot of the early Bond franchise, which is what they're talking about? Because I have. It is as far from realistic as imaginable. The women are all models who are hypersexualised to the degree it's funny. That is typical spy genre
@bluGrape2012
@benmekler
No. I don't think so. Her backstory is easily one of the saddest and most brutal of any of the MCU characters. She is an extremely complex antihero. It's why I and all the Black Widow fans have called for a movie for so long. We wanted a dark, emotional film.

What you're missing is that there are thousands of people much lower on the pecking order who are also being screwed out of the pay they deserve and need to live on. And they can't afford to sue like scarlett Johansson can. She is the one who can publically hold them accountable

Intersectionality just means seeing intersection of different inequalities of privileges. It certainly isn't about shaming or segregating people or fake women's. The point of it is that people are complicated. And sweeping stereotypes based on one "label" like race, is dumb.
@MrNiceGuy18_58
I mean, they don't really take risks in a lot of ways. Marvel has a formula that works at making money. And the ideologies of the films are hardly progressive. I did a whole assignment on the MCU for uni so I had to look in detail at it.
@adarahjones

@ElCanaco
@TelegraphFilm
I think it's more that the Bond situation is normalised. So it ends up relying on very old, problematic tropes regarding women in film/ TV. Whereas the opposite is taboo. Challenging the norm & gender-flipping it to show the hypocrisy. So it is going to be viewed differently.
@BrzenskaI

Maybe actually read up on the issue before getting mad. This is a big corporation trying to get out of paying their due. They are not just screwing her over... It's something that affects a tonne of workers in the industry too. And the grey area of streaming is a big worry.

He is an elf. White hair. Elf ears. And the joke is at the expense of the character and also issues with costumes and cosplaying. Also, pretty sure even YNB said it wasn't blackface. Never heard of anyone wanting it removed. Also, it could have been edited out if it was offensive
@Terra4Gary

Firstly, Scarlett Johansson was not against a streaming release. In fact, she contacted Disney very early on about her contract. And during the pandemic she reached out again. They lied to her & said it would only release in theatres & if anything changed they'd contact her.
@I_DropKickHoes
@MarvelStudios
For instance, in the Avengers she tricks Loki, the God of mischief, into revealing his plans. And while the male Avengers are mindlessly fighting brutes and losing, she actually figures out how to stop the invasion by closing the portal. She plays it smart.

The idea she has a rich white agenda for stealing roles is a joke. One of her parents is a European immigrant pretty sure. Other has a Jewish history going back to the holocaust where her family died. Her family relied on welfare. Making a few mistakes doesn't make her evil.
@WANDASPU55Y

She also faked evidence and incidents, which was refuted by police, evidence, and her own staff. One incident she accused him (and even put fake bruises on for) was physically impossible as he had not been in the same country as her for weeks and weeks.
@LocalSoundwave
@beanliege
Not only that, but they could have easily edited the episode. But again, no one wanted this. These kinds of cheap, useless decisions, as you say, undermine real issues, and also allow companies to pretend they're progressive while actually implementing no real change at all.
I wish! I sure hope Marvel does something to try to justify or makeup for Endgame. As it is, Endgame was a slap in the face as a long-time Black Widow fan. And it COMPLETELY undermined her movie (by decimating her arc and leaving it half-baked). They damn well better fix it.

And like the suckers that we are, us Community fans immediately crawl out of our holes at the word "movie". Just to hear an actor say for the fifth time that, "yes, I still want to do the movie. No, I do not when it will happen. I am not a Sony Executive or Dan Harmon."

Right, so every other male OG Avenger gets a long dedicated send-off. Black Widow gets a thirty second scene which the Russo brothers didn't even say WAS a funeral, and where they don't even mourn her. And then a few lines of dialogues at the end. Are you kidding me?

An actor trying to learn blocking and lines and take direction from the director and others on set... As well as be there for crew set-up (e.g. so a gaffer can tweak the lighting) does not have the time nor the expertise needed to properly check every gun in every scene.

Of all the cast, she has to have one of the healthiest careers.She has balanced the big MCU films with a lot of beloved smaller films like Under the Skin and Her. The MCU is also how she met Taika Waititi which is how she got at least one of her Oscar nominations.
Yeah, the idea Scarlett Johansson can't sing is crazy. I even have some of her music on my Spotify. She can sing pretty high (and I'm a soprano so high is mah thing) and can go to ridiculously low. As in RIDICULOUSLY low. She can sing stuff guys can't hit.

Singing on Broadway does not equal best actor for the role in a FILM. They are completely different mediums.
Musical theatre training places emphasis on singing, not acting, and certainly not on film and TV acting. I know that from my own acting training and from professionals
