@mainmantone@rj_eazy @BonesAndEllie Yea I feel you. She’s trash, and she didn’t have to be. They chose to make her that way
I think when I saw it, Teyana’s performance helped it land, for me. When she leaves her daughter, you see the duality, you see the nuance, the decent.
But I get it, you’re not wrong at all.
@mainmantone@rj_eazy @BonesAndEllie Fasho. The movie is a comedy, so there are exaggerated elements to it cuz the genre it’s in. But that’s a bit of cope, I’ll admit.
the duality is the question “what type of person does it take, to go to a detention center and hold agents at gun point?” Sometimes, flawed ppl.
@rj_eazy@philloutlater@mainmantone @BonesAndEllie But “good” is is still so subjective in this case.
Regina’s character was apart of the same group of people bombing banks, and aiming guns at people. She was in as deep as anyone else.
Yes teyana was “worse”, but none of it’s black and white. Which is the whole point.
@mainmantone@rj_eazy @BonesAndEllie That’s the point of her character. That duality, of actually being a cause of change, but how sometimes those people are still flawed and end up fighting their own demons.
When we see protests that turn to riots, unfortunately it’s these type of people to blame.
@mainmantone@rj_eazy @BonesAndEllie “run in the first place” when she was arrested after the killing in the bank? She fled the first chance she got, Presumably.
But you’re right, she’s selfish a piece of shit.
But she’s also the type of person who’s going to go into a detention camp, and actually free people.
