There's a very well known version of Hamlet where they're all animated lions, mind you.

[Anna loves Chul 3000. @SUJUSHlDAE_]

shakespeare's stories also aren't real but if i said hamlet had an iphone you'd rightfully point out the inconsistency. greece is a real place and the odyssey is rooted in its real culture. if you think fictional tales don't have historical value i fear literature is not for you.

am i the only person who was awake during this film and remembers peter getting the apartment in an under the table deal from a dodgy landlord who said it was filled with asbestos and peter, who is part spider, isn't affected by that

Everyone made it seem like Tom was overreacting here but every British child suffers Princess Diana PTSD and he was not about to take any risks

@0meg45 He also traded in the most loyal type of fans, women and women of colour specifically, to cater to the most fickle type of fans, white male film bros and incels.

@0meg45 @RealChalamet I don't like to make assumptions I can't prove but the fact all three hit pieces either reference him or were written by people who have done puff pieces on him earlier this year 👀

[Independent George @ripindepth]

The fact that three publications have now done this is really making those hit piece allegations seem legitimate. Which rather begs the question who is behind them and why.

Tom Holland, like Peter Parker in the new Spider-Man movie, has been dealing with some growing pains. ‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’ starts off by speeding through what would have been Peter’s college years to pick up with him in his early 20s. He has also been going through a spider puberty of sorts, causing his wrists to sprout organic web slingers that render his old mechanical ones unusable and making him prone to fits of black-eyed aggression. This is his equivalent of a spider molting, shedding its old exoskeleton to hopefully emerge — stronger and more resilient — into adulthood. “But the movie has no idea what that adulthood might look like,” writes film critic Alison Willmore.

Part of this is a Spider-Man problem — growing up has never entirely suited Peter Parker, who’s always felt most natural as some kind of student. But part of this is an issue with Holland, who’s risen to movie-star status on the strength of the Marvel character but who himself is teetering on the edge of a grown-up career that feels a lot less certain. When Jon Bernthal’s Punisher, with whom Spider-Man is inexplicably paired up for this installment, growls, “I’m gonna kill that kid,” it’s a reminder that Holland also just spent ‘The Odyssey’ playing a boy waiting to come of age while elsewhere in the same film actual children get enlisted into war.

“Timothée Chalamet is the same age but plays characters whose core tension is their desire to be taken seriously as men despite their youthfulness,” writes Willmore. “Unlike him, Holland feels perched on the edge of the unknown — like the movies aren’t allowing him to grow up because they’re not sure what a grown-up Holland character entails.”

Read Willmore on how, in the latest ‘Spider-Man’ film, Holland, like the superhero he’s playing, struggles to show us what might be next: https://t.co/NwGHjLMRXG

This is actually some of the most constructive commentary I’ve seen on the matter. It is important to avoid normalizing her appearance.She doesn’t shame Ariana for her sickness.She holds her team accountable for their lack of care for their artist. More people need to be honest
