Not an e-celeb but I never liked Harry Potter and now I feel like I know it all along

Funnily enough the guy who played Harry Potter seems pretty cool tho

[–] Klear@lemmy.world 41 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Played who? Oh, you mean the actor from Guns Akimbo! He's awesome.

[–] DrPop@lemmy.world 16 points 2 months ago

You mean Swiss Army Man right, he was fantastic in that.

True, iirc he made it very clear that he doesn't subscribe to JKR's transphobia

I was young and a lot of little things bother me enough to quit halfway through. I eventualy watched a long form review of the series and realized I was right about it being bad.

I never really got too into it, it was always kinda just a franchise that I interacted with sometimes. Like if I was at a friend's house and they had the movies on or they had Lego Harry Potter on their console of choice I'd be into it. But it always kinda just struck me as an extremely generic franchise. I read the first book as a kid and then kinda just didn't feel compelled after that. I feel like there is so much more you could do with magic in a modern setting other than a half-assed isekai.

Those are a legitimate reason to not like an e-celebrity.

[–] TrousersMcPants@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

Yeah but not a good reason to feel justified in not liking them, lol

Ishowspeed except how many times he does something shitty no one cares.

Dudes been racist to Chinese, Indians, pulled a crypto scam and tons more. Why are people oblivious to his shit?

I never could get behind Jane in Firefly who seemed like a useful asshole. So yeah. I expected Adam Baldwin to be who he turned out to be.

I know who this is directed at. Said person always reaches a new low.
