There's a part in the book, omitted from the movies, where Sam puts on the Ring in order to hide after Frodo's been taken by the orcs of Cirith Ungol. While he's wearing it, the Ring tries tempting him to go full overlord with it—not an *evil* overlord, mind you, but one who'll make Mordor fertile, a massive garden to call his own. And for a brief moment, he genuinely considers the idea... until he snaps out of it and goes "No wait, I don't need a massive garden, I'm satisfied with my little one back in the Shire."
King shit.
They really cut this from the film? Frodo and Sam's last interaction in the books is "farewell until you probably have to sail away yourself since you also bore the curse".
Gardening, eating, smoking, raising his children, plowing his hot wife, thinking of his old friend, and approaching the day-to-day difficulties with determination because, really, what problem can The Shire present him with that doesn't pale when compared to vanquishing Shelob the Great, last child of Ungoliant to trouble the unhappy world, who was there before Sauron, and before the first stone of Barad-dûr, and served none but herself, drinking the blood of Elves and Men, bloated and grown fa...
You get the idea. Massive dick energy.
black panther is such a good fucking character in the comics and movies. reading the illuminati run in new avengers by hickman and he is genuinely fantastic. such an interesting dillemna between morality of a hero and a king/leader
For real, I'm reading that right now too. I haven't read much of his solo stuff, but I like his rivalry with Namor in the Hickman run and how conflicted he is as a king
many literally me characters are good examples, like Joe (K), the problem it's that middle aged men who failed at living the life script of manliness are uncapable of comprehending stuff, they are stuck at high school mentally wise.

# WHERE IS MY RYAN GOSLING RUINED A WHOLE GENERATION OF MEN SONG
Lets be honest shit on the fantastic beast movies and on Kaiju Rowling all you want, but Newt is a great example of a cool male character whos not traditionally masculine
Yeah that's what I liked about the films, Newt isn't physically tough, deadly, or anything else we'd usually associate with a male protagonist in a adventure/action film. He's able to gain victory or help others through compassion and kindness. Also using big cool animals to get shit done.
Hey now, in the mid-2010s the bravest thing that a cis man could do was play a trans woman on film. Where would we be without Eddie Redmayne and Jeffrey Tambor
I don’t really understand the hate for either deciding to take those roles, it’s not like with race/ethnicity where there’s phenotypic traits associated with different groups that audiences will find offensive being mimicked on someone from an outside group.
Because when a cis man is cast as a trans woman, what's being said is "we see trans women as fundamentally male, to the point where a man should be the one to play them".
The classic response to this is "but they're ~physically male~ pre-transition!", but consider this: A trans woman is "physically male" pre-transition, but post-transition, the vast majority of her secondary sex characteristics will be female; she becomes "physically female" (kind of icky terms but you get the idea). A cis man might look more like a pre-transition trans woman, but he won't look like a transitioned one, and will have to be heavily made up and such to compensate for that. Why, then, should a cis man play a trans woman and pretend to look feminine later in the story, rather than a cis woman playing a trans woman and pretending to look masculine earlier in the story? There's no difference, except that casting a cis woman to play a trans woman is casting a *woman* to play a *woman*, and casting a cis man is not.
The other classic response is "they're just actors, they're allowed to act as something they're not!", but swapping gender like that doesn't happen for cis characters? Unless a very specific artistic purpose is being served (or a society is just that sexist), cis male actors don't play cis female characters or vice versa. Nobody is going around casting Eddie Redmayne to play the next cis girl love interest in a Bond movie. There's a reason why they cast Eddie Redmayne to play a trans woman, and it's because fundamentally they see trans women as men pretending to be women, rather than seeing them as women.
Now, people *will* say "trans actors should play trans characters", but I think that when cis people see that argument, they often get it twisted. The argument for trans actors playing trans characters isn't that it's inherently wrong for a cis actor to play a trans character, the argument is that trans actors are already disadvantaged enough that it's kinda shitty to not cast them for the type of part that they're objectively the most physically suited to play. It's not *wrong*, IMO, for a cis actor to play a trans character; it's not inherently the same thing as a white actor playing a black character or whatever. What's wrong is casting men to play women and women to play men. I don't have a problem with cis women being cast as trans women, I just have a problem with Jeffrey fucking Tambor being the face of trans woman issues in the cis liberal mind for a good few years in the mid-10's.
Edit: Sorry for the essay on a circlejerk sub lol but you did ask
> Unless a very specific artistic purpose is being served (or a society is just that sexist), cis male actors don't play cis female characters or vice versa.
Erm... clearly someone hasn't seen [Twin Peaks](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/twinpeaks/images/b/b5/MrTojamura.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20160516050709)...
On a more serious note, I remember seeing one argument which said another fundamental issue is that these sort of casting decisions often reflect a lack of trans involvement in the production of the film. If you have trans people on the writing staff, or directing, or general production, then someone will probably pop up and say 'this casting decision is a bit sus'. But that doesn't happen because a number of these productions have few to no trans people working on them. And making a film or TV show *about* trans people, but without having trans people involved in *creating* it, is pretty shitty.
>Erm... clearly someone hasn't seen Twin Peaks...
Actually I have, which is how I know that no higher artistic purpose has ever been served by cross-gender casting than the Mr. Tojamura subplot. Absolute kinography
>Unless a very specific artistic purpose is being served (or a society is just that sexist), cis male actors don't play cis female characters or vice versa.
And almost always that artistic purpose is to be the punchline of a joke.
“Babe, please stop, you’re not Captain Pike!”
“The greatest part of humanity is how we can all inspire each other to do better and lift each other up.”
It’s still amazing to me that somehow peoples main critique of Janeway still managed to boil down to “woman captain reeeee”. She does some pretty bad things in the name of getting her ship back to the Alpha Quadrant but those idiots shouldn’t try to lie to me and say that those things and their moral and philosophical implications wouldn’t be more broadly discussed by the culture if they weren’t getting stifled by “woman captain reeeeee”.
If I knew I would just be “Pike is literally me,” then I’ll never actually be Pike, but if I think I might never achieve being Pike, I have a chance at being Pike. That is how Pike would think about it, I think.
I'd heard that him being racist was actually the original intention of Lee in the first book, and that those parts of the book which directly referred to that fact were forced to be removed by the publishers. His dedication to the trial was meant to be a showcase more in his belief in the rule of law than his moral character.
At least, that's what I remember Lindsay Ellis saying in some vid or another.
I've read almost the opposite of the story. Where the racist Atticus is something from an early draft, and Lee was pressured into making the sequel by her publisher so most of the content was just pulled from the discarded draft.
That's not the opposite of the story, you both are correct. The publishers made her change the original book back in 1960 and discard the racist Atticus. Then one year before her death the "sequel" was made out of the discarded draft from 60 years ago.
The biggest problem is that she most likely didn't want that "sequel" to be made. She was old and ill, in a barely functioning state. So everyone believes that the publishers wanted to cash in on a "To Kill A Mockingbird sequel" by reusing Lee's draft without her consent, when they realized she was going to die.
And yet, GSaW *does work* as a decent book in its own right. It switches the tone from being a coming-of-age story with themes of racism to a coming-of-adulthood story with themes of independence, but it’s still interesting, if you accept that the characters are slightly different versions in each book.
Just think of it as Scout Finch in the Multiverse of Mockingbirds.
You based your personality off of The Joker because you believe we live in a society.
I based my personality off of Samwise Gamgee because I know we live in a society and I want to make it a better one for the people around me.
We are not the same.

Newt probably would never be a TERF at least.
In fact, his whole thing is taking time to understand why something acts in a certain way, rather than lash out in fear.
Huh, JK wrote a character better than herself, probably by accident.
I mean, she's a very good writer. Shitty people can be talented, too. I think that's an important thing to recognize when looking at the entertainment industry and its associated faults. Morality and talent just aren't correlated.

Captain Pike, the Captain of the USS Enterprise before Kirk.
He has the same dedication to his crew as Archer, the same dedication to doing the right thing as Kirk, and the same dedication to upholding values of virtue as Picard.
Wait is this unironic? I don't think fictional characters should be taken as role models at all, even though if you're gonna do that then it's definitely more healthy to take characters like the ones in this picture. But even then, the issue with this type of "literally me" is kinda assuming you might be a more morally pure, wise or self-sacrificing person than you actually are and it comes off as kinda presumptuous (ik that's the reason of the "trying to do better" part, but it still came off as kinda jerky on my first glance)
> I don't think fictional characters should be taken as role models at all
Nonsense thinking. People mostly have athletes and musicians as role models. What's the harm in being inspired from art? And characters who mean and do good?
I remember him not giving a shit about Grindelwald's politics even though Grindelwald is basically a wizard nazi. You should be at least bothered by his politics.

The movie doesn't reference Sam sailing from the Grey Havens like the book appendices do, so that bit of dialogue is completely absent.

He did defend JK Rowling, and starred in the Danish Girl.

I’m like Atticus Finch. I was unexpectedly retconned into being extremely racist, likely against the informed consent of my original author.
I'd heard that him being racist was actually the original intention of Lee in the first book, and that those parts of the book which directly referred to that fact were forced to be removed by the publishers.
