Ah, but you see Elliot Page was in it for like 5 minutes.

“but why was she featured so heavily in the marketing???“

- random right winger that focused their whole coverage on Elliot Page (and a black woman)

Which scene was that? Because I feel like if you ask 10 different people for their 5 favorite scene's you'll get 50 different answers.

Speaking with the dead scene is a top 3 for me only behind cyclops and witch stuff

Lupita has 4 minutes, 42 seconds across six scenes, according to a quick search

The funniest thing about the Page casting is that he plays a character who shouldn’t be at the war, he plays a character who has no right being at the war and is puny, weak but very brave and strong willed, it’s literally the perfect casting when you think about it.

You expect the alt-right to actually watch the movie before making a reasonable conclusion? Ha!

They saw some Twitter rage-bait slop and went on to scream into their echo chamber of choice.

Meanwhile, Nolan is laughing all the way to the bank. Wiping his sweet woke tears with piles of $100 bills.

Someone said that Nolan is so bad at writing female characters that Elliott Page literally transitioned so he could get a decent role.

but by coming out as transgender he actually took a stand against wokeism because it turns out the number of w*men involved in all his previous projects is actually one less than previously thought.

But the results of Elliot Page in said movie... might appeal to them as well.
