Good on her for owning upto it and him for not making it awkward.
Yeah usually they double down and look way worse. I can appreciate that save

I still think her response is a bit shitty…
Why do you need to be “qualified” to talk about a character arc??
Like, it’s not some obscure term that only film critics know or something only they get to have an opinion on… Seems like some unnecessary gatekeeping.
It’s Twitter so everyone is required to be unnecessarily rude
She may just be pointing out how buzzwords seem to explode throughout the internet, like when someone mentioned boiling a frog in a pot and now someone shares that exact metaphor in every 1 in 4 threads.
And it isn’t even true.
What’s not true, exactly?
A frog will jump out of a pot of water before its hot enough to kill it.
I think maybe you’re not understanding the concept of a metaphor.
I understand metaphors just fine.
“Lightning never strikes the same place twice” is a metaphor that people think is true too, doesn’t mean we can’t use it.
But you’re the one saying we can’t use it…?
You’re only allowed to discuss topics you have PhD on.
I mean if we’re talking about vaccines that could be considered a legitimate point. But we’re talking about art.
I know you’re being sarcastic but still
Fair point, though I hated how that extended into political questions of vaccines from purely technical ones too often.
My personal view on the internet is that anyone writing in internet is potentially a lobotomized honey melon and not take shit as facts the instant reading it
the streamer Destiny does the same stupid shit with economics. Acts like anyone who talks about that subject MUST be an expert in that field or they don’t know anything about it.
It was an attempted ad hominem attack which backfired on her. A stupid argument in the first place and even more stupid because she got it wrong.
Oh yeah, I know someone who named her kid Khaleesi. Oh dear.
But let’s be honest if you’re going to call your kid Khaleesi that kid was always going to grow to be a stripper. Poor kid. She is going to be in high school before she learns how to lean to spell it.
Just to be nit picky: Khaleesi was a title, like queen or chieftess. The character was named Daenerys Targaryen. So they would technically have not named their child after a character.
Name one other Khaleesi.
< puts on geek hat and glasses >
Daenerys met several former khaleesi’s when she was brought before the Doth Khaleen. While at this point, their husbands had been killed and they had given up the title of Khaleesi and adopted the new title of Khaleen, they were at one point each a khaleesi.
The only one I can remember by name is, Ornela, the one that befriended Daenerys.
< removes geek hat and glasses >
Ha, I have a strategy for this case:
Ahem.
NEEEERD!
Its like calling your son King then.
But no one is going to see it like that, are they? They’re going to think about poorly written psycho dragon queen
Yeah I am okay with Twatter dying.
yeah kind of a dumb response to begin with so it’s good she realized
I was taught what a character arc was in 9th grade english class. It’s not a thing that exclusive to people who write for a living.
The concept of character arcs is also pretty well known, so it’s not exactly an intellectual flex
Wait, what happened with Dr Zoid?
He often scuttles away going “whoopwhoopwhoopwhoop”
Talking about character arcs isn’t exclusive to just people who write for a living.
As someone who is strictly a viewer, I care deeply about arcs because the story is boring otherwise. I’m not trying to be a story snob or anything, but I wish more people were aware of why they think some movies are boring so we can hold lazy studio ‘story-by-committee’ writing more accountable.
