With Star Wars: The Force Awakens, director J.J. Abrams sought to prop up and revitalize the most popular film franchise in movie history, to preserve its qualities in amber for a new generation. The Force Awakens was very concerned about what you, the moviegoer and fan, thinks about Star Wars. It wants to please you. It wants to be comfort food. And it’s very, very good at that.
But with Star Wars: The Last Jedi, director Rian Johnson wants to burn Star Wars to the ground. Not because he harbors ill will toward it, but because he loves it. He loves it so much that he wants to cleanse the garden and allow something fresh and new to grow. The Last Jedi is not concerned about what you, the moviegoer and fan, thinks about Star Wars. It wants to challenge you and make you question what Star Wars is and what it can be.

Now that Disney owns Fox I know this is going to start again, so I’m saying this:
If you ship MCU Spideypool: Great, is your life and your choice, and as long as you know it’s fiction and don’t go defending pedophilia in real life, you can ship them or any other pairing. I don’t, but I don’t mind either, I know that sometimes fiction is an outlet and a way to work things out, and you shouldn’t feel ashamed of what you like or not. However, if you are going to upload something of them in that form, maybe use a special tag to make easier for people to block it, so they don’t see it if they don’t want to. The Spideypool tag is too general, but MCU Spideypool of something like that can help.
If you don’t ship MCU Spideypool, but do ship Spideypool in other forms: Great, is your life and your choice. Just please, don’t go saying other people they’re disgusting and comparing them to pedophiles just because you as a person cannot sepparate fiction from reality. And by no way feel proud of attacking real people for fictional characters, because that’s definitely not right. Now, if you feel real frustrated and want to say all that you hate about MCU Spideypool, ok, I guess sometimes you need an outlet too, but as a favour, please try to not use the tag at least? It can make someone uncomfortable.
And if you don’t ship Spideypool in any way: Great, it’s your life and your choice, as long as you respect the fact that some people do ship them.
And if you really hate the pairing: Great, just don’t use the tag of the pairing to shame others, go find someone that hates them as much as you do and chat for a while, laugh and share, but keep it to yourselves, or use an anti tag.
We all can have different things we like or hate, but it doesn’t matter how much you like or not something fictional: DO NOT ATTACK OR SHAME REAL PEOPLE FOR LIKING SOMETHING IN FICTION.
LIKING SOMETHING IN FICTION DOES NOT NECESSARILY REFLECT WHAT THEY APPROVE IN REALITY.
“In fact, during the audition with Chris Evans, the script says, “Spidey flips into scene,” and Tom goes, “Oh, should I do that?” Evans is like, [sarcastically] “Oh, yeah. Yeah, you just flip into the scene kid. No, you just walk in.” He does it. A standing flip, jump, flip, land. Even Chris Evans was like, “What…what happened?” – Kevin Feige, producer and President of Marvel
