Opined another: “There are other Timothy McVeighs out there who will be like ‘[this movie is] exactly what this country needs’ … The potential danger is that [right-wing] groups are not known for media literacy or nuance. And a psychotic gang of rednecks committing terrorism [in the film] to ‘own the libs’ might be obvious criticism to us, but might be interpreted as a role model to MAGA groups if not portrayed carefully.'”

There's people who watch It's Always Sunny and think the main characters are the "good guys" and we should root for them...

Side note:

Is the guy in the screenshot the Matt Damon look like who played a nazi in Breaking Bad?

Dudes in a lot and he's a pretty good actor.

Yeah, that's Jesse Plemons. He's married to Kirsten Dunst of all things. I just finished watching season 2 of Fargo with him and Dunst - both were amazing in it.

I always think of him as "Walmart Matt Damon".

EDIT: Fixed his last name

[–] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Nice, dudes been in a lot of stuff, and he's really good.

Not sure if looking like one of the biggest movie stars around helps or hurts his career. But he's been good in everything I've seen him in.

[–] ringwraithfish@startrek.website 3 points 8 months ago

Agreed! He plays the stoic sociopath really well, which is what I always seem to see him playing - Breaking Bad, Fargo Season 2 (less a sociopath here, but made very questionable choices), Black Mirror.

Might be a typecast, but I think he fits perfectly in this role.

[–] Rokin@lemm.ee 1 points 8 months ago

I was recently surprised seeing him in Like Mike as a bully. Great actor though

[–] Misanthrope@lemmy.ml -4 points 8 months ago

I always think Fat Damon or Downy Damon.

He's a great actor and better than Matt Damon, in my opinion.

That quote though, how condescending can you get? What's even worse, the whole article reads like this, a bunch of opinions of kids scared of the boogey man.
