It was a really good article. Wasn't it just? I couldn't stop reading.
Put like this, Poe is lucky that Leia just shot him in the chest and not the balls. It's one of the things I love the most, how that film takes scenarios we are familiar with and just... switch everything around. If it had been Leia in charge, obviously we would have known Poe was in the wrong. But the trope of 'Wrong headed person gets put in charge, doesn't listen to Young Bright Sparks and they then go on to save the day' is *so* familiar that to see it upended clearly upset a LOT of people. :D
*GESTURES* MRAs ARE THE ENEMY!
ties in with one of my favourite C.S. Lewis quotes: I love that quote too! <333 So accurate.
Illustrated both by Kylo and by Luke. Mmmm. I want to go back and re-read it all.
