Show Notes
Karl Urban explains that fans who talk about shows and movies that didn't go the way they wanted shouldn't be called toxic (if they are just speaking normally), but rather should be seen as passionate fans who CARE about the media being created. I think this is such an important topic in today's era since everything is so politically charged to the point that you HAVE to like or dislike something in order to tow in line with the machine. It's really simple. If you like or dislike something primarily based on the story, character development and continuity with lore, it means you're a passionate nerd and the executives at Disney, Lucasfilm, Marvel, or any studio, should take what you say to heart and think deeper about it rather than discarding you as a toxic fan if you're just expressing your thoughts normally. In my day, it was more of an argument about if you understood Star Wars or not...Unlike today where your entire personality and quality as a human is decided whether you liked the Acolyte or not.
