[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She is an exceptionally talented vocalist who, unfortunately, just tanked herself for awards season.

Far too many gifted actors who have appeared in the screen version of Broadway musicals or who have appeared in franchises (there will be two of these films) get the concept of fandom. They get that convention-attending, fanfiction-writing, fan-art-producing moviegoers love musicals, franchises, etc., and express their love in multiple, creative ways.

I'm sure there is fan art of Angela Bassett's Marvel character, there was tons of attention on Hugh Jackman for "Les Mis" and "X-Men" including fan fiction, tons of fan art that they bring as gifts to conventions. I've seen videos of "Star Trek" and Marvel actors receiving illustrations and drawings of their characters. And here was some fan who loves a Broadway musical and was expressing excitement for the musical and the movie.

She just overplayed her hand. My goodness. What a moment to kick this up, as hurricanes have ravaged the South, there is a highly contention election coming up, conflict all over the world...

Does she have a point? Yes. But it was so over the top about the injustice of it all...READ THE ROOM.[/quote]

Very well said. If she cannot engage with how fandom culture does things like fan art, she's too out of touch to be a franchise film star. [/quote]
