And you don’t think really wanting the character to die in the next movie isn’t a thinly veiled expression of anything else?
I certainly don’t. Movie logic ‘within the glass’ is very different from the real world. Horror movies play up our desire to see people with flaws pay the ultimate price for them. If characters like Jar Jar or Rose trigger this response, albeit unintentionally, that’s a fundamentally different thing IMO than real-world hate spewed toward the real people involved. (That could be addressed by the Internet’s larger tendency to give people’s darker sides a loudspeaker through anonymity.)
^ This. Also if you hate a particular character in a movie/franchise you otherwise like, probably the easiest exit from the story for that character with little chance of coming back is for that character to be killed off.
For me, I dont see Rose as needing to die, I just would have preferred that she wasnt in Star Wars in the first place and now because of my lack of care about IX, I couldnt care less what they do with her character.
I can definitely see how some people might veil their true intentions and feelings by attacking an actor indirectly through their character but I can also see people simply hating such a character and wishing they would die so as to conclusively remove them from the story (except of course if youre a Jedi post Qui-Gon 😉 ). I can see both sides of the coin and how one might need to observe someone for a while to try and determine which side they might be using, hence why youre keeping tabs on their Rose related posts Silverwook 😉
