don’t attack john boyega for saying poe/finn isn’t “more than a bromance” like… i’m not thrilled with his answer either but he doesn’t have creative control over the movies, he’s not an untouchable legacy cast member like mark hamill, he could be penalized by the Walt Disney Corporation for suggesting his character is gay/bi - i’m already seeing people being like, “wtf john ur not my fave anymore” and like, stop
also worth noting that john was reportedly only paid $100,000 for his work in the force awakens and is currently in the process of renegotiating his contract for episode viii so now is probably not the time to be incurring the wrath of disney by unilaterally declaring finn gay or bi
“only paid $100,000″ is incredible. there are better reasons for defending this dude just so u know
uh yeah lol it is actually a problem that a young black actor was paid $100,000 for the lead role in a movie with a $200 million budget which went on to gross $1.8 billion worldwide, especially when you consider his white co-stars (i.e., adam driver) earned vastly higher paycheques for vastly less screentime
