Look at Star Wars TFA's overexposure of Kylo Ren and underexposure of Rey for example.

Is that sexism, or is it just more promoting the Edgelord of the Sith because kewl dudes sell? I recall a lot of Darth Maul promotion, and he's way less prominent in his film than Kylo in his.

I didn't really see the ad campaign for Force Awakens, so I can't really say how it played out, however. Is there an analysis somewhere about it?

Probably doesn't help that Kylo is a whiny little bitch who completely fails to be intimidating or edgy or compelling except in a "Jesus Christ THAT'S what the dark side has to work with these days?!" sense.

Quite literally why I like him. He's just so pathetic, it's great. They couldn't out-badass Vader, so they didn't even try.

Makes his role in Ferris Bueller a little hosed up in retrospect. Why's he so obsessed with that young boy?!

Yeah, because there was an Andre Marek from another dimension who came to ours 600 years ago, who was identical to ours.

There's a part in Timeline which I always thought was hilariously stupid, which is when the CEO reveals they only know how to transmit people, they have no idea how people actually arrive on the other side; they are, in fact, counting on the other dimensions having figured that out for them, thus everyone in the story is dead right from the start :allears:

I kept thinking referring to the Wachowskis as 'sisters' was an immature dig at only one of them being trans, not realizing that the other one has come out as trans too.

I just keep on with "the Wachowskis" since there's not exactly many other notables with that surname, you know?
