      It was a big chunk of their lives and the media scrutiny was intense. I’m sure they don’t regret it and have lots of great memories but you’d probably be enjoying the relative freedom afterwards.

        In an interview, Sophie Turner said she hasn’t watched the show and that the theme song gave her PTSD, so I’m not so sure

          I guess she was also a bit younger when she started, maybe that changes her perception of it all. The adult stars like Clarke and Harington were in the spotlight from the first season. Like Turner had a few years of childhood where the internet and media mostly showed some restraint whereas Clarke was sexualised from day dot.

    “You’re Unlikely to See Me Get on a Dragon Ever Again”

    How about hopping on this big ol’ pile of money?

    I mean the rest of her career hasn’t gone so well that I think she can be choosy but you know good luck.

    Also I don’t know if Star Wars or Marvel is really all that different. Aren’t there dragons in marvel?

      Being a main charector on GOT likely means she wont ever worry about money again. Estimates vary, but she was making 3-5 million per season since season 5.

      She can probably be pretty choosy.

        Yeah I’m sure she could be choosing from that perspective, the problem is that with her quality of work recently I’m not sure anyone else will choose her.

    Either you lean into it and become that person. Or you get away from it as far as you can. Your career is over if you try to do both. She’s smart for picking one or the other.

    Sad. Did Star Wars not count as fantasy then? (her role was awesome in that, it’s just that the movie is forgettable to most people)

      Honestly she’s had such a run of terrible movies, but Solo was not one of them. She really stole every scene she was in in that

        I honestly think that is the second best Disney star wars movie, and if it hadn’t released after the “Last Jedi” it would have been received better by everyone.

        I think it’s a shame we won’t see where that plot line was going with Darth maul as it seems like they had a real plan for that story arc (so much so that it keeps popping up in other shows/games).

          We might get it someday. “Star Wars: Maul – Shadow Lord” comes out this year and covers the post Clone Wars era. Solo is a bit beyond that, but could get there if the show runs long enough, has time jumps or a follow up show.

            Haha, I hadn’t heard of that, but I guess that kinda makes my point about them really wanting to tell that story arc.

          Agreed. People were mad it wasn’t related to the main plot but I agree it’s mostly because of how last Jedi fell flat. It it was released now after the sequels it might have done better

          Probably becasue she is a shit actress and Solo was forgettable in every possible way.

            There is nothing else to say

            The bulk of the movie is a checklist of things that are better done as single lines I conversations in other movies. They were all dull as shit.

            • Han get his gun CHECK
            • Han meets Chewie CHECK
            • Han gets the Falcon CHECK
            • Han meets Lando Check

            When the movie deviated from those it got really bad,

            There was all the halfbaked shit Enfys.

            There was the silly shit with Emilia Clark and finally the big reveal of Dark Maul, that I guess was cool if you watched some cartoon.

    This is just so stupid.

    LEAN into it Emilia.

    This shit is just like Andrew McCarthy and his endless whining about The Brat Pack label.

    FOOL that was a marketing bonanza opportunity that you refuse to exploit, therefore your career went no where as you were so dull. The boy was a ten envelope stapled to a beige wall.

    Well TOO BAD WE GOT AI NOW BIATCH

    We can put you on WHATEVER dragon we want WHEN WE WANT IT.

    Ok to be fair I don’t really want to put her through that at all, even if it is a electronically generated image of her riding a dragon.
