A decade since it aired, Shameless (U.S.) has always stuck to its guns (and baseball bats) about character diversity.
The power of a talented female director like Patty Jenkins and an overall diverse cast is what makes this film worth watching for me.
It only seems to prove that when the company had their backs against the wall and needed an all pleasing, generic movie that had to make up for The Last Jedi, they chose to sacrifice almost everything that made their main protagonist interesting and that made her stand out as the strong female character that a generation of young movie goers was supposed to look up to. Instead, we were left with a Rey that was so much less than she could have been. And I guess that’s the real story of Rey and The Rise of Skywalker; they could have been so much more, but they were just more of the same.
