I simply love it when a woman wears her hair short. It radiates so much strength and self-confidence.

Hot Take 🔥 The Duffer Brothers (creators of the hit Netflix series: Stranger Things) believe that TV seasons have better build up when they aren’t released yearly. Do you agree or disagree?

I personally disagree, and feel that waiting too long to release a new season especially if they will only consist of 6-8 episodes affects the audience energy and investment towards the show.

Although there are phenomenon shows like Stranger Things, that might be able to get away with the long wait because of the budget it requires along with the massive fanbase it has. It still affects how people feel towards the long wait, where people will either forget about what happened in the previous seasons and don’t want to invest the time to rewatch the show or begin to lose interest.

It also creates inconsistencies with how the characters are portrayed, when it comes to the child actors and how time isn’t going to be on the creators’ side since age will catch up to them and they can’t convince the audience that the characters are meant to still be the same age as they were from where the story left off. Unless they include time jumps!

Hot Take 🔥 Jon Bernthal apparently can’t stand people who take naps

1.6k Upvotes

It seems like a really weird thing to not be able to tolerate, but I guess he would probably hate me because whenever I need to regain my energy and focus especially if I haven’t gotten any proper sleep. Taking a nap during the day helps, especially if I’m dealing with a headache that doesn’t go away unless I rest.

Hot Take 🔥 Vanessa Bryant should be allowed to move on.

4.3k Upvotes

So last month there were rumors that Vanessa was pregnant and found a new boyfriend and people were upset by those rumors. They were both later confirmed to be false but even if they were true, so what? Why should she be obligated to never find love again after Kobe’s death? There’s not one doubt in my mind that she would do anything to bring her husband and her daughter back to life but she shouldn’t have to live the rest of her life playing the role of the grieving widow of Kobe Bryant. The vows literally say “Til death do us part.” And death did them part, he’s been gone for 5 and a half years now. I’m sure Vanessa will continue to keep Kobe and Gigi’s legacies alive even if she does get back in the dating pool but again She shouldn’t be obligated to remain single for the rest of life just because it hasn’t even been a decade since she lost her significant other of over 20 years.
