The Narcissism of the Self-Proclaimed Artist

What is your take on my video and the whole situation?

Her diss track looks like a GAP commercial parody from SNL

Such a shame that Disney chooses to glorify ugly narcissists.

I feel like she’s poisoned the well right off the bat by just assuming the worst about the people criticizing the show. She seems to have forgotten that criticism does not equal attack and that it’s a necessary thing in growing as an entertainer or artist or writer.

No, you are wrong, Mr Storyteller. Amandla was given the role because of Headland fancying her. She did not have to endure casting like any of you normal folks. She was given the opportunity to play the double lead in the most expensive franchise just due to her looks... And from this point of view, yeah, she deserves this! Her father struggled as a Danish guy (the Danish had colonies, by the way) and Amandla just demands what should be hers forever, it's that simple. The Danish were pushed down for 400 years and they should finally rise again! Hail identity politics!

First of all, I had no idea she released a music video. But right after I watched the video, it doesn't seem to be about star wars at all. The same way race or gender is not the problem with the acolyte. The problem is bad writing and storytelling.

I think the contrast between how today's Disney Wars "stars" and how Hayden Christensen handled crictism of his Anakin Skywalker performance is a very big reason why Hayden is so beloved by Star Wars fans today. He stayed classy through the adversity, and now is is just as much as Star Wars icon as Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher and Harrison Ford. And if these young "artists" think they have it bad, talk to Jake Lloyd!

I think the fact that she took the time out of her day to write,play,record,edit and release the diss track towards the "haters" of the show goes to show the level of narcissism she's living under. If you are a creative,regardless of which medium (music,tv,film,art,literature) you are not ABOVE criticism or exempt from it! Sure,there are people who will troll,but as the rules of the internet state: Don't feed the troll The more fuel you throw onto the fire,the more you stoke the inferno. Lots of people criticising the show should have been a wake up call and a call to self reflect. But if someone believes they can do no wrong,that they are always a victim and being oppressed just because of their gender/skin color/sexual orientation or whatever they are lost already. Because any negative or critical comment is taken in as a personal attack rather than being directed towards the show just being bad and the audience (remember,the people who are actually paying you!) not wanting something like that,not to mention how it goes into a vicious cycle (creating woke propaganda in the show>it being negatively recieved and bashed>it being seen as a sexist minority/personal attack>creating more woke propaganda) until the money well dries out. And yes,i fully agree with you. Being an artist is a privilege, which some of these people do not realise...instead being so in love with themselves and thinking themselves above others and just so much better,when in reality they just had a better hand dealt and a sprinkle of luck to make it as big as they did.

Trust me everyone when I say, this girl is not happy. She's making this so called "diss track" because she's the one crying inside, and is dying to have someone join her. Don't give in to this manipulation. & Great video!!

james maturely asks why Amandala does this. An easy an obvious answer is she's 25. Who among us was truly emotionally mature at 25. I know I wasn't. Now I don't disagree with James, but we also have to remember to give young people grace. Just because they are growing and maturing in public doesn't mean it's any less difficult. Just a thought

I find gay and black representation harder to “believe” as authentic when I’m just seeing someone who looks like me succeeding at everything they do. Characters with nothing to relate to besides success, which feels more like watching the rich and famous pat themselves on the back for their art. I feel the criticism she received for Rue was unfair, as Rue was black and Amandla played her fairly well as a child and did not deserve the racial hate she received so young. There’s many movies like Beasts of No Nation and Bound I consider to both be diverse and have amazing characterization and performances. I don’t see that with the Acolyte, which is a shame. But I see that with Rue.

Lemme get this straight. She created a song, copyrighted the song, created a music video based on the song, copyrighted the video, set up lawyers to go after anyone showing the video all within three days time. Wow. She must be Jesse Quick. 😂

i didn`t know the danes had it so hard that they were enslaved for so long.

Cluster-Bs gonna Cluster-B.

I recently looked up the career of Ida Lupino. I'm a Baby Boomer from the era of B&W TV. One show I liked was about a couple of B actors in Hollywood called "Mr Adams and Eve". Ida Lupino, despite the name, was English. She wanted to be a scriptwriter. Since she was pretty people advised she become an actress, too. She moved to California and changed her accent. Finally she got her break. She was a scriptwriter on a film that had started filming when the director got so sick he would be out for a couple weeks. She stepped up and said she could direct -- and did. She wrote and directed and acted in a lot of men's films like "The Sea Wolf" with Edgar G. Robinson. She did a feminist film about rape. She did the first version of the suspense film "The Hitcher" which has gone thru 2 remakes.

If Lucasfilm can fire Gina Carano, can they fire her as well?

I think she should be ignored. Completely. Which is the opposite of what's happening now.

And, just continuing my deep personal thoughts), then maybe, just mb, Disney's have to change their minds about this situation eventually. I'm not shure really it will, and that's make me sad, but i still cherish a hope

1:57-2:03 Regardless of whether I agree or disagree with the other points made in this video, I definitely agree with this point. Just because people give you a platform to say whatever you want doesn’t mean you should.

Yes I agree Video is cringe very distasteful like you said a rant but the video based 2018 interview she had with Trevor Noah promoting her movie back then the hate you give bout a white cop killing a black boy for no reason and she was saying making white people cry meaning white people should have empathy look at black people as human beings so the old clip of that resurface the internet didn’t like when she said make white people cry so they made comments and she got mad so she clapping back reason she made this video didn’t has nothing to do with Acolyte show
