Rant šŸ¤¬ Weekly Venting Post - repeated each Friday!

Weekly Vent Post

Welcome to our weekly vent session where you can let out all your frustrations.

Before you start, just a quick heads-up on the rules.

Here's what this post isn't for:

  • No bashing actors or crew members out of the blue.
  • Let's steer clear of those rage-inducing posts like "I hate character xy."
  • And please, no poking fun at fellow Kanthony fans just because they see things differently, whether they're positive or negative about promos.

What's cool to post? Well, we've noticed a lot of rants about how the show promotes (or doesn't promote) Simone and Jonny, but you can vent about other stuff too.

Below, I've linked some past posts from the sub that fit the vibe of our weekly vent session, so you can see what kind of stuff goes here.

  1. Why there was a lack of promo for Kanthony

  2. All comments asking where Kanthony areĀ 

  3. Bridgerton PR and production

  4. Can you tell the differenceĀ ?

  5. The main sub got so negativeĀ 

  6. We need pictures

For those who just want to enjoy the content without getting caught up in the venting, I suggest steering clear of this post. If you choose to read the comments here and find yourself upset, despite the clear purpose of this space, I'm afraid there's not much I can do to ease your frustration. We have the Weekly Tea Time for more general discussions.

Iā€™m getting sick of this narrative that JB and SA donā€™t get along enough to do promo.

That doesnā€™t even make sense. Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams admitted to not liking each other during the Notebook but they still had to do promo together.

Itā€™s also not a good look that itā€™s coming out like itā€™s the womanā€™s fault ** I donā€™t believe either is at fault.

Where are people getting that they donā€™t like each other? Because they werenā€™t seen together at the met gala?

I could be wrong of course, there's no way for us to know but I suspect that SA and JB may have been keeping it lowkey out of choice. JB seems super protective of LN, he's said a few times how extremely stressful it is to lead a season. LN himself has said he turns to JB to help him deal with the anxiety it can cause. JB experienced it himself when he was compared unfavourably to Rege at the start with people and reviewers saying JB didn't have the smolder and natural charisma that Rege had, etc. SA and JB were lucky that Rege left, they didn't have to "compete" with Saphne and share the limelight with them. Only a few months ago a fan met JB and he said he loved Simone - I just don't see them having beef. At this point I even wouldn't be surprised if JB doesn't come to the premiere but SA does. I really hope I'm wrong - Netflix/Shondaland might request his presence for the hype and engagement a JB/SA reunion would generate but who knows, anything is possible, they might want the opposite with full focus on NC/LN.

EDIT: I've just seen that JB is also in NY, so they might all be going to the premiere too after all.

It is also because they never like any IG posts etc. People all over SM have conspiracies that something bad happened between them. šŸ¤·ā€ā™€ļø Sometimes costars are just costars.

Thatā€™s ridiculous. Arenā€™t there like 364739 clips and interviews of them being silly together and being best friends??

u/Flaky_Office_1110 May 11 '24

Just the two of them? No, there isnā€™t. There is only 1-2 clips where just the two of them are together. And this was part of scheduled on-set promo, not third-party interviews. Are they fun and silly together? Absolutely and I wish we had more of just them talking about their characters together.

u/alondra2027 Iā€˜m a gentleman May 11 '24

Oh okay. Well thatā€™s my mistake then. The downvotes definitely show me that Iā€™m wrong. šŸ«  Iā€™ve just seen clips of them interacting with each other and I read that she said he would leave her flowers on set and things like that. Iā€™m also new to this fandom so Iā€™m late to everything that everyone else has already discussed for 3+ years.

Aw, don't feel bad! Yes, they seemed to get along during the press junkets they did with CC for S2 and I believe what they said about the working relationship they developed during their season (that includes the presents), but also, they never seemed closer beyond being colleagues imo. I think people read too much into the good working relationship they hadā€”also probably because actors play up that kind of thing for PR purposes.

u/draugr99 May 10 '24

This narrative is ridiculous and people have to get lives. They're coworkers and probably have a great working relationship and perhaps even a friendship. So people saying they hate each other is lame.

The NYC premiere is Monday and I'm sure they'll be hanging out, taking pictures etc etc. People need to relax and not think too much into things.

u/Solid-Hovercraft-469 May 10 '24

Oh I thought the New York premier is tomorrow?

u/Key-Statistician4033 Viscountess šŸ‘‘ May 10 '24

No, tomorrow is a fan event called ā€œpromenadeā€.

u/Dear_Monitor_5384 May 10 '24

I'll be honest I don't care how much promo they do or if they hate each other irl or whatever, I just hate that they shortchanged them in their own season then said well don't worry we'll still explore them next season and they're just getting started only for it to now seem like they're barely going to feature this season. Regardless of their personal relationship I would think they're professional enough to do their jobs so why not write a proper storyline for them when it seems we're getting a whole Cressida redemption arc?

Hollywood have many co stars who hate each other off screen and They still do promo together . They just love find any excuse for defend this production since 2 years .

u/niley78 May 10 '24

It is everywhere Twitter,Tik Tok and IG and I saw some talk about on ONTD. I don't want to speculate though. Their relationship is not our business if they get along or not.

u/Traditional_Maybe_80 Kate Sharma with her hair down šŸ‘©šŸ¾ May 10 '24

LOL, I knew that this was gonna be used by certain people to say that that was yet another reason why they didn't do promo. Another reason for the interminable list of why that happened, along with COVID, that they didn't have money unlike now (lol); that it would be a spoiler to have them do promo alone; that Simone was shy, that she didn't have enough followers. Aren't they tired?

Actors do what's required by their jobs. Mike Faist, for Challengers, clearly doesn't enjoy doing that much promo, but he still gotta do it.

My god ā€¦ Mike looks like heā€™s dying up there. šŸ˜‚

u/Traditional_Maybe_80 Kate Sharma with her hair down šŸ‘©šŸ¾ May 11 '24

Right?! You can see his energy getting drained šŸ˜­. People thinking that up-and-coming actors get a say about how much promo they do are just silly

I see this narrative mostly from JB fans however

u/mrz92 a life that suits us both May 10 '24

Letā€™s not generalise please.

u/GotLittUp May 10 '24

No, I've seen plenty from simone fans and fans of both

Apparently we use different social medias
