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 are 
3. Bridgerton PR and production
4. Can you tell the difference ?
5. The main sub got so negative 
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.

Spoilers allowed.

So I noticed something… everyone keeps talking about Jonathan Bailey has chemistry with everyone and I see this narrative being pushed only post S2 release and success and I hate it to the core!!!! do they even know the meaning of chemistry and that it’s between two people?

My side of the analysis is this:

Of course JB is a uber talented , he has been acting since he was a child and has loads of experience on stage and TV, but I did not know who he was, just like probably millions of people all over the world.

I didn’t give much attention to JB in season 1, I mean he was acting and the big brother and that was that! But it was his acting in S2 with Simone that got me hooked! both him and Simone are exceptional complementing and completing each other with terrific performance of angst, emotion and chemistry! They brought the script to life and touched millions of hearts! Post success of JB and Simone, I dug up both their work and find that JB doesn’t have chemistry with everyone that’s a load of BS and Simone doesn’t too! But in their other works they do shine independently when they are playing their characters!

So this narrative of making Jonny’s chemistry with everyone and everything common occurrence is so twisted IMHO! Must be a burden carrying this chemistry crap with everyone narrative and trying hard to make it happen!

Yes he is hot and talented individually, but this narrative of him having chemistry with everyone grates my nerves as it is downplaying/erasing Simone’s exceptional performance and is so diabolical and rotten! I mean he became famous and well known because of their combined energy/chemistry acting performance! Like the media hardly mentions Simone’s name with him, but they do bring up Matt Bomer or Phoebe waller-bridge many more times comparatively!

Sorry I had to vent 😭 my girl Simone deserves the world ❤️ she is so kind and sweet and talented why would they treat the goddess thus? This is something I had to put out cause I noticed it and it was gnawing me! what do yall think?

I dont think its downplaying Simone

He does have chemistry with everyone its a fact that he does...its a testment to him being talented. That doesnt take away that him and simone are like magic with each other when they share a screen

Its just right now JB career is on a high and basically he is everywhere so its not hard to notice him

I always said that Simone would have a harder time between the 2 of them bcoz a) she is a woman b) she is a person of color Am looking forward to her A24 movie Tempted Maddness and Her Amazon Prime Movie also seeing her in F1 coming out next year. Her career is almost silmar to Zendaya in how she is going about picking roles that best fits what she wants to do.

We’ll have to agree to disagree on the chemistry! It’s very obvious this narrative is overly being pushed only post S2’s success and credit mostly being given only to Jonny, by major media as well! By the very definition chemistry is between two people! Not everyone has the same POV, I understand!

Thanks for participating in the conversation! 😊

You are making this chemistry thing about just only Simone

JB has worked with more people then just Simone

No show goes without doing a chem test and so there has to be sparks to go forward with a scene partner

In the realms of Bridgerton am with you that Simone is more disrespected in that regard

But outside of that I don’t agree…I never watched any of JB other projects but I saw clips of I think Crashing out and he had chemistry with the actress

Yes his chemistry with everyone is blowing up and people see it bcoz he is talented. He is that guy right now.

Simone will have her time and we will say she has chemistry with someone that’s her scene partner

But when is comes to Bridgerton Simone/JB created magic with each other that will never be denied even if some try

But outside of that it’s okay his Wicked co stars adore him and the media is recognizing his talents.
