The better question would be what is NOT a bad take I've read/heard.

I think it will always be that one line in Guardian that said Sam Claflin's performance was dull and it was hard to believe he was the big rock star. Bc while there are many, many bad takes here on Tumblr, most of these are from kids who have no idea what a relationship even entails, they think two characters looking at each other and kemmystri means they are soulmates or whatever (when Sam jointed tiktok he made a video with Riley standing next to him where she said, welcome to tiktok and Sam said "toktik" and that was it, a user here giffed it and someone rb the gifs tagging with "spouse goals", that says everything), DJATS has, for some reason, acquired a very young fanbase and gen z is developmentally behind already bc of the pandemic, not their fault but so it is, so takes like "Camila and Billy divorce!" and "Eddie has the biggest 90s stepdad energy" are maddening, but understandable considering the circumstances. Forgive them for they do not know what they do, etc. It was worse seeing shit from official channels. But that review from Guardian really HURT. And mind you, this was after he received his Golden Globe nomination. I admit I've not felt the same about the paper, event though I still use it as my source for news, bc I don't know where else to go. So yeah, that would be it.

Daisy Jones and The Six fans, worst take you've read/heard?

Mine is: Eddie would be a good dad to Julia.

#sam claflin #samblogging #daisy jones and the six #actually guardian has not much to say about sam. they did one photoshoot/interview with him in 2015 but that's it #some positivity from the film reviews (they were very complimentary re my cousin rachel. there's several articles on it)#but that's it and they had nothing good to say about him on djats #while the conservative daily telegraph and even daily fucking mail have published very positive articles about sam #i posted screenshots from the telegraph piece and it got like 100 notes #which is unusual for me bc i don't get that many notes on anything i post on sam (unless i blaze it)#it was one of those interviews he did around djats time where he opened up. it's a really good one you should read it #earlier this year daily mail published pics from the filming of lazarus and the article was so nice about him #funnily enough after the us election outcome i've been thinking a lot about how the left has alienated normal people hence trump's victory'#obvs this is not political but it's interesting #bc sam is from normal background. even working class as he said #he got to where he is by sheer hard work and talent #and yet here a leftist paper is putting nepotistic riley on the pedestal and knocking him down #i'm not saying they shouldn't have praised her. if you think she's that great then say it i'm not stopping you #but why knock down sam?#if there were issues with the show maybe it was the script. have you thought of that?#the pacing #don't blame the actors #i mean i was quite surprised when i saw how many episodes it had #originally there were supposed to be 13 and that is really. really too many for such a simple straightforward story #i mean look the upcoming the count of monte cristo with 8 eps #the book is 1200 long with so many characters you have to keep notes #so for djats to stretch it to 10 eps and then still only focus on daisy and billy ofc it was boring #anyway i shut up now have rambled enough
