Tyler Hoechlin Had So Much Influence Over This Movie - Tumblr Posts

"As a person who hasn't watched this piece of media, let me give you a 10 page essay on why this film sucks ass."

Scott should have been the one to sacrifice himself!

God... Reddit is the gift that keeps on giving.

I cropped it because this person rambled.

So, right from the word go, this person admits that they both never watched the movie AND that they dislike Scott. Why would anyone think they have ulterior motives for saying that Derek should have lived instead of Scott? They're totally not racist, just ask them.

In all honesty, this isn't even remotely surprising at this point. We all know that there is a significant portion of the fandom dedicated to hating Scott McCall for just existing, but in the same breath, it is a little tiresome. This person is upset that Derek died (fair) and that Eli went to Scott "like a prize" despite them barely knowing each other. But by that same logic, why would Scott give up his life for someone he barely knows instead of the boy's actual father?

The elephant in the room obviously being that Scott did try to sacrifice himself until Derek moved him out of the way. But, of course, that was in the movie, and this person admits from the very first sentence that they didn't watch the movie.

What I find the most amusing about this whole experience (the aftermath of the movie) is that Derek's death was probably Tyler Hoechlin's idea, so he wouldn't have to reprise the character anymore.
