Mara Wilson almost deserves a thread on her own
Nah.
There's not that much funny to be milked outside of a few points.
She's a typical D-Lister has-been who still exploit their one memorable role 25 years later and counting to grift money and/or attention from the internet. Dime a dozen.
She's not truly fucked up like most child stars, but she's definitely one of the most pathetic.
I'd argue she's more fucked up than most child stars. Other child stars can blame booze and sexual assault on their demons.
Mara has that insufferable
holier-than-thou Hollywood attitude without any trauma required.
Her fanbase is even worse; projecting the character of Matilda onto her and deluding themselves that Mara is as generous, loving, and independent as Matilda, meanwhile Mara can't even get along with her Jew cousin Ben Shapiro and actively berates him in the most un-Matilda-like ways then pretends she's a paragon of virtue.
She's got sociopathic tendencies and no excuse for it unlike other child actors.
Macaulay Culkin may be a junkie and an asshole, but at least he has the scars to explain why and actually does worthwhile charity. Mara's all talk and no go.
now she's a raging bisexual because that's what the crowd demanded.
"""""""raging""""""" """bi""", because hell if anyone's actually seen her go further than first base with other girls, which is college basic bitch shit.
There's a reason Lindsay Ellis called her out on it.
but she's absolutely one of those people who can't make a relationship work due to her narcissism rather than any flaw these men might have.
Imagine dunking on Lindsay Lohan 10 years ago and being headed down the same path as her regardless of being the sobercuck.
Lindsay at least had fun on her road to loneliness and despair and was an A-lister living the autist dream at one point, Mara has nothing to show for it.
she's world famous, but almost no one cares about her anymore.
Because she had 1 (2 if you count Mrs Doubtfire) good role in a movie that gets a lot of syndication worldwide.
Even kids in rainforests who only have access to basic over-the-air TV saw Matilda.
She peaked in grade school.
