Jaden Smith’s failure of a career is not his fault. His dad insisted that he could make him a movie star despite no indication that he wanted to be. Audiences don’t like it when you shove an actor down their throats, demanding that you like them

[@KrisBryant99]

THIS right here! And that's why so many movies are bad today because Hollywood expects ANYONE to just be a mirror image of us!!! Personally I dont hate Jaden Smith and love what he stands for the most part but he is someone I would need to see more of in order to decide if I fully like him.

Imo the fact that Will’s oldest son (Trey) turn out to be mostly unproblematic without being a laughing stock on the internet and a meme/jokes material…lives his life quietly and normally ( probably most of the time ) speaks volume .

[@theoutsiderjess1869]

Its because Will just gave him everything and then put him into situations he shouldn't be in for his age. Jaden was treated like an adult instead of being a child and it shows in how he behaves he doesn't know how people his own age thinks or what non famous people think it's kinda sad.

Our parents were right, certain people will only tolerate you when you’re considered “one of the good ones.” Seems like everyone in these comments are calling out Will for being narcissistic when his whole plan was for JADEN to strive not himself. Did it backfire? Sure. But people didn’t make these comments on the Chet Hanks video… somehow Tom got off free for his terrible parenting. It should also be noted that Will had a terrible childhood growing up. His father was very abusive and tormented their family throughout his childhood. Makes sense why he invested so much into his children. I think Lebron has a similar issue with his kids. Trying too hard to create a connection because of a lack of one growing up.

(Everyone was laughing, and my lecturer gave me extra marks for adding the personal story that helped drive home the pointthat girls don't typically feel mentally or physically comfortable to exercise while on their period). Embrace your most embarrassing moments and gleefully cackle about them while telling your friends.

Are his tweets cringe? Yeah. But he was 14. We were ALL cringe at 14. The difference is, he was raised to believe he was ****super special x1000**** whereas most of us were insecure at that age, AND he was making his cringe 14 year old thoughts publicly, with a large audience (whereas most of us maybe have a handful of friends).

[@davidfairweather3301]

Yeh the After Earth movie was so fucking bad. But it was all Wills fault. It was his idea initially, and his idea to make Jaden the star, and I’m guessing without his permission. All the promo involved Will overcompensating and showing what a good dad he was and how good his relationship with Jaden was, but at the same time throwing Jaden into the spotlight and open to global criticism and humiliation. Making Jaden do an accent in the movie is one thing, but making him do an accent that was complexity made up and inconsistent was destined for failure, and was one of many factors that made his performance awkward af. After the failure of After Earth, he went on a press tour about how disappointing it was, and how embarrassing it felt because he didn’t go number one at the box office. He didn’t take blame for what happened until years later. I’m not surprised Jaden was done with him after that. He was probably told all the way through how amazing he did, and how this movie would make him a global superstar.

Not only was it trash but the budget for the movie was incredibly high. If you have an extremely good budget for a movie, and have an actor like Will smith in a leading role, then it’s open to criticism. I don’t get why people just paint any criticism as “hate”. Shall we only say nice things about everyone and everything so nobody can ever be offended? You can make anyone jump on your side by characterising it as undeserved hate, rather than valid criticism.

I’ve always had a soft spot for Jayden. He was a kid a lot like me. Lots of big thoughts that to us are mind blowing and shape who we are, but people who don’t share that same kind of thought process find it pretentious, obnoxious, and just downright immature. Although I can relate in some ways, thankfully, I didn’t have the monumental expectations of A-list parents and the world reading my 14 year old random thoughts about human consciousness. One last thought, him saying things like “Willow and I are scientists…” he’s literally just parroting his dad, his dad has said the same thing, and in an unconventional household like he seemed to be raised in, “being a scientist” is a things they’re told to do. Make hypotheses, conduct research, find conclusions etc. he was raised with this kind of speech so it’s natural for him, but to the typical American household, this seems odd. Idk I just see a kid, trying to find his way, with big thoughts and ideas, and being treated like an adult too soon.

[@carlcoetzee5678]

I really love this take on Jaden Smith. He's been clowned by the internet for as long as I can remember but you put it into the lens of a child discovering their own individuality in the dead center of the public eye and suddenly it all tracks perfectly. God, I can see myself doing the same exact shit, if not worse, if I was given that kind of platform and influence at that age. Matter of fact, this video makes it almost seem impressive how Jaden turned out given how hard Will was inadvertently trying to give him the biggest child-star ego in the stratosphere. Seemed like After Earth made him realize he needed to break away from his father, obviously that would be difficult to impossible given his father is so influential to him (and also his biggest potential sponsor) but it seems like he really tried to embrace his own path.

Yes, he rose to fame because of his father, but he is not exactly a failure even after he broke away from his parents. he is just finding his own way just like any other kid who sometimes makes mistakes and tries to succeed in his endeavors. You do have to admit that he achieved more than the average kid his age.

[@ashblossomandjoyoussprung.9917]

Sure, but, every one of his accomplishments came from throwing Will's money at stuff, and saying "I'm Will Smith's son." He never built anything on his own merits. He never really succeeded, which makes the times he failed even more of a knock against him because he doesn't have successes of his own to back up his credibility.

[@pinoytunes7707]

​@@ashblossomandjoyoussprung.9917 uhm well he has his own fans as a rapper. Yes he might have the network because he is Will Smith's son, but so are a bunch of other sons of Hollywood actors but not all of them became famous. You still need the charisma of an entertainer. Besides, he still keeps Just Water in business, which says a lot. Many other sons of businessmen would have daddy's money as capital and network but fail within 3 years. Honestly I don't like him. But how he maintained to be rich despite already living on his own says a lot.

I remember the 'white Batman' costume. At the time, some claimed that Jaden had outsmarted everyone, that his costume wasn't meant to be Batman at all, but instead was an obscure Mark Millar villain called Nemesis. I read the Nemesis comic, and the character was meant to be a cross between the chaotic psychosis of the Joker with the brilliant, strategic mind of Batman. Nemesis wore a completely white costume that looked similar to Batman's, but Nemesis was both the villain and main character of his own comic. I said at that the time that I didn't believe Jaden Smith had read or even heard of Nemesis, and that he just thought he was being edgy and deep wearing a white Batman costume. Now that I can get a better look at Jaden's getup, I can say it is indeed just a white Batman suit, down to the bat symbol on the chest. I respect Jaden's stewardship of the environment, but he is no philosopher.

I'm 10 minutes in and there's still absolutely no reason to hate Jaiden. These moments are barely cringe, just a kid trying to be an adult. Its more weird to judge him for that.

[@KuulSHep]

Jayden wasn't around just adults, he was around rich and snobby adults who think their farts don't stink. I grew up around adults too but I still stayed within a kid's place. All my gen talked about was cartoons, tv shows, videogames, and sports. But yeah, I knew Will Smith set his son up for failure once he took him away from Jackie Chan after doing that Karate Kid remake which could've been Jayden's thing but the Fresh Prince don't like when his kids shine brighter than him or have potential to. I used to dislike Will for not being in charge of his family now I dislike him for being a horrible person in general so it isn't just his wife.

[@KuulSHep]

@@athena6832 The original Karate Kid movies are better, yes, and the remake was competent I'll admit. But I believe that Jayden could've had a thing going if he actually stayed with Jackie Chan cause even he said he didn't wanna take Jayden Smith on during that film because he thought Jayden wouldn't commit being Will Smith's son and all but to Chan's surprise, he did. That's what I'm saying, Will is such a terrible father, he took his son away from a good thing and placed him under his shadow. I really think Chan was tryna train Jayden up to be his successor in martial art movies and in general. A whole market that hasn't been explored since the 1980s that would've opened doors to other black and brown practitioners and people who're passionate about it now won't get to see it in Hollywood ever again because of one bad, selfish decision along with pearl clutchers quick to cry cultural appropriation.

Jaden is a real one for doing all that charity, and I had no idea about it until now so he's probably not just doing it for the likes or whatever. I also really respect him staying true to who he is in the way he expresses himself through fashion. I mean yeah he can be cringey sometimes but who isn't when they're young? He has some growing up to do but that's really indicative of any younger person and I actually think Jaden has a lot of potential~

[@Parcha64]

He's a good natured, thoughtful guy. He just doesn't know a lot because Will and Jada don't know a lot. That's what was really sad about his childhood. No one gets along with the home school kid. I knew a pair of twins that enterd public school for the first time in high school. They had a similarly narrow view of things and were not very patient with other students in terms of academic ability or differing interests. They got frustrated pretty easily when kids got rowdy and humor was like a foreign language to them. I'm not making the case for public school, but parents really gotta try to expose their kids to real humans once in a while!

[@aslprincess3944]

i was homeschooled until college. It's true that other kids don't socialize with us mostly because they think we're weird. I've had countless people tell me that to my face who didn't actually know anything about me. i did get frustrated with kids who goofed off while i was trying to learn, and i did not think the potty or pop culture based humor of my peers was funny, and i still don't! I find common humor to be very juvenile. Homeschoolers are usually raised on classics, and have a sense of humor more based on older comedians, comedy movies and books that people don't read anymore. So it's not that we have no sense of humor, it's that we don't think the kind of humor kids get out of cartoons is funny, and I don't really see a problem with that. We get made fun of for having different interests and different hobbies and different opinions that are not all manufactured in a school setting, but are based off our parents, our own studies, and the other adults we know. Not that we don't know pop culture, and we do enjoy parts of it, but it's not our main influence, and why should it be/ it changes every year anyway. anyway, sorry if i sound defensive, but it's very frustrating to see people constantly blame homeschooling for making kids maladjusted. The kids coming out of public school have way more mental health issues and spend way more time doing virtual activities on average than homeschoolers do. And are usually less successful in all areas except pop culture. it does make us slaty to be the butt of people's jokes when we usually do perfectly well. There are some weirdos out there, but there are just as many weirdos in public school and private school, it's not like the method of education is really waht makes people have "normal" families. whatever normal means.

[@Parcha64]

@@aslprincess3944 listen I didn't blame all homeschool kids for being weird. I said things are challenging for a number of reasons (for which I am very sympathetic). You were the one who made all kinds of judgements on what public school kids do which is exactly my argument. You don't have to like anything other kids like, but you have to learn to live with different lifestyles. I mentioned my experience with some kids who really struggled to accept the differences in others. That's a problem and seeing peers is an important part of social development. I'm sure there are plenty of great experiences you had in homeschool. I respect people who do it. I just mentioned a very real issue that arises and parents like the Smiths should have taken steps to expose their young childeren to healthy peer situations, especially outside of Hollywood.

[@AbsentMinded619]

What a delusional thing to say. The average homeschool kid is much more well-adjusted socially, in addition to performing better academically. The Smiths are New-Age, “non-traditional” Hollywood weirdos in every respect, including their “open” view of relationships. Growing up with them is about as different from normal homeschool as living in space.

Whether or not he was born into fame and money, what he’s doing with it ever since is what really matters. I honestly don’t care about his amateur philosophical musings when he’s clearly not a bad kid.

[@zabe428]

His intentions are to think outside the box, while still he’s learning what that box contains. And he means no harm to anyone, he is a very sweet kid, and we working class who aren’t as privileged as him can make fun all we want, but he’s still just a sweet kid who’s doing his best.

[@TheRepublicOfUngeria]

The problem isn't the fact that little kids are fucking stupid, it's when your childhood stupidity is revered as if it is the opposite: it severely limits your opportunity to learn when you are wrong and why. Whether you want to be or not, you are kept in perpetual ignorance about how much you actually know, because everyone keeps validating you whether you are right about something or not.

[@millennialodyssey5956]

I think Jaden will be okay if he gets out of Hollywood for a while but continues to create like Kayne or Dave Chappelle did. What people seem to forget is that place eats its own. Anytime an individual shows great talent and has the ability and money like he does and he can't be controlled the first thing you will notice is supposed public hate but in reality it's propaganda to try to influence the public to hate the person and abandon support for them. Remember they did not want Will and Jaden to start in the first movie together. And despite their best efforts the movie was very successful. That embarrassed them. They wanted to make sure his next one wouldn't repeat the same success. Because if you ignore all the things said about after Earth it's actually not a bad film at all. It's one of my favorites.

[@ItzMob]

I thought the same thing! Jaden Smith was cringey on twitter and he was in a shitty movie; that doesn’t mean he’s a bad person!

I can kinda relate to the first clip. I grew up as the oldest of my siblings and I was always around adults in the family. I ended up more mature than most people my age, because of that, being used as a babysitter for my siblings, and abuses I suffered that took any innocence I had and made me have to grow up faster. I didn't have a childhood at all, which stunted me more as an adult, I had no idea who I really was for most of my 20s.

[@rustyhowe3907]

Yeah I grew up well away from this kid's wealth but definitely in the same kind of isolation. I have never been able to form relationships and only just started to miss friends when they were away on holiday when I'm now 38, I thought it was normal and questioned why I felt hollow until someone explained to me what I was going through. I also noted the kid's eyes look so sad when he's pictured with his father no matter how loud and bright his father looks playing up to the camera.

[@JacobPears]

Their relationship woes and family dynamic has really shined a light on how out of touch / delusional the Smith family has become. It's wild they couldn't see how they were condemning their children to being perpetually critiqued. We live in an economy founded on competition / merit (although hardly ends up this way, but still its the optics). They openly gave their kids all the opportunities while not teaching them how to accept them graciously. So naturally we all despise this as we're fighting tooth and nail to survive out here. Not saying it's right, just that the parents set them up badly..
