#just something ive noticed that can be a little annoying in large quantities

Literally the only thing I've seen people say when they are adament the 1969 version of True Grit is better is "John Wayne John Wayne John Wayne" which like,,, yeah we get it, John Wayne is awesome but have you considered the actual movie?

Like, the 2010 version is way more true to the book, which, while creative liberty is definitely okay, the book is the original, and therefore how the story is supposed to be.

In adition, I feel like some people don't realize how empowing the 2010 version is for girls. Like, 2010 Mattie Ross made 13 year old me feel like i could actually be a badass, because she was a badass. 1969 Mattie... not so much (no hate to the actress, i think its just because of the times)

You can love the 1969 version, and you can also dislike the 2010 version. But if you're going to say the 2010 version was an abomination, at least have more reasons than just "jOhN wAyNe"
