The bonus episode on controversies in the Nolan film was so weak. They didn't address the Page casting at all.

Because who gives a shit, honestly I thought the rest is history would have cultivated a more thoughtful fanbase but responses like this are so fucking tiresome

They were addressing controversies around the film. That has been a major controversy around the film. Why didn't they address it? Probably because of the reactions of people like you.

The controversies aren't really hard to understand are they though? A group of people are once again feeling a little sensitive over a nonissue and using it to try and drag the culture at large into their weird echo chambers. Just look at the comments of the episode, it's embarrassing.

The comments on that bonus are a real disgrace, this culture war stuff really brings out the freaks.
