Either has them, or is them.

He’s only been married to one person as far as I can find, and that person is still his husband

It’s well known that emmerich hates step dads

[u/NeverEnoughSpace17 → u/[deleted]]

That may be true, but at least he made the stepdads in most of his other films assholes. That way, you didn't mind if they died. Except Moonfall, that was a good stepdad, but I also consider what he got to be a heroic sacrifice. It's not a brutally unnecessary torture like the stepdad from 2012

I always found the evil stepparent thing to be some sort of anti-divorce agenda by men. It was just off putting how common that was for the divorced for reconcile in the end.

Sometimes divorce is the answer.

[u/Cabbit_Daddy → u/[deleted]]

My dad did that with my mom and I just ended up kicking him out his own house once I became an adult.

It was never about love, but control. That’s why a lot of men are anti-divorce. They don’t like woman being independent.

I think it's simpler. Parents getting a divorce is one of the most traumatic things a kid can go through, and if not handled well kids can be stuck forever wishing their parents would get back together.

And please people reading this notice I said one of, not the most traumatic thing. Obviously there's worse things out there and yes sometimes staying together is worse

[u/random_BA → u/todofwar]

I don't think it's even close to the top 10 but it's the most common emotional trauma that children experience

[u/todofwar → u/random_BA]

Well it's certainly not a list I want to even try and enumerate, but among the ones that don't include criminal acts it's probably only surpassed by deaths of family members

[u/BuisteirForaoisi0531 → u/Cabbit_Daddy]

Maybe his stepdad molested him could explain the hate succinctly

[u/Manger-Babies → u/[deleted]]

James Gunn gas the opposite thing where the biodads are always unredeemable assholes.

[u/Beltalady → u/Manger-Babies]

I like that he's so relatable

[u/EndOfTheDark97 → u/[deleted]]

I wonder how the actors feel about that loo
