When you think of an intense fandom, your mind might jump to Game of Thrones, Star Wars, Harry Potter [1], or even Grey's Anatomy [2], but never underestimate the passion of Louisa May Alcott fans. After the news of a new Little Women movie adaptation [3] — reportedly directed by Greta Gerwig and starring Saoirse Ronan, Emma Stone [4], Meryl Streep [5], and Timothée Chalamet [6] — hit the press, it became clear that people have LOTS to say about the classic book-turned-several-films.

Fans on both sides of the fence have some pretty hilarious responses to the movie news and casting rumours, so grab a bucket of popcorn and enjoy the drama.
