Remember the Supergirl "writer" who said that it didn't matter if you
wrote a good script as long as you put in lots of woke messages? This
is that script.

I thought that was a rarity. Then yesterday I was watching a Youtube
video about yet another person who cut by Disney who is suing the
company because she lost out on millions of dollars because they
cancelled the show she was supposed to run and cut some other projects
she was supposed to be involved with. She couldn't accept that the
Acolyte didn't have a good reaction with the fans and so Disney made
the decision to save money by cutting the project. They also cut back
on the other projects they had planned to have her involved in because
she wasn't seen as the money maker they thought she would be.
Partially because she was focused on DEI over story.

But what about the show runners who started with good scripts but got
notes from studio executives ordering them to ruin the scripts with
social justice messaging? In that case, not being able to find an
audience isn't the show runner's fault.

 
Oh, I agree about that. That's long been a case and certainly we see
from the CEO on down that Disney is pushing DEI on everyone. It's
clearly being forced to be added even if it makes no sense from a
story perspective. Hell, it's apparently what convinced Jenna Ortega
to not get involved with Disney. She apparently was set to be in the
next Pirates of Caribbean movie and very much wanted to be in the MCU
but when Disney kept talking about DEI and how it needed to be
involved in these movies over talking about the scripts and having a
good story, she bowed out.

I like that girl more and more every time I hear something new about her.

(She would be fantastic in a PIRATES movie, FYI.)
