@CorpoScum@Pirat_Nation While he is a PoS, he actually turned Activision's stock around by a large margin. Activision was nearly bankrupt before he took over and he turned it around and left when the stock was at its near historic high. That's what shareholders want.
The head writer and showrunner of “She-Hulk” was Jessica Gao. She was best known for being the credited writer on the “Pickle Rick” episode of “Rick and Morty.”
During the production of that episode, “Rick and Morty” showrunner Dan Harmon cast Susan Sarandon as the family’s therapist, a character Gao had named Dr. Wong in the script. Gao crashed out over the casting of a white actor for this part. In 2018 this was a major transgression and as an act of contrition, Harmon did a podcast with Gao called “Whiting Wongs,” which is 40 hours of him apologizing and learning about racism.
The writer credit on the Pickle Rick episode and this podcast raised Gao’s profile enough for her to land the showrunner gig on Marvel’s Disney+ “She-Hulk” show, but the production was extremely troubled. In addition to not staffing lawyers or legal-drama writers on the show who could deliver on the “Ally McBeal in the MCU” pitch, the “She-Hulk” show required — as described by Gao in interviews — an extraordinary level of direct personal involvement and micromanagement from Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige.
Gao described her relationship with Feige as supportive and collaborative, but she also describes him routinely intervening to reshape the show in the wake of catastrophic test audiences responses.
In the finale episode, She-Hulk breaks the fourth wall of her show, climbs through the Disney+ UI and confronts a robot named K.E.V.I.N. that has been controlling her life. Feige allowed this, but Gao wanted to put a baseball cap on the robot like the one Feige wears, and that was a bridge too far for him. According to an interview Gao gave The Hollywood Reporter, she threatened to resign if the robot could not wear the hat, and Feige immediately accepted her resignation. A visual designer managed to mediate the dispute by incorporating a “hat-like element” into the robot’s design.
The show was cancelled after the first season, the cast has been released, none of its events have been referenced in any other Marvel productions and “She-Hulk” star Tatiana Maslany is not in “Avengers: Doomsday.” Jessica Gao has no IMDB credits since “She-Hulk” was cancelled in 2022.
@NYMag You’ll do this “it’s not communism” routine until the DSA folks make their communism undeniable, then you’ll switch to “sure it’s communism but that’s good”
We’ve seen this song and dance about 8,000 times before.
These morons went into a UPS store and harassed minimum wage employees and they really think they did something. I cannot emphasize enough how much the far left actually disrespects the working class.
@alamnavsa@ScottJenningsKY No, it's about the rank hypocrisy for requiring ID for a grocery store but refusing to sign on to the same for voting. There is also some hypocrisy here where it's only for New Yorkers, refusing people from New Jersey, but want infinity illegals. Try to keep up.
@TheNarrator000@GeorgeSelgin@Tarnational@mtaibbi You know how I know you're a communist? It's not your bio which blatantly states it, it's that you make up deranged scenarios in your head, demand they be true, and lash out like a child in every direction when contradicted. You're the problem, not everyone else.
This sent a genuine chill through me.
It’s been far too long since anyone channelled the unflinching spirit of Christopher Hitchens - his moral clarity, his refusal to flinch in defence of the West, and his readiness to articulate the irreconcilable aspects of Islamic culture.
