Hard truth…
I can speak freely because I’m 65 years old and my pocketful of fucks is seriously depleted.
Working as a paralegal at various studios in LA for thirty years…I had the opportunity to observe studio executives closely.
They’re generally a slippery and clueless bunch who shouldn’t be allowed near anything remotely creative…but the new regime at Paramount is straight up evil.
I assure you.
These soulless bastards have nothing but contempt for a show about grace and redemption and the struggle against fascism.
ATLA is a mystery to them.
They. Do. Not. Value. The. Franchise.
I know it’s become pretty cliche and cringey to talk about at this point but if you’re under like 25 I cannot stress enough how one time Obama wore a tan suit and people spent a week arguing over whether or not it was demeaning to the Oval Office and they were serious about it.
(Austin Powers game tutorial level)
Austin: Wait a tick. When’s the last time I opened my shag bag?
Basil: Good thinking, Austin! Why not press ⭕️ and check your inventory?
Austin: I do pride myself in pressing the right buttons, don’t I? YEAH, BABY.
In just six years this country has managed to fall into astonishing moral disarray. You have a main political party just openly celebrating a murderer simply because he killed a black person. Fuckkking awful times we’re living in man.
