As someone who’s not a fan of Gadot and her portrayal of Diana, losing Jenkins but still possibly having her continue in the role sounds… not good. And WW84 had some flaws but it sometimes shocks me how much vitriol gets thrown at Jenkins. I still think it was a good story, just that some aspects of the movie needed more work. I truly, sincerely hope she gets to continue making the films she likes and this doesn’t totally derail her career.
Unfortunately it's not really shocking or surprising to meI'm no Patty defender, but it is shocking to me that so many in the DC fandom that I follow on social media have completely turned on her because she made one movie they didn't like. They are saying some crazy things.
She's not a straight white guy and that always adds more fuel to the fire for some idiots
Then she, along with Nolan, was very outspoken about WB's 2020 move to shift the theatrical releases to HBO Max. For some reason a lot of people thought by speaking out against that they were being elitist, making it seem like their problems are bigger than others, or downplaying COVID...even tho their employer went back on their word and wasn't honoring contracts which is scumbagger-y 101
Most importantly and the biggest thing: no matter the race, sex, etc. people turn on artists very easily. "Fans" are very fickle. I can think of a few examples where a certain artist makes 1 bad movie, album or whatever and then a lot of people turn on them and treat them like they never made anything good and it a lot of cases treat them like straight dirt with insults. Saw it happen with Rian Johnson, Jon Faverau a bit post Iron Man 2 and Cowboys & Aliens, Christian Bale post Terminator Salvation (even from people who didn't care about the rant) and before The Fighter. It's not a new thing, but it for sure has been getting worse. And that's just filmmakers. With musicians it's even worse. You're only as good as your last good performance in many people's eyes.
With athletes it happens too. They'll have a streak of 5 good games but then have 1 bad game, not even in an elimination or important game, and then people will be screaming at the player to be benched or traded.
I read someone put it like this once: someone will go to a restaurant 4 times and enjoy it and not write a good review. But then they'll have one bad experience and write a scathing review.
It's just people's nature now unfortunately. "What have you done for me lately"
