True.
Yeah, the issue with Pablo, is he's a bit of an idiot. The fandom can suck, but in this conversation, he is showing himself to be similar to the worst parts of the fandom, which is ****ing disgusting imo.
Most certainly. Which is why people make fun of him. This however, is not funny and if he ended up frozen in carbonite, I wouldn't be sad about it.
As a leftist social justice Jedi, I'd celebrate like an Ewok on death sticks if he lost his job. The "issues" with Kennedy have little to do with how she actually runs the company or her own personal conduct. It's because she's a woman. Pablo though? Fundamentally different imo.
Oh boy, here we go.
For one thing, I'm not going to advocate for Hidalgo to get fired or lose his job over this. I think we have enough of that in today's society. That said, he should know better by now, even if you set your account to private, other people can still find those tweets.
I know there are probably a lot of alt-right Fandom Menace schmucks out there who would celebrate Hidalgo getting fired over this. But it would be amusing if his successor was someone who was even more against their delicate sensibilities.
It's sort of like if Kathleen Kennedy stepped down. OK, you're happy she's gone, but then who is going to replace her, and is that person going to do the job you want them to do?
I would just say Hidalgo takes a breath looks over all this and takes it as a teachable moment. I'm not even saying apologize but just you know recognize that not all criticism is TOXIC criticism.
He isn't getting fired, but I do love your attitude towards watching it play out, Vile.Fair enough, I'm not going to take sides. But I am going to sit back and watch this whole dren storm play out. Tricia Barr did just turn it into an official dren storm.
Have at it fandom. Place your bets.
Yeah, I never expected Boba to just come back. I think I said this in another thread, but the Boba thing is clearly one of those situations that simmers for a few episodes, before he pops back up for a "big episode". Honestly, I wouldn't be suprised if we didn't seem him until the last two episodes.
It rarely ever does. I feel like there's this constant desire to frame any and all criticism, even something as mild as "this joke isn't very funny and is completely at odds with your attempts to build empathy for the frog lady" as some kind of bigoted attack from far right sources. Even someone saying they felt it reflected not having enough women in the room is then framed as some kind of weird attack on women angle. I feel like there's a lot of throwing up false targets to obfuscate the point instead of, you know... just conceding the joke wasn't very funny.
By the way Vile, I am now imagining your avatar sitting with popcorn and a bunch of beers watching the Mando tonight, and I can't unsee it.
I think a lot of this can be traced back to the fact that this episode was directed by Peyton Reed. It definitely felt like him. A guy who makes movies I like quite a bit at first, but I find to have rather diminishing returns on re-watch.
I've got my fingers really crossed on tonight's episode. Given I'm not looking forward to episodes 4 and 5, it'd be a real downer if episodes 2-5 ended up being a bit of a wash for me personally.
