I think people are reading too much into an opinion piece article that has a quote from a "technical crew member" that directly references a "orange-hued" character. If you don't think that isn't a direct reference trying to be made by that crew member, then I'm not sure what to tell you.No one, not even the "technical crew member" said that there were direct references to anyone. That would be an absolutely silly thing to do as a corporation trying to make mass entertainment in America in the 2020s. If there's enough inspiration present so that the creative DNA of that character is pretty obvious, though? That is not people "reading too much into things." That is an audience reading a story correctly. It's almost as if you don't think authorial intent is a thing.
