TWDC will do what it will do.
Woah...woah...easy there on that "W" word. I was told it is a triggering word that is not allowed to be used on this forum. Mods...I did not say it. It was not me.
FIFY
Correct, she wasn't denying it. But she wasn't really doing what you're saying either. Her comments were ill advised either way and it was a bad comparison to make. But the problem is a lot of people on both sides want to overstate the person on the opposite side and underplay the person on their side. BOTH should have just kept it to themselves, they're both wrong.
A small number like 76 million ?
76 million people don’t care about Rachel Zegler. In fact, I’d put the number at much higher than that.
Even the ones who are rarely pull numbers out of their . . . let’s just say thin air.
You know this film is going to lose massive amounts of money and also be terrible PR for Disney.
A little farfetched is being much too kind.
I think it’s safe to say the vast majority don’t follow Disney like we do, but even if it’s only 10% that saw/heard about the controversy that’s about ten million adults.
I think you’re also missing the target audience. Sure there are a good number of adult Disney fans but it looks like this film is directed toward young kids.
Stop breaking forum rules.
She's not comparing being conservative to being slaughtered. She's comparing how the government made their own people hate one group to allow them to be rounded up and the people to be ok with it. Again, stupid comparison and ill advised. But there is a difference if you read what she's saying. Her point was she feels that's exactly what this current administration was doing. Making conservatives out to be the villain, to be hated for their views. Should she have said it? No. But, it seems a lot of people here are ok with Pedros comments. So if you have a problem with Gina you should have just as big an issue with Pedro.
Certain comparisons are more sensitive than others and her comments touched on one of them. I wouldn't have fired her for the comment but Disney probably didn't know what was coming next and decided otherwise.
Zeglers comments alone are just a piece of the puzzle, add in the Dinkler comments, the negativity about the leaked 7 dwarfs / 7 friends photo, the delays, the questionable dwarfs CGI, the mostly negative response to the trailer… I can’t think of any positive word of mouth leading up to the release of this film, it’s been one negative after another, with only a couple months left before it hits theaters that doesn’t bode well for the box office.
Here's the big question. Who is going take this target audience to go see it? The problem is if you tick off the parents, odds are they aren't bringing the kids.
Totally agree. The over spending alone will be a big reason SW will lose money.
I get it, I really do. My personal point is Pedro hit that same nerve and a lot of people here are ok with it. I don't read a lot of posts like myself that denounce both. There's a lot of excuse making for one, while we get lies like she's denying the Holocaust. I'm not going to say either should or should not have been fired. But I do think that a decision on one should have been a decision for both.
