Issue close to my heart — have been on the wrong side of media coverage during pre-production, have dealt with (wrongly reported) leaks, etc...

Classic!

It’s just the first source that pops-up most of the time, and I doubt that anyone in that discussion thought it provided the wrong definition, honestly.

That makes sense. For Marvel, that’s often Scarlet Witch, and for DC it’s the Flash. They seem to be the default universe-rebooting characters.

I’ve written this elsewhere, but if she quoted the definition in the email body while bolding the parts she thought were relevant to her argument, and provided the link as a source, that’s not all that unusual.

I feel I’ve provided one, so end of thread, I guess.

That’s all hinging on The Wrap’s source, and maybe they got it right. They could’ve also been totally out of the discussion, and repeating gossip.

Depends. If it’s someone’s very first chance at a major project, and they have no other options, it stings a lot more than in Jenkins’ case. I’m not saying she was happy about it, but she also could have remained civil.

Maybe.  We’d have to see the actual exchange to know for sure.

If it’s just the link, sure.  If it’s a paragraph from the link with stuff bolded for emphasis, along with the link itself to show the source, not quite as bad as it sounds.

So I guess ‘canned’ isn’t the right word, exactly. They were going to avoid fundamental contradictions between movies, and have no multi-movie arcs.

I get that it’s fun to paint disagreements like these as dramatic clashes of gigantic egos, but honestly, at the pre-production stage, things are often much more congenial than you’d think:

I believe the DCEU is being soft-rebooted, which comes after the pre-Zaslav announcement they were canning it entirely.

Regarding the sending of a link being passive-aggressive, it really depends on how she phrased her email. I’ve been in situations where there’s a basic misunderstanding or disagreement, and sending evidence over email can come across as a ‘dunk,’ unless you soften it up a bit.

Ex (I’ve had this exact exchange):

Definitely the kind of meaty scenes actors love to ham up.

Funny aside: Taylor Swift and Avril Lavigne have one odd thing in common: they both started their music careers as New Country singers.

They have some exposure, but they’re dealing with a broader timespan of mass media than we were (I was also born in the ‘70s).

Their band was called The Lone Rangers, which is hilariously stupid.

Yeah I’m with you on country. I might recognize a few of the big names, but that’s it.

Truly outrageous!

(Seriously though, School Ties is a solid pick. I just never pass up an opportunity to bring up Airheads.)
