I don’t know why Netflix didn’t do it in the first place. They themselves described the show as a fiction during promotions; the disclaimer is the bare minimum they had to do.

The idiots at Twitter who approved the sale of the company to that jerk should feel even more ashamed of themselves than before. I don’t want to have to close my account but I might be forced to.

A scab is a strikebreaker. This isn’t what happened here: Taylor had no contract and the negotiations fell through.

I haven’t changed my mind: Miller’s career is essentially finished. They just happened to have their meltdown at the point where it would have been the most inconvenient for Warner to dump them, so they’re allowed/asked to finish what they started and that will be it.

Secondly, can we finally acknowledge that Bill Murray isn’t worth it? He made some classics back in the day but he is pretty replaceable in my opinion.

That’s about the age Harrison Ford was when he filmed Star Wars. Some actors reached their prime relatively late.

Romcoms’ primary audience has always been women. Judd Apatow did release a few that were aimed specifically at men but even then, female characters still had a big role.

True, but assuming the character does appear down the line - and Tudyk thinks he will - it doesn’t change the problem of what the show currently is.

Lol, true, but in a stupid, « we’ll tease him in a spot and have Stewart pretend it’s not him » kind of way. This is way more official.

I feel like Lucy Davis isn’t fat enough in Wonder Woman to warrant a fat suit, but maybe that’s just me?

I mean, you wrote “nothing we heard or read about Boseman makes me think he wouldn’t have approved of the part being recast,” which can obviously be interpreted as speculating about his state of mind.

Alan Tudyk confirmed he wouldn’t be part of season 1.

The problem is that, not only did it launch on last gen, it was actually the only version that was available back then because current gen only officially launched this February. It was really a “lying to customers” issue.

If it were just a quick cameo, à la Patrick Stewart in Doctor Strange, I don’t think they would’ve spoiled it. I think they announced it because the part is big enough to be featured in the promotions.

I would also recommend reading John Carter, if reading old work that didn’t age perfectly doesn’t bother you. It has the tone that Lucas wanted to emulate.

Here’s the problem: while I may have never seen a Star Wars show like Andor, I have seen plenty of other sci-fi shows similar. Defiance, The Expanse and Battlestar Galactica, among others, have all tried the space show for adults genre with different degree of success, and Andor doesn’t really bring anything new to…

I am not speculating on what he would have wanted or not, I am pointing out how often parts are being recast and how that’s something actors have to deal with. I often see people saying that recasting would have been disrespectful to Boseman, which is unfair: people can be sad that he died and still wish the part had…

But why assume he wouldn’t have? We had 3 Spider-Men in 20 years, 2 War Machines in 12 years, 3 Hulks in 19 years... I think we currently have 3 Batmen. Why assume that Boseman would be the one actor who wouldn’t want his role passed on to a new actor?

This article makes a lot of effort affirming facts nobody questioned (the movie was a technical marvel) and avoiding arguments people have actually made (neither the story nor the characters were memorable).

The thing that bothers me the most is that nothing we heard or read about Boseman makes me think he wouldn’t have approved of the part being recast. Actors know that they don’t own the part they play; otherwise, no one would have played Shakespeare in centuries! T’Challa is a great character, independently of who…
