One of my favourite Mallory line readings was when Lana discovered there really were poison gas cannisters in the vents and says, “We thought you were joking!”, to which Mallory replies, “How is that funny?” The delivery is just so straight, and shows that Mallory is a), the kind of person who wouldn’t joke about…

Is it possible your reaction is a little on the extreme side?

I never realized how much I NEEDED to see Archer playing.... what I guess is some mash up of D&D and Warhammer?

Kevin Feige, is that you?

100% right. Disney has screwed over a lot of people over the years (for starters: Alan Dean Foster and Disney’s sudden allergy for paying royalties on novelizations & IP fiction), and most of them lack the resources to go the distance in court against them. Sometimes you need someone like Scar. Jo who has enough money…

It’s a bit like Taylor Swift suing (did she sue, or just boycott?) Spotify over the exact payment musicians should get for each stream. Yeah, T.Swift and Scar.Jo don’t need the money, but it sets a precedent, reminds corporations they have to honor their agreements with labor, and can, ideally, have positive knock-on…

ScarJo is rich but it's money she earned and no one, no matter how rich, is just gonna say "Sure, keep my $50 million."

Hee hee, nice.

Before anybody harshes on Scarlet, remember this is about women’s pay in Hollywood. Yes, she’s already rich and privileged, but THAT’S NOT THE POINT.

I didn’t expect the first Guardians of the Galaxy to hit a billion because it was full of obscure characters and seemed like it would have a tone completely different to the rest of the MCU.

Yeah, if they explicitly say that there will be an exclusive theatrical release in the contract, that’s true. Even without that, though, I think most reasonable people would agree with the argument that Premier Plus is essentially a service provided in lieu of the theatrical experience, as an alternative because of…

No one cares about your boner.

Even if it is consider part of her box office share, I think it would still be a problem. If the contract says the movie will have an exclusive theatrical release, then they’ve broken that. Moreover, it seems likely that the overall box office numbers (theater and plus) are lower than what was expected. There was an…

Yeah, I’m on Scarlett Johansson’s side here.

Sorry, Emma Stone has already called dibs on the Simone Biles biopic...

Only if she had a contract with you not to do so.

You an expert on the percentages in her contract? 

Exactly. Guarantee that for the right project/salary, she’s working for the Mouse again. Hell, that could be part of the settlement, funding of some vanity project she’s got. Maybe she wants to play Simone Biles or something.

Wait, so do they not consider the “Premier Plus” sales to be part of her box office share? If that’s the case, then hell yeah she should sue.

I highly doubt she was behind that creative decision. Go after the director, producers and screenwriters.
