I legit have watched people—adults who I know play video games—navigate around an isometric map by repeatedly clicking just in front of the character, or using WASD.

It’s hardly surprising that a producer who decides to play to the lowest common denominator will, when pressed on it, spout easy answers.

The characters don’t even have to make all good and sensible choices, just *believable* ones. If someone makes a dumb mistake, there should be some logic beyond it beyond “the plot demanded it”.

I’m no flag waving ‘patriot' by any stretch of the imagination, but this notion that the lowest common denominator is exclusively a US byproduct will never not be exhausting. Future "Ow, my Balls" fans are a worldwide phenomenon. For proof, see your average interview with any given Brexit supporter.

One issue is that writers are never really given a blank slate to work with for these types of adaptations. They are told a general framework of the characters, the story, depth, tone, etc. and the ‘writing’ is filling in the rest. It’s not the same work for them as a typical novel from scratch.

Yeah, the success of a lot of other TV shows really shows how out of touch this guy is.

The exact same crap with Falcon and the Winter Soldier and Secret Invasion. Someone writes something clever, the producer says Americans are too stupid to get it, they rewrite it into something insultingly simple that ends up being politically detestable, audiences hate it, the producers complain that Americans were…

It doesn’t help here that the split was super weird. Like, and I’m not exaggarating here, the second part was essentially a three episode prologue to Season 4.

You understand not only is he correct, he’s speaking a fundamental truth.

Look, I would’ve watched the newest season, but I got cut off when Netflix cracked down on password sharing and in light of *waves arms wildly* going on in the film and TV industry, I wasn’t rushing to sign up for my own account.

*gestures at all the shittiness of modern society and capitalism*...I mean, apparently you can do exactly those things.

Assuming everything was translated correctly, the man being quoted isn’t a writer, but a producer who’s trying to defend his decisions on the show. Sure, the writers, by definition, write the script, but they’re usually working within the constraints set by their superiors - the showrunners and producers who decide…

Jesus Christ just reading through that was so insane that for a moment I was worried that I was having a stroke.

I really hope this producer gets less work after this. You can’t be successful and blame everyone else for your failures.

So once again, blaming your audience rather than blaming what actually is the problem: Poor writing

The other accusations aside... being shocked/surprised by that banana act at an Amsterdam Sex show is like being upset that the Harlem Globetrotters played some tricky underhanded basketball. 

My assumption was that it actually went the other way, and the dancers were starting to lose weight. Lizzo walked by and saw the digits on the scale and was like “You gotta pump those numbers up! Those are rookie numbers!”

Fat-shamed by fucking Lizzo, what a world.

The details of the suit describe Lizzo questioning Davis’ commitment to her position because of weight gain as well as pressuring the dancers to interact with nude performers in Amsterdam’s red light district against their will.

LIZZO hounded her employees to catch dildos ejected from performers’ vaginas. LIZZO cheered loudly to motivate employees to eat bananas protruding from performers’ vaginas.
