re: JJ Abrams wrote all 3 screenplays for the sequel trilogy, Johnson scrapped everything

True. And I often see people emphasize these when they don't want to get dragged into a political discussion with a low likelihood of a good outcome.

the "SJW" angle on this movie is hilariously overblown.

Do you think you'd feel the same if the tables were turned? Let's say someone green lights a sequel to A Wrinkle in Time or the Hunger Games and then systematically demolishes the positive female role models that were beloved by so many young girls.

Wouldn't the women who grew up loving those characters have a pretty fair amount of justification if they were angry? Especially if you overlaid on top of that an affiliation between the new director and his boss for very right leaning politics and maybe inserted some random arse libertarian or pro gun propaganda into one of those sequels?

Because when you look at what Rian and Kennedy made you have to attribute their behavior to more than simple bad judgment. We should just want both fired for being bad at their jobs but we should also be pretty understanding of the fans of the franchise who were duped into buying tickets to a product that was embarrassingly bad.
