There is a difference between being “anti-woke” (like finding birthing person ridiculous) and being as much of a sensitive snowflake as the wokesters, even if it’s in the name of “anti-woke.”

She Hulk team revel in attacking fans.



She-Hulk Team Admits to Attacking Fans and Marvel
Alex Gherzo | Oct 16, 2022 |

In case you found She-Hulk: Attorney at Law too subtle, the three main creatives behind the show would love to tell you how much they hate you. In an interview with Variety, She-Hulk showrunner Jessica Gao, director Kat Coiro, and star Tatiana Maslany shared their disdain for Marvel fans and the pleasure they took in sticking it to anyone who disliked the show – and based on their comments, they must’ve figured most people wouldn’t. To be sure, Variety is fishing for these comments with the questions, asking them about little besides how much Marvel fans suck, but the responses indicate satisfaction in expressing themselves.

Maslany goes first, discussing how “trolls” were made the show’s villains.

“As a cast, it was delightful sending each other these troll responses, like ‘Oh my god, give them a week and then they’re going to literally see this pop up verbatim in the show and become the villains of the show.’ It was thrilling.”

How did they know the exact responses they’d get? This almost sounds like the show was tailored to elicit these reactions from fans. On the surface, this seems strange – why alienate the people who like this stuff? But maybe the idea is shame; Marvel’s been taking a lot more criticism than it’s used to for its movies and TV shows lately, so perhaps this is all an attempt to teach fans their place, buying tickets and tweeting their adoration for whatever they’re lucky enough to be served. With all the talk of cost-cutting (in the show itself, as if it’s funny to point out how sloppily and cheaply your series was thrown together while you mock people who don’t like it), maybe this was just a throwaway aimed at addressing a larger problem for them. Or maybe I’m thinking about this too much, and they’re just whiney, vindictive snobs.

Maslany then talks about how Marvel fans hate women:

“There’s so much resistance to a woman just existing in that space of superheroes…There’s such an entitlement to space held by certain people, and to even exist as She-Hulk is like a frick-you, and I love that.”

This is an admission both of ignorance of the character’s history and that the series serves to attack fans. She-Hulk has existed in comic books longer than I’ve been alive; if there were resistance to women superheroes, I don’t think she’d still be around, not to mention the many other women superheroes like Black Widow, Scarlet Witch, Ms. Marvel/Captain Marvel, half the X-Men, Sue Storm, or Wonder Woman (who is older than all of Marvel Comics; were women more accepted in male spaces in 1941 than they are now?). Even if you’re just counting the MCU, which is probably their only point of reference till someone throws them a character to put into the show, Black Widow has been a part of the franchise since Phase 1, and others were added along the way; the fans were also asking for a Black Widow movie long before Marvel finally made one. These are the people Tatiana Maslany enjoyed giving a “frick-you.” But you’re still required to love the show, of course.

Next is Jessica Gao, who also admits the show exists to attack fans.

“The fact that we were able to predict what the reaction was going to be, what a lot of the trolling comments were going to be, really shows how very tired and unoriginal these trolls are. That really tickled me because the little troll that lives inside of me really loves trolling the trolls.”

How the frick have the power brokers/board/shareholders at Disney not put a stop to outwardly slaughtering multiple golden geese?

---

Because the majority of the money in DIS stock is backed up by leftist former hippy Boomers who think the problem with America is traditional values and DIS was once the largest representation of those values. The thing that made Disney, Disney, was the wholesome image. They are trying to use Disney to make people accept their ideology. The message is more important than profit because they have a 7 trillion dollar cash machine propping up the company.

Defend this you racist fricks.
