Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | Disney Cancels Lesbian Space Witch Show "The Acolyte;" Former X-Men Producer Says He'll Sue Disney for DefamationIt's just a well-oiled machine, and Disney's efforts to "inject gayness into everything" (as one of its executives said) is just nothing but upside. What's remarkable is not that the barely-viewed, savagely reviewed Acolyte was canceled. It cost $180 million plus and was yet another corporate embarrassment. Bob Iger can't put the blame on Kaffeine Kennedy when he's the guy who refuses to fire her or at least take away her power to greenlight woke trash shows. What's remarkable is that Disney is admitting -- or bragging -- that they're cancelling it. What they usually do is claim that sequels to unpopular money-losers are "in development," perpetually. Disney still claims, for example, that the Rian Johnson Star Wars trilogy is still a go... one day, when they get all their ducks in a row. So what made Disney rush out word that no, no Acolyte sequel series is in perpetual development, but is in fact fully, officially canceled? Could be that shareholders are getting antsy about Iger's apparent credo that "Failure is Job One" and would like some reassurance that Iger doesn't intend to burn their money in a pit forever."The Acolyte" will not return for Season 2. Lucasfilm has elected not to continue with the "Star Wars" Disney+ series following its first season, which depicted the rise of the Sith roughly 100 years before the events of "Star Wars: The Phantom Menace." The news comes at once as a shock, given how much of the Season 1 finale ended on a cliffhanger and teased several plotlines for a Season 2, and not much of a surprise, given the wildly opposing reception from fans and the less-than-robust viewership that appeared to drop off after the series premiere in June.The "wildly opposing reception" comes from two different camps. First, actual Star Wars fans, who tend to be male and straight, who hated the show (or simply didn't bother watching it, as Disney has done what a thousand bullies failed to accomplish, convincing them that Star Wars is Stupid and Fucking Gay). Second, non-Star-Wars-fan feminist and gay political agitators on Twitter, who do not watch these things, because they don't like boys' adventure stories, but are constantly demanding that people fill boys' adventure stories with women and gays, who promise that they will like Star Wars if only they can "see themselves in it." But when you make shows and movies expressly for them, they don't show up, and the shows and movies fail. Disastrously. So who does Hollywood and the corporate media keep courting? The non-fans, of course. They're not actually interested in the shows and you'll go bankrupt chasing "the phantom audience that does not and never will exist," but at least they're not icky like those straight male geeks. ... Other fans, however, felt those creative choices were antithetical to the good-vs-evil nature of "Star Wars" storytelling, and strongly objected to the show's expansion of the mythology of the Force. "The Acolyte" was also review-bombed, an insidious practice most often employed as a form of digital protest against inclusive casts centered around actors of color and LGBTQ characters, like Osha and Mae's mothers played by Jodie Turner-Smith and Margarita Levieva. (The 2017 film "Star Wars: The Last Jedi" was an early recipient of this kind of trolling.)Oh, blow me. The most insidious form of review bombing is the habit of all the leftwing sheep "critics" who only judge a movie based on its leftwing politics and "representation" of allegedly "marginalized" groups. They pretend that every movie or show that "teaches the CHUDs a lesson" is brilliant. Amusingly, Deadline reported the cancellation on August 19th -- and Disney's stock shot up a full dollar that day. Coincidence? Or is it The Will of the Force? Meanwhile, there's the former producer of the revived X-Men cartoon, the very, very gay Beau DeMayo. DeMayo was suddenly fired from the show on the eve of its debut for no given reason. He was dis-invited to the premier, and later even had his credits stripped off the second season. Which hasn't been shown yet. Cartoons are usually bought in two season deals, to amortize the costs in making them over two seasons. So when you hear "Velma is so good they've ordered another season!," that's yet another corporate media lie. Velma was terrible. But they had already made the entire "second season." All they're really saying is that Velma's already-finished second-season will be shown, and not dumped in a pit, set aflame, and have the melted remnants of the hard-drives it is stored on covered with concrete of Strategic Missile Command Bunker durability. The firing of a Privileged Homosexual like DeMayo from such a high-profile project on the eve of its debut was first thought to be due to the cartoon being yet another Disney/Marvel flop. But people who've seen it (I haven't) say it was good and a worthy successor to the old 90s X-Men cartoon. So what was it? Well, DeMayo was known to maintain an OnlyFans account, and posted pictures of himself in various states of undress. DeMayo says his firing was due only to him posting this sexualized picture of himself as an X-Man.
Marvel Studios has issued an official statement saying that "X-Men '97" creator and head writer Beau DeMayo was fired from the series in March 2024 for "egregious" misconduct. The studio released the statement shortly after DeMayo posted on several social media accounts, claiming that he was stripped of writing credits for the show's second season because of a gay pride post he shared to social media. "Mr. DeMayo was terminated in March 2024 following an internal investigation," the studio said in a statement. "Given the egregious nature of the findings, we severed ties with him immediately and he has no further affiliation with Marvel." A source with knowledge of the investigation said evidence was discovered of sexual misconduct, and that DeMayo repeatedly violated his termination agreement, which led to the removal of his credits for Season 2.One of the nerd-culture youtubers, maybe Gary from Nerdrotic, said that what he heard (and this is all rumor) was that Disney was willing to let DeMayo slide on the "egregious misconduct," as long as he stopped posting about X-Men. In this scenario, Disney would overlook the conduct of DeMayo as long as he stopped publicly associating himself with the show he produced. But then he kept posting about it, including with that wannabe gay thirst-trap cartoon of himself, so they fired him. I have no idea, obviously. I'm just rooting for injuries, and bad discovery for Disney. "The Disney Plus disaster"? Presumably he doesn't mean the show itself, which was well-received. Does he mean he knows that Disney Plus as a whole is a disaster? Is he hinting that he will attempt to discover information about how poorly its doing? To prod them into a settlement? He also said, dramatically: Beau DeMayoOh f*** you in your "safe space," sissy. Comments(Jump to bottom of comments)1

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> I love this. To require "representation" you have to make the story into a girl's story. I discussed this with my wife. For a normal girl to see herself in a story, the character has to resemble the girl. For a boy, he has to be a hero.

Meanwhile, I (and my guy friends) would not care what race or color or age of the hero.

I guess Disney thinks it can resurrect the Star Wars brand somehow once it finally shitcans the horrendous Kathleen Kennedy. That's the only reason I can think of that it would announce the cancellation. It's saying, "we hear ya, bros. This Acolyte shit was a gay stinky DUMPSTER FIRE!"
The problem with that is that under Disney, Star Wars has been beaten, cut, stabbed, gouged, poisoned, crushed, cornholed, strangled, dismembered, flayed, hanged and set on fire. The brand is DEAD. None of its fans will ever return while Disney still owns it. Posted by: Cicero (@cicero43) at August 21, 2024 04:54 PM (guGkK) 93

So who does Hollywood and the corporate media keep courting?
The non-fans, of course.

So, I sat through the Civ VII gameplay trailer this morning (around 25 minutes). I wish I could do a trial or beta when it comes out next February, because the new system of swapping civs each era could be good or it could be horrible. I instinctively do not like the narrator, an ugly woman who overdoes the British pronunciation of things.

they are courting the audience they WANT to deal with, the tony people who understand their jokes and are of a social and economic class they approve of. The current fans are all nikulturny and are the sort of people the marketing folks all had nightmares about. So NASCAR and Star Wars and movies about fake anime characters are all aimed at upper income, ambiguously gendered social warriors, and the IP is used to teach the current fans how to behave and what they should WANT to be because after all everyone should aspire to be upper income, ambiguously gendered social warriors.

"What's remarkable is not that the barely-viewed, savagely reviewed Acolyte was canceled. It cost $180 million plus and was yet another corporate embarrassment."
What's remarkable is that a show this poor cost so much fucking money. Doesn't anyone...question how much these shows are costing? $22.6 million per 40-minute episode? Mostly staring nobodies? With a low experience director? The squid game was $2 million per episode. Daredevil was $3 million. Bridgerton and Altered carbon are $7 million. And they look WAY more expensive than the Acolyte. the Witcher was thought outrageously expensive at $10 million an episode. The budgets for these Lucas film things just don't make any sense at all. Not with what you see up on screen. Posted by: El Mariachi at August 21, 2024 06:47 PM (nLFEI) 308

Leslie Hedland was one of the 'fixers' for Harvey Weinstein's females to exploit.
The winner of Leslie's search got time with Harvey. The runner-up of the search got time with Harvey. And then with Leslie. Posted by: Nathan at August 21, 2024 11:18 PM (HBOL9) 311
For those not familiar with the minutiae of this stuff, DeMayo's name being removed from the credits isn't just PR. It removes any royalties he would have earned from Season 2. Royalty payments are based on the number of times a name appears in the credits.
(Fun fact: Bill Cosby managed to get himself named six times for separate positions in the credits for The Cosby Show, which meant he was getting paid six times every time an episode aired) Posted by: Daniel Ream at August 22, 2024 11:16 AM (0Go0g) Processing 0.05, elapsed 0.0616 seconds. |
