Eh, according to Disney she got a cut of the Disney+ profits as well. “There is no merit whatsoever to this filing. The lawsuit is especially sad and distressing in its callous disregard for the horrific and prolonged global effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Disney has fully complied with Ms. Johansson’s contract and furthermore, the release of Black Widow on Disney+ with Premier Access has significantly enhanced her ability to earn additional compensation on top of the $20M she has received to date.”

She did say on July 8th that she was done. Here is an excerpt from her interview at Fatherly:

"Are you done with Black Widow and the Avengers?"

"I have no plans to return as Natasha. I feel really satisfied with this film. It feels like a great way to go out for this chapter of my Marvel identity. I would love to be able to continue to collaborate with Marvel in other ways because I think there’s just an incredible wealth of stories there. Re-imagining this genre is something that I find very interesting. I think there’s a lot of opportunities to tell these stories in different ways than audiences have come to expect."

“The lawsuit is especially sad and distressing in its callous disregard for the horrific and prolonged global effects of the COVID-19 pandemic”....like they give a fuck about people during Covid. They fired a bunch of employees while giving themselves bonuses. They dont care about anyone but themselves and their woke agenda.

I'm trying hard to care about the financial disagreement between a multi-millionairess and a billion dollar company but I just can't.

Sorry ☹️

$30 flat is a deal for, say, a group of six people who want to hang out, make it a movie night, be able to yell at the screen without an avalanche of "shshshshsh" from all the other strangers in a threatre, eat lots of food that doesn't require your car as a down payment, and allows pausing for washroom breaks.

Shucks, add in the travel costs saved in not driving/parking or taking transit/uber to the theatre, and it's a deal for two people.

AND, it's not as though they only released on streaming and forced anyone to have to pay to see it - the theatrical release still happened, those who wish to go to a theatre to see it still can. I'm not seeing the fail here.

But, you could have done this math yourself, so there must be some other point to this post that I'm missing.

Right? That statement is total BS.

Yep, bang on.

and their woke agenda.

You lost me - but you were doing sooo well!

I live in Central FL, I can go to a theater less then 15 minutes away on a Tuesday for $5 with a $7 Large Popcorn! You must be in a Mega City if you gotta add in Transit/Uber/Parking Fees...that's on you!

You and three friends @ $12 ea. = $48.

Sure, I go to the movie theatre by myself, but not usually.

You?

Woke agenda part = boundingintocomics Ill sum it up for you. "Feige pretty much confirmed it. He made it very clear they set out to race and gender swap the majority of the cast before they had even began searching for a director! Not only that, but it shows where Marvel Studios and Feige’s priorities are. He clearly states the reason for the film being moved to the top of their list of films to make is purely because they could swap the characters’ races, genders, and sexualities." So they fast tracked the film for a woke agenda. And another point is WandaVision. They cut Dr Strange from appearing because they didnt want a 'white male' to show her how to use her powers. Again, woke agenda part.

Didn't they cut him because they had major transportation problems because of the pandemic? Hell, they pretty much cut all of Darcy's scenes they had planned because she got caught in a lock down. So she only appeared for a really short time at the final episode as they had to shoot what they could of her in another studio. A lot of the changes they made in the final episode was apparently all because of issues caused by the pandemic. I'm not sure how woke that is supposed to be?

So, if a movie centres on white males, all good; if a movie centres on others, it's gotta be some agenda?

Besides, seems to me, if they're committed to being woke, they wouldn't be trying to screw Johansson out of a bigger payday, because she's a woman.

I remember Disney's original title for The Princess and the Frog was The Princess Frog. The feedback from test audiences prompted them to change it - had they been committed to some "woke agenda" as you call it, they wouldn't have been going in the direction in which they were going.

If Disney is on some woke agenda, they're not very good at it.

Previously, Feige confirmed Strange was cut because he was white and would help Wanda with her newfound powers. He made those claims as part of a Rolling Stone piece from back in May.

Feige stated, “Some people might say, ‘Oh, it would’ve been so cool to see Doctor Strange.’ But it would have taken away from Wanda.”

“We didn’t want the end of the show to be commoditized to go to the next movie – here’s the white guy, ‘Let me show you how power works,’” Feige then elaborated, “I haven’t talked about this before, but we had a deal with Benedict [Cumberbatch] to pop up at the end of WandaVision, or somewhere in WandaVision.”

He detailed, “Because we knew we wanted to connect them [Wanda’s next appearance is in the second Dr. Strange movie, next year’s Dr. Strange in the Multiverse of Madness], and wouldn’t it be great. But as we worked on the show, and on the movie, we realized there was no reason to really do that.” “We didn’t want the end of the show to be commoditized to go to the next movie – here’s the white guy, ‘Let me show you how power works,’” he added.

So the answer is no. It had nothing to do with the pandemic. They just didnt want to take away from Wanda and link them together...you know something almost all the Marvel movies have done since the fucking beginning.

If the original source material centers on a white male its all good. If they change that white male to something else to please the woke mob and push an agenda than we have a fucking problem. If they changed Blade into a middle eastern female we would have a problem. But change a white redheaded girl into a black girl and its all good right? Oh and Johansson is only getting this treatment because they dont want other actors to start doing the same. Its about power and control. I honestly dont think its about money, they proved they dont care about that while pushing out that abortion known as Star Wars. And the Princess Frog sounds terrible. That didnt have to do with any woke agenda, just bad marketing apparently. No little girl wants to be associated with a frog.
