Well, then, Universal gets all the big stars then. Or, they start their own studio with blackjack and hookers. The studios need the talent more than the talent needs the studios, the talent needs to realize that and work together.

    My personal experience going all the way back to elementary school is that there’s always somebody in the group who’s willing to fuck over everybody else for their own gain.

    Given that we are talking about a group of people well known for their egos I imagine that this is a fairly uphill battle.

    With AI on the horizon I'm not sure that last sentence will hold up for much longer.

    Much deserved, too. If you sign on to shit scripts and give meh performances for marvel expect to be replaced by AI. Not sure what the fuck some of them expected.

    Same with writers writing slop for these corps. What the fuck did you expect to happen?!
