Yes, but it meets the woke requirements and that’s all that mattered to Kathleen Kennedy.

I saw an interview with one of the screenplay writers. He had no knowledge of “screenplay writing 101”. He didn’t even understand the concept of tension. But he sure felt he was the greatest writer ever. These people are all incompetent frauds.

Ah yes, she should give up control to the purple hair brigade so they can retcon Hermione as a tranny. That will surely save the franchise.

Apparently not.

Nothing but full out acquiescence is good enough for the demonically controlled left.

” I suppose he would like Disney to buy it.”
Then the Disney movie would have Dumbeldore “doing” Harry, followed by the twins.
Disney now has the fine tradition of effing up whatever movie they touch.

I work for Disney and everyone there knows

That you have a basement full of kids chained to the wall?

Totally true, just ask any Qtard.

Exactly, the real story about Depp has entered the public awareness thanks to the trial in the US being broadcast.

All the same information was already out there when he got “cancelled”, but it wasn’t on television, since the UK trial wasn’t televised, so the unwashed masses remained blissfully unaware of it.

Rowling should hang on to her creation. It’s her Baby.
Some may liken that to Rosemary’s Baby, but it is her project to treat as she so pleases.

Besides, if someone is petty enough, intolerant enough to hate the author for stating a few basic opinions, they will continue to hate anything that was ever inspired by that author.

“Written by the then-beloved author of the original books…”

This is funny because it’s delusional.

She's got lots of money.

She should hire some guys to go give Calum a tune-up.

“The lack of struggle and defeats for the protagonist betrays a lack of understanding of the most basic storytelling skills.”

Initially a book series turned in to live action movies.

They want to steal her stuff.

It’s that simple.

the writer commented on Twitter in 2020, causing outrage from the LGBTQ community

To be clear, the LGB community is fine with J.K. Rowling. It's the TQ community that has a problem with her.

It’s not just transgender people. A lot of young people bash her for this.

Classic wokist. Do not create, but infest something others worked for, scream outrage at any deviation from the extreme agenda, fly into tantrums of cancellation, hatred, and demand ownership of others’ work and property.

Would they consider making their own thing? Some have tried, and nobody, nobody wants that garbage. Instead, they just spoil everything they can get their hands on.

This has a word, largely used these days for sex, but applicable in everything these losers do: perversion (to turn something inside out).

I don’t think he’s an idiot. He certainly seems to be able to hold his own under cross examination. As for being a weirdo, sure he’s guilty of that, he’s an artist, and that is pretty much par for the course.

But the real story is that he is not a “wife beater” like the Amber Heard and her leftie allies tried to portray. In fact, the opposite is true; Heard was regularly physically attacking him and he was running away to hide and get away from her rather than respond with violence of his own.

That sound you did not hear is the sound of an ant attempting to break wind and failing.
