Agreed. Not everyone who says the sequel trilogy is bad is an angry little pissbaby, but so many are, and I can’t help but think implicit (or, depending on the take, explicit) misogyny plays a role in encouraging that style of “discourse”. Like, OPs post is a whisper away from blaming DEI for handing their beloved franchise off to a clueless woman who didn’t give the fans the fawning worship that they are owed.
Also, if it worked, her hands off approach to corporate oversight of auteur creatives would be something we’d all be singing her praises for. Of course, it didn’t, but I’m not going to sit here and say, hmm yes, I want Disney corporate offices to have MORE control over their creatives, that will fix the lukewarm slop that the franchise is delivering!
