Makes sense. Good decision. Over a billion secured, sorry covid-19 even you can't thwart this.

No, Disney will only fire directors if they piss-off certain alt-right bloggers.

No lol

Taika will quickly issue a statement/apology. Nothing really to see here.

Looooooool, when I read this I thought he might have done something actually bad.    

 

Instead it’s a failure to properly dereference a pronoun on the part of some stupid activists. He’s 100% uncancelled, nothing more will come of this than him correcting the misreading when he wakes up.

Moderation

 

Only talk about Taika and his tweets and how it relates to Love & Thunder and its box office. Talking about Taika and his tweet through the context of the current protests going on in the United States is not okay. Please go to the politics thread if you want to discuss things in that way.

To follow up, for those reading this thread who are out of the loop:  

Taika tweeted this

What morons who are trigger happy to get offended are trying to make out that he meant — “The police seem to be enjoying this. [Black people] are inciting the chaos, dudes! #BLM”

 

What he actually meant — “The police seem to be enjoying this. [The police] are inciting the chaos, dudes! #BLM”   
 

This is easily cleared up, but even if it wasn’t it wouldn’t affect the directorial choice, production schedule, or BO performance of L&T.

This wasn't the tweet. The tweets he's getting cancelled for is the one where he tells protestors how to direct their anger and the joke about looting Urbana Outfitters. 

 

Either way, I was just joking. Waititi 100% not getting cancelled for this. The internet will probably forget in a week.

Ah, cool. It can be hard to tell online. Completely agree.

Why does anyone who’s moderately famous even bother with social media? People on hellholes like Twitter will always look for an excuse to “cancel” them no matter what. It wasn’t too long ago when people tried to “cancel” RDJ over a satirical role he played in Tropic Thunder, even though that had been common knowledge for over a decade.

I don't think the general audience  really care about Twitter's cancellation  of the day. Taika and the movie should be fine.

It's using the same tech as Mandalorian. Very useful in covid era, and Disney basically has exclusivity to it since Lucasfilm developed it.

You do realise ILM does VFX and uses their tech for movies made by other studios right? The article also mentions that the tech is being used for a Netflix film.

The fact Disney owns ILM is mind blowing. 

A great asset.

If this becomes more common I wonder if the other Mandalorian directors will start getting more gigs, since they're the ones most experienced with the tech.
