please post source, nobody knows wtf this is. I traced it to this post on reddit: popculturechat/comments/zmxrop/leak_why_henry_cavill_really_left_the_witcher/ which is from something called the Deuxmoi podcast.
everyone on Reddit worships Cavill. he's their new Keanu. the idea that some pissant little leaker trying to shit on them is going to move the needle is laughable.
nobody had a negative word to say about Cavill in YEARS, and only now, months after he's publicly left the show AND the fan backlash nuked the show runners and writer's room, AND said people acted very humble in public which only showed that everything being said was true, ONLY AFTER ALL THAT, did some 100% anonymous person who might have nothing to do with the show and just tribally trying to defend feminism, suddenly make all kinds of on-their-face non-credible attacks? LOL.
LOL no. He's a gamer, but nothing he has ever said or done reflects that he is super hard core about it.
okay so this is just badly written fiction.
Who? Name the writer. There can't have been many writers fired from that show.
for what?
LOL NOPE. We all know that the showrunner wanted him gone. Netflix doesn't give a shit about production, they just want to make money. Losing their golden boy would not have been something they pushed for.
The gamer writer (and producer) in question was Beau DeMayo.
(Who's also a chad: https://www.instagram.com/beau_demayo/)
I also immediately knew it was DeMayo since he was the only other one who left.
Incidentally, he also had the same complaints as Henry in talking about how the other writers didnt respect and outright hated the source material. And it is why he instituted a rule while being the lead writer for X-Men '97 of making sure only those who respect the source material are allowed on.
The only difference here is that DeMayo says he quit while this blog says he was fired. But considering DeMayo has been consistent while the other writers have been lying repreatedly, I know who I am trusting for actual information.
looked it up. he's the guy who famously said that "The Witcher – where some of the writers were not or actively disliked the books and games (even actively mocking the source material.)"
there is no evidence he was fired, and he was a freelancer so wasn't full time with them anyway. he left to work on a marvel project. some fag in the writers room - Matthew D'Ambrosio - sniped at him and claimed he was "fired for being an asshole". dude's twitter profile pic is him drawn as an anime catboy.
Lol.
He don't look mayo to me
"Also, trying to make quality product is sexist. Probably racist. Almost certainly transphobic. Somehow also Qanon...even I don't understand that one, and I'm functionally retarded."
So realistically he was trying to make the series more accurate to the books. The “writers” were almost all completely unaware of the story, by their own admission… the “showrunner” had no clue about the lore or story and just was there to insert Wahman. The petty cuntiness with how this reads out basically all but proves Cavill was the only one that gave a flying fuck about the series not being complete drivel and larping.
Sadly that describes a good chunk of modern day adaptations. Wheel of Time is one I think of immediately
I huff and straighten my skirts every time someone mentions it.
This reads to me like he cared about the art, the story, the logic, and his trade, and tried to do something to save it.
No one who genuinely cares can stand to watch as corruption and sewage runs in, and not feel disgust.
And that he correctly identified where the rot was coming from; the rats there for anything but merit.
That he tried to stand against the wretched vermin; the slimy, sucking, soulless wenches. The one's there for the good of themselves and their careers, who work only to add to the influence of their cackling click of the screeching, the vile, and the cowards.
That he saw their black hole of narcissism and had the spine to hate it, and the courage to make them know he hates it.
If this is true, and it's certainly not, but it were then there is maybe hope yet for this one.
Based if true.
But it's not. (I give 2% chance it's true, and that's being generous.)
Also, of course they went with the sexism angle.
Parts of it are definitely 100% nonsense. But I can totally see this being the embellished, dramatized, and utterly skewed version of events shared off the record by some hollywood shitlib who was involved, and is no doubt maximally salty about the obviously true fact that the show is dead in the water without him because nobody else going to fill that role as well as he did.
Absolutely. And it's glorious. I love a good self-own.
Of all the things that didn't happen as reported... let me grab my misogy-gamer controler to press X to doubt.
P.S. : So it was a problem he didn't want to make shirtless and kissing scenes? More feminist double-standarts.
Man, did you see these actresses for the romance scenes?
Didn't know Henry Cavill was this based. Too bad this is probably just some pressed lesbian's fanfiction.
No such thing. Just penis envy. Allegedly doesn't like dick, but uses a dick shaped object or a fake dick to hatefully pretend fuck a woman? LAWL
The same showrunner who made the men wear scrotum costumes complaining about toxic attitudes..
Given Netflix greenlit Cuties, I view them as either actively malicious, or at the very least criminally negligent in their oversight of their own projects.
There's zero chance the "top brass" investigated Cavill for any reason. There isn't even that high a chance "top brass" even knew he was contracted to them. At best, some harpy higher up from HR with a chip on shoulder and bias plain to see had some sexist hatred for him and acted on their own volition. At best. More likely it was some lower HR.
