Rumor: Kathleen Kennedy Fired?
posted 2 years ago by GiveThemNothing 2 years ago by GiveThemNothing +22 / -0

Wouldn't hold my breath, even if true, she could be replaced with an even more rabid feminist.

How many times does it need to happen before people learn that figureheads are overwhelmingly just that: figureheads. What, you think the people behind her don't support her? You think the people that put her in that position don't support her? Stop being so fucking naive about this shit.

It's NEVER just one person. It's NEVER just been one person. It's not just Biden, it's all the Democrats. It's not just Kotaku, it's all game journos. It's not just Kathleen Kennedy, it's all of LucasArts.

Stop focusing on the one and start seeing that it's a much bigger problem.

She will continue to be influential through the dumbasses she installed in Lucasfilm. It would take a complete purge of the entire Lucasfilm workforce to get rid of KK's filth.

Eh. Every time she's failed so far, she's received a promotion.

Why would this trend stop now? She's not even reached the top of Disney, let alone decided to run for President yet...

Yes. If she was going to be "fired" for making shitty films she would be promoted out of the way.

At this rate she's going to be Peter Principle'd to CEO of Disney within 5 years.

I looked up her Wikipedia page today and figured out what was happening. She was a founding financial investor and producer of several big names like Amblin. Luckily Lucas, Spielberg and Howard had the talent to make a good movie. The success made sense.

Now she has more control and lack of talent to lean on. She was one of the creative suits with no brains and veto power that everyone complained about back in the day. Disney is famous for having those same people, and I'm certain they asked for her to stay, with all the promises of the force being female she wanted.

Now we get to see Indy without the talent, star wars without the passion, and a producer who has been there the entire time is taking credit as if she finally gets to make what she wants.

I just want you to know this rumor has been floating around for 5 years. Doomcock and his stupid helmet won't let it go because it makes her a face for all the bad shit that flows out of Lucasfilm.

Easier to lose yourself in hate for the head of Lucasfilm than to acknowledge that the rot (which started in that head) has gone bone deep.

Kathleen knows about some truly shocking stuff, maybe Epstein-level stuff. That's the only reason I can conceive that she still has a job when even minority executives have been fired at Disney. We know now that they actually have to care somewhat about making money, and yet...

Her lust for posh British brunettes is literally more obvious than Harvey Weinstein's casting couch at this point. If The Acolyte ever makes it to release, there will even be a trans posh British brunette in her portfolio.

Her lust for posh British brunettes

Those always feel like her fantastical self inserts.

Because it's what she wants to be rather than what she is

  • Posh sounding accent rather than whatever she has

  • Thin rather than very post wall

  • Young again rather than very post wall and looking like she's had work done to her face

  • Brunettes rather than whatever her hair is now since her face as mentioned isn't natural any more so she's likely dyeing her hair as well

Shes successful proven how great George Lucas was despite him more focusing on world building if he isn't kept in focus compared to the 'we can do better' types that hounded him for years with the films released under Disney. Marvel is no longer the money printer and even long running franchises that have nostalgia running several generations are failing.

There was grounds to fire her YEARS ago but they still held onto her, until I see the slip I won't believe it.

It has been quite funny to me watching all of these people who shit on the Prequels suddenly come around and go "Actually, maybe they werent so bad." I have no such need to change as I always liked the Prequels, and took my lumps for it. So I am just over here like John McClane going "Welcome to the party, pal!"

I never hated them, I just had my complaints of how the script seemed wooden at times and how there was so much focus on world building it would suddenly go 'oh right this is a movie and we've got 30 minutes left, skip to the final battle!'

Lucas needs someone to just reign him in at times and focus a bit, that's the difference between the first Trilogy and the prequels.

The prequels had issues, and weren't perfect by any means, but good god were they fun.

Can't really say that about the Disney trilogy.

They're still trash. Having a different kind of trash come in beside them doesn't change them from garbage to gold.

The prequels are a perfectly edible meal that wasn't cooked very well. The salad is soggy, the steak is burnt around the edges a little, they only have ketchup for sauce tonight and the rolls are hard. But the service was at least really good and the restaurant clearly cares about its customers.

The Sequels just had Gordon Ramsey gorge himself on Taco Bell for a week and then shit directly into your mouth while calling you a worthless pig who deserves it.

Without a massive culture change at Disney to knife the wokes, it wouldn't matter even if she was gone because the woke feminist inner circle she built to control the company would still be there & would run it the exact same way.

Yea, even if they axe all the wokes, Disney won't produce anything worth watching for many many years, at best.

That said, they can't even do that because there'd be next to no one left.

A lot of people forget there is a few years of lag time between when Hollywood does its thing and when it comes out. Most of what we are seeing right now was approved and made during the peak of Trump Derangment in 2018-2020. We havent even seen anything that was approved on Chapek's watch.

If things ever change, we wouldnt even see the results of that until about 2027.

Kathleen Kennedy needs her own Derangement Syndrome. All these "rumors" about how she's totally getting fired and THE WALLS ARE CLOSING IN shit is just sad at this point.

All of the worst things that feminists accuse men of - unearned privilege and advancement, failing up - Kathleen Kennedy is one of the luckiest people to ever live. All for being in the credits for others' legendary work combined with wammin-first obsession, she has had the insane privilege of ruining beloved works and somehow has lunatics simp for her. She's an absolute icon in this regard. She will never be fired.

KK is just once of the many heads of the woke Disney hydra. Even if she's fired, it will not solve the underlying issue. The accelerationist in me actually wants KK to stay in Disney so she can keep contributing to their financial losses.

She already pissed in the franchise punchbowl, it doesn't matter at this point.
Does anyone think next time Disney would pull off a good star wars or Indy sequel even if they fired her? Would you want to reward the company that made it possible for her to do this? She has nothing to do with Marvel movies and look how those turned out.
There's a whole lot of names besides KK that allowed her to do these things and they'll never get rid of them all because they run the company.

[X] Doubt.

She probably has a stack of blackmail material on Disney and Lucas Film execs that make Epstein's little bag of tricks look like an olde timey ice cream social.

She's there until they hang up an "out of business" sign.

She must have refused to cut her hair and graft a dildo to her belly. Can't have that.
