Woke 'League of Their Own' Series Scrapped by Amazon over Writer Strike, Creator Blasts 'Cowardly' Decision
Abbi Jacobson, the star and showrunner of A League of Their Own, is calling Amazon "cowardly" for canceling the show's abbreviated second season and blaming the Hollywood writer's strike.
And surely it has nothing to do with it having some of the worst possible viewership numbers and ratings? How many people even know it was something that existed?
Or that it was another of the endless woke remakes that nobody asked for that injects racial and lgbt crap.
Here's the thing; Barbie did incredibly well while being chock full of woke crap. Why? It was marketed towards women.
The fact is, women want woke. The only reason it ruins superhero movies is because men don't; they'll put up with it to get their laser-explosion fix, but they don't want it. The reason they cram it into those movies is to a) ruin heroic stories and b) feminize men.
Ironically, while women will go see a woke movie because it's something they want, more and more they aren't seeing it again after that first time because they don't actually enjoy it. It's the classic truism of "women don't know what they want".
I've not seen it or much of the promotional material but some people say it was misleadingly marketed. I'm sure the memes, in particular "barbenheimer", helped gin up interest.
That’s true. Exactly what I wasn’t surprised by Barbie. What was funny is how that gay rom com bombed big time. I bet they thought women would go out and see it but they seem to forget women like romance movies/novels where men and women fall in love
Maybe Amazon learned from their recent disasters.
I’m willing to guess this is across the board. Why they can’t understand that lgbt is a niche market is beyond me. Make a specific service or channel for that group. Stop trying to push it out to the masses
C'mon man. You ask this a lot but you already know it's intentional. They do understand but that's irrelevant. The goal is to condition society to believe that queer is normal.
True true. But with the latest woke show getting cancelled at some point you would think that some exec would realize my point.
I’m thinking that too. Hope you are right
It's a niche market for actual viewers but wildly, incredibly popular among decision makers.
I know. I guess every time I see these woke projects fail the logical part of my brain keeps thinking that
Because as we know, if you stomp your feet hard enough literal reality and data will just succumb to your will.
And companies are absolutely required to lose money on your dreams as well.
"JETTISON THE GAY"
Can't sir, levers bent
I ... uhm .. Well .. It's....
Damn, I have lost my ability to can ... again.
Have you considered a career in porn?
[EDIT]a word[/EDIT]
Baseball?
Star AND showrunner!?!?
Have you tried not being shit?
Just kidding, that doesn't matter because you'll just fall upwards or sideways into another gig as long as it supports the correct narrative.
Abbi Jacobson is the daughter of Susan Komm, an artist, and Alan Jacobson, a graphic designer. She is Jewish.
Raging about the people who fired you is traditionally a great way to get hired by anybody ever again in that field.
Good grief.
No shit. I'm not inflicting the horror of actually watching this drek but I kind of wonder how much time they spend playing... baseball.
The Peripheral was cool. Too bad it got cancelled, too. DGAF about League.
