If you could take over an entertainment company or an IP and do something petty/out of spite like they have done (for example, 2016 Ghostbusters which was a middle finger to real fans or Disney throwing out the EU only to bastardize it). What is 1 to 3 things you would do just to return the pettiness or for revenge?
I would do the following:
Make the Rey "Skywalker" movie and have Rey give up on everything and become a grumpy hermit just to see the critics/shills twist themselves into knots explaining why that was brilliant for Luke but sexist for Rey.
Hire someone to actually adapt Wheel of Time and cast people who look like they are described in the book so I could sit back and laugh at the wailing and gnashing of teeth.
Take over a company that makes romance novels or romance movies and have all the male love interests be balding, overweight, middle aged men who are unemployed. When there is backlash I'll just lecture the women about body positivity and unrealistic expectations.
You want to know what is the fun part? For all of them pushing this sort of stuff, my fiancé just recently discovered Thrawn through second-hand Ahsoka stuff. She like him enough to look up more stuff, and then discovered the Original Thrawn. And now that has become her autistic obsession because she likes the OG more than Disney Thrawn.
This is probably why they try to pretend all of that stuff doesnt exist.
Awesome! Think she will read the other EU stuff? I know people who picked up the LOTR books due to annoyance with Ring of Power as well as Wheel of Time. I bought the Witcher books due to Netflix butchering it
Possibly. I know that she is on Thrawns Origin comic right now, and she seemed interested in some of the other EU characters I talked about like Mara Jade (as well as the Vong as an enemy).
Cool! I think a mature Vong animated series would be cool. NJO. Mara Jade was a great character. Of course there are no female characters lol
