I wish there were more like him in the industry - Lemmy.World

Well… He did more than that…

He also would join up with one of the male writers (who eventually got fired for sexual harassment stuff) specifically to team up against the female writers.

He was also extremely disrespectful of all of the female members of the crew. It got so bad he was fired from the Witcher AND the DCU movies.

Like yes… He cared a lot about the source material and so he fought for it… But the only people he fought were women and the only people he became friends with were sexually harassing women.

Why would you link to an article that just discusses things said on Reddit?
Honestly I’m not sure why it brings up reddit at all since the reddit thread it’s sourcing is just a link to the podcast that started it all. They should’ve just linked to the podcast?? Idk bad sourcing on the articles end.

Seems like everyone agrees that Netflix and the writers behind the show weren’t following the source material very well and were making a lot of bad decisions in terms of show direction.

Cavill is known to want to keep things close to the source material. It seems implied that the “showrunner” and writers were against that attitude, so when he started pushing back, he gets called a misogynist and g*mer for trying redirect the show.

Sounds to me like film industry bullshit and trying to redirect the narrative from someone wanting the show to stay accurate to him being misogynistic simply because he was contradicting a woman.
