i have such an issue with corporate america,
especially with how i was treated.
if you ever get a boss that was conceived from the pits of hell…
Forget it.
they literally are supervillains who fight the justice league on a nightly basis.
joss whedon seems to be that individual.
there have been a few stories about his alleged nasty behavior on his sets,
especially from charisma carpenter who played “cordeila” on buffy.

sidebar: wasn’t cordeila everything on that show?
she was a feisty and entertaining bitch.
you know i love them.
she spoke up because ray fisher,
who played “cyborg” on justice league,
revealed how he was treated by joss whedon in 2020.
Joss Wheadon’s on-set treatment of the cast and crew of Justice League was gross, abusive, unprofessional, and completely unacceptable.
He was enabled, in many ways, by Geoff Johns and Jon Berg.

gal gadot,
who portrays “wonder woman” aside ray fisher on justice league,
has smoke for joss whedon too…
Gal Gadot is continuing to speak out about her experience Joss Whedon, sharing that the Justice League director made threats to derail her career during reshoots for the film, in which she played Wonder Woman.
“I had my issues with Joss, and I handled it,” Gadot said during an interview with Israeli outlet N12. “He threatened my career and said that if I do something, he will make sure my career is miserable and I took care of it on the spot.”
Gadot has not publicly shared any details about her clash with Whedon but a witness told The Hollywood Reporter of a conflict between the two that allegedly occurred when Gadot questioned some of the new lines added in the script.
“He told her he’s the writer and she’s going to shut up and say the lines and he can make her look incredibly stupid in this movie,” the insider claimed.
Gadot had previously alluded to having problems while working with Whedon, telling the Los Angeles Times that her experience with him “wasn’t the best.” Gadot’s comments came in the context of her voicing support for Ray Fisher, who played Cyborg in Justice League.
…and what is crazy to me is his version of “justice league” was horrendous.
zack snyder,
who they allegedly treated like shit,
got his retribution with his director’s cut on “hbo max”.
we love to see it.
bad behavior always catches up to those who inflict it.
i’m glad we have voices and platforms to expose those who do us wrong.
all we try to do is go to work and make an honest living.
it’s really gross that some bosses take advantage of their powers.
instead of using them for good,
they use them to belittle and destroy those under them.
that ends in this new decade.
we will not work at jobs to be tormented any longer.

I hate that people tried to paint Mr. Fisher as the angry Black man, but now white actors say it, it must be true.
Document EVERYTHING
They said George Floyd died if a medical emergency. Have your phone in your pocket, recording. You need evidence.
It’s your word against theirs. Life is documentation and evidence.
^he was labeled angry?????
Yeah, he was also labeled a liar too. Joss is/was one of those shut and dribble kind of white dudes. He does just enough to get by, always has a token black character on his shows (Buffy, Firefly, Dollhouse and the new HBO one The Nevers) but won’t write for them. The black characters always seem underdeveloped and only seen as side characters if that.
^he was just “there” on joss version of justice league.
snyder gave that character a whole storyline and he was the heart of the movie!!!!
i was shocked at how layered his character and papa pope was.
Yeah, it’s not just Joss unfortunately. It’s most of Hollywood. My Dad still acts and my good friend/Frat brother is on a top cable show. Both have complained that unless we in the writer’s room the characters of color will always be the background or a stereotype (thug #3 or sassy sister/gay or magical black friend). Thankfully both have started to write and or produce their own projects.
^ this is why i want to write my own project and with this era of being able to make a whole show on your phone,
they don’t even need hollywood anymore tbh.
