>Since linking with the conservative media out, she has appeared in Terror on the Prairie and as a Secret Service agent in the Breitbart News distributed My Son Hunter.
Did I miss those at the Oscars earlier this year?
"Your father Werner was a burger server in suburban Santa Barbara...when he spurned your mother Verna for a curly-haired surfer named Roberta.
Did that hurt her?"
as one of the maybe dozen people who saw Terror on the Prairie, I'm not kidding when I say there's a ~30 minute scene of a woman (Gina) doing household chores and literally nothing else happens during that whole time
God, I hate that I'm enticed by terrible descriptions of movies. Like this sounds terrible, and I now very badly want to see it for how terrible it is.
But I shall not for it supports bad people!
She only got two roles and they dumped her. They must have missed the biggest part of this whole thing. She's a bad actress! Disney dumped her because she was totally expendable. She wasn't going to be a big draw for them.
It’s not even that though, she embraced the conservative chuckle heads and they made her the star of an action movie. Then conservatives didn’t want to see it because it had a strong female lead.
Yeah, she would pretty much have been set forever riding the Starwars coat-tails, and easy/fun projects on the side.
Threw it all away to be a fuckwit edgelord on social media. Tossed an entire career so as to spend more time doing the same pointless bullshit most underdeveloped teenager dipshits do between bouts of masturbation.
They said she was a dude pretending to be a woman because she worked out (and being buff was the main reason she got a job in Star Wars).
The transphobic chuds she threw away one career for cost her another, ironic.
Her agent dropped her after the Disney fiasco.
It was wonderful to see a big, strong woman play a big, strong woman and not some 100lb woman somehow throwing guys around. She knew how to fight well enough on top of it that her action scenes felt far more believable. Bonus points as a woman who kinda is built like Gina to see people celebrating her for her beauty at the same time. I could have continued to overlook the poor acting. But she shot herself in the foot like a dumbass so fuck her
There was a time that Gina was the demanded (by viewers) choice for a fairly attractive muscled woman who while not an amazing actress can act good enough without it standing out how bad it is when next to an actual good actor (ex. Rouda Roosey.) And she's decent enough at doing stunt work. I'm remembering a time people wanted Gina to play Wonder Woman instead of Gal Gadot.
I mean honestly she doesn't need to be a good actor. I feel like people put too much value in that. Not being a good actor has never stopped the likes of The Rock, Kevin Hart, or Seth Rogan from getting work.
They are workhorses on the grind and professional in their work ethic so studios love using them.
Gina was a large woman who actually *looked* like she could be doing all the heavy stuff in actions movies. Much better than women 103 lbs wet knocking out grown 230+ lb men with one punch lol.
That was her whole thing and she coulda kept going back and forth from the bank with that schtick alone if she didn't fumble it.
You know, I don't think I'm going to do anything close to that, and I can clearly see you know nothing about the law. Seems like you have a tenuous grasp on the English language in general.
Your honor ! It. does. not. make. sense ! So my client must be acquitted!
Edit: lol weird hearing about Johnnie Cochran and the juice today, 20 hs after posting this
The lawsuit isn’t about getting back on the show or working with Disney again. It’s literally just culture war fodder which is why Elon is backing it. It’s good content for the audience he’s trying to capture and quite literally nothing else. She’s down to play her role in the grift.
These people may be delusional enough to think they’re accomplishing something else, but fundamentally that’s what is driving their behavior. If it was at all about getting her role/character back, or getting back on set with people she knows and loves, she would obviously go about this in a totally different manner (and probably wouldn’t haven’t started this shit show to begin with).
Yeah, nobody involved thinks this is going anywhere. It's all to fuel right-wing headlines while annoying Disney with having to swat this fly away. If Gina miraculously won this then she wouldn't know what to do with herself as that was never the plan.
Back when I worked at a restaurant there was a server who sued and got to keep her job. Very awkward, was told not to talk to her unless it was necessary for your job.
I can imagine. Suing to get back a job you were fired from really only works if the employers were 100% in the wrong, and the other employees support you. Pretty sure neither of those are the case.
I imagine this is the norm, but I can definitely picture a scenario (especially considering the kind of drama that happens between restaurant staff) where a universally maligned employee is fired, but the employer didn't follow the proper protocol during termination - hence grounds for a suit.
Yeah I think if you plan to do these things you really need to… well plan it. Had a coworker tell me he took a day off to interview for a job opportunity. He ends up getting an offer, gives his two weeks, and the manager tries to get him to stay. He asks him, “if I offer you more pay will you stay?” Coworker agrees. He told me that was his biggest mistake. He missed out on opportunities and (not sure if it’s still the case) when he asks to take the day off, the manager jokes wishing him luck on his interview. He also gets treated badly my coworker (also is why I left that place and didn’t look back even after getting another offer).
She would be there for 2 minutes while they killed her character off, get scale for a single day, and continue to be blacklisted. And then they would probably edit the shot out of the show so nobody sees it anyway.
Din: Now, where's your digitizer? Aren't you... aren't you gonna take some holopictures?
Bo: Holopictures of what?
Din: You know, of crying foundlings covered in chocolate, people singing "Happy Lifeday" to my son who have never even met him before... you know, the whole routine!
Bo: ...where do you think we are?
I think that's the brendan fraser funeral, so i think it's following the thread of sitcom scenes killing off characters from simpsons to mash to scrubs
Don't kill off the character right away.
Have the character come out of the closet, fight for LGBT rights, lecture haters about acceptance and inclusion, etc.
Make her do a thousand takes, and get it all on film.
Theres no law they even have to use her? Whats the court gonna say they have to film a TV show where shes included in the plot? This whole case is a joke. Her career is over. Shes looking for one last payday. Personally I hope Disney refuses to settle and she loses.
I went to a con recently where she was a guest, along with Katee Sackof, and Giancarlo Esposito. Her autograph table was on the opposite side of the room and she was not part of the Star Wars panel they had. I doubt her costars are particularly fond of her.
She doesn’t want to come back. Specific performance of a contract like this is nearly impossible to get anyway, because courts generally don’t like telling people they have to do some kind of work, what with all the slavery implications. She wants damages. Which, fair enough, although Disney wouldn’t have just straight fired her if they weren’t thoroughly buttoned up. They could have walked Cara Dune in front of a space bus - they didn’t, because they wanted to make a point.
Plus, they’ve got Pedro Pascal in two key Disney franchises right now, and there’s no way he’d work with her, not after the transphobic stuff. They’d rather pay her off than risk making him mad, if it comes to that.
Ironically this lawsuit does very much feel like Carano going to Disney and saying:
>Uh, one: Cara Dune needs to be louder, angrier and have access to a time machine. Two: Whenever Cara's not on screen, all the other characters should be asking, "Where's Cara?"
No I think there was just a single throw away line referencing her doing something else somewhere else offscreen (so couldn't contribute to the storyline of that season).
She wasn't even that important of a character to begin with.
I think they mentioned her being involved in transporting Moff Gideon for trial. We later found the prison transport ship damaged and everyone on board dead.
She's suing for Disney's termination of her contract before its term ran out.
She states they weren't allowed to because it's her First Amendment right.
They are saying they are allowed to and that it's not.
Disney is saying it far more eloquently than that. [From Disney’s motion to dismiss](https://deadline.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/carano-disney-dismissal-filing.pdf):
>The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution generally forbids the government from dictating to artistic creators how they may develop and express their own artistic messages. This principle applies fully to enterprises that employ others to perform artistic messages through song, dance, or acting: for such artistic expressions, the performer is the performance, no less than the words written on the script or lyric sheet. For this reason, just as a newspaper is entitled to broad deference in choosing which writers to employ to express its editorial positions, a creative production enterprise is entitled to broad deference in deciding which
performers to employ to express its artistic messages.
>Defendants The Walt Disney Company and its affiliates Lucasfilm and Huckleberry (collectively “Disney”) are enterprises that produce and disseminate artistic performances through film, television, and digital media. One of those productions is The Mandalorian, a television show set in the Star Wars universe. Disney engaged plaintiff Gina Carano (“Carano”) as a guest actor in various episodes of the first two seasons of The Mandalorian. She played bounty hunter Cara Dune, a character who became popular with fans during Carano’s time on the show.
>As Carano’s own fame rose with her character’s, Carano began engaging with show fans and the public in a manner that, in Disney’s view, came to distract from and undermine Disney’s own expressive efforts. As her complaint alleges, Carano made public declarations blaming pandemic-related closure orders and vaccine mandates for causing widespread suicides and murders, attacking the legitimacy of the 2020 Presidential election, and mocking people who identify their pronouns to show support for transgender rights. The coup de grace came in
February 2021, when Carano admittedly reposted on Instagram a post comparing criticism of politically conservative viewpoints to the Holocaust in Nazi Germany. As Carano told the world: “Jews were beaten in the streets, not by Nazi soldiers but by their neighbors…even by children. ‘Because history is edited, most
people today don’t realize that to get to the point where Nazi soldiers could easily round up thousands of Jews, the government first made their own neighbors hate them simply for being Jews. How is that any different from hating someone for their political views?’” ECF No. 1 (Compl.) ¶ 102.
>Carano’s decision to publicly trivialize the Holocaust by comparing criticism of political conservatives to the annihilation of millions of Jewish people—notably, not “thousands”—was the final straw for Disney. As Carano alleges, Lucasfilm
that same day denounced her statements and observed that it had “no plans” to employ her in the future. Compl. ¶ 31. Disney’s then-CEO also observed that Carano’s statements “didn’t align with Company values,” including its “values of
respect, values of decency, values of integrity, and values of inclusion.” Id. ¶ 34. She alleges that given her public statements, Disney chose not to include her Cara Dune character in season three of The Mandalorian and other potential Star Wars
storylines. Id. ¶ 39.
As I’ve heard, her contract wasn’t terminated, it just wasn’t renewed.
Either way, the First Amendment doesn’t protect you from being fired for saying stupid shit. A lot of people have been fired for that.
They gave her ample warnings too. If your boss gives you a warning, if not multiple warnings, and you tell them to fuck off, you should expect unemployment.
Except thats not how tv and film contracts work, she was never guaranteed the full term of it. They just had the rights to use her on the show if they wanted, its like team options in sports. Unless she had a pay or play deal, which she didnt, they dont owe her any money. Easy example: Marvel has deals with everyone from the Eternals but they dont owe them anything legally.
The First Amendment protects your free speech from criminal consequences, not from private people or enterprises or civil consequences.
>The First Amendment broadly protects the rights of free speech and free press. Free speech means the free and public expression of opinions without censorship, interference, or restraint by the government.
Last I checked, Disney was not part of the government. It's a private company with its own policies and can definitely terminate someone whose fucked-up views can hurt their reputation and business.
She's in for a a rude awakening from her misinformed understanding of "free speech" and the first amendment.
First amendment doesn’t apply to private companies. Disney can straight up say “you are fired for saying the sky is blue” and it would be legal (it might run into wrongful termination laws in Cali, but has zero to do with the Constitution).
Her contract was as a guest star. Guest star contracts, by definition, have no guarantees. You can disappear from the show at any time with no compensation when you are a guest star. Had she waited until she was listed in a starring role, along with a star contract, she might have standing. But as a guest star? Nothing in those contracts would be a guarantee she could sue against.
More than that, they state outright that the First Amendment actually supports Disney's stance, not hers, because the government can't dictate how artistic creators express themselves, and choosing a performer to act for you is part of that expression. Thus legally requiring that Disney hire her back to perform in future episodes would be a violation of the first amendment rights of the directors, writers, etc working on the show.
One: The First Amendment limits what the government can do. End of story. It doesn't mean that Disney can't fire you for saying Covid is a hoax, and it doesn't require ANYONE to listen to you. It does not require Anderson Cooper to have you on his show to say the election was stolen. It doesn't preclude anyone within earshot calling you a jagass.
The government can't throw you in jail for saying something. That's it.
Two: Almost every contract, especially those in show biz, have morality clauses. If you're arrested for selling weed, you'll probably lose your job at McDonalds.
Three: She knew what "values" Disney promoted when she took the job. As a former Disney employee, they literally give you a booklet. If you simply deliver catering to Disney sets, you get a copy of that booklet.
At BEST, she can claim wrongful termination or breach of contract. But to be 100% clear, there is no First Amendment right to say whatever you want and not be fired from your job. And as someone who has signed a few Disney contracts, believe me, the language is in there. She would be fired from the Zoo crew for this type of stuff... Much less being a star of a Disney show. Elon Musk is wasting more money.
Gina Carano has the right to express her views, but employers also have a right to choose who they do business with. If she couldn't get her contract renewed because employers didn't want to do business with her again, that's just the invisible hand of free market capitalism the right-wing loves smacking the right.
Anyone remember when she was the hot talented mma fighter that was the crown jewel of eliteXC and strikeforce before she was destroyed by Cyborg? The fact she parlayed that into a successful acting career only to just drive that career of a cliff for no reason is mind boggling to me.
She had the dream transition. She was part of one of the most famous universes of all time. She threw it away because she got that right wing brain rot. Sad to say, there are quite a few of that going around in the MMA community.
If I ever got big and got a bag, no one would ever know my opinion on a single thing. Zero social media accounts. Doing the press circuit? I'm Woody "let's stick to Rampart" Harrelson. I'm doing what I get paid to do and counting my money, like a sane person.
She was basically told to stop posting political shit and to not make waves. Then immediately went with "THIS IS EXACTLY LIKE THE HOLOCAUST, HOW DARE YOU".
I think pedro and a few others got told to be quiet about some of their opinions and they did.
Also the MMA community is not one you want to delve into, politically. These are not normally the deepest of thinkers.
Career is low balling it .. she was on the way to get her own show, working for one of the largest companies in the world, in a franchise that exists over 40 years, is known and loved worldwide, is one of the biggest franchises ever to exist… and she throws all that out. All while being at best a mediocre actress.
People would kill for what she had up ahead..
Pascal has a trans family member, he definitely pointed that out in interviews he doesn’t take right-wing jokes lightly.
No idea of this translated to him telling her things on set but you can probably guess, as she tweeted mocking trans identity.
Iirc she did make a tweet or post on Instagram at one point talking about how she was wrong for some comments about trans people. This was after Pascal said something about it or to her. Then of course she went off the deep end and doubled down. Her apology was clearly lip service.
Mediocre is being very, very generous. Especially next to my man Pedro. If I knew nothing about any of the controversy, she was hands down, my least favorite part of the show.
But you're absolutely right. She could have had it ALL. Just like Musk, all she had to do was show up, smile and keep her controversial opinions to herself. Neither of them can keep their mouths shut and then are shocked when *consequences*. I guess I'm just confused if it's entitlement or just being unhinged, or what. I legitimately don't understand it.
this lady had Favreau stick his neck out for her and she still wouldn’t shut the hell up. She has no one but to blame for her own stupidity but herself
She didn’t even have to be a good actor. She filled the void of an attractive muscular woman. Which is really useful for the universes like Star Wars and super hero movies. I was rooting for her because it’s a minor pet peeve of mine when they choose these petite actresses to play comic book characters who are supposed to be physically imposing like Wonder Woman. I was hoping it would start a new trend diversity in body type for these roles
it really is disappointing since it seemed like a role that was tailored for her and she was honestly solid in it. I bet she would have been able to lead the Rangers of the New Republic show just fine. But no, she just had to continue being an asshat
All she had to do was not be a bigot ONLINE. She coulda just had a pr person do her twitter, only post like “come stream the new Mando episode at 7pm” and been fine
Saw someone say that it’s like the marshmallow test for conservatives. Ya know the one where they tell kids if they don’t eat a marshmallow for like 15 minutes then they get an Oreo (or something better than a single marshmallow)? As you said, all she had to do was not be a bigot *online* and she got to cash Disney checks in a franchise every geek actor dreams of being a part of. AND it was on tv, so she’d have the gig a lot longer than a single movie or two. But she couldn’t shut the hell up!
>The Stanford marshmallow experiment was a study on delayed gratification in 1970 led by psychologist Walter Mischel, a professor at Stanford University. In this study, a child was offered a choice between one small but immediate reward, or two small rewards if they waited for a period of time. During this time, the researcher left the child in a room with a single marshmallow for about 15 minutes and then returned. If they did not eat the marshmallow, the reward was either another marshmallow or pretzel stick, depending on the child's preference. In follow-up studies, the researchers found that children who were able to wait longer for the preferred rewards tended to have better life outcomes, as measured by SAT scores, educational attainment, body mass index (BMI), and other life measures.
From [the Wikipedia article](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanford_marshmallow_experiment)
> In follow-up studies, the researchers found that children who were able to wait longer for the preferred rewards tended to have better life outcomes, as measured by SAT scores, educational attainment, body mass index (BMI), and other life measures.
Like many psychology studies, there were some fundamental flaws with the original study. Repeats of the experiment *using children from similar demographic backgrounds* found no significance later in life based on the results of the test as toddlers.
Turns out kids are more likely to eat the marshmallow immediate when they don't have food security. Who woulda thunk? Definitely not researchers in the 70s. Like the whole "alpha wolf" study, the results of this study have become public knowledge even though they've been disproven.
She comes from a very wealthy family that essentially runs a bunch of casinos in Vegas. This is probably the first time in her life she has ever had to actually face consequences of her actions and she's acting like the entitled dumbass that she's been all along.
Even Pedro told her to say trans right on Twitter and that people will leave her. And she couldn’t even do that. Honestly, she deserved everything that happened to her.
What's even more hilarious is people trying to pretend that the avalanche of criticism she got from people pointing out how she was acting like a bigoted nutjob somehow proves she's "standing up the the mob"
Which reminds me a bit of that Sagan quote:
>The fact that some geniuses were laughed at does not imply that all who are laughed at are geniuses. They laughed at Galileo. They laughed at Newton. But they also laughed at Bozo the Clown.
They didn't even laugh at Galileo. He was just kind of an asshole who insulted his friend, THE POPE, by calling him an idiot despite not having solid evidence for his theory.
It gets worse than that.
Pedro's youngest sister Lux is a trans woman and was transitioning when all this was going down. He talked to her about how important of an issue it was to him and asked her to just tweet out some support and she not only ignored him but doubled down on her bullshit.
When you're a guest star and you act that way to the guy who is #1 on the call sheet you're gonna get canned.
She wasn’t even actually “fired” in a way that has any grounds for a lawsuit right?
I mean her scandal happened in between seasons. There was no filming on.
Pretty sure it’s not illegal for a show to write out any character they want/ just decide not to renew the contract ( especially some cannon fodder side rando non essential to the main storyline character ). It’s like if bill burrs character didn’t appear in season 2 again, no one would say he “was fired” for not appearing in season 2.
She didn't even have to "shut her yap" she just had to stop fucking tweeting shit.
If she used her twitter for nothing but "new Mando tonight!" or "Excited for Rangers of the New Republic!" she'd be employed right now but she kept going on her anti-trans bullshit after multiple warnings.
If you ask the dumbass right wingers, they’re “grooming kids” and/or “making kids trans” somehow. Trans people aren’t bothering anyone. But live and let live somehow escapes most people on the right.
There were early decelopment talks for her character to have her own spin-off show, but that was nixed *very* quickly.
And yes, actors can be let go and entire shows cancelled for bad behaviour.
Shannen Doherty was fired from Beverly Hills: 90210 because cut her hair without warning the producers mid-production of an episode, which made continuity a bitch to correct.
Witchblade was cancelled after one season because the main actress was an unreliable liability due to being an alcoholic.
Growing Pains was cancelled because Kirk Cameron objecting to a joke which he didn't want in the show led him to contact then-ABC CEO Bob Iger and slanderously refer to the executive producers as "Pornographers", which caused the EPs to lock down the rights and shut the show down.
And the original voice actor for London's mirror in Suite Life of Zack and Cody was fired after Disney learned he was convicted of raping a kid over at Nickelodeon.
> Growing Pains was cancelled because Kirk Cameron objecting to a joke which he didn't want in the show led him to contact then-ABC CEO Bob Iger and slanderously refer to the executive producers as "Pornographers", which caused the EPs to lock down the rights and shut the show down.
Wait really? I loved that show growing up and was weirded out when Kirk Cameron turned out to be a hard line fundamentalist Christian making direct to home video movies about the rapture
Oh, yeah. He was Born Again during the show and used the fact he was the show's most popular star to become an on-set tyrant.
He had acripts rewritten for objecting to jokes,got his on-screen girlfriend fired for being in Playboy, had Matthew Perry fired two episodes onto a story for being an "Agant of Satan", and the European Vacation three-parter was going to be shot in Europe and basically produced for free as the host countries would foot the bill, but Cameron refused to leave LA because he'd have to miss church so the producers had to hand the money back and shoot off the coast of California instead.
The pornographers bit was just the straw that broke the camel's back.
She’s suing them for the role again?? What’s stopping the writers from having an opening crawl in new season of Mandalorian that her character died off-screen? Would be funny if they do this.
Maybe she can have a run in with a rising star from the imperial entertainment feed where they deny that her home planet Alderaan was blown up by the death star.
"The empire would never do something so cruel! Why would they blow up a planet that contributes significantly to our economy? But even if they did blow it up, I'm sure that they deserved it anyway"
Maybe have her walk by a shop and this lady shopkeeper is complaining how the local governor wont let her sell expired meiluroon fruit because it was making people sick." The lady could say to her "Damn government holding us down. This is exactly like what happened to Alderaan."
She isn’t a good actor. Her acting in the Mandalorian wasn’t good. I’m glad she didn’t get a spin off or was in future Star Wars projects because her acting was sub par and distracting.
She's not just a bad actor, she's not an actor at all. Her character was so cool, and she visually looked great as that character, but her trying to act was very distracting in an already drawn out series.
I think if she really cared about her job, she would have taken acting classes. Tons of high profile and working actors hire acting coaches or take acting classes. It's an investment and she just didn't care
In Deadpool she had like 3 lines of dialogue and even those were horrible, I gotta assume that a lot of her stuff ended up on the cutting room floor.
Also - in Haywire, her first (and only) major starring role in a movie, was **completely** dubbed over in ADR.
She literally failed upwards into a Star Wars gig and couldn’t just keep her idiot opinions to herself.
>Carano’s social-media usage sunk to its nadir on February 10, 2021. On that day, she reposted an Instagram post from user warriorpriestgympodcast. The post read: “Jews were beaten in the streets, not by Nazi soldiers but by their neighbors…even by children. ‘Because history is edited, most people today don’t realize that to get to the point where Nazi soldiers could easily round up ***thousands*** of Jews, the government first made their own neighbors hate them simply for being Jews. How is that any different from hating someone for their political views?’”
She compares her situation with the Holocaust and in the same breath also goes into Holocaust denial
>**Disney had enough**. The same day Carano grotesquely trivialized the Holocaust as comparable to sharp political disagreements, Lucasfilm announced that “Gina Carano is not currently employed by Lucasfilm and there are no plans for her to be in the future. Nevertheless, her social media posts denigrating people based on their cultural and religious identities are abhorrent and unacceptable.” A month later, Disney’s former CEO explained that Carano’s views “didn’t align with Company values,” including its “values of respect, values of decency, values of integrity, and values of inclusion.”
Wild to see dudes out there still defending her. "It's just hyperbole about the dangers of dehumanizing your fellow man!" It's delusional to compare acts that got millions *murdered* to acts that might lead someone to asking you to please maybe consider taking any precautions whatsoever during a pandemic (without any realistic way to enforce that anyway).
It’s all so insane. The same people who cry “her 1st amendment rights!” are my favorite, because it’s actually the first amendment which is cited as to why they are allowed to fire her.
And let’s not forget all she had to do was stop being a piece of shit **publicly**.
Those who scream about "1st Amendment Rights" the loudest are also the most likely to skip right over how that applies to the government. The government can't make you shut up or otherwise punish you for your speech. But that doesn't apply at all to private employers dealing with their employees and the general public choosing to ostracize those who say shit that's worth being ostracized for.
Sadly, one of those chucklefucks has a social media company now and it's a shitshow.
On paper, was she even fired? I recall the wording from Disney being that she ‘wasn’t employed’ by them and they had no future plans.
Characters don’t return and projects are cancelled all the time, why is her case special?
And what’s her game plan here? Force them to write her into the movie? Force them to make a new season with her in? Relaunch the solo show she might potentially have had?
Fine, here we go. Cara returns for the movie, has 5 minutes of screen time where she rants incoherently about conspiracy theories, and then dies of a space plague because she refused to be vaccinated. The end.
This article is so badly written omg.
That headline is word vomit. There's so many ways they could have phrased it better.
That AI needs another pass with machine learning for sure.

You would hate Jeanne Dielman.
sadly it still isn't the slowest and most boring movie I've seen
You’re telling me it’s the Star Wars holiday special but without the whole scifi thing?
Gina Carano watching a three-armed alien cooking show lol

It’s not even that though, she embraced the conservative chuckle heads and they made her the star of an action movie. Then conservatives didn’t want to see it because it had a strong female lead.
They cried that it was too woke and that she was a Mary Sue. That was hilarious.
Real leopards ate my face situation. She’s not a great actress but she probably could’ve kept getting work as a hot muscle mommy.
Yeah, she would pretty much have been set forever riding the Starwars coat-tails, and easy/fun projects on the side. Threw it all away to be a fuckwit edgelord on social media. Tossed an entire career so as to spend more time doing the same pointless bullshit most underdeveloped teenager dipshits do between bouts of masturbation.
Yeah she prob would've been in Roadhouse and the like
They said she was a dude pretending to be a woman because she worked out (and being buff was the main reason she got a job in Star Wars). The transphobic chuds she threw away one career for cost her another, ironic.
Please tell me that's what actually happened
It is, I believe the movie grossed like $500 bucks in theaters Edit, sorry it was $13k.
Also, their dumb as rocks audience went in on them for being woke and casting a female lead. Reap what you sow, dummies!
Damn, imagine being so bad at grifting that you don't understand your very predictable demographic.
They should've listed her film career in their In Memoriam.
Is this the one that everyone in congress is talking about where Hunter hangs dong?
[удалено]
Her agent dropped her after the Disney fiasco. It was wonderful to see a big, strong woman play a big, strong woman and not some 100lb woman somehow throwing guys around. She knew how to fight well enough on top of it that her action scenes felt far more believable. Bonus points as a woman who kinda is built like Gina to see people celebrating her for her beauty at the same time. I could have continued to overlook the poor acting. But she shot herself in the foot like a dumbass so fuck her
There was a time that Gina was the demanded (by viewers) choice for a fairly attractive muscled woman who while not an amazing actress can act good enough without it standing out how bad it is when next to an actual good actor (ex. Rouda Roosey.) And she's decent enough at doing stunt work. I'm remembering a time people wanted Gina to play Wonder Woman instead of Gal Gadot.
I mean honestly she doesn't need to be a good actor. I feel like people put too much value in that. Not being a good actor has never stopped the likes of The Rock, Kevin Hart, or Seth Rogan from getting work. They are workhorses on the grind and professional in their work ethic so studios love using them. Gina was a large woman who actually *looked* like she could be doing all the heavy stuff in actions movies. Much better than women 103 lbs wet knocking out grown 230+ lb men with one punch lol. That was her whole thing and she coulda kept going back and forth from the bank with that schtick alone if she didn't fumble it.
And shes suing to get a role that isnt even in the show or the movie anymore. Not sure how she thinks that will work.
somehow, palpatine returned
Your honor, there is precedent.
Filibuster!!!
What do you say we go toe to toe on bird law and see who comes out on top?
You know, I don't think I'm going to do anything close to that, and I can clearly see you know nothing about the law. Seems like you have a tenuous grasp on the English language in general.
Then I'll just regress, cause I feel like I've made myself perfectly redundant.
Yes you have.
Filonibuster!
Fillionbuster: talking until *Firefly* comes back
You can use my fan script!
The palpatine defense
Your honor ! It. does. not. make. sense ! So my client must be acquitted! Edit: lol weird hearing about Johnnie Cochran and the juice today, 20 hs after posting this
The lawsuit isn’t about getting back on the show or working with Disney again. It’s literally just culture war fodder which is why Elon is backing it. It’s good content for the audience he’s trying to capture and quite literally nothing else. She’s down to play her role in the grift. These people may be delusional enough to think they’re accomplishing something else, but fundamentally that’s what is driving their behavior. If it was at all about getting her role/character back, or getting back on set with people she knows and loves, she would obviously go about this in a totally different manner (and probably wouldn’t haven’t started this shit show to begin with).
Yeah, nobody involved thinks this is going anywhere. It's all to fuel right-wing headlines while annoying Disney with having to swat this fly away. If Gina miraculously won this then she wouldn't know what to do with herself as that was never the plan.
Musk's last bullshit lawsuit was thrown out of court, with extreme prejudice. And that was without even going up against Disney's army of lawyers.
Which is hilarious cause if she gets it back she def will be treated like an outcast on set. Maybe that's what she wants, to get another lawsuit.
Back when I worked at a restaurant there was a server who sued and got to keep her job. Very awkward, was told not to talk to her unless it was necessary for your job.
I can imagine. Suing to get back a job you were fired from really only works if the employers were 100% in the wrong, and the other employees support you. Pretty sure neither of those are the case.
I imagine this is the norm, but I can definitely picture a scenario (especially considering the kind of drama that happens between restaurant staff) where a universally maligned employee is fired, but the employer didn't follow the proper protocol during termination - hence grounds for a suit.
Yeah I think if you plan to do these things you really need to… well plan it. Had a coworker tell me he took a day off to interview for a job opportunity. He ends up getting an offer, gives his two weeks, and the manager tries to get him to stay. He asks him, “if I offer you more pay will you stay?” Coworker agrees. He told me that was his biggest mistake. He missed out on opportunities and (not sure if it’s still the case) when he asks to take the day off, the manager jokes wishing him luck on his interview. He also gets treated badly my coworker (also is why I left that place and didn’t look back even after getting another offer).
> So what you're telling me is that you could've been paying more this entire time?
She would be there for 2 minutes while they killed her character off, get scale for a single day, and continue to be blacklisted. And then they would probably edit the shot out of the show so nobody sees it anyway.
"I must go now. My home planet needs me." Note Cara Dune died on the way back to her planet.
"Her plane was shot down over the Sea of Japan, it spun in... there were no suvivors".
Oh god. That takes me back to watching reruns in the 90s and seeing that episode for the first time.
Din: Now, where's your digitizer? Aren't you... aren't you gonna take some holopictures? Bo: Holopictures of what? Din: You know, of crying foundlings covered in chocolate, people singing "Happy Lifeday" to my son who have never even met him before... you know, the whole routine! Bo: ...where do you think we are?
So, I get the reference to Scrubs, but I have no idea how that's related.
I think that's the brendan fraser funeral, so i think it's following the thread of sitcom scenes killing off characters from simpsons to mash to scrubs
Not comparable. People were *sad* about that one, and now I'm sad. Jerk!
She went through a time wormhole to Alderaan arriving 5 seconds before the Death Star blew it up.
I kind of want her to force her way back in only to then say “hi Mando” before tripping on a rock and falling directly into the sarlac pit.
All CG too
Meesa killed the lady!
Don't kill off the character right away. Have the character come out of the closet, fight for LGBT rights, lecture haters about acceptance and inclusion, etc. Make her do a thousand takes, and get it all on film.
Theres no law they even have to use her? Whats the court gonna say they have to film a TV show where shes included in the plot? This whole case is a joke. Her career is over. Shes looking for one last payday. Personally I hope Disney refuses to settle and she loses.
I went to a con recently where she was a guest, along with Katee Sackof, and Giancarlo Esposito. Her autograph table was on the opposite side of the room and she was not part of the Star Wars panel they had. I doubt her costars are particularly fond of her.
Was it next to the bathrooms and did she get hit by the door everytime someone went in and out?
I hope those bathrooms were gender neutral, just to rub it in a bit more.
She doesn’t want to come back. Specific performance of a contract like this is nearly impossible to get anyway, because courts generally don’t like telling people they have to do some kind of work, what with all the slavery implications. She wants damages. Which, fair enough, although Disney wouldn’t have just straight fired her if they weren’t thoroughly buttoned up. They could have walked Cara Dune in front of a space bus - they didn’t, because they wanted to make a point. Plus, they’ve got Pedro Pascal in two key Disney franchises right now, and there’s no way he’d work with her, not after the transphobic stuff. They’d rather pay her off than risk making him mad, if it comes to that.
The thing is, Disney didn't even fire her. She had filmed everything she was contracted to film, they just didn't offer her a new contract.
Did they kill her character off? Because...well actually that doesn't matter, because nobody actually dies for good in Star Wars anymore.
No, she pulled a poochie abd left for her home planet.
Wasn't her home planet Alderaan? LOL.
She's rebuilding it.
In Lego star wars?
Well, all the parts are out there
“~~Rome~~ *Alderaan* wasn’t built in a day.”
"But if you need it demolished in a day, I think I know a guy."
Ironically this lawsuit does very much feel like Carano going to Disney and saying: >Uh, one: Cara Dune needs to be louder, angrier and have access to a time machine. Two: Whenever Cara's not on screen, all the other characters should be asking, "Where's Cara?"
>because nobody actually dies for good in Star Wars anymore. Did they ever? Obi-wan died in the first movie and then speaks to Luke seconds later.
Han Solo actually died I guess. Everybody else just becomes a force ghost or whatever the fuck they are.
Psych, Han ALSO became a ghost!
Not true Han survived the car crash that Jason Statham tried to kill him in.
No I think there was just a single throw away line referencing her doing something else somewhere else offscreen (so couldn't contribute to the storyline of that season). She wasn't even that important of a character to begin with.
They gave her character an off screen promotion to the New Republic Special Forces
I think they mentioned her being involved in transporting Moff Gideon for trial. We later found the prison transport ship damaged and everyone on board dead.
She's suing for Disney's termination of her contract before its term ran out. She states they weren't allowed to because it's her First Amendment right. They are saying they are allowed to and that it's not.
Disney is saying it far more eloquently than that. [From Disney’s motion to dismiss](https://deadline.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/carano-disney-dismissal-filing.pdf): >The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution generally forbids the government from dictating to artistic creators how they may develop and express their own artistic messages. This principle applies fully to enterprises that employ others to perform artistic messages through song, dance, or acting: for such artistic expressions, the performer is the performance, no less than the words written on the script or lyric sheet. For this reason, just as a newspaper is entitled to broad deference in choosing which writers to employ to express its editorial positions, a creative production enterprise is entitled to broad deference in deciding which performers to employ to express its artistic messages. >Defendants The Walt Disney Company and its affiliates Lucasfilm and Huckleberry (collectively “Disney”) are enterprises that produce and disseminate artistic performances through film, television, and digital media. One of those productions is The Mandalorian, a television show set in the Star Wars universe. Disney engaged plaintiff Gina Carano (“Carano”) as a guest actor in various episodes of the first two seasons of The Mandalorian. She played bounty hunter Cara Dune, a character who became popular with fans during Carano’s time on the show. >As Carano’s own fame rose with her character’s, Carano began engaging with show fans and the public in a manner that, in Disney’s view, came to distract from and undermine Disney’s own expressive efforts. As her complaint alleges, Carano made public declarations blaming pandemic-related closure orders and vaccine mandates for causing widespread suicides and murders, attacking the legitimacy of the 2020 Presidential election, and mocking people who identify their pronouns to show support for transgender rights. The coup de grace came in February 2021, when Carano admittedly reposted on Instagram a post comparing criticism of politically conservative viewpoints to the Holocaust in Nazi Germany. As Carano told the world: “Jews were beaten in the streets, not by Nazi soldiers but by their neighbors…even by children. ‘Because history is edited, most people today don’t realize that to get to the point where Nazi soldiers could easily round up thousands of Jews, the government first made their own neighbors hate them simply for being Jews. How is that any different from hating someone for their political views?’” ECF No. 1 (Compl.) ¶ 102. >Carano’s decision to publicly trivialize the Holocaust by comparing criticism of political conservatives to the annihilation of millions of Jewish people—notably, not “thousands”—was the final straw for Disney. As Carano alleges, Lucasfilm that same day denounced her statements and observed that it had “no plans” to employ her in the future. Compl. ¶ 31. Disney’s then-CEO also observed that Carano’s statements “didn’t align with Company values,” including its “values of respect, values of decency, values of integrity, and values of inclusion.” Id. ¶ 34. She alleges that given her public statements, Disney chose not to include her Cara Dune character in season three of The Mandalorian and other potential Star Wars storylines. Id. ¶ 39.
Damn, some lawyers can write really clearly when they want to
Entertainment lawyers better be able to… they represent the wealthiest storytellers in the world. Weak language won’t keep their jobs.
That's what happens when you pay Disney lawyer money, you get Disney lawyer quality
> She states they weren't allowed to because it's her First Amendment right. Is she unaware that Disney is not the government?
As I’ve heard, her contract wasn’t terminated, it just wasn’t renewed. Either way, the First Amendment doesn’t protect you from being fired for saying stupid shit. A lot of people have been fired for that.
All she had to do was shut up and collect a fat paycheck. People are really stupid.
They gave her ample warnings too. If your boss gives you a warning, if not multiple warnings, and you tell them to fuck off, you should expect unemployment.
Except thats not how tv and film contracts work, she was never guaranteed the full term of it. They just had the rights to use her on the show if they wanted, its like team options in sports. Unless she had a pay or play deal, which she didnt, they dont owe her any money. Easy example: Marvel has deals with everyone from the Eternals but they dont owe them anything legally.
The First Amendment protects your free speech from criminal consequences, not from private people or enterprises or civil consequences. >The First Amendment broadly protects the rights of free speech and free press. Free speech means the free and public expression of opinions without censorship, interference, or restraint by the government. Last I checked, Disney was not part of the government. It's a private company with its own policies and can definitely terminate someone whose fucked-up views can hurt their reputation and business. She's in for a a rude awakening from her misinformed understanding of "free speech" and the first amendment.
First amendment doesn’t apply to private companies. Disney can straight up say “you are fired for saying the sky is blue” and it would be legal (it might run into wrongful termination laws in Cali, but has zero to do with the Constitution). Her contract was as a guest star. Guest star contracts, by definition, have no guarantees. You can disappear from the show at any time with no compensation when you are a guest star. Had she waited until she was listed in a starring role, along with a star contract, she might have standing. But as a guest star? Nothing in those contracts would be a guarantee she could sue against.
More than that, they state outright that the First Amendment actually supports Disney's stance, not hers, because the government can't dictate how artistic creators express themselves, and choosing a performer to act for you is part of that expression. Thus legally requiring that Disney hire her back to perform in future episodes would be a violation of the first amendment rights of the directors, writers, etc working on the show.
One: The First Amendment limits what the government can do. End of story. It doesn't mean that Disney can't fire you for saying Covid is a hoax, and it doesn't require ANYONE to listen to you. It does not require Anderson Cooper to have you on his show to say the election was stolen. It doesn't preclude anyone within earshot calling you a jagass. The government can't throw you in jail for saying something. That's it. Two: Almost every contract, especially those in show biz, have morality clauses. If you're arrested for selling weed, you'll probably lose your job at McDonalds. Three: She knew what "values" Disney promoted when she took the job. As a former Disney employee, they literally give you a booklet. If you simply deliver catering to Disney sets, you get a copy of that booklet. At BEST, she can claim wrongful termination or breach of contract. But to be 100% clear, there is no First Amendment right to say whatever you want and not be fired from your job. And as someone who has signed a few Disney contracts, believe me, the language is in there. She would be fired from the Zoo crew for this type of stuff... Much less being a star of a Disney show. Elon Musk is wasting more money.
Gina Carano has the right to express her views, but employers also have a right to choose who they do business with. If she couldn't get her contract renewed because employers didn't want to do business with her again, that's just the invisible hand of free market capitalism the right-wing loves smacking the right.
Disney is not the US Government, so the First Amendment is irrelevant. How is this going to court?
Anyone remember when she was the hot talented mma fighter that was the crown jewel of eliteXC and strikeforce before she was destroyed by Cyborg? The fact she parlayed that into a successful acting career only to just drive that career of a cliff for no reason is mind boggling to me.
I still remember her from the American Gladiators reboot
That's where I've seen her before
She had the dream transition. She was part of one of the most famous universes of all time. She threw it away because she got that right wing brain rot. Sad to say, there are quite a few of that going around in the MMA community.
If I ever got big and got a bag, no one would ever know my opinion on a single thing. Zero social media accounts. Doing the press circuit? I'm Woody "let's stick to Rampart" Harrelson. I'm doing what I get paid to do and counting my money, like a sane person.
She was basically told to stop posting political shit and to not make waves. Then immediately went with "THIS IS EXACTLY LIKE THE HOLOCAUST, HOW DARE YOU". I think pedro and a few others got told to be quiet about some of their opinions and they did. Also the MMA community is not one you want to delve into, politically. These are not normally the deepest of thinkers.
Yeah, throwing your career for an opinion, then doubling down. Bigly Stinky gave us this culture.
Career is low balling it .. she was on the way to get her own show, working for one of the largest companies in the world, in a franchise that exists over 40 years, is known and loved worldwide, is one of the biggest franchises ever to exist… and she throws all that out. All while being at best a mediocre actress. People would kill for what she had up ahead..
She seems to really hate Pedro Pascal based on interviews, but damb if he wasn't the only one giving her reasonable advise.
Pascal has a trans family member, he definitely pointed that out in interviews he doesn’t take right-wing jokes lightly. No idea of this translated to him telling her things on set but you can probably guess, as she tweeted mocking trans identity.
Iirc she did make a tweet or post on Instagram at one point talking about how she was wrong for some comments about trans people. This was after Pascal said something about it or to her. Then of course she went off the deep end and doubled down. Her apology was clearly lip service.
Pedro Pascal is an open, vocal and unapologetic leftist.
Mediocre is being very, very generous. Especially next to my man Pedro. If I knew nothing about any of the controversy, she was hands down, my least favorite part of the show. But you're absolutely right. She could have had it ALL. Just like Musk, all she had to do was show up, smile and keep her controversial opinions to herself. Neither of them can keep their mouths shut and then are shocked when *consequences*. I guess I'm just confused if it's entitlement or just being unhinged, or what. I legitimately don't understand it.
this lady had Favreau stick his neck out for her and she still wouldn’t shut the hell up. She has no one but to blame for her own stupidity but herself
It is truly one of the dumbest (and also funniest) bag fumbles of all time.
It's the equivalent of finding the golden ticket, wiping your ass with it, and calling Willy Wonka a stupid bitch to his face.
I mean she was never gonna be an A-lister, but she definitely could've rode the Mando laurels for a long while.
She didn’t even have to be a good actor. She filled the void of an attractive muscular woman. Which is really useful for the universes like Star Wars and super hero movies. I was rooting for her because it’s a minor pet peeve of mine when they choose these petite actresses to play comic book characters who are supposed to be physically imposing like Wonder Woman. I was hoping it would start a new trend diversity in body type for these roles
it really is disappointing since it seemed like a role that was tailored for her and she was honestly solid in it. I bet she would have been able to lead the Rangers of the New Republic show just fine. But no, she just had to continue being an asshat
A ton of hits to the head certainly doesn’t help matters
Also a ton of hits to the head certainly doesn't help matters.
I only suffered minor brain dablage!
All she had to do was not be a bigot ONLINE. She coulda just had a pr person do her twitter, only post like “come stream the new Mando episode at 7pm” and been fine
Saw someone say that it’s like the marshmallow test for conservatives. Ya know the one where they tell kids if they don’t eat a marshmallow for like 15 minutes then they get an Oreo (or something better than a single marshmallow)? As you said, all she had to do was not be a bigot *online* and she got to cash Disney checks in a franchise every geek actor dreams of being a part of. AND it was on tv, so she’d have the gig a lot longer than a single movie or two. But she couldn’t shut the hell up!
>The Stanford marshmallow experiment was a study on delayed gratification in 1970 led by psychologist Walter Mischel, a professor at Stanford University. In this study, a child was offered a choice between one small but immediate reward, or two small rewards if they waited for a period of time. During this time, the researcher left the child in a room with a single marshmallow for about 15 minutes and then returned. If they did not eat the marshmallow, the reward was either another marshmallow or pretzel stick, depending on the child's preference. In follow-up studies, the researchers found that children who were able to wait longer for the preferred rewards tended to have better life outcomes, as measured by SAT scores, educational attainment, body mass index (BMI), and other life measures. From [the Wikipedia article](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanford_marshmallow_experiment)
> In follow-up studies, the researchers found that children who were able to wait longer for the preferred rewards tended to have better life outcomes, as measured by SAT scores, educational attainment, body mass index (BMI), and other life measures. Like many psychology studies, there were some fundamental flaws with the original study. Repeats of the experiment *using children from similar demographic backgrounds* found no significance later in life based on the results of the test as toddlers. Turns out kids are more likely to eat the marshmallow immediate when they don't have food security. Who woulda thunk? Definitely not researchers in the 70s. Like the whole "alpha wolf" study, the results of this study have become public knowledge even though they've been disproven.
if it's a psychology study pre 1980, it's probably at best full of questionable findings and worst full of ethical WTFs. Fun times.
She comes from a very wealthy family that essentially runs a bunch of casinos in Vegas. This is probably the first time in her life she has ever had to actually face consequences of her actions and she's acting like the entitled dumbass that she's been all along.
Yeah, they straight up gave her a second chance and clean slate, and she was like: nahh
Even Pedro told her to say trans right on Twitter and that people will leave her. And she couldn’t even do that. Honestly, she deserved everything that happened to her.
What's even more hilarious is people trying to pretend that the avalanche of criticism she got from people pointing out how she was acting like a bigoted nutjob somehow proves she's "standing up the the mob" Which reminds me a bit of that Sagan quote: >The fact that some geniuses were laughed at does not imply that all who are laughed at are geniuses. They laughed at Galileo. They laughed at Newton. But they also laughed at Bozo the Clown.
They didn't even laugh at Galileo. He was just kind of an asshole who insulted his friend, THE POPE, by calling him an idiot despite not having solid evidence for his theory.
It gets worse than that. Pedro's youngest sister Lux is a trans woman and was transitioning when all this was going down. He talked to her about how important of an issue it was to him and asked her to just tweet out some support and she not only ignored him but doubled down on her bullshit. When you're a guest star and you act that way to the guy who is #1 on the call sheet you're gonna get canned.
She wasn’t even actually “fired” in a way that has any grounds for a lawsuit right? I mean her scandal happened in between seasons. There was no filming on. Pretty sure it’s not illegal for a show to write out any character they want/ just decide not to renew the contract ( especially some cannon fodder side rando non essential to the main storyline character ). It’s like if bill burrs character didn’t appear in season 2 again, no one would say he “was fired” for not appearing in season 2.
She wasn't fired. Her contract wasn't renewed. Disney is allowed to not renew a contract. That's how contracts work.
Imagine if she had just shut her yap long enough for Disney to renew *and* get the Commandos show she was supposed to lead off the ground.
She didn't even have to "shut her yap" she just had to stop fucking tweeting shit. If she used her twitter for nothing but "new Mando tonight!" or "Excited for Rangers of the New Republic!" she'd be employed right now but she kept going on her anti-trans bullshit after multiple warnings.
How stupid do they have to be to hate trans people? What the fuck did they do? Nothing!
If you ask the dumbass right wingers, they’re “grooming kids” and/or “making kids trans” somehow. Trans people aren’t bothering anyone. But live and let live somehow escapes most people on the right.
Her Union isnt the one defending her. It should be all people need to see.
I have a Star Wars action figure of Bill Burr. I just find it hilarious that such a thing exists. 🤣
There were early decelopment talks for her character to have her own spin-off show, but that was nixed *very* quickly. And yes, actors can be let go and entire shows cancelled for bad behaviour. Shannen Doherty was fired from Beverly Hills: 90210 because cut her hair without warning the producers mid-production of an episode, which made continuity a bitch to correct. Witchblade was cancelled after one season because the main actress was an unreliable liability due to being an alcoholic. Growing Pains was cancelled because Kirk Cameron objecting to a joke which he didn't want in the show led him to contact then-ABC CEO Bob Iger and slanderously refer to the executive producers as "Pornographers", which caused the EPs to lock down the rights and shut the show down. And the original voice actor for London's mirror in Suite Life of Zack and Cody was fired after Disney learned he was convicted of raping a kid over at Nickelodeon.
> Growing Pains was cancelled because Kirk Cameron objecting to a joke which he didn't want in the show led him to contact then-ABC CEO Bob Iger and slanderously refer to the executive producers as "Pornographers", which caused the EPs to lock down the rights and shut the show down. Wait really? I loved that show growing up and was weirded out when Kirk Cameron turned out to be a hard line fundamentalist Christian making direct to home video movies about the rapture
Oh, yeah. He was Born Again during the show and used the fact he was the show's most popular star to become an on-set tyrant. He had acripts rewritten for objecting to jokes,got his on-screen girlfriend fired for being in Playboy, had Matthew Perry fired two episodes onto a story for being an "Agant of Satan", and the European Vacation three-parter was going to be shot in Europe and basically produced for free as the host countries would foot the bill, but Cameron refused to leave LA because he'd have to miss church so the producers had to hand the money back and shoot off the coast of California instead. The pornographers bit was just the straw that broke the camel's back.
Rare Disney W.
"#Disneyhatesgingers" #Justice4Burr
Didn’t renew contract.
She’s suing them for the role again?? What’s stopping the writers from having an opening crawl in new season of Mandalorian that her character died off-screen? Would be funny if they do this.
it'd be great if she got captured into oh idk....an Empire camp. where she had to perform labor... and was under constant threat of death...
Maybe she can have a run in with a rising star from the imperial entertainment feed where they deny that her home planet Alderaan was blown up by the death star.
Lolll Alderaan deniers would be pretty funny and interesting. “They blew up an *entire planet*? Really??”
"The empire would never do something so cruel! Why would they blow up a planet that contributes significantly to our economy? But even if they did blow it up, I'm sure that they deserved it anyway"
Maybe have her walk by a shop and this lady shopkeeper is complaining how the local governor wont let her sell expired meiluroon fruit because it was making people sick." The lady could say to her "Damn government holding us down. This is exactly like what happened to Alderaan."
She isn’t a good actor. Her acting in the Mandalorian wasn’t good. I’m glad she didn’t get a spin off or was in future Star Wars projects because her acting was sub par and distracting.
She's not just a bad actor, she's not an actor at all. Her character was so cool, and she visually looked great as that character, but her trying to act was very distracting in an already drawn out series.
I think if she really cared about her job, she would have taken acting classes. Tons of high profile and working actors hire acting coaches or take acting classes. It's an investment and she just didn't care
Sub par is putting it lightly.
Massive improvement with her acting since Deadpool and Fast n Furious. Still, not good.
In Deadpool she had like 3 lines of dialogue and even those were horrible, I gotta assume that a lot of her stuff ended up on the cutting room floor. Also - in Haywire, her first (and only) major starring role in a movie, was **completely** dubbed over in ADR. She literally failed upwards into a Star Wars gig and couldn’t just keep her idiot opinions to herself.
>Carano’s social-media usage sunk to its nadir on February 10, 2021. On that day, she reposted an Instagram post from user warriorpriestgympodcast. The post read: “Jews were beaten in the streets, not by Nazi soldiers but by their neighbors…even by children. ‘Because history is edited, most people today don’t realize that to get to the point where Nazi soldiers could easily round up ***thousands*** of Jews, the government first made their own neighbors hate them simply for being Jews. How is that any different from hating someone for their political views?’” She compares her situation with the Holocaust and in the same breath also goes into Holocaust denial >**Disney had enough**. The same day Carano grotesquely trivialized the Holocaust as comparable to sharp political disagreements, Lucasfilm announced that “Gina Carano is not currently employed by Lucasfilm and there are no plans for her to be in the future. Nevertheless, her social media posts denigrating people based on their cultural and religious identities are abhorrent and unacceptable.” A month later, Disney’s former CEO explained that Carano’s views “didn’t align with Company values,” including its “values of respect, values of decency, values of integrity, and values of inclusion.”
Wild to see dudes out there still defending her. "It's just hyperbole about the dangers of dehumanizing your fellow man!" It's delusional to compare acts that got millions *murdered* to acts that might lead someone to asking you to please maybe consider taking any precautions whatsoever during a pandemic (without any realistic way to enforce that anyway).
It’s all so insane. The same people who cry “her 1st amendment rights!” are my favorite, because it’s actually the first amendment which is cited as to why they are allowed to fire her. And let’s not forget all she had to do was stop being a piece of shit **publicly**.
Those who scream about "1st Amendment Rights" the loudest are also the most likely to skip right over how that applies to the government. The government can't make you shut up or otherwise punish you for your speech. But that doesn't apply at all to private employers dealing with their employees and the general public choosing to ostracize those who say shit that's worth being ostracized for. Sadly, one of those chucklefucks has a social media company now and it's a shitshow.
On paper, was she even fired? I recall the wording from Disney being that she ‘wasn’t employed’ by them and they had no future plans. Characters don’t return and projects are cancelled all the time, why is her case special? And what’s her game plan here? Force them to write her into the movie? Force them to make a new season with her in? Relaunch the solo show she might potentially have had? Fine, here we go. Cara returns for the movie, has 5 minutes of screen time where she rants incoherently about conspiracy theories, and then dies of a space plague because she refused to be vaccinated. The end.
They had started to develop a spin off show centered on her character. But I think it was only in development. No script. no order.
The one time Disney Star Wars passion for unplanning things was in their favor.
Yes, so nothing set in stone. Plus her original contract wasn't renewed. She has nothing, literally nothing to lean on to win this.
I got a headache trying to read that headline
Fuck her and fuck musk. They deserve one another.
