The bottom isn't even remotely done falling out for Disney. So far we their admissions of detrimental agenda-policy, their ongoing financial disaster reports (they are currently in such a large loss that it could be compared to as if all of Epcot Center was destroyed, unrecoverable and uninsured), and the social ramifications are now underway with this Carano thing the tip of the iceberg.

And even if they don't, this will surely be ugly and embarrassing for them. Having to answer stuff like, why did Gina lose her job for posting memes about WWII vs. today's political climate while guys like Pedro Pascal are free and clear for saying Trump is actual Hitler, and so on.
Because Trump is very similar to Hitler in words and actions (pre Holocaust).

Anyhoooooow... conservatives are snowflakes for wanting everything the way it used to be (which often wasn't better), and the woke left is going batshit over anything they don't agree with. It's going to be an interesting action because when you're employed by a company, you represent the company, and if what you post doesn't fall in line with the company narrative... it isn't just Disney, it's pretty much most companies in the world. So any potential judgement could have implications for the future elsewhere re my point above.

Funded by the owner of Twitter, I mean X, that shuts down speech in general too, but that's a private platform, their rules, you play by them even if you don't agree. Don't agree, go somewhere else.

Just like right now, before you become another TDS retard, if you are not on your way to this state already.

If your company allows to do deranged statements which can be born only in a deranged mind of a retard living in the ivory tower, surrounded by cushy luxuries, disconnected from the outside world, than this company is trash and should burn.

And it should not act like a colossal snowflake, when someone from the same company has a different opinion. Otherwise, into trash this company goes.

Also, if the statement was made on a personal account and does not violate the law, NDA or targets company itself, company has no right to interfere.

Hey man, it's the liberal way. When the argument is all but lost and the "cause" has been revealed and the abandonment is growing just.... you know... call people names. :roll:

Imagine the life these guys have. Imagine a variety of life-deficits, but then imagine having several of them all at once. Including so much inner-doubt that you convince yourself you are a hero fighting "the evil". Or even worse, doing it while pretending to be virtuous but knowing the entire time that you are actually sewing hate. And then, when you run out of arguments, stand there and make a hideous screaming noise or like our guy above - just call people "names".

That's not really what "she" is doing or the way these things work. Disney will say "no," then she will demonstrate damages by her lost income for her not being on season 3, "Rangers of the New Republic," and maybe even the Mandalorian movie, then Disney will come back with X amount to settle, then that's that and things are mostly amicable. OR Disney can say, "Well hey, how about we bring you back in X, X, and X to make things right?" but they'll never do that because that would mean publicly betraying the wackjobs they were trying to appease to begin with.

Well, seen you've been banned for something, so you may not get to see this. But different countries, different laws. We have minimum notify periods and layoff payments here. In many US states, you have "at will" hiring and firing, so you can be gone the same day with no notice or severence other than a cardboard box on your desk for your things (yes, that "stereotypical" Hollywood film exit does really happen) and security escorting you to the door. It's normally part of the company wide policy to follow when you are hired, much the same as don't steal their stuff, don't spend all day on social media, and don't spend too long on toilet breaks.

Something's different. The clouds... they're parting?

Anyway, this is all posturing on Musk's part. Just intended to rile up people. There's no real case here for wrongful termination because Gina was never fired. She was hired on a production-by-production basis and Disney simply did not contract her for another performance, therefore nothing was ever "terminated" (barring an understood unwritten partnership between her, as an actress playing a recurring character, and Lucasfilm -- good luck getting that to hold weight in court).

If she really wanted to sue over this, she would've any time within the last three years. Hell, she might've better luck winning a case against the United Talent Agency for dropping her back then. But if it's against Disney, then more outrage, more eyes, more clicks!

Plus, Musk made subtle indications he wants to make Disney a new plaything so this may be his first public step toward that.

Well, seen you've been banned for something, so you may not get to see this. But different countries, different laws. We have minimum notify periods and layoff payments here. In many US states, you have "at will" hiring and firing, so you can be gone the same day with no notice or severence other than a cardboard box on your desk for your things (yes, that "stereotypical" Hollywood film exit does really happen) and security escorting you to the door. It's normally part of the company wide policy to follow when you are hired, much the same as don't steal their stuff, don't spend all day on social media, and don't spend too long on toilet breaks.

"At will" is not what you think it is. Even with At will employment you have to have a valid reason to fire someone and you still cant violate contracts. Its also illegal to defame someone when it comes to employment which is a *very* easy thing to sue for in the USA (legally businesses normally will only tell you if someone worked for them but not how well they did their job). If she was contracted for XYZ thing and they released her for no reason she def has a case. I dont know all the details, just wanting to point that out.

Well, valid reasons are ******** (know someone let go in an “at will” state for nothing more than we need to downsize) and Gina wasn’t contracted at the time. Disney just chose not to renew it for season three. She was also warned about her social media posts and didn’t back off. For the comments previous about Pedro (it’s been so long since this was a hot thing, I had to remind myself) and his anti Trump, anti right wing stuff, he was warned too and backed off. But people quite likely don’t realise that.

Well just like elections have outcomes, these court cases will have outcomes. Armchair quarterbacking it won't change that. So I'll be very curious to see where this goes.

I can't quarterback Carano's entire situation, but personally, I think that it is very clear that there were years of witch-hunts and that people were persecuted across society for going against the neo-liberal POV. I think that's so clear that this happened society-wide that only a life-angry, people-persecuting liberal would deny that statement.

Have you ever thought of running for political office, IMJ? You would make a great precinct delegate, I bet. It's easy to get on the ballot (the two times I've served, I literally had to fill out one form), and it would be a solid way to get plugged in to your local party, meet people who agree with you, and actually do something "real" with all your passion for the topic at hand.

Google something like "how to become precinct delegate (your city)," and you should be able to find what you would need.

Seeing your name on a ballot (the same one as the actual President of the United States) is a trip. And we've met some amazing, amazing people over the years doing the actual work of knocking on doors, canvassing, phone banking... it's awesome.

You are twisting facts. I am presenting reasons and rationale for your pathetic behavior and belief systems. The pattern does in fact indicate that you are the "life angry" looking for an outlet via witch hunt. Basically analogous to children on a playground angry at someone else's toy.

You are completely FOS and as usual my words carry more weight because they are routinely on point while your points rely on twisting words and meaning.

It's really that simple and more often than not the interactions conform to that pattern. Nice try, though. :lol::lol::lol::lol:

You seem a bit ignorant of body types as it relates to muscle mass (which, let's be honest, isn't super surprising with you). Was she super lean in UFC? Yes. But in recent years it looks like she's focused more on straight up weight-lifting than cardio-based stuff. Has she put on a bit of fat? Sure.

But compare, like, Stallone in Rocky IV vs. Rambo IV. Is Stallone FAT in Rambo IV? Of course not. He's just got a ton of muscle, just without a ton of "cut" to it.

You're right. But, this is true regardless of Elon/Twitter money (which, full disclosure, is bleeding out already). Disney's legal team requires no introduction no matter who's on the other end, and with Elon's backing, the case will get a little farther than it would with solo Carano. But with such a nonstarter case like this, it'll stall just the same. She might as well have sued back then.

Contrast with Scarlett Johansson's case against the company in 2021. Big discrepancy in net worth, yes, but the real difference is she had an actual case. Disney's actions plainly breached contract, and their lawyers knew it. That's why it was settled out of court just two months after the filing.

I believe Carano could've held on for two months plus a few more, but she knows such a case has no legs. Hence the three year gap until a time that happens to align with Elon showing a vague interest in Disney.

One of the things her suit was demanding is that Disney re-cast her into Mandalorian and/or Rangers of the New Republic. Either that's happening or they threw so much money at her she withdrew that demand.

We've been over this. There is "soft" muscled and there is RIPPED muscled. She's soft muscled. Because she doesn't really have anything to train for in that way. Compare Stallone in Rambo 4 to Rambo 3. He has WAY more muscle in Rambo 4, he's like a monster, but he doesn't have that "cut" like he did in Rambo 3 with the much more pronounced muscles.

Not that I'd presume you'd know much about.... y'know... basic fitness. But I'll keep things nice.

wtf happened to her?

Damn, I might've crossed the line there. not that I said anything false. Just cold hard facts.

I tried to figure out from around when that fit photo was from. Saw a site that posted it and others in July 2009, so the photos are 16 years old or more??

What happened? Middle age. Believe it or not, age happens to all people. The woman is over 40 now, things tend to change at 40+. Guys clearly can be affected by it too, given the increase rate of "dad bods" in the 40+ age group, but women also have bigger shifting hormonal stuff that is a primary factor that can put on weight, and some more than others given genetics, even when you aren't actually doing anything differently and did not start "letting yourself go." Add in it's when health issues can also start popping up for people, some of which could impact weight.

Not that someone 40+ can't keep working out and try to remain fit, but life changes, sometimes there isn't time for all that anymore or it's no longer a priority, and women will typically lose muscle tone faster if they step away from it.

Sorry to say she wasn't going to remain a hot young adult forever. No one can. And anyone not past 40 yet... yeah, just you wait, it's coming. lol

I had a chance to meet her last year at a comic convention. Unfortunately with the lines as long as they were, there's only so many people that you can meet in one day. Choices were made. I also would've liked to have had more time to meet Rob Paulsen that day as well.

Its hard to wrap my head around the voice actor thing. With actual actors, or crew, or anything like that, you could ask them lots of stuff... like, "What was it like shooting this episode/movie?" or "How did you like working with so-and-so on set?" or any one of a million things. A voice actor? What are you going to say? "I like your voice! And I like it when you do the thing with your voice!"

I don't get it.

I dunno, if you're familiar with multiple roles someone did, there's at least fave roles and the range of their talent to comment on. A trait of a lot of these older VAs have that you sadly just don't get much of anymore with the younger "talent" now that often sound the same in every damn thing they do.

Makes me sad that it's kind of becoming a lost art. Such as the Sonic movies taking me right out of the emersion because all I can hear the entire time is Rise Leo.

Meanwhile, as I type this I'm logged into one of my game characters whose voice emotes are by none other than Cam Clarke. For many years I have TRIED to hear even a hint of FW Leo in there and I just can't. The man has talent for miles. Definitely something worth appreciating.

I don't get it.
Its almost like you don't think voice acting takes skill and can be considered an actual performance, no worse than "in person" performance in movie or in a theater. You can ask voice actor, pretty much all the same questions you can ask any other actor in any other industry.

Maybe a bit more meat on her bones. There is a difference from being actually thicc and curvy then there is just being a fatass.

Florence Pugh is curvy. Zendaya needs a damn sandwich or five.

I see my fat shaming bots and puppet accounts were successful. You're welcome.

Why is she even fighting Ronda? Ronda might've been all hype but at least she held the title for a bit. I don't remember Gina being great.

Prowler

I don't watch MMA.

I remember seeing Ronda in WWE several years ago and even main eventing Wrestlemania. No idea how good she was in MMA.

Lots of former MMA fighters transition into pro wrestling. And then there's Brock Lesnar who started out as an amateur wrestler, became a pro wrestler, left to become an MMA fighter and returned to pro wrestling.

I haven't seen Gina Carano in anything at all.

Is a fight between Gina and Ronda in 2026 interesting at all on paper, even?

A little bit. Rousey has more cred, really, but both are sort of examples of ladies that had a super great super short run that eventually got beat up and then got scared and retired very quickly thereafter. Rousey's run was longer.

But nowadays? Both of them suddenly getting back in the ring after many years? They're probably roughly about the same.

well yeah, she was a whale before. She's got so much loose skin she had to wear that top to cover it up during the weigh in. Ronda's going to destroy her. And I don't even consider Ronda a great fighter. When I was a teenager I was in love with Gina tho.

Gina didn't expect to be speared with a body tackle like that at the beginning. And honestly seconds before she was put in the armbar she was doing that "embarrassed smile" while on the ground.

She was prepared for a striking fight and the immediate grapple caught her off guard completely. I was rooting for Gina as a comeback story all the way, but Rousey just used skill and went in for the kill. Which honestly? Is authentic as hell in a real fight - put your opponent down very hard, very quickly and shut them down.

I hated that fight but respected the hell out of it. Honestly we were all sitting in my family room eager as hell but as soon as the armbar rolled over I actually said outloud "fight's over"; and by 18 seconds in everyone had the "open mouth, wtf" bewilderment going.

"Didn't expect". In other words, took a dive for her buddy so she could end her career with a win and make up for her loss that made her leave MMA in the first place.

Thank the lord that the Rousey Carano fight was on Netflix and not something that had to get paid for individually.

And you know I'm not buying her claim that she's lost 100 pounds. She just didn't peviously look THAT heavy to me. For the record, I think she looked better before the weight loss.

She literally ranted on a huge post on twitter about how she had to do so much work to go from Jabba the Hutt to looking good again. She lost 100 lbs. Why are people still trying to gaslight that she wasn't a fat ****? She literally talks about the struggles she went through, how she was unhappy with how big she got, with how she became pre-diabetic and how Ronda was the one who kept inspiring her to be able to get into shape once again.

Gina was never a great fighter, I mentioned that when the fight was first announced, the fight went like it was going to, they're different tiered fighters even if both of them were just hype and nothing else. She was popular because she was the first hot female MMA fighter that was decent, she just hit her limit early in her career and moved on.
