But again, most of the ill-will towards Fisher is 100% because "He didn't give us the REAL Dirt". And that's f*cked up, because it ignores the fact that he legally probably can't come out and say what we collectively wanna hear no matter how bad we wanna hear it.

As I said elsewhere in other threads about it, when I've been hired for jobs not ONLY did I sign papers saying I could be fired for saying disparaging things about my company and/or bosses out loud in public, but they can also sue me if I do. I'm VERY sure that's a big, big factor in the situation over at WB, on a much grander scale. And he's said multiple times in various statements that "Legally, I have to be very careful about what I say." So that tells me all I need to know. I absolutely don't want the guy to cut his own neck any deeper on account of MY personal "Need To Know." Because I in fact DON'T "Need To Know" that bad.

Fisher knew he'd never work in the business again for what little he DID say, and that's plenty bad on its own for him, but he took the hit. Okay then, good for him for sticking up for his principles, if he feels that strongly. Why make it worse for himself and actively invite a multi-million dollar lawsuit, though? Why pauper himself on top of being blackballed? That would be stupid. "But we want The Dirt!" Are you gonna pay the guy's bills when WB sues him for breach of contract? Am I? No, we aren't. Thus, we're not entitled to "The Dirt". He can say as much or as little as he feels is necessary, and that's his business.

Sure, he could have said Nothing and dealt with it quietly and privately. And maybe that would have been less annoying for some people. BUT. If he'd done that, there's a strong chance that Whedon and Johns would still have "stroke" with WB, and now they don't. They only got tossed because of fear of a very public backlash, and that wouldn't have happened if Fisher had remained 100% silent. He spoke out, and they got let go, and THAT is what ultimately matters most.

Again, why anyone who actually watched "Justice League" would take two seconds out of their time to DEFEND Whedon and Johns boggles my goddamn mind. They've neither earned nor deserve any benefit of the doubt. And yet people end up defending them at least a little bit, and all because the guy accusing them didn't deliver enough juicy gossip. That's ludicrous.

Sure, "If he's not gonna dish, then he's just annoying and needs to shut up." Alright, fine. But then we'd still be stuck with Whedon and Johns, and now we aren't. Priorities. Just. Take. The WIN.
