One person blew up a major product pretty much like Dylan Mulvaney bombed Bud Light. TD

"Zegler is a perfect example of how one person can wreck an entire production and throw $320 million (not including promotional costs) into the fire."

. . ."To be clear, the movie was already destined to fail. Snow White's character was race swapped for a Latina actress, and instead of a kind and nurturing figure, we're going to get another powerful girl-boss figure, a tired trope created during Disney's woke era that was entirely unwelcome the moment it arrived and continued to drive away viewers with every subsequent creation.
"But this Snow White movie may end up changing Disney, and for the better.
"At the core of this movie's issues is Zegler, a woman who displayed an incredible amount of woke hubris during the promotion of the film. She went so far as to insult the original 1937 Disney classic, which helped put Disney on the map as a major picture studio.
"Zegler, and even Gadot, suggested the original Snow White was problematic in various ways, and told everyone who asked that they fixed the story of Snow White by making her into something she wasn't, yet another modern example of a strong female archetype." . . .
. . .This isn't going to be overlooked by Disney, and how could it? This is one of the largest rebukes of a corporation ever seen, on par with the Bud Light boycott. Disney is likely going to make some massive changes after this, and I don't just mean in the way it writes and films it movies and television shows.
"I mean they're really going to start locking down on their employees.
"Disney's response to this bomb is probably going to include tighter contracts after this. Zegler taught them that modern Hollywood celebrities are likely a liability when given free-rein to just say whatever they want in front of cameras. What's likely going to happen is that Disney will begin making airtight morality clauses in their contracts." . . .
Disney’s Snow White Is Well on Its Way to Disaster at the Box Office
"That’s not to say women can’t pick up swords — Judith, after all, cuts off the head of a tyrant, and Joan of Arc led armies against the English — but Snow White isn’t supposed to be Joan of Arc, she’s supposed to be the maltreated princess awakened to love by a kiss. Simply put, Snow White isn’t the kind of story where the princess saves the prince. Instead, it gives men permission to love women because they are beautiful both inwardly and outwardly, and it tells women that accepting love will awaken them to a new and beautiful life."
..."That’s not the only problem Gadot poses for Disney. The Israeli-born actress, who is a former martial arts instructor for the Israeli Defence Force, is, as one might expect, pro-Israel, and she’s been very vocal about it. Last year, she helped put together a screening in Los Angeles of a video compilation of the atrocities committed by Hamas on Oct. 7, and the left-wing mob has been calling for a boycott of Snow White ever since.
"Zegler, on the other hand, has posted slogans like “free palestine” on her social media. (One wonders how that is going down between Zegler and Gadot on the promotional tour.) That, together with Zegler’s blatant disregard and disrespect of the original fairy tale, has everyone else criticizing and boycotting the movie. Between the Right and the Left, it seems likely that no one will be sitting in theaters on March 21.
"In 15 years, when the conflict in Gaza is relegated to the history books, most of us could probably get past some of the politicization surrounding the film. Unfortunately, we won’t be able to get past the bad storyline and the film’s ghoulish looks." . . .
