    I am a firearms instructor for a public sector state close protection unit. We are responsible for protecting domestic and visiting foreign heads of state and government. A few years ago, a female only course was run for DEI reasons. This course had a 100% pass rate, comparing to the usual of 30%. The standards were floored, the physical test was removed, not one passed the firearms qualification. And all of this was lied and lied and lied about to everyone. The training team was then nominated for a diversity award. I protested all of this and was accused of sexism…for believing that gender should not be considered.
    The damage this did to the credibility of that unit, to women who may otherwise be capable and to morale and pride, to this day is disgusting. None of those women remain. They didn’t earn it and not being stupid, realised exactly how they were being patronised.
    The recent attempt on Trump highlighted precisely the same dishonest vandalism that puts lives at risk.

    Despot, I'm surprised you didn't include Eternals, probably the MCU's most DEI by design film. Not only were the characters altered to suit the DEI hire cast ( hint, guess which ethnicity and sexual orientation turns out to be the villain) but Chloe Zhao, who won an Oscar for a low budget fill about Frances McDormand urinating in buckets, was its stunningly unquallified DEI hire director. The fillm marketed itself on DEI , and totally avoided everything that earned the comic book source material its somewhat niche but also revered status, as a Jack Kirby masterpiece.

      You ain't lying. What's really crazy is that the only people clamoring for DEI are rich white people. I've never once heard a black, Asian or Latino person say anything about being underrepresented in movies and TV, without someone else bringing it up. Real people worry about real things that actually impact their lives. People who have time to count how many non white people are in a movie are people who have plenty of money. There aren't too many of those

Then along come women who are blatantly incompetent, inexperienced and have no reason to have the egos they have, getting appointed and overpaid. It is such a slap in the face of women like myself who just want a chance to work on an even footing, with the same chances and the same pay as our male counterparts. And it HURTS other women’s chances going forward.

The unmitigated hubris is just infuriating. It should go without saying, that an adaptation of Tolkien’s work should reflect what the FICTIONAL WORLD he created actually looks like!

    Jennifer Salke also cancelled the Conan-The Barbarian series, that Ryan Kondal was working on.
    Kondal is a big fan of the original Conan stories by Robert E. Howard and the script was supposedly very good, according to some people who read it.
    Kondal than jumped ship to HBO MAX and wrote/ produced House of the Dragon, which is a huge hit with audiences and critically acclaimed.
    Imagine, we could have had a well written, mature Conan series with great production values.
    Instead we got shite like Rangz of Power & that abysmal Wheel of Time show....

      @@paulvontarsus729 I do not know if they had anyone in mind, and I doubt it got anywhere near that point of production. But I think Alan Ritchson (from Amazon's Reacher) could pull it off. He's no Arnold. There will never be another Arnold. But I could see him as Conan.
