Shane Black quit twitter.
Good job to everyone who was sending shitty comments to him.
Well, it was bound to happen. Entertainment is highly important to the modern human. It should go without saying, that a lot of the product being put out by Hollywood now is crap. Even if you can't agree with such an assessment, it's hard to argue that the reception for many of the franchise films aside from the marvel's have been rather divisive and controversial. Alien, Jurassic, star wars, etc. And now predator. I shouldn't even have to mention Pacific Rim 2 and Independence Day 2.
And we're also getting tons of political messages. Most of them not at all subtle. The stories are actually being shaped to accommodate the political message. And the retconning/revisioning. People are getting frustrated. That some are getting loud about it, is no surprise.
As for Shane quitting Twitter. And I mean absolutely no disrespect to the man, and openly condemn any of the hateful or violent criticism he may have experienced on the platform. But he's a successful adult, with a good job, healthcare, and a nice home. He'll be fine. I feel sorry for the 17 year old cashiers making minimum wage who got told to "go to hell" probably 15 different times today. And they weren't being told over the internet either.
