Seems like everyone agrees that Netflix and the writers behind the show weren’t following the source material very well and were making a lot of bad decisions in terms of show direction.

Cavill is known to want to keep things close to the source material. It seems implied that the “showrunner” and writers were against that attitude, so when he started pushing back, he gets called a misogynist and g*mer for trying redirect the show.

Sounds to me like film industry bullshit and trying to redirect the narrative from someone wanting the show to stay accurate to him being misogynistic simply because he was contradicting a woman.
