This actually seems to be an OK thing in my book. They files the paperwork and got an exemption from the guilds. There are real reasons to have nuanced discussions as a part of a broader strike. Note that I personally suffer from these strikes, but support them nonetheless.

Absolutely. The details are a lot better than the headline. The actors seem happy with Angel Studios, so it's not like they're being mistreated, and based on the terms, Angel Studios must agree to whatever terms the unions settle on once the strike is broken.
I would actually to see indie studios like them continue to make content so long as they treat their talent well, it sticks it to the big studios and leaves them in the dust while also giving writers, actors, etc. jobs in this interim period.

Amazing what happens when you treat your actors well and have good faith communication with the guild. My son is affected as well and he is all good with this too.
