Depends on how much his character was supposed appear.
If it was just cameos, with Kate Bishop/Hailee Steinfeld getting most of the screentime, then of course.

Blaming unions trying to get some job security and living wages, while executives get paid billions is not cool.

- Comment on There’s a Feeling We’re Not in Hollywood Anymore 2 weeks ago:
The article does talk about why labor overseas is cheaper. Twice, in fact:
Labor costs in countries where the government pays for health care are often far lower than anywhere in the United States, particularly in California.
One budget document viewed by The New York Times showed the cost of a seven-person set operations team — positions known as “grips” — to be roughly $59,000 for a 30-day shoot in Budapest.
Because of health care, pension and other expenses, it costs about $53,000 to employ just one senior-level grip in Los Angeles for the same time frame,
- Comment on Original 'Star Wars' Cut Will Be Shown at a Theater for First Time in Decades 3 weeks ago:
As the article says, there are still original distribution prints from 1977 out there, squirreled away in private print collections.
So they might be dragging one of those out for this showing.
As for the original negatives… only Lucas knows.

But who’s going to believe that this will be the original original?
London only. Fuck.
- Comment on Is there a way to get a massive dump of memory stuff off my laptop by uploading it to a torrent? If so how and can I make it private just for my access? 3 weeks ago:
Depending on what you define as “massive”…
The networked storage services: Google Drive, Dropbox, and Microsoft OneDrive offer free storage on virtual hard drives after you install their respective programs.
The amount that’s free is limited: OneDrive 5GB, Dropbox 2GB, Google Drive is weird 15GB across all of Gmail, Photos, Drive, and device backup. You can see your Google storage here one.google.com/storage
- Comment on Amazon's Tomb Raider series reportedly 'dead' after tens of millions in development costs resulted in no script 3 weeks ago:
Get a good writer, and you can make a good movie or TV show out of anything.
The caveat being that there are very few good writers out there.
And even less who would be willing to work on something like this.

- Comment on ‘Snow White’, Poisoned By Controversy At Box Office, Won’t Have A Happy Ending With $115M Loss: What Went Wrong 5 weeks ago:
There’s a school of acting where you’re supposed to more-or-less keep a blank face, and let the audience project emotions onto your protagonist. Richard Gere was famous for it. I thought it was Method Acting, but that’s not it.
It doesn’t work if the writing doesn’t work.
- Comment on ‘Snow White’, Poisoned By Controversy At Box Office, Won’t Have A Happy Ending With $115M Loss: What Went Wrong 5 weeks ago:
Upon reflection, one of the concept mistakes was slavishly following the original plot.
The embellishments like the happy citizens, Evil Queen’s love for cheap plastic jewels, apple pies, etc. just felt unnecessary and tacked on.
Disney already made Maleficent relatively recently in 2014 as a meta take on the original, so where could they go from there?
- Comment on ‘Snow White’, Poisoned By Controversy At Box Office, Won’t Have A Happy Ending With $115M Loss: What Went Wrong 5 weeks ago:
I think in this case, Godot was miscast.
I understand any actress wanting to expand their range, particularly her wanting to be known anything else other than Wonder Woman.
Sometimes, you just gotta own it tho: See Leonard Nimoy and his “I’m not Spock” phase.
A friend who watched Snow White with me thought she was okay, but I didn’t think she sold being EVIL enough.

But the sakuga fight scene against the freaky ninja inmates made up for it.
You’d think they could have done better than the bad CG dragon though.

None of this would be a problem if Disney had made a good movie.
But Disney didn’t.
Zegler is a talented young actress and singer, has had notable roles already, and will continue to have a great career.
Gal Godot has been a great Wonder Woman.
Both are good, regardless of what they post on social media.
The script, production and whole concept of this movie had far worse problems than Zegler and Godot.
- Comment on What are some lesser-known obscure TV series that went under the radar, that you would recommend? 5 weeks ago:
Children Of The Stones, 1977 British childrens’ horror show. A historian and his young son visit a small village whose residents hold secrets about an ancient stone monument.
Like most 70s British TV, there’s no production budget, and entirely dependent on script writing and actors to create atmosphere.

Survivors was a great show! Post-apocalyptic drama at its best.
