I'll leave that argument to Dwarvenhobble, since I've never said a word about Doctor Who.
But I'll take a guess and say that we're only suspecting that certain characters or elements are there at the behest of corporate meddling, and one of the tell-tale signs of corporate meddling is that they're poorly shoved-in, or in other words, bad writing. But not all bad writing means corporate meddling.
You’re right, not all bad writing is corporate meddling. I do want to point out that as far as I can see, Dwarvenhobble talks far more about writing in his definition. You are adding more about characters. Great, let’s talk about characters.
So corporate meddling is bad. Why do you think that only effects ‘woke’ media? Like, do you understand that corporates choosing white males for roles instead of the best person for the job has the exact same issues. White males regularly get selected because execs thought that women couldn’t do the job. It’s why male Superheroes were selected for Marvel because they thought women couldn’t do it.
Thats also corporate meddling.
A lot of phase 1 is pretty bad because they made this decision, with Iron Man 1 being the only good movie there. Similar at DC, they certainly didn’t pick Wonder Woman to start the franchise and that’s a huge mistake.
Foisting female characters onto people isn’t good. Neither is foisting white males on us. My problem is JUST woke crap. It’s all corporate meddling.
I get the idea of wanting to fix woke. Because this introduction is terrible and should never happen again.
Carter and Teal’c was probably foisted onto SG1. It’s corporate meddling. Having an alien spy in your midst makes no sense. It could have gone the other way, and kept the white males originally in those positions and that would have been corporate meddling too.
