The contrast between how 2 actors in comics movies are treated by Hollywood
Proving again that Hollywood is an openly racist industry is the fact that Flash star Ezra Miller is being rehabilitated while Ant-Man and the Wasp Something-Something-Mania star Jonathan Majors is watching his career and reputation explode.The difference is that Miller was credibly accused and charged with sexual misconduct and assault, though with Majors, the accusations of assault aren't as clear, though according to this report, several other women also lodged accusations against Majors. Either way, what's disturbing is how the white man - one who's additionally following the LGBT playbook - is let off the hook with barely a slap on the wrist, while the black man is almost entirely shunned by the moviemakers regardless of guilt or innocence. What does that say about Hollywood's approach? Protected class status certainly is entrenched in this grimy industry.
Ezra Miller is white.
Jonathan Majors is black.
Shall we compare rap sheets?
This only compounds my decision not to watch the Flash movie ever, and others would be advised to avoid it too. It's just throughly embarrassing what they'v led to, and tarnished more than a few comics adaptations along the way. A genre that, as noted before, is starting to lose steam in movie adaptations anyway because of all the wokeness they've succumbed to.
