Mordiceius: Nov 10, 2007; If you think calling me names is gonna get a rise out me, think again. I like my life as an idiot!

This Ezra Miller is super extra lovely because we're at a time where conservatives are beating the "Hollywood is filled with a bunch of gay pedophiles that groom children" drum and then well...

Is "clearing" people in that context some kind of Scientology thing or are they just generally sounding extremely culty

It's AAVE aka black American slang for being above others in whatever context.

They would be doing that either way but it is depressing that this will just give people more ammunition to attack innocent people.

If they had released the movie faster (why did it keep getting delayed), they may have avoided this problem, but now they're pretty screwed since Ezra fell off the deep end and it's way too public.

If the reason was Covid dropping possible profits, they sure shot themselves in the foot.

I would say "to be fair they didn't know this was happening" but if they have been grooming a child for 6 years and bringing them to sets of films that's either a case of everyone looking the other way or just not caring.

Isn't the Flash movie supposed to be important for setting the stage for future DC movies, like a Flashpoint sorta thing from the comics? loving up this movie might be loving up other in-production projects.

Lol, just lol.

I hope the kid gets back safe and Miller gets sent where they belong: the prison dimension from The One, (starring Jet Li) where they can snort ketamine and fistfight the entire population of Hawaii forever.

There's also about a billion examples of Christian hetero pedos, and they're still not mad at church or heteros, so it doesn't really matter.

They have been making up examples for years to justify their bigotry.

Everything happening with Miller is horrible, but it is pretty funny that WB pinned all their hopes on retconning the Snyderverse out of existence on a film they might not even be able to release. They can't get rid of it! They wished for a cinematic universe, and the monkey's paw curled.

Just do a quick rewrite that says Ezra Miller was reverse flash all along then deepfake some other actor over his performance. Bit of dubbing and bing bang boom yet done

I was giving a soft definition, because it's used as slang when it's done by people who appropriate it, AKA the LGBT community and others.

They should just release it now on HBO Max and cut their losses. It�s not like they can recast and re-shoot at this point right?

Or just use CGI and redo his face. Worked real well for Cavil on Josstice League right? 😑
