Ray Fisher Slams Walter Hamada

[ComicJunkie21]

Ray Fisher still at it:

I supported Ray speaking out against Whedon because I believe in a professional work environment but at some point, he has got to move on. The investigation ended, people were reprimanded, Whedon is getting blackballed what more does he want out of this situation?

Ray Fisher either has the best agent or the worst agent in Hollywood depending on how you look at it.

It takes some amount of guts to be as no-holds-barred as he is right now. I guess he has nothing to lose since Cyborg on paper doesn't have franchise potential and is obviously not on DC/WB's plate at the time being.

I thought there were talks of him appearing in the upcoming Flash film, so I don't understand why he won't stop as this looks like career suicide.

Either way, this is fun since you rarely have people as upfront and in-your-face as this guy.

Really starting to feel like there wasn't much of anything behind the accusations.

I think there was merit to Whedon as it looks like he's getting blackballed and there were others who did speak up afterwards insinuating that Whedon has been toxic for years and been getting away with it but I think people will defend Hamada as he has been a very respected person in the past. Even in the article referencing Hamada's supposed responses I thought he remained professional.

He is not working what exactly does he have to be afraid of? You might as well call out the system, It is not like he will have jobs lining up for him.

I can understand if he was slamming the system but it sounds like he was upset because he's not getting his way on creative decisions that responsibilty belongs to the director, producer, and writer.

Sadly I cannot take him seriously anymore after he said, Whedon edited his skin color to make him look darker,

I have seen many beloved original whedon characters darker than Ray.

As a young black actor in a franchise movie playing a character (Cyborg) who was elevated to the Justice League in the comics specifically by Geoff Johns so that he could shed heat about restoring the white guy as the main GL in the culure, I see his point of view. Cyborg didn't have any big ticket going for him. The Zack Snyder movie was his big break.

I mean either he speaks now or he speaks decades later toiling like Leonard Roberts did (https://variety.com/2020/tv/features...er-1234854439/).

Or you know what John Boyega talked about with Star Wars.

[green_garnish]

If I was cynical I would say who is Ray Fisher and why should I care about what he says about a low- talent film creator.

In reality, I know who he is, but I don't get why he keeps getting his own threads here for saying silly stuff.

.

John Boyega does have a lot of evidence, we can also see for ourselves how things played out in the Disney star wars trilogy with Finn and Finn and Rey.

Ray Fisher's accusation has yet to be factually proven.

There is a DIFFERENCE

We all saw the TOXIC crap he got from fans for taking the role.

We know how much of a battel Abrams had to do to get him the role. John had to tryout more than anyone else.

We saw the mess John went through with Star Wars.

And Disney reached out to him.

John has work-2 movies and he was well received in Small Axe.

John has called out stuff we have been SEEING for years. Not just with him but Leslie Jones, Michael B Jordan, Eleven from Stranger Things and so many others.

Ray has NOT. Wheldon despite flaws like Johns have a track record of success.
