Elongated Man actor fired

That's me done. The CW shows don't come back until January 2021 (or maybe not even then), so I might feel different by that time, but there's just too much stuff going on behind the scenes with the CW shows. I want to just enjoy the shows, but all this other extra drama is getting in the way of that. I don't want to get caught up in another character's story just to have it turn out I should never have invested in that story because of outside matters.
I watched a lot of toyetic anime in my time but I think there was also a lot more action-oriented Western animation on when I was growing up. Or maybe it just felt that way.
Well, with Ralph they actually have a believable out to just recast the role considering how his powers work.
I mean, they might write him and Sue out but I don't think it's definite.
First the Arrowverse loses Batwoman and now Flash loses Elongated Man...I guess Legends is also losing Charlie. Nobody from Supergirl is confirmed to be gone yet but a lot of people are theorizing Melissa Benoist might be finished after season 7.
Lot of shakeups following Covid-19, it seems. Even though none of it has anything to do with Covid.
I'm just thinking to myself that it just doesn't pay to be a Dibny...
Trolls suck. Trolls should be fired. Everyone hates internet trolls for damn good reason. Doesn't mean we should do what trolls do. Trolls being racist against black people doesn't mean the answer is to be racist against white people.
Just saying the comment I quoted isn't right - "they should fire more white actors" isn't the same as saying Hollywood should be more diverse, representive, and inclusive. White privilege is bad, racism is bad, and change needs to happen now. But saying more people of a certain skin color should be fired obviously isn't the answer to any of that.
But that's all I have to say on that topic - I have no intention of discussing race or world affairs on a comic book forum. That's not why I come here.

I hope Young Justice gives us more Elongated Man if they really cut him out of The Flash.
I really hope to see more DC original animated movies. While seeing some of the best comic book stories animated may be appealing I feel like there is a lack in original stories from animations. It's especially disappointing because most have don't have an great story to adapt.
I also really hope that future animated can show respect it's characters. It feels like DC is making a lot of its hero fodder and jobber which breaks my interest in watching them. Why introduce a character just to kill them off the next time we see them.
