Ugh: Gina Carano Settles With the Disney Groomer Corporation
Update: Carano Posts Brief Statement

Elon Musk backed Gina Carano's lawsuit against Disney for firing her because they didn't like her "politics" -- her "politics" being only that she did not bow to the Pedro-Pascal-fueled trans mob demanding she post her pronouns as if she were a tranny, and did not like the left's constant demands to hate thy neighbor -- and for defaming her, claiming that her post about the Nazis' early propaganda efforts to make people turn on an "internal enemy." Disney falsey claimed this "demeaned" people's "religion."

That's just a straight-up lie. She analogized the modern left to the Nazis. They didn't want to dispute that -- it's hard to dispute -- so they just created a defamation out of nothing and claimed she was fired for trafficking in antisemitic slurs.

All because they didn't want to admit the real reasons for firing her -- 1, she was known to lean Republican, and 2, because the trannies and troons demanded her head and Disney did not want to admit that the precious transgenders were behind it all, or that Disney is now simply a transgender corporation.

I had thought, wrongly, that this suit would expose Disney's corrupt behavior because Musk was funding it for political/ideological reasons. I didn't think Carano would just settle and bury the matter.

But that's what's happened.

Lucasfilm and the Walt Disney Company have reached a mutual agreement in their legal dispute with Gina Carano following her firing from "The Mandalorian."

A Lucasfilm spokesperson said in a statement provided to Variety, "The Walt Disney Company and Lucasfilm are pleased to announce that we have reached an agreement with Gina Carano to resolve the issues in her pending lawsuit against the companies. Ms. Carano was always well respected by her directors, co-stars, and staff, and she worked hard to perfect her craft while treating her colleagues with kindness and respect. With this lawsuit concluded, we look forward to identifying opportunities to work together with Ms. Carano in the near future."

Sure.

Carano was fired from "The Mandalorian" in 2021 after sharing several controversial social media posts, including one that compared being a Republican to being Jewish during the Holocaust.

Actually Jews were never mentioned, and, not to be pedantic, but Jews weren't the only Internal Enemies the Nazis demonized.

She was also dropped as a client by UTA at the time. In 2024, Carano filed suit in California federal court alleging wrongful termination and discrimination, as well as a demand that the court should force Lucasfilm to recast her and pay at least $75,000 in punitive damages.

Disney's lawyers filed a motion in April 2024 to throw out the lawsuit, arguing that it had a First Amendment right to fire the actor, stating it has "a constitutional right not to associate its artistic expression with Carano's speech."

Carano fired back in a post on X, writing, "Disney has confirmed what has been known all along, they will fire you if you say anything they disagree with, even if they have to MISREPRESENT, MALIGN, and MISCHARACTERIZE you to do it. They are now on record letting everyone who works for them know that Disney will take any chance they get to control what you say, what you think or they will attempt to destroy your career. Glad we cleared that up. The First Amendment does not allow Disney to wantonly DISCRIMINATE, which is what they have done in my case and frankly have now admitted they did. If you ever wanted to know what today's 'Disney values' are, they just told you."

Carano hasn't discussed the settlement yet but she did obliquely reference it by tweeting "and the truth will set you free."

Um, what truth? I don't see Disney disclosing anything or admitting anything. All they did was say that you were "well-respected." They did not even retract their previous slander of apologize for it.

In cases like this, there's the matter of individual justice for the plaintiff and a farther-reaching justice that affects people beyond the named plaintiffs. And yes, of course, I want Carano to get paid off. I want justice for her.

But I sure didn't want that justice for Gina to come with absolutely nothing else.

So for all of this, all that happens is what people expected would happen before Elon Musk underwrote the lawsuit: Disney pays Gina Carano to go away and go quietly, and that's it. Everything else is covered up.

I guess it proves that when the vicious communist left cancels you thoroughly and makes it impossible for you to work or earn any money in your profession, you'll eventually break and take their meager payoff.

Everyone should continue boycotting Disney until they come clean about the evil they do.

Many people are holding Disney to account through the boycott. The movie opened a bit weak and then suffered a big 67% drop in its second weekend. It now looks like it will struggle to beat the box office of the flopbuster Blacktain Ameriblack: So Close to Pride Month starring TGS funnyman Tracey Jordan.

Their stupid Fantastic Four movie is admitted to be a flop, even by their most intense "journalist" shill advocates, and in fact is making less money that the flop that killed Fox's X-Man franchise.

The 20th Century Fox era of X-Men movies got an emotional send-off last year at the end of Deadpool & Wolverine. But fans will remember that, in 2019, the franchise was curb-stomped into oblivion by Dark Phoenix, the fourth installment of the reboot series that began with X-Men: First Class. The movie tanked commercially and with the critics, and is said to have lost the studio hundreds of millions of dollars just before Fox and its assets were sold to Disney. The X-Men will soon be introduced afresh in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the highest-grossing film franchise in history, just like the recently released The Fantastic Four: First Steps. The movie delivered a decent opening weekend haul but witnessed an unexpectedly hefty drop in its sophomore frame. To make matters worse, The Fantastic Four is underperforming in overseas markets, where it still trails Dark Phoenix.

Directed by Simon Kinberg, the longtime Fox hand who had worked on several of these films previously, Dark Phoenix grossed around $250 million worldwide on a reported budget of $200 million. It's sitting at a terrible 22% score on the aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, where the critics' consensus reads, "Dark Phoenix ends an era of the X-Men franchise by taking a second stab at adapting a classic comics arc -- with deeply disappointing results.

Both movies were remakes of a story just told a handful of years earlier. The X-Men already did the Dark Phoenix story, in a rushed way, in X-Men III Last Stand, and we've already seen the Fantastic Four square up against Galactus in the second Tim Story FF movie. (Around 2008, I think.)

The only selling point to these way-too-early remakes was that they were considered to have been botched previously and so the new versions would be more "comics accurate." (That's why they gender-swapped Silver Surfer, doncha know.)

Supposedly -- allegedly -- the Fantastic Four is supposed to be okay. Some say it's mid or meh, but that's an improvement over the most recent fare.

Some are pointing out that if a bad movie fails, that's okay, because it was a bad movie.

But if a supposedly "good" movie fails, that indicates that the public just isn't interested in what you're selling any longer, even if your "meh" movie looks like a relative success.

Update: Carano's letter plugs Star Wars. I guess they might actually give her a small role.

I have come to an agreement with Disney/Lucasfilm @disney @Lucasfilm which I believe is the best outcome for all parties involved. I hope this brings some healing to the force.

I want to extend my deepest most heartfelt gratitude to Elon Musk, @elonmusk

I'd like to thank you all for your unrelenting support throughout my life and career, you've been the heartbeat that has kept my story alive. I hope to make you proud.
