One of the many reasons that the box office of BLACK PANTHER and WONDER WOMAN is important is that no one can ever say again a superhero who is a woman or superhero is a person of color doesn’t make money. Go to the movies. Change the conversation. Representation matters.

For what it’s worth, I don’t think expanding public imagination is a “new style.” It is a return to the Democratic Party that went to the moon, passed the Civil Rights Act, + strove for the Great Society.

Weaponizing the strike as a way to cancel a beautiful, joyful series is flat out disgusting. The creators, cast, crew and amazing fan base deserved so much more.
#ALeagueOfTheirOwn
Due to the strikes, production on both A League Of Their Own and The Peripheral was delayed and could not start before 2024, pushing the Season 2 premieres to 2025. That would create a logjam in Amazon’s 2025 pipeline and would stretch the gap between A League Of Their Own's
