Disney Fires Conservative Tim Allen as Buzz Lightyear, Replaces Him with Leftist SJW

[FA_Q2]

After all the dumb woke shit Disney is doing this is a example of when I don't really need hard proof to consider something is possibly true.

In the 90s I'd never had believed it at all, but now? It's not hard to see given their proven record of being pussy ass bitches about even the tiniest of things.

Hence why I stated it would not surprise me. The tiff over Gina Carrera was pretty damn clearly politically driven with nothing else really behind it. This is not the same case though and several good reasons have been presented here as to why they are recasting the role.

I mean, at the BARE MINIMUM, it must be acknowledged that Disney is going to try, and will almost certainly succeed, in monetizing that character LONG after Allen is dead. It is simply a fact that he will need to be recast and, considering a younger actor that may be cast in a live action of Lightyear, right now looks to be an ideal time to do so.

I can question what you say. This weekend a space company is going to send 4 astronauts to the space station many times cheaper then the government can. When the government introduces its new massive SLS rocket, the costs are going to suck. Advances come from the private sector without government mandates suffocating things. But we live permanently with Diversity, PC, Quotas, and what is the real lowered expectations. That now being called "equity". As we get poorer and we spend trillions of useless dollars on Climate Change bull, there will be massive more pollution and people using any fuel the can to survive. Coal and trees will use massively. We may look like Haiti in some areas cutting down the trees to stay warm.

But Space X is gladly taking the US governments 'socialism' $$$ for development, crew training and design.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk got $0 in pay in 2020, according to a company filing, but he did receive stock options during the year that are now worth $22 billion.
The filing is accurate — Musk received no base pay during the year.

Elon Musk, America’s dumbest smart guy, saw his net worth rise $36.2 billion on Monday, all thanks to a surge in the price of Tesla’s stock, according to Bloomberg’s Billionaires Index. The record-breaking rise in wealth, which puts Musk at the top of the list with $289 billion, comes as proposed taxes on the wealthy have hit several roadblocks in the form of Republicans in Congress who don’t want to see their precious billionaires burdened.

Elon Musk was born with an emerald spoon in his mouth, and when he needed more money for his various schemes, he turned to U.S. taxpayers for billions of dollars of subsidies and direct handouts," said Erica Payne, president and founder of Patriotic Millionaires.

Musk's companies—Tesla, SolarCity Corp., and SpaceX—received an estimated $4.9 billion in federal funding as of 2015 via subsidies and direct grants from the Treasury Department.

Musk will get a massive leg up from the Feds if the Democrats' funding bill goes through, since it contains billions more in 'programs' for him and his fellow wealthy Californians.

Trump's tax cut benefited everyone, but particularly by doubling our standard deduction on income tax. "Crumbs" as Nancy Pelosi called them.
CNN employees would fall under that.
The company pays corporate taxes which were dropped as well...which they now want to raise considerably.
I'm sure Pelosi will give her media friends a break tho.

Trump's tax cuts benefitted millionaires.
The rest of the serfs, got crumbs.

June 26 2018
The White House promised '70 percent' of the tax cut would go to workers. It didn't.
The Republican tax reform package that was supposed to raise wages and spur hiring has instead funded a record stock buyback and dividend spree, benefiting investors and company executives over workers.

President Donald Trump signed the bill in December last year, saying the corporate tax cut would make it favorable for companies to bring back into the U.S. cash stashed in foreign operations.

Why did Trump claim this?

January 15 2020
An enormous tax cut for middle-class Americans is coming soon, Donald Trump vowed on Tuesday, if he and his party win in November.

If this pledge sounds familiar, it's because he has made and broken it many times before.

Trump told the Wall Street Journal this week that if he wins a second term and Republicans regain control of Congress, he will cut taxes for the middle class. He declined to share any details of his plan with the paper, saying only that it would be unveiled in three months.

Tim Allen is a very good writer and producer; he may have other irons in the fire that are better than the Buzz Lightyear thing. I've never seen those movies so don't know if that role would beat having your own productions on the air re money, which he may not need at this point anyway; I think he would rather do his own stuff for less money than deal with Disney's faggot bullshit.

 

[Nuthin' Fancy]

Excuses....excuses.....if his career has cooled they can get him for less.
Most of the reason his career has cooled isn't because of lack of talent...but lack of offers from pedophile directors and producers that support the Democrat Party.

Sure...............excuses, excuses, Allen is washed up as Voight is, but the GQP, like Trump blame everyone else.

Funding included in President Biden’s massive social spending package would allow the U.S. Postal Service to fuel 70 percent of its massive mail delivery fleet with battery-electric power by the end of the decade, according to the agency, a major win for Biden and Postmaster General Louis DeJoy, who lobbied Congress for the money.

The $1.75 trillion legislation unveiled in the House on Thursday includes roughly $6 billion for the mail agency to buy trucks from Oshkosh Defense, which won a procurement battle in February to produce the fleet, dubbed “Next Generation Delivery Vehicles” or NGDVs. The Postal Service plans to buy up to 165,000 NGDVs, which can run on battery power or gasoline.

Their Bill includes some $17,500 in direct subsidies for purchases of electric cars whihc as mosr people are affordable for only a few people, and includes a subsidy for buying the Union made ones, i.e. mostly those built in California. Over 80% of the subsidies only benefit Californians. In fact the Bill mostly increases bennies for the middle class and wealthy, while their propaganda tries to sell a myth otherwise. This is easy to do when they know few people will actually read the Bill, including Congressmen themselves.

AS for the postal Service, the money would be better spent on hiring more workers and upgrading equipment, not providing a big windfall for stockholders in electric car gimmicks.

To be honest, no one is going to go see Lightyear based of the voice actor - the character himself is now large enough to draw the crowed on its own. In the initial movie, sure. Now Buzz Lightyear is FAR better known than Evans or Allen ever will be. I doubt there would be any difference in the sales had either actor been chosen.

 

[candycorn]

You really have to wonder when the right wing rage machine is now getting upset about cartoon characters losing their job.

 

[Eric Arthur Blair]

Chris Evans is a hot property...and younger. Why wouldn't they go with that?
I enjoyed Last Man Standing. But I would say Disney probably went with the bankable star that just had a hand in carrying a franchise for 10 years.
If this were Toy Story 5, then Allen would probably be cast as Buzz.

Toy Story did not make lots of money for Disney?
Does voicing a cartoon character really require a "younger hot property"?

I don't know if this is a rumor or not but lots of people will contort their minds into pretzels in order to
rationalize black listing actors for political reasons.

There really is no other good reason to replace someone who has made such a success out of voicing
a very popular cartoon character unless Tim Allen wanted to leave.
It certainly must be cheaper to keep Allen on than pay Chris Evans' fees.

 

[Eric Arthur Blair]

Cancel Culture lives LARGE in the RWI community.

They HATE cancel culture, but do it daily.
POS hypocrites.

Dixie Chicks were 'cancelled' way before it was a RWI talking point.
POS hypocrites.

This band still plays on and no one "cancelled them". The Chicks - Wikipedia
Your anger is hilarious and the one single example of "right wing cancel culture" is dubious
at best. Try stool softener, freak.

No one blacklisted Allen. If they did, they wouldn't have brought him back for Toy Story 4. No pretzels needed unless you are hungry.
Chris Evans just got done playing Captain America for almost 8 years. He's the hot property. Naturally, he's the bigger draw.
Again, money trumps politics...unless you shit all over yourself like Rosanne did.

ABC cancelled Last Man Standing because of ratings...money.
Fox ended up floating it and Allen and his castmates now get to walk out the door on their own terms.

ABC shit-canned the Roseann program when it was the highest rated comedy on television.

So you are absolutely and 100 percent wrong! Political considerations always trump ratings on
big time television.

"No one blacklisted Allen. If they did, they wouldn't have brought him back for Toy Story 4."
Actually Allen wouldn't have been used by ultra woke Disney to being with if his politics were
the only consideration.
Apparently Disney has no plans to explain why the Buzz Lightyear everyone has come to know
sounds nothing like Chris Evans.

Upgrading the equipment Louis destroyed?
When DeJoy got in there he destroyed millions of $$$ in mail sorting machines, slowed down the mail, deliberately.


Why does the GQP have such a distaste for unions?
Reagan?
The GQP brag, they will bring middle class good paying jobs but never deliver.


Oshkosh Corporation, formerly Oshkosh Truck, is an American industrial company that designs and builds specialty trucks, military vehicles, truck bodies, airport fire apparatus, and access equipment. The corporation also owns Pierce Manufacturing, a fire apparatus manufacturer in Appleton, Wisconsin, and JLG Industries, a leading manufacturer of lift equipment, including aerial lifts, boom lifts, scissor lifts, telehandlers and low-level access lifts. Based in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, the company employs approximately 16,000 people around the world. It is organized in four primary business groups: access equipment, defense, fire and emergency, and commercial.

Whining about Biden's tax incentives but not Trump's?
A massive new tax law called the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA), went into effect in 2018. Among other things, it greatly expanded bonus depreciation. During 2018 through 2022, you may deduct in a single year up to 100% of the cost of most types of personal property you use for business with bonus depreciation. However, bonus depreciation for passenger vehicles is limited to $8,000.

Because the passenger automobile depreciation limits don't apply to heavy vehicles, you can take full advantage of bonus depreciation when you purchase one. You can deduct 100% of the cost in one year if you use the vehicle 100% for business.

If your car is a passenger automobile, you can depreciate no more than $10,000 of the cost the first year. This is so no matter how much you paid for the car. You can also deduct another $8,000 the first year through bonus depreciation (see below). You may deduct up to $16,000 the 2nd year, $9,600 the third year, and $5,760 every year after that.

'Over 80% of the subsidies only benefit Californians. In fact the Bill mostly increases bennies for the middle class and wealthy'.
Of course, you have no proof, just GQP propaganda.

The GQP called for boycotts, just like they did for MLB and the NFL.

At a 2003 performance in London, Natalie Maines of the American country band the Dixie Chicks, now known as the Chicks, made a statement criticizing President George W. Bush and the imminent Allied invasion of Iraq. Maines said the band was ashamed to be from the same state as Bush and that they did not support the war.

After the statement was reported by the British newspaper The Guardian, it led to backlash from American country listeners, who were mostly right-wing and supported the war. The Dixie Chicks were blacklisted by thousands of country radio stations, received death threats, and were criticized by other country musicians.

Of course, when the war on the wrong country, went south, the GQP tried to lay the blame on democrats, for believing the GQP lies to sell the war.

That's ONE example of a right wing boycott, that didn't even take hold as The Chicks are still playing
and doing shows together. Let me know when baseball and football stop playing their games.

Leftist cancel culture is so big and pervasive it can't even be adequately be addressed.

What is cancel culture? And which children's book authors have been 'cancelled'?

Both classic and modern authors have been cancelled

www.goodto.com

You are the elephant complaining about gnats. It's absurd.
Only some of the canceled from this year alone can even be identified. But I bet you get the message.
