Her formula actually IS about offending the fan base ... Time and time again her team starts a controversy that insults the fans far ahead of release of any of the products, and the products themselves mess with existing lore and expectations. All for no reason other than to start a ruckus about the product so they can blame the fans for it failing.
I highly suspect Andor slipped past is because somewhere someone declared/decreed it "absolutely hands-off" in the creative stages, and it shows in how a polished product is delivered that has not been meddled with.
The fanbase that was once the biggest in the world, the one that KK just about personally destroyed with her nonsense and lies, that fanbase.
The same lies that you clearly enjoy gobbling up because an actual open thought about it seems foreign to you seeing how you immediately go on the offensive blaming non existent manosphere influence for the failure of Disney Star Wars.
I'll give you two examples, KK wearing a "The Force Is Female" t-shirt AND having lead actors spout that same declaration in interviews... while nowhere and never before was there ever a gender attributed to the force....
Now consider a man ever declaring the force to be male only .... He'd get chased off the internet, probably doxxed and his career damaged.
Another example, hire a proven man-hater as writer/director and have her drop man hating comments all over the place, how she enjoys hurting men and shocking them, her project also is cobbled together by shooting all kinds of holes in the existing lore. It turns out to be a really bad show ... yet somehow it is the fault of the male fans that it failed ...
Heck, it's the same with the "Star Wars has no people of color" and "Star Wars has no strong females" comments, they only come from the KK side of things, there is not a fan who mentioned it because it just is not true. And yet, somehow Star Wars fans are called racist and misogynistic...
Star Wars was destroyed by the bad products Disney released, no ifs and or buts about it, the slop KK put her stamp of approval on and then scapegoat the fans, new and old...
Like it or not, the blame that most of it's projects fail lies on that side, not on the fans turning their back on it.
You and @Geetnerd@lemmy.world are both right on the line for me to step in when it comes to personally insulting each other. You can disagree without belittling each other.
