I think a lot of this is because Hollywood is now so dominated by making a handful of comic-book franchises, making it essentially put most of its eggs in a small number of baskets.

Just a few days ago, Searchlight scheduled Magazine Dreams for an awards-friendly December release. But you can scratch that now:
Oh, that's the least of it. The next two or three phases of the MCU revolve around him as the main antagonist (already seen in Loki and Ant-Man: Quantumania). I can't imagine the weekend that Kevin Feige is having. The dangers of a cinematic universe: the actors who play the characters are all too human. For now at least.

I know, presumption of innocence. But 1) people are chiming in left and right to say they've seen this behavior for years and 2) the word "strangulation" would be really hard to get past in any case.

This spectacular a fall makes Nate Parker's trajectory look smooth by comparison.

It's hard to believe the guy got this far with so many people ready to vouch for what a lousy human being he is.
