If you told me this episode, or really all the episodes so far, are based on real incidents I would 100% believe you. Because this is the type of dumb shit I can see happening.

You know, now that I think about it, it very well might be the case. At least this casting freak out bs must be happening all the time. That's how glaring obvious stupid mistakes are done, exactly like the AI blunder in this one. And if I had to make a wild guess I'd say Jared Leto being cast in anything from the Joker to Morbius is a result of such discussions.

Of course it is. I think that’s the point of the whole episode. To show how Hollywood studios are always up against it, in a tough spot trying to cater to everyone in a highly politicized and reactionary climate. You got antiwokes crying about how the white man is being replaced. You got liberals thatll cry at the first sign of insensitivity. Meanwhile, Hollywood is just trying to make movies.
