    My dude, don't do this. (From here: https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/features/ray-fisher-opens-up-about-justice-league-joss-whedon-and-warners-i-dont-believe-some-of-these-people-are-fit-for-leadership … )pic.twitter.com/4JmBzQJKiF

    Text of screenshot: "Whedon sent out an email asking for questions, comments or "fulsome praise," but Fisher says it became clear: "All he was looking for was the fulsome praise." Trying to strike a jocular tone, Fisher responded that he mourned the loss of the Cyborg material but was moving on. He said he had notes to avoid issues in terms of representation of the character. But in a call with Whedon, Fisher says he had barely started to talk when the filmmaker cut him off. "It feels like I'm taking notes right now, and I don't like taking notes from anybody — not even Robert Downey Jr.," he said. Other sources on the project say Whedon was similarly dismissive of Gadot and Momoa when they questioned new lines."

        Many notes are annoying. Studio notes can be annoying for sure! But if you're not taking notes from your direct creative collaborators, ESPECIALLY the people who have to play the characters you write, that's an abrogation of duty.

        I hate to make this thread about ~~~how I am a good person~~~ but by far the hardest notes session I had on @ArdenPod was when a fellow trans woman told me she thought I had missed the mark with her character. I got super defensive about ~~~my vision~~~ but she was right.

        I was a whiny baby, but her note led to what I think is our best episode to date. Get out of your own way! It'll make things better!

        Oh my God. If I ever call something "a fun moment of synergy," please fire me and then force me to get a job as, like, a short-order cook.pic.twitter.com/acYyCpVYLo

        Text of screenshot: "The tension only escalated when the issue of having Cyborg say "booyah" arose. That phrase had become a signature of the character thanks to the animated Teen Titans shows, but the character had never said it in the comics or in the original script. Fisher says that Johns had approached Snyder about including the line, but the director didn't want any catchphrases. He managed the situation by putting the word on some signs in his version of the film, as an Easter egg. But Johns' rep says the entire studio believed the booyah line was "a fun moment of synergy."

        This is the man who made Age of Ultron! Do you really think he NEEDS to take notes?! (Yes, the answer is emphatically yes)

        The way tv/movie people pathologize the whole concept of feedback/requests/comments/changes into the passive term “notes” and then build up a whole personality around not allowing them is one of the funniest things to observe as an outsider

        It’s a particular type of dick move to specifically ask for comments, and then respond with “I don’t even like hearing comments from someone much more famous than you!”

        Which is funny, since RDJ supposedly went off script repeatedly and a lot of the ad-libs are in both films.
