I don’t hate Kathleen Kennedy or anything, she’s just doing her job. In fact she’s not even really a cause so much as a symptom, but fact is she was hired because her vision matches what the marketing people want: dumbed down, mass-appeal media that speaks to no one and offends no one. She has made it work before in her career, and (likely, in my opinion) loves the formula for its efficacy, not its artistic value. It’s about the money, and enshittification. I’m as confused as everyone else how Andor managed to slip through the gatekeeping, but very glad for it. Maybe they’ll learn that there’s a market for more than just “childlike wonderment.”
