Good way to garner support to your cause, making fun of the rising star of the moment.

Shut up

Most of the comments seem like pretty harmless jokes saying "better get over here and help us, you're a writer too"

The only one that seemed like it might have been malicious is "Without writers Jenny Ortega will have nothing to punch up"

But even that's a stretch.

Oh no not jokes

Rising star destined to play emo roles forever

For context, Jenna chastised the writers for their dumb ass writing and changes the lines herself for Wednesday.

Shes a hero for standing her ground against millennial writers which are actually ruining media writing.

Whether you like or dislike the writers' work, it does not matter. They still generate money for these studios and are not being paid their value. The point is to join them in solidarity so that when your workplace is able to unionize and start striking, they are there for you as well. Hence why you'll see Teamsters not cross the picket lines during these strikes.

They salty as fuck she called them out on their bullshit writing.

The interview in question was in March.

Were writers on strike in March?

the jenna jokes are pretty minor even playful jokes
the only people trying to make it a big deal are people trying to maliciously sic a rising stars fanbase on them to try to demonize their completely justified strike

But also, writers will do better with the support of actors too. Guy that plays Lucifer is out there bringing the support of his fan base. Jenna Ortega woukd bring in even more support.

lol that sign is funnier than 90% of the writer's signs

The writers write the fucking lines and actors are useless without them.

Unless Jenna is cool with porn or a reality show idk

Dang tc, which side of the fence are you on

I've said it before and I'll say it again:

They couldn't have picked a better time to give studios the excuse to heavily invest in AI.

Loool omg I didn't think it was possibly to love him more. I just finished Lucifer final season 6 and that is better writing than the entire show.

How dare Jenny Ortega

This tbh

what

just an FYI jenna ortega is hyper "woke"

so you ppl trying to champion her are very ignorant

the lines she reworked where garbage things like wednsday acting like a cliche teenage girl over the stupid love triangle plot every one hated

she has made it very clear she supports wednesday getting with enid ya know a same sex couple

and this is clearly just the writers joking about the fact she changed her lines and thus is a writer herself
