Either the author is accurate or... they're talking about a conspiracy theory they believe in.
To be honest, the write-up on the same site about the Little Mermaid[1] and how what the studio did was hypocritical "virtue signalling" makes me think maybe they're more of the latter.
And I write this as someone who concluded from the trailer and the noise that female Ghostbusters suuucked, and to have it confirmed from this[2] analysis.

- scarface74 4y agoWhy should there be any controversy that a Black lady is playing a mermaid. I don’t know about you. But I’ve seen as many Black mermaids in real life as White mermaids…

- Animats 4y agoWell, Ghostbusters (2016) lost at least $70 million.[1] And killed the franchise. Thus desperate efforts to blame somebody, anybody. Probably for in-house blame-shifting purposes. Captain Marvel had a different problem. The character is so overpowered as to be unreasonable. Jump in the air and do interstellar travel?

- pushcx 4y agoIt bombed, but it didn't kill the franchise. Another movie came out in 2021, a video game is coming out in a few months, and another movie will come out next year.
- motogpjimbo 4y agoThe person you're responding to is probably referring to the plans to release direct sequels to Ghostbusters 2016, which were shelved after that film flopped.
- deadbunny 4y agoI mean Captain Marvell was always OP in the comics Power creep isn't anything new.
