Gina Carano blasts ex-boss Kathleen Kennedy over wokeness after watching 'South Park' special exposing 'why Disney movies all suck now'
"South Park" unleashed their most recent special last week, and it immediately drew praise for mocking the recent Hollywood trend of recasting roles that were previously held by white characters and replacing them with minorities and women. The new animated special also took aim at Disney's recent wokeness in developing entertainment content as well as slamming Lucasfilm head Kathleen Kennedy – which was applauded by actress Gina Carano.
The most recent "South Park" special is titled "South Park: Joining The Panderverse." The storyline has a main plot that Disney uses a "Pander Stone" to make movies appealing to everyone.
In the cartoon special, Kennedy's character describes the Pander Stone as: "An ancient piece of artificial intelligence that could be used to make the same movies over and over again while appealing to absolutely everyone."
However, Kennedy's character feels pressure to make pandering movie franchises and abuses the Pander Stone – in turn it opens up another dimension known as the "Panderverse."
The interdimensional portal ushers in women of color who all replace the beloved "South Park" 4th-grade characters.
As Blaze News previously reported, "The 'South Park' special will mock Hollywood's attempt to score woke points by recasting roles with female and minority actors."
In reactions online, many culture influencers were impressed by the no-holds-barred "South Park" special.
Eric D. July – founder of Ripperverse Comics – commented on the new "South Park" special, "This new episode highlights all of the issues with modern entertainment. The hilarious part is that much of it isn’t really presented as a ‘joke.’ For the most part, they’re just funneling exactly what has happened through the South Park characters. That’s how much of a ‘joke’ it actually is. My only gripe is that they’re a tad late to the party. This episode should’ve been made 3-4 years ago. During that time, we are all gaslit and told that this wasn’t happening. Now it’s so bad that it’s undeniable."
The Critical Drinker declared, "South Park taking no prisoners with this one."
Commentator Brandon Morse proclaimed, "South Park remains the most important show on television."
Podcaster Matt Kadish noted, "So, South Park is saying what the 'toxic' fans have been saying since 2018. Better late than never, I suppose."
Donald Trump Jr. chimed in, "Hahahahaha. As always South Park doesn’t miss."
NFL player David Bakhtiari added, "Man, I love South Park. No one is safe and that’s the beauty in it."
Commentator Luke Rudkowski warned, "Protect South Park at all costs."
Actor Matthew Marsden proclaimed, "I love South Park."
The new special also caught the attention of Gina Carano – especially since the episode ridiculed Lucasfilm boss Kathleen Kennedy.
To backtrack, Carano starred in the highly successful "The Mandalorian" series before she was fired from the Disney show in February 2021.
Carano was terminated by Disney for the alleged crime of sharing a social media post that compared criticism against conservatives to the oppression that Jews faced under Nazi Germany. She had portrayed Cara Dune on the popular "Star Wars" show.
Many defended the MMA fighter turned actress for her opinions – including "The Mandolorian" star Bill Burr. Despite the pleas, Disney canned Carano over her opinion on social media.
The "South Park" special targets Kennedy, and at one point Cartman tells her of the interdimensional dilemma that she caused, "That’s actually the best explanation I’ve heard about why Disney movies all suck now.' Kennedy's character admits that Disney was being "lazy" to create pandering content.
Carano chimed in on how creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker brilliantly mocked Disney's attempt to go woke which has only hurt its bottom line. According to a report published in June, Disney box office losses totaled nearly $900 million on its last eight studio releases.
Carano blasted Kennedy on her X social media account, and claimed her former boss engages in retaliation to anyone who opposes her.
Carano claimed that Kennedy would launch a revenge mission to "have her publicist ghouls make sure Variety and Hollywood Reporter run hit pieces about the 'South Park' creators and their families smearing their names through every useful idiot she has under her thumb who would sell their soul to work for Lucasfilm, she’ll activate her online mob to repeat that the 'South Park' creators are racist, bigot, transphobes, and demand the 'South Park' creators publicly apologize by only using words she approves of and finally she’ll demand they subject themselves to a re-education course of 45 people in the LGBTQ community zoom call to sit there and listen of how badly they got their feelings hurt all over a little boop of a 'South Park' episode."

Staggering Disney box office losses total nearly $900 million for recent movies, according to analysis
The Walt Disney Company lost nearly $900 million on recent movies, according to Hollywood analysis.
The Walt Disney Company suffered losses nearing $900 million on its last eight studio releases, according to box office analyst Valliant Renegade.
Disney struggled with staggering losses despite numerous notable movie releases. The financial losses of nearly $1 billion were encountered during the release of the following movies: "Lightyear," "Thor: Love and Thunder," "Strange World," "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever," "Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania," "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3," "The Little Mermaid," and "Elemental."
According to Valliant Renegade, the eight movies cost $2.75 billion, but only brought in $1.86 billion for Disney, totaling a loss of $890 million.
"Strange World" lost $197 million and "Lightyear" lost $106 million, according to Deadline.
Recent Disney movies have embraced "woke" storylines.
"Strange World" featured a gay romance.
The animated children's "Lightyear" has a lesbian kiss in it.
"Elemental" talks about the evils of xenophobia, and boasts the entertainment company's first non-binary character.
"One of the things that we always talk about here, that is the perfect time to remind everybody, is that Disney consumes all of its own content post-theatrical," Valliant Renegade stated. "Meaning that Disney that used to license their big content out like the entire MCU [Marvel Cinematic Universe] to places like Netflix for years, those were billions of dollars' worth of third-party contracts that have now been taken off the table."
"So not only do we need to consider how much money Disney has lost at the box office, we also need to consider how much money Disney has lost in economic-opportunity costs," the Hollywood analyst said in a YouTube video. "You see, that's how much money they could have made had they actually taken these films and licensed them to Netflix, or Amazon Prime, or even similar to what Universal does with a split Pay 1 window."
Valliant Renegade added, "If Disney had just taken the Universal-type deal with those two major streamers, Disney would have a lot more money in its pocket. But they've chosen to keep it all home to support Disney+."
Bob Iger returned as Disney's CEO last November, replacing Bob Chapek.
In February, Disney announced that the company was undergoing a "strategic restructuring."
Last month, Disney said that it had cut 7,000 jobs.
Variety reported, "The 7,000 layoffs — which represent 3.2% of Disney’s total headcount of about 220,000 worldwide as of Oct. 1, 2022 — are part of Disney’s efforts to achieve about $5.5 billion in cost savings. Of that, $2.5 billion represents 'non-content costs' (including labor costs) and $1 billion of those targeted cost-reductions were already underway in February, Iger said. Disney is aiming for an annualized reduction of $3 billion in non-sports content costs, expected to be realized over the next several years."
