Ladies and gentlemen of the Reject Nation, this is big. Ezra Miller is still the flash. Five-picture panel. I can't believe it. The whole DC who now hinges on him. Oh, wait, no. Wrong celebrity. Wrong celebrity.

My bad. Jonathan Majors, this is major news. Just found out I was shooting a movie reaction and then I had a whole bunch of text messages about it. You got dropped by his talent manager and his PR team following the assault charges. this is pretty much like the next step after that like he still has this agency who's what i'm surprised they're sticking with him well for how much longer to me it just seems like it's only a matter of time now before he's officially going to be replaced as king the conqueror we've already been hearing talks for the past like at least a week now there's scoopers like jeff snider going out there

saying that marvel has already been having meetings with jonathan majors as agent about potential ways to move forward who they can be potentially looking at for who they can replace jonathan majors with And I feel like you can replace King the Conquer, I do. And because as great of a performer as he is for King the Conqueror, at the end of the day, they have opened up the multiverse, they have opened up variants. They've done it all. So they could totally get a different face on there. Yeah, they can.

But to me, this is more than enough to have me go down the road, at least, saying, yeah, this guy's on his way out. Especially with like a PR team. I was talking with Michael Tesla. It was a lot more familiar with this sort of area when it comes to, like, the public relations department, a PR team. they're they have celebrities and they're used to dealing with all kinds of kinds of crap coming their way about the celebrities yeah situations like this are part of their

job and then you know following the whole thing with what first came out regarding this assault accusations and charges the allegations and whatnot and then following the the backlash of the statement that was released by the lawyer the text messages released that just did not help him out and then this has been silent it's just been quiet on their end ever since just been really quiet they must know a little bit bit more. They have to know a lot more than what we all know. And for this to be the thing where they are dropping and they are firing him from as a client, right? Yeah, to me, this is just confirmation that he's on his way out. Yeah, because I don't know. Like, if anybody is privy to the inside information

about the truth of what really happened, I mean, you know, agencies, managers, they don't take precedence over like legal counsel, blah, blah, but you know they're high on the list. And they have to have enough intel to base this decision on in the first place. So I mean, yeah, it's like if he's, He had real concrete evidence that he was innocent. I feel like they would just stay silent and wait for the court proceedings to take place. Yeah, this seems like a pretty loud message. And this is only, this is like the day this is being announced. So his agency could drop him at any moment, you know, in the future here.

Maybe by the time this is uploaded. Absolutely. Because sometimes you get on these news stories, you wait, like, we've already kind of avoided some other things that have come out before saying anything. But to me, there's a reason all these messages are coming in because it's pretty much. Here's what comes next after that. this is the next step down yeah he's already got all this stuff for loki season two filmed i don't know if you know replacing him or whatever is going to lead to a delay one of the alarm bells going off

on my head about why they just haven't gone ahead and done it is because they had that whole james gun situation where he was getting canceled over some stuff tweets though not jokes not quite the same but yeah they fired him and then they eventually just rehired him the court case has yet to unfold there's still got a few weeks until that's all I mean I could go for a while but still got a few weeks until it begins yeah so I imagine that Marvel if I company everyone at Disney is probably like

maybe you can just like be quiet for a while and then just wait it out and see how it all goes and then maybe by then you know depending if Jonathan Majors gets gets away with it and then Loki comes out and everyone likes him again

maybe we don't have to say anything at all yeah we might be able to just go through just power through this lock it up and then at the very end say see we had your back the entire time nothing to worry about it as much as i joked about the ezra miller thing at the top of this it is a different situation to me like to me like to me i still feel like that ezra miller shit has to be addressed i think that has to be talked about the same way i'm going to watch loki season two and be like you know john the major same way i watch crete three because i'm like yeah it's already done a bunch of people worked on it and whatever i still feel like you got to talk about the ezra miller thing this is about him not content in other projects that have yet to be filmed. Yeah, that he's already inked to be a huge part of. Like, I don't think they're going to go out of their way. I'd be really surprised. I have the technology to do it, but I would be very shocked if they actually go,

oh, we got to reshoot all his scenes now from Loki season two. I just don't see them doing that. At most, I can see them going into, like, the, you know, spoilers for anybody who cares for Quantum Mania, 3,2, 1. But the Council of Kangs, you could, you know, CG various other faces just to bolster the idea that variants don't all have to have the same face. But I think we've seen through Loki and Spider-Man, No Way Home especially. Yeah, variants can have as many faces and species types as you want.

So I think while it seems like a really big thing to get past right now, I don't think it would be as hard. Especially if you find a talent who is just as electric and who can captivate people, I think then the conversation will shift to like, wow, thank God they found whoever, you know, steps up because this is a huge star-making moment for them. hope they keep their shit together i haven't looked up who the the girlfriend is i don't know if that information i don't even know if it's out of who i would hope not i i would hope not as well you know if these charges are going the way they have been going making it seem like yeah there there's evidence that he really did do what he is being accused of doing i mean this poor woman is suffering right now as well because when you even when you look we did a whole video about i mean when looking at those texts, like one way to interpret that,

someone in a very, you know, trauma bonding type of toxic, abusive relationship, right? Again, it's just allegations still at this, even at this point. It's still just allegations, right? At the same time, like, man, yeah, I know all the focuses on the celebrity, the star here, but whoever this woman is, my God, this is such a shitty-ass situation to be in. Well, yeah, I feel for her almost no matter what,

because unless it is that one in a billion situation where she is just a conniving, you know, a story-weaving person. Any version of this is really kind of tragic, whether she is, as they have reported in some kind of emotional crisis, whether it was actually just the black and white he assault. Anything in between, like all of that is really harsh and ugly.

And the one thing that this all makes me wonder is they came out so gung-ho, and they're like, we have this video, we have this evidence. Look at this. And the text message could have been maybe like a test balloon, honestly, because what I wonder is if the video or whatever they have maybe doesn't fully

exoner like maybe it's just a bad situation where two people are both kind of in a state of tension, heat and anguish and maybe the thing just isn't black and white to the point that you can just say oh yeah he's innocent and it's fine you know but John listen they have already delayed

my Marvel projects enough as it is and as a fan I really just want them to get back on track with the MCU and you know that's fair get to secret wars I don't know what I was thinking that was most important. Get to King the Conqueror again

We're already getting like five less Marvel movies a year. Like, we can't afford to wait any longer. And that matters more. That matters more. The Disney Monopoly must continue. Sure. So I have some picks for who you can replace Jonathan Majors with. Oh.

Yeah. These are good picks, guys. Good. Let's do it. Glenn Howardton. Oh, sure. Yeah, yeah. I think he's hot right now.

Uh-huh. Miles Teller. Another hot one. Great one. Pretty much. Anyone from Top Gun Maverick. Dude, just give Robert Downey Jr. to replace him. Robert Down Jr. will be a great one.

I'm sure there's some comic book that could, explain it away for me definitely what if some people think that's racist like oh getting a white guy whatever racist king is blue in the comics hear me out shekeel o'neo oh shekeel o'neal oh dude and he is due for a redemption comeback story like how perfect would that be especially after steel i really love wanda sykes i think she is hilarious and can get you a little bit more comedy i feel like he's a little bit too serious and quantum meaning don't joke i 100% approve that a casting choice i will i'll watch Wanda Sykes Kang all day. Regina Hall could play Kang.

As much as we're messing around, actually, Yaya, Abdul Mateen would be a perfect game. Yeah, I don't know. I think about it's a watchman. That's Regina King. Yeah, yeah, but... No, I mean, in all seriousness, like, this is a real serious situation here

for everyone involved, but, I mean, to me, like, a lot seems to be pointing towards he did it. It just doesn't... Just a lot of things are going to be pointing in that direction. At least to 51% or more At fault. And so I just hope whoever this woman is that she's okay right now

because this is a terrifying situation to be in, a soul-consuming situation to be in. Oh, yeah. I hope she's okay. Marvel will be fine, guys. That's the least. This should be the least of anyone's worries. The MCU will be okay.

They'll figure it out and it will be fine. In fact, more people will watch that movie regardless because of, you know, seeing how they adjust to the situation. And if he is innocent, if he is innocent, then I hope that we are able to move past it if if he is yeah okay that's all I can really hope for is just well we got wait to see how plays out I'm just like well it was freaking surprising it's actually I thought all this would be put to a halt until the the trial or whatever yeah that's that's that's when I thought we would start getting its information

but now that's not inspiring it's a big alarm bell but what do you guys think uh do you think that this is leaning in the direction of him actually getting fired. Leave her thoughts down below. Let's end on a funny note.
