    I'm conflicted on how to feel about this. Conservatorships are bad and extreme and should only be used as a last resort for people who truly need assistance but on the other hand I know Amanda has had a rough and reckless past, so I get trying to put some protection on her in the past. I read an article that says she has been doing better lately so I'm inclined to say it seems unnecessary now.

    Conservatorships aren't inherently bad or extreme. My in-laws are the conservators of my brother-in-law who has down syndrome, it's a VERY good thing and far from extreme that they are his conservators.

    But yes, they are not a one-size-fits all, and yes they feel extreme for Britney or Amanda. I think they both obviously need help, but this specific version of help feels wrong.

    I should have been more clear, sorry. I meant they are bad and extreme for entertainment figures like Britney or Amanda.

    yeah Britney was able to do a Vegas residency and Amanda was able to get a degree in fashion so they at least have some degree of ability to function

    conservatorships are in the vast majority of cases necessary and very good. obviously these extremes are very dumb and the only ones we ever hear about though.

    I’ve seen a growing number of people claim that directors do this whenever they have a new movie coming out just to get more publicity. But clearly what happens is that they are trying to do publicity for their new movie and some interviewer goads them into talking about the MCU

    the debate has been over since Marty's op-ed but film media and MCU fans (and hate-clickers) keep the cycle going on endlessly

    It is so funny when the articles point out actors who have worked with both Marvel and the director have positive things to say about Marvel and act as if there isn't any sort of financial reason.

    The last part of the quoted sentence rings particularly true. These young ostensible leftists end up sounding like conservatives.
