Sounds like it just wasn’t his style:
GLOVER I don’t think we ever felt comfortable enough with each other. And that’s OK. That’s what happens when you’re two captains. It’s like, “This is how I run my ship.” “Well, this is how I run my ship.” And it’s such a big idea, this show, I don’t think it can have two captains. I mean, she rewrote the pilot, and I saw her script and I was like, “It’s definitely not my style,” but if she’d done it with her in it, we’d all be like, “This is a great f***ing show.”
Come on bro “oh it’s not my style” is just a nice way of putting it. You don’t end a creative relationship simply cus “oh that script wasn’t my style”…..he prolly thought it was ass but he doesn’t wanna embarrass her publicly
GLOVER And now I’m like, “I know I’m the s***. I put in the work. And my idea of what is cool is a better road for everybody.” And maybe I’m wrong, but I’m like, every time I try and push it there, in general, people are like, “Wow, I’m glad I have that option now.” Because I do have a vision for the world.
Damn this nigga Donald sound like me lmao. He prolly a libra.
this new article is super good. explains well why phoebe waller bridge left the show, how the atlanta writing room was, responds to the misogynoir allegations

Lmaoooo at Donald trying to get advice from Billy Dee and Brad Pitt and raving about their characters, and their response just being “idk. Be charming I guess”

ehh, this is coming from a guy who gave a 5 minute speech solely about how talented she was and how pissed he was that he didn’t make Fleabag (one of the best shows of the past 10 yrs) after he saw it
they’re both extremely smart ppl and every time he speaks about her you can tell it’s all love, i think their visions just genuinely didn’t align

Still doesn’t change that he thought her vision/version for this sucked. It doesn’t mean he thinks she sucks as a creative, he thinks she’s amazing. He also said she wasn’t fully invested into this 100% like he would have wanted.
He literally said he wasn’t comfortable telling her her ideas were crap the same way him and the Atlanta writers would tell each other that.
Totally different idea from any previous iteration. Donald Glover writes/directs like he's rapping

if that was the case i don’t think he would’ve added the bit at the end saying that if it was something phoebe was doing on her own that it would’ve been great, just different visions
you’re putting a negative spin on this that really isn’t there

Lmao bro it’s not that hard to understand what he’s saying. He literally said he’s uncomfortable being honest about his thoughts with her, he’s sugar coating tf out of it to avoid s***ting on his friend. Nothing wrong with that. That’s called media training.
Also him thinking her version sucked isn’t a “negative spin” he literally said he loves working with people where they can tell each other their idea sucked, and unfortunately he didn’t have that type of honest relationship with Phoebe. It’s not hard to understand what he’s saying.
Lol I'm both black and an artist

This is code for "wow, that s*** was ass. Oh my god bruh."

Yeah my reading isn't that he thought her take was garbage, it was just not what he wanted to make and if it was her project it would have been fine
Don't even understand what nigga's problem is. Is it because they're ugly? Or that they've cast people of color in roles that were originally played by white people? Why would the latter even be a problem if "I'm against movies with white people as the stars". Bro also said that he rather would've seen "Jane played by a beautiful black woman, but we know Donald wouldn't be into that" so is her being Asian the problem?
Blud's just waffling
The current bullshit culture war we've been experiencing since like 2015 has just straight up ruined a ton of media/art-based discussion online (and offline even), it's incredibly depressing yet none too surprising we've reached this point to say the least
just finshed
wtf is peoples problem with the ending I thought it was perfect
the scene with them on the floor was beautiful
