He wanted some creative control because the writers were going off source material. I don't blame him for leaving. His reputation was on the line as he was the main character. permalink fedilink source parent [–] pacific@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago Are you saying he’s not a nice guy? Also, why are you writing notes for 2 things? How many notes do you have?! permalink fedilink source parent
