This isn't an actual script from the show. It's a mock-up he did after people started saying he was too busy to write a series, hence all the references being just days old.

How is he NOT too busy, though?! Damn, this dude works a lot.

The Ringer's Damage Control podcast did a whole episode about how he rebranded himself as a tortured genius woke pro-black guy after being seen as wack and problamatic in the early 2010s. It was really facinating.

artists are allowed to be public with their frustration and feelings of alienation, it's a common occurrence for a reason.

I have a friend that works on an animated series, and he is constantly talking about the politics involved. They'll write a script, they get notes on the script and have to change a bunch of things, often for dumb reasons but because the network says so, they have no choice. And then they have to resubmit it, and it has to be cleared by the lawyers, and blah, blah, blah... I had no idea it was such a drag. He still loves doing it, of course, but I guess I am not shocked there would be creative differences with the network/execs in a similar environment.

It's a kids show, so obviously that's different. But a lot of the notes they get have nothing to do with age-appropriateness or anything like that, just really nitpicky shit like the names of characters, what they are wearing, dialogue choices, etc. And then a lot of what they script is dictated by the animation budget - like, you can't have too many scenes in too many different places with dynamic backgrounds because animation is expensive af, even when it's outsourced, and using the same backgrounds is a lot cheaper. So they're kind of limited in that regard, too.



I'm not saying they didn't part ways with Donald Glover for other reasons, of course, just that animation can be surprisingly contentious behind the scenes. They got rid of the initial writing staff/showrunner on my friend's show for what amounted to "creative differences" as well - just like, conceptually what they wanted to do with the characters and their arcs was incompatible with what the network wanted. I am always surprised by his stories out of the writers room.

Sounds like hell. Our MD is a cunt too like he would sit in a meeting with an agency who probably spent long nights preparing the pitch and he would be like „nope nope this is shit nope nope this is ok nope nope“ without actually saying what he would like instead so they would pitch again a week later and he would just walk out without saying a word 2 mins in

That's pretty standard across a lot of TV not just animated.

I also just caught up with Atlanta and I'm dying for more episodes. I don't have the patience for this shit anymore, streaming sites have spoiled me into watching at my own pace.
