This could be controversial!
She-Hulk writer Dana Schwartz has just dropped an undeniably funny Tweet in which the writer of the upcoming Disney+ TV show from Marvel Studios compared J.J. Abrams' Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. It's admittedly a little tasteless, but meant in jest. That hasn't stopped some people from getting offended on social media, of course!
In fairness, it isn't a great look for a new Disney employee to compare one of their movies to a virus that's killing thousands of people across the globe, and this could land the writer in hot water.
If the Tweet embedded below is deleted, it reads as follows: "COVID-19 is going to be like Rise of Skywalker. It’s a nightmare. It’s going to be a struggle. But then we’re going to get to come out the other side and pretend it never happened." Like we said, it could be controversial!
Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker received mostly negative reviews, but does it deserve to be compared to a pandemic? It's a joke, people, so let's not overthink this one too much, eh?
