On top of that, they wasted $85 billion where that can be used to have good WiFi in small rural towns.
Hell, they even alienated the entire entertainment industry by going with a experimental hybrid model where they release movies in theaters simultaneously on the same day it debuts on HBO Max. Is it no wonder Hollywood is cheering that Jason Kilar, the ATT handpicked CEO of Warner Media, is being thrown out once Discovery merged with them.
Doing the duel release was the best option available all things considered. Ironically it was the piece of shit director of the piece of shit Dune rip-off who threw the biggest tantrum, because he knows damn well his film is going to flop regardless and yet still demanded a theatrical release purely for the ego boost he would get even though it's a garbage remake and not even a full fucking movie, but half the novel with it basically known that it's going to flop so badly that we won't get the second half made.
It takes a turbo autist to take that message, and twist it into "ugly people should only get married to each other" before dismissing it as a message that wasn't really there.
To be fair, BOTH Lithgow and Meyer's characters in Shrek were ugly as sin. Lithgow's character was an ugly as fuck midget and you can make a case that Shrek was the literal lesser evil visually since he was tall and did not possess the midget gene. Also, the evil good looking prince doesn't show up until the sequels, long after Shrek and Fiona had established their marriage and had kids with the added plot point that Shrek 3 revolved entirely around Fiona looking for a replacement in the line of succession because neither her or her husband could stand being the actual rulers and wanted to go back to the woods and not have to deal with the headache of being royalty.
If anything, you would have a better case for an otherkin metaphor for Fiona and Shrek 1 as Fiona has an otherkin (ogre) alternate mode and in the end, she choses to be an ogre full time after falling for an ogre.
The thing I hate about the Wokies is how they act like complete asses to everybody, then get shocked when there are consequences. I mean, look at the shock last year when the middle-class fascists chased "peaceful protestors" away last year with guns. "WE get to murder the Untermenschen!"
See also their attempt to gaslight people claiming "cancel culture" doesn't exist while still actively engaging in it like they do. They REALLY don't like it when they are being the one taking the shotgun barrel to the face and having their head explode into bloody bits of bone and gore as punishment for their evil.
The women who screech the loudest about abortion rights are always those too ugly to be impregnated. That pink triangle/vagina sign is basically the 21st century woke equivalent to this sign:

Technically there are five types of women who are pro-abortion:
1. Nightmare fuel sufferers who are terrified of a pregnancy going bad and killing them
2. Women who are terrified of being raped/molested or having a family member or friend raped/molested and forced to give birth to a rapist/pedophile's child
3. Sluts who want to fuck around and not be stuck with a kid
4. Women who are bio-libertarians that think "my body, my choice" trumps what other people think.
5. Women who think kids are basically a financial drain and not real people and would prefer to just kill an unborn kid than be stuck paying the tab from raising the kid.
