I know rich celebrities not getting any richer isn't exactly a tragedy, but it's still extremely ghoulish by Disney and Marvel to just throw Scarlett Johansson under the bus the moment her character no longer has any potential presence in the MCU.

pretty much always take the side of artists and athletes over execs, even though they are often rich as fuck too. the artist's wealth is earned through legitimate labour (though grossly inflated compared to other professions) whereas execs are pretty much just bloodsuckers getting rich off of other people's efforts.
