Looks like someone's failing to pull off a Wounded Gazelle Gambit.
And staff wars are never fun. *sigh*
I agree that Eddie was definitely playing both sides against the middle. His commitment to quality and relentless work on the set meant he'd firmly ingratiated himself to the cast and crew above anyone else on the production staff, as well as the Disney higher ups. I feel like he was trying to make himself indispensable to the show, so no matter how delayed the scripts got or how NON-DISNEY the finale was, he couldn't be removed. He gambled big and loss everything. The difference between Xanatos Gambit and Xanatos Roulette.Originally Posted by Mugenhunt
But when you look at his mode of operation, it makes sense. We know Cameron was a member of the writing staff, and he went out of his way to flame Chip as well as PR's brand manager at Buena Vista. He feigned being a PR fan until Mesh revealing he was one of the staff writers on the moderator board leaked out and we learned he was actively stirring up trouble. Both Cameron (who, honestly, had to be Matt Negrete) and Eddie were all too eager to call out Chip as a scab in Jungle Fury to potentially sabotage his writing career as a WGA member. Considering that going so behind schedule and potentially overbudget has no doubt destroyed much of Eddie's own career, the bitterness in those sour grapes is incredible.
But it makes sense. The instant Disney forced Eddie out, the cast and crew are alleged to be revolting against the new management. Cameron pops up and starts bashing Chip and BVE management as a sockpuppet for Eddie (I'll probably never forgive Mesh for the fact he KNEW who Cameron was and let him get away with this the entire time while JUDD LYNN got drug through the mud). Eddie was politicking like a pro even after he lost his job so he'd be the martyr. Cameron especially is the most depraved bit of... It's honestly worse than Olesker in a certain way. It's an attempt to sabotage a man's career.
Honestly, huge chunks of Eddie's story have never made any sense. The fact he was buddying up to the actors and not letting his writing staff do anything, the huge untold story as to just what he did to Jackie... The very idea Judd was only ever called "Chip" by Disney and thus poor, innocent Eddie couldn't do what the fans would have wanted and returned the prodigal son to the franchise he'd saved from certain doom twelve years earlier? That somehow, when informed by his bosses that he needed to hire a man for his writing staff, he was not provided a RESUME?
Every word out of Eddie's mouth is engineered to be "gosh, I was just working so hard to make the best possible series and those big mean corporate bosses did stuff without my prior knowledge! Shucks. Will you kids help me tell my replacement -- who, by the way, is a linebreaker and a piece of human garbage, but still my fanboy hero for writing the best season of PR ever -- how he should ACTUALLY end this season rather than tell a story of his own?" He's the hapless, overachieving nice guy who got screwed over by his boss for caring too much. Nobody questions why John wasn't privy to this information he needed to have as story editor, or asks why Jackie was let go. Does that seem MORE than a little suspicious to anyone else now?
That said, Dan does regard the current ending as completely appropriate for Dillon, so at least we know one member of the cast doesn't hate Chip.

In both of those, neither did Gem and Gemma.
Well all right. I didn't know about that bit.
I hope there's a good reason for that too. I almost want to think that they're probably robots, or by a longshot, holograms like Dr. K made of herself.In both of those, neither did Gem and Gemma.
Like I said before, if that was just a season finale, then I would except it. However thisis the series finale, and ending it on that note would just seem out of place.
And I agree with that.
i think that if venjix used dillons body as a host and then the rangers had to destroy him then that wouldve been awesome but to say that Dillon never existed and everything was fake...that i have a problem with lol
Dan also said in his recent interview that after Eddie left that the writers were aware of i believe it was 70% or 80% of what eddie had planned for the season...So if they were aware of his proposed finale then we could very well be getting it or something very similar....Dan and Eddie have lied before about tenaya and Dillon not being related so Dan could very well be lying about Judd having to come up with a whole new finale that wasnt as good as Eddie's..
The same sources that Chris got this information from told him that Judd is doing another ending, different than Eddie's. And quite frankly, I doubt Judd would ever consider ending the show that way. He's worked on it since MMPR. He'll give it a respectful ending.
I found the name calling rather horrid at first against Eddie, but these revelations make sense, its really horrid thinking back how this board was used as a well pep rally. He did a good job on the beginning I'll give him that, the vamp over , the character focused writing, Go-onger was never going to be easy footage to adapt. Eddie's ideology was selfish from the beginning, I still cant believe that the most character focus in the whole thing would have been to a fake persona of the villain.
