Well, firstly, all those rumours did sound bad if taken on face value and taken as 100 per cent gospel truth. But behind-the-scenes issues can be fabricated or exaggerated. On places like this (SHH, CBM and other sites), it's such a hotbed of intense overreaction that it's hard to put any trust in anything. Things become 'epic' or 'disaster' very easily, and there's very little sense of perspective.
Especially after my mother died, I realised much of the internet (including these forums and social media) is just worthless babble that has no significance in the real world. My father doesn't even go on the internet, they don't even have an internet connection in their house, and he's managed a perfectly happy and balanced life without it, focusing on the things that really matter (such as family, love, happiness, health, financial stability, a sense of achievement). Not one element of my parents' full and stable life had anything to do with being on the internet, lol... surprise surprise.
And also, there are behind-the-scenes changes on almost every movie. Things get changed, reworked, cancelled, added. Reshoots take place, etc. I don't judge things on rumours. I like facts. If I don't have them, I have a healthy sense of caution.
I wonder who's crazier, the patron or the person who came up with the story?
