What's his solution if not striking though? He thinks it's reductive, but what other options are there? Especially when you have studio heads like Iger acting like they can just bleed the actors/writers dry until they cave, rather than give up an inch.

98 percent of the union voted to authorize a strike. The very least he can do is not speak out against his colleagues.

There are always exceptions to any rule. Notice how in these labor strikes the media always hones in on that one labor guy who wants to side with our billionaire overlords? How come they never find and interview the one rich guys who thinks that maybe, yeah, people deserve a living wage.

"I support my union, I do, and I stand with them, but I do not support striking, I dont, he said during an appearance at Galaxycon in Raleigh, NC. I think it is a reductive negotiating tactic, and I find the entire thing incredibly frustrating. And I think the thinking as it pertains to shows like the show that Im on [Heels], that premiered last night, I think its myopic.

So...you don't support the union.

He's on one of those points that pretty hard to articulate, and probably better left not attempted to speak on because in this world, many people will take it the wrong way. He's just speaking about the tactical approach, not that he's actually aligned against WGA/SAG

I think that logic can be applicable to other instances. Striking at say, Tesla. The party striking isn't wrong go as far as to say they are the victims/good guys but investing the time and effort into striking, might not be all that productive for themselves.
Owners and such, they're not obliged to keep jobs alive...although that would kill their business, which I'm not sure is ever really a positive play for them.

I'd like to believe this is all that good ol' Ollie meant. Either that, or a misdirection so he can bust in someone's office through an arrow zipline and threaten them over their desk and holding them at arrowpoint.

We are of course at threat of seeing cinema and television hit rock bottom in quality, possibly creating a devastatingly awful (lack of) artistic influence on future generations going forward, but that might actually be the way society is going. We already see it with independent content. YT shorts are starting to get plagued by AI narration.

He said a whole lot of words without actually saying anything. What is happening is that he's on a TV show currently that no one is watching because no one has heard of it, he can't promote it and there's a good chance this strike could probably affect it.

He supports the end goals of the union. Just not striking as a tactic. Disagree with him if you want but that doesn't mean he's some billionaire bootlicker. Y'all are so quick to jump down people's throats.

Its hard to argue that the actors and writers arent significantly more exposed to the repercussions of a strike.

Generally you dont apply pressure with something that will hurt you worse.

He can suck it. If you support the union, then you support the strike. Striking is the only leverage the workers have to fight against the big studios. Bootlicking scab was seen promoting his show while the strike is ongoing.

I mean I get that but then you see Matt Reeves and James Gunn support the strikes and considering they have bigger money projects, same for Colin Ferrell with Reeves, but maybe its apples and oranges considering they arent at risk losing their jobs compared to Amell but still a bad look for Amell and probably would have been better not saying anything at all

Meanwhile Grant Gustin support the strikes

That reads like he still doesn't really approve of the strike but is resigned to the idea that it's happening whether he likes it or not.

I think Amell is making a very poor choice by vocalizing his opposition to the strike, but he's definitely got way more to lose from it than guys like Reeves or Gunn. Those guys have their careers pretty much set in stone at this point, whereas Amell is a tv actor whose career peak was playing a second-tier superhero on a second-tier network. If his current show doesn't work out, then the guy that's only known for bad tv action shows is probably going to have a hard time finding work that isn't bit parts and straight-to-streaming movies.

That's how it reads to me, but it also sounds like he supports the strike because it's the last real option they have, but he just doesn't like that it's the only option.
