A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.
Our Philosophies:
- All workers must be paid a living wage for their labor.
- Income inequality is the main cause of lower living standards.
- Workers must join together and fight back for what is rightfully theirs.
- We must not be divided and conquered. Workers gain the most when they focus on unifying issues.
Our Goals
- Higher wages for underpaid workers.
- Better worker representation, including but not limited to unions.
- Better and fewer working hours.
- Stimulating a massive wave of worker organizing in the United States and beyond.
- Organizing and supporting political causes and campaigns that put workers first.

It is an old Disney trick but I think this is different. Kevin Feige had very little say about the old marvel shows, he butted heads a lot with the guy who was in charge of the TV shows, Ike Perlmutter. Ike was a piece of shit and is no longer in charge, so you can't really blame Kevin Feige for wanting to wipe the slate clean. I've been thankful he decided to keep the two biggest names from the original show but in no way was the new show going to be a continuation, unlike the other examples listed in the comments
He can reset it creatively if he wants but to every actor and crew member involved it's still just a new season of the same show.
I know it's super late but I just saw this and it bothers me a little bit. I think literally anyone that was involved in the old show should be considered lucky for being able to work on the new one. It's a different show based on the same characters that the old show was based on, with your logic, everyone involved in the Gotham show are also entitled to be involved with Pennyworth and the Penguin show with Colin Ferrell. When they made the Flash TV show with Grant Gustin, it was fun and special that the guy who played flash in the 90's TV show played his dad. But in no way should anyone from the 90s show be entitled to anything creative or otherwise from the new one.
This isn't decades later it's a few years. And they brought back both the lead character and lead villain. The crew I understand it's a few years most have probably found other sets to work on but foggy and Karen are also stars of that show and no one is going to think that the original series isn't canon. They made daredevil the character he is today just as much as the guy who plays Matt, who's name escapes me at this very moment.
I'm not saying everyone involved in the Ben Affleck daredevil needs to be hired again.
Yeah they are still officially canon. I understand if they play less of a role as it becomes more of an extended universe and they have to focus on daredevil and other main characters, but to completely snub them is fucked up. Doubly so if they recast them.
Well it was my understanding that nothing from the show will be canon and they will be recasting Foggy. If I'm mistaken and those characters from the show are canon, then I agree with you.
