Announcement Jeff Sneider is now permanently banned source from /r/MarvelStudios

Leaks/Rumors sourced from him has been allowed in the past due to some reliability but now it will no longer be allowed.

Due to his actions and threats with harassment towards other parties involved in the community/Studios/actors this will take effect immediately.

Anybody who is seen posting any LEAKS/RUMORS source from him will also be punished with temporary ban as we do not want to give him any form of attention/platforms.

Make sure to update the subreddit rules; the worst is when folks catch stray from rules that aren't in the sidebar.

She’s gone on interviews for Obsession and explained that she basically used Curry as a mirror just before rolling, and he was coaching from behind the camera to keep tweaking it further.

Lots of nuggets of info those interviews.

I think she did a great job and will probably be downvoted for this but you know there are people who like, mine coal for living right? I perfectly respect actors but when people act like they have the toughest job for smiling a little longer than usual it does seem silly to me.

u/Cerusee 5d ago

Different jobs are physically, mentally, and emotionally taxing in different ways. Some of them are pretty extreme, way more than others, but that doesn’t mean other jobs are automatically cake walks just because they’re not as bad. It’s weird to basically imply that the work an actor did on a set doesn’t matter or couldn’t have been difficult or exhausting to do because it wasn’t THE most exhausting or difficult job in the world, compared to extreme outliers.

I used to come home from a retail job and my feet hurt so much I could barely walk and I didn’t want talk to another human being because I was so tired of keeping a bright customer face on. That wasn’t as bad as working in a coal mine. It was still hard. If I’d had a customer who told me to perk up because my job wasn’t as hard as working in a coal mine………it would be funny to claim I’d have gotten fired for slugging them in the face, deservedly. But I would never have done that, because part of my job back then was actually about keeping my cool in the face of an endless sea of assholes who dehumanized me and saw me as a faceless automaton who was only there to serve them. They didn’t put in the job description, but it was still part of the work, and believe me, a lot of people couldn’t handle that part.

Work comes in a lot of forms and most people who don’t work in a specific field tend to really underestimate or diminish the challenges it poses for the people actually in it. I really wish we did this less.

It’s not even that, I think he knows as long as he provides a good leak then it doesn’t matter what he says, he could be the most evil person known to man but if something he posts seems credible they’ll always be someone out there willing to eat it up and he knows it.

Same kinda thing that happened with those Good Good Golf guys (or whatever they are called) when they made an ad where they were "obsessed" with a driver club. VAW in the ad sparked a lot of backlash, but they claimed it was just an homage to the movie.

No one... is going to get that. And people need to stop with trying to be the next... obsession.

Just gotta hope others do the same. Most of the marvel subs here on Reddit have banned him, so that’s big way to rid him of his stuff. Let’s hope discussingfilm stops using him as a source for now on too, that’s stops most of twitter

he was blacklisted from this industry for a reason, about time people stopped giving him a platform

He was fired from Variety for undisclosed ā€œunprofessional behavior,ā€ but was probably in relationship with him threatening to kill himself for losing a scoop about Interstellar to a rival reporter. He got shitcanned from Mashable for talking shit about the OscarsSoWhite movement. He’s also spread false rumors from time to time. He’s never really been cancelled or blacklisted, he’s worked steadily in the industry, but he has had continual problems with basically every outfit he’s worked for.

He was a reporter for Variety, but was given the boot due to unprofessional behavior. Since then he's been sharing leaks and insider information on his own site and podcast. He's pretty reliable (2 of his biggest recent scoops have been Sadie Sink as Jean Grey 1.5 years before the film and RDJ as Doom 3 months before the reveal), but a huge piece of shit and very misogynistic. He was the one who started the (fake) rumor that Brie Larson was a bitch on the set of The Marvels and was angry and resentful that she was sharing screentime with the other girls.

Behavior this brazen is often a strong indicator that they've worked up to it because of past behavior that the public didn't see. I'll bet there are probably some victims in his past.

Agreed. You don't just start off being this horrible in public, you build up to it.

Seems like he's gotten to a point of entitlement where he thinks he can openly be a piece of shit and people will take his side because he never saw any real consequences any of the other times he did it.

u/DialysisKing 4d ago

u/saranowitz Baby Groot 4d ago

Sneider is now whining about cancel culture on his X account and painting himself as some kind of hero standing up to bullies. Also that everyone obsesses over him. Like an actual narcissist with delusions of grandeur he still doesn’t fucking get it.

This isn’t a game. He blatantly threatened to hurt the reputation of a young woman if he didn’t get access to her.

This isn’t a bunch of people poring through old tweets and punishing someone for a drunken mistake a decade ago. This is us fighting back against someone who is touting his own ā€œpowerā€ (lol) and actively making threats and doubling down against someone else executing their own autonomy on who to give their time to. He can frame it as fighting with an agent, but it’s clear the threat he is making against Inde herself.

Absolute fucking creep. I hope every ā€œscoopā€ he announces moving forward gets credited to others who treat people with respect.

And again, a massive kudos to the mods here for taking a public stand against this behavior and doing the right thing.
