If what she said was true then I'll say I do feel bad that she and the rest of the crew were laid off without any notification ahead of the cancellation announcement, that's really shitty of Netflix to do. Additionally I feel that the actors and a lot of the crew did the best they could with the terrible script and tiny budget they were given. I would rather have seen them do a season 2 but better, but I'm not surprised Netflix threw in the towel less than a month after the show came out.
All that being said, I'm not going to shed a tear for the writers (including this lady) who took a perfectly good script to adapt and managed to royally fuck it up. I watched the whole series and I could feel every time corners were cut and every line that was completely unnecessary (usually from Faye) thrown in just to punch up the dialogue. The Cowboy Bebop live action is not the worst anime adaptation I've seen (that goes to either Dragonball Evolution or the shamalamadingdong Last Airbender if it counts), nor is it even the worst Netflix anime adaptation I've seen (Death Note), but this was still garbage and I won't feel bad when you've lost your job because you made garbage.
I especially don't feel bad for this lady, considering she was also the cretin who was stirring shit back when information about Gren was revealed.
For all their bluster about adapting to modern sensibilities I cannot fathom how they thought this depiction of Gren was a good idea. Like okay make Gren nonbinary, sure that's to be expected even if I think it's a bad idea. But why in the fuck did they make Gren look like the personification of a slur?
Also it wasn't a forced gender transition in the original anime, it was just the side effects of drugs given to him during prison. Even if it was meant to be forced transition, it "is not a thing in reality" is a SHIT excuse - you could have actually discussed the psychological impact something like that could have on someone and why we shouldn't do it in real life. Hell, you could have even made some sort of correlation between the shit that happened to Gren and straight conversion camps in real life or some shit, I dunno.
For fuck's sake Gren doesn't even play the saxophone in the adaptation, some other unnamed fucker does in the Gren scenes. Why do you think anyone would like this character if you've stripped everything, both major and minor, about them away?
