Major Marvel writer brutally claps back at Elon Musk over Netflix feud

The battle lines have been drawn, and as Elon Musk calls out another Netflix show for apparently pushing an LGBTQ+ 'agenda' on its subscribers.

There have been recent complaints that the streaming giant has gone 'woke', with things initially kicking off in the aftermath of Charlie Kirk's death.

When the controversial commentator was shot dead at Utah Valley University, the creator of Netflix's Dead End: Paranormal Park referred to Kirk as a 'd**khead' and a 'random nazi'.

This popped up on the radar of the Libs of TikTok account, with Musk then amplifying the idea that Dead End: Paranormal Park was indoctrinating children with a transgender character.

The world's richest man called for people to cancel their Netflix subscriptions, and while we've seen similar boycotts do little to affect a major company, Elon Musk's repeated attacks on the streaming service have seen stocks slump.

Like a dog with a bone, Musk has continued to call out Netflix's diversity, even taking aim at Barack and Michelle Obama. Things won't be helped by the late Jane Goodall's final words for a new Netflix series, including her wishes that Musk, Donald Trump, and Vladimir Putin would be ‘blasted’ into space.

Away from the Obamas and Paranormal Park's Hamish Steele, Musk has now taken issue with Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous. In particular, one scene where two female characters admitted they were in love and then kissed.

The show isn't exactly current, and in 2022, Hungary’s media regulator launched an investigation into the same-sex kiss. Slamming Camp Cretaceous, Musk added: "There is no need to have a kissing scene, especially a lesbian kissing scene, in a children’s show. This is pushing an agenda. There are other options. There are other streaming networks."

Creator Zack Stentz has clapped back by reposting a tweet from Lila Rose, the president and founder of the anti-abortion organisation Live Action. Similar to Musk, Rose called for a Netflix boycott while claiming the same-sex relationship was "blatant sexual indoctrination of innocent children."

Stentz created Camp Cretaceous, as well as co-writing the screenplay for X-Men: First Class and the Marvel Cinematic Universe's original Thor movie. Defending Camp Cretaceous, Stentz said: “I created this show before handing it to an incredibly talented group of writers and animators. No one was trying to push anything on viewers. We were just trying to dramatise the full range of human experience, which includes same-sex relationships. That’s all."

Underneath, he added: "Conservative Christians, I say sincerely that the only thing I am trying to push on your kids is, 'You are stronger and smarter and braver than you realise. Believe in yourself, take care of your friends and help others (and animals) where you can'."

Across its five-season run, Camp Cretaceous received rave reviews and has a 92% critic score on Rotten Tomatoes. It was so popular that Jurassic World: Chaos Theory debuted as a sequel series in May 2024.

Despite this, it seems some are only just finding a reason to turn against the popular dinosaur adventure.
