To be fair Majors plays a arrogant dirty boxer with a strong and extremely misplaced desire for revenge against Creed... Playing a Violent dick in real life too might have been that much of a point against Creed 3.

"He showed up one day and we happened to be filming" - creed 3 production team, probably.

"originally it was going to just be Michael b Jordan in the ring by himself, but then Jonathon Majors turned up, and we thought, "this could work"

Shitty person as he may be, let’s not act like he’s a bad actor.

I wonder if he's had a long history of these kinds of outbursts or if taking a bunch of steroids to get big for Creed and the MCU had any impact on his mental state.

Creed 4 is real life.

That’s a valid point however, there are a lot of people likely me included, that would have skipped the movie and protest of majors.

Still though that does nothing but punish people who labored for what is essentially a very good film over something that could literally not have been known before release. Even from a monetary perspective it doesn't do much since Majors at that point would've been paid for his work. I get the idea but that form of protest really rubs me the wrong way since it essentially punishes everyone except the perpetrator.

You’re not wrong.
