“It’s an old Disney scam where they slightly rename a series to reset contract terms back to first season,” DeKnight wrote on X/Twitter. “Needs to be addressed by all the guilds/unions and crushed!”

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.
