In light of these events, striking writers have taken to playfully mocking Ortega on the picket line. According to The Hollywood Reporter, some writers have even gone so far as to change lines in their scripts that reference Wednesday’s character in order to poke fun at the situation. For example, one writer changed a line from “Wednesday is so brave” to “Wednesday is so entitled”.
