Pretextator

An unknown or unproven writer who takes control of a beloved, established intellectual property (IP) merely as a "pretext" or mask to tell their own completely unrelated story. Driven by arrogance, a pretextator believes their personal vision is superior to the original masterpiece, using the franchise's famous name solely to guarantee a budget and an audience they could never get on their own.
Fan A: "The characters in this new sci-fi sequel don't act anything like they did in the original movies. It feels like a completely different show."Fan B: "That's because the studio hired a pretextator. They just slapped the franchise name on their own random script to force people to watch it."

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.
