Snoozeworthy poster tbh

This is more than just cancelations. If this was a scenario where HBO Max just simply canceled these Cartoon Network shows with no new seasons, it's understandable. If a movie/show was scrapped early in development or even pre-production, I get it. It sucks for people who love those shows or want to see these new movies/series that aren't happening, but that's the nature of the business and a common tactic people in the industry deal with. The problem is they are hiding and deleting completed projects away from the world, which is blatantly anti-art and a ghoulish slap in the face to the creatives that's way worse than simply being canceled. And it seems like the tax write-offs are barely a drop in the water for WBD's debt. Batgirl was directed by the Bad Boys 3 guys. Is it worth giving the cold shoulder to one of the biggest rising director teams? As for the shows and original movies being randomly removed, while they're thankfully available to buy/rent on digital stores (though who knows how long that will last), it's being done with little warning, when the plan was to at least let the creators know, and the money-saving ventures seem miniscule too. The costs to keep them on their servers is probably not much, and lack of residuals being paid is also going against the animators and their healthcare. That's evil stuff right there. And what's more, is that the residuals aren't really that much anyways when it comes to streaming, and the people affected aren't even getting paid that much. The Infinity Train creator blatantly stated he only got about $400 from residuals from voicing one of the characters over one quarter. Meanwhile, HBO Max is still proudly showcasing Friends and ER on the service. And I'm pretty confident Jennifer Aniston's and George Clooney's residuals cost a lot more. So that strategy makes no sense. And even if they do end up getting licensed on Netflix or Amazon, it's not like it can still play on HBO Max. Disney licenses and shares their movies and shows with the competition all the time. Desperate Housewives and Lost are on Hulu and Freevee. The Bernie Mac Show's on Hulu, Amazon Prime, Tubi, and Peacock. Paramount has NCIS and Spongebob on Paramount+ and Amazon/Netflix. And even if those are "legacy content", this is still true of originals. The Orville and Love, Victor are on both Hulu and Disney+, HBO Max originals like The Flight Attendant and Titans have already played on cable, Kamp Koral has aired episodes on Nickelodeon, Zombies 3 just aired on Disney Channel a couple weeks ago. They're all owned by the same company, but there's precedent for streaming originals to move elsewhere. I think it's possible for Infinity Train or An American Pickle to stream on HBO Max and Netflix. Zas can still get that licensing money and they get more exposure which can boost them on both platforms.

Dolbys are also largely being given to 3000 Years too, so that makes things even worse.

If you bother to read the article, the show is still getting worked on and is being shopped to other networks/services. There's enough lame stuff about the Zas that we don't need to make stuff up about him.

Guess who's back...back again.

LMAO WHAT AM I LOOKING AT

LETS DO THISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Moderation @BestPicturePlutoNash your tirades and fighting against users because they like a show you don't isn't funny any more. Stop this right now, or you're seeing a threadban.

Dawg there's no trailer.

TBF, I've seen a lot of Fandom Menace/Quartering-style chuds hating on the show and talking about how "woke" it is and that it's the worst thing Marvel's ever created. But I also follow a lot of people who love dunking on those dudes and they do a hit job on anything that has somebody with XX chromosomes as the star, so...yeah.

Okay I know what you're saying and you're right, but the idea of "fanboys" rushing out to catch the latest PAW Patrol like they do for Star Wars or whatever just makes me laugh.

Anime's one of those things where I tell myself to get into it...but I just can't bring myself to. There's always like ten flashy new ones airing all at the same time and I have zero idea which ones I should watch or care about. And like the biggest ones have gone on for wayyyyyy too long that it feels like a chore and a half to watch them. Why on Earth are there over 1,000 episodes of One Piece? It's not even like there's an original One Piece and a reboot series or something. No, it's all one show. Whose idea was this?

I'm lonely and want to belong

I...really wish I knew what you guys were talking about. 🤷‍♂️
