If Swamp Thing looked more like a fan films shot in Vancouver maybe it'd have a brighter future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reactions have been amazingly good that I've seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh well. I don't know why the CW is allowed to have 19 shitty DC TV shows on but the two good ones can't even get another season. HBO's Watchmen is like the only decent thing they'll have in that entire field at this rate (though, given Lindelof's last show, it's probably gonna be better than most superhero movies too) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't Swamp Thing's budget end up going out of control anyway? I know they had to end the show prematurely by cutting episodes and reshooting the ending.

If it’s true, it kind of makes sense from a money and quality perspective. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know how execs could be happy with the direction of Titans, Batwoman or any of the other CW DC shows (Flash/Arrow/Supergirl) but then be unhappy with Swamp Thing - which at the very least has good acting unlike those other shows. What’s so bad about Titans? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cax16 Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 (edited) Titans is good, doom patrol is very good, too bad about swamp thing but at least we’ll get the full 10 episodes( and they’re currently filming stargirl as well). WB/ATT are probably trying to figure out how to use the DC shows in the new streaming service, dc universe will be folded in that for sure.

I keep forgetting that Warner Media is trying to start another streaming service. I don’t even understand the point of that. Isn’t HBO Go already a streaming service? Furthermore, why even make a streaming service that’s specifically dedicated to DC content if they’re just going to make a streaming service for all their properties?

They will all be rolled into one. I think they made the dc app thing before they were purchased but I’m not 100% sure.

Even Disney+ is only going to be charging $7.00 a month, and they have much more popular content than Warner Media does. This is stupid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably because hbo is like $15 on its own and Cinemax is like $12 or something, plus when you add in all their other content it’s probably a good deal for people who already purchase those things? I pay over $20 a month just for my hbo package here in Canada. Plus they’re supposed to be making original content for the new streaming service as well.
