This is a joke topic...but they could get it for free through Crunchyroll. It’s super popular! Literally nothing would stop them from airing it and introducing a new audience to the show ala gen:Lock, except this was successful before the airing. (Let’s face it, gen:Lock got pushed over the hill by Toonami, which shows the old girl still has value).

Calm down Elfie. Someone on another forum pointed out the reality subtext to the story. A naive, optimistic woman wants to do something outside the accepted system and is completely ridiculed for it, with even her benefactor saying there’s no way it will work. Now we have we a naive, optimistic creator wanting to make a show with all her naysayers ridiculing her for it, pointing out the legions of drama around her, with everyone saying there’s no way it will work. Everyone wants a piece of that streaming pie, but the fact is budgets are tight and unless you have someone to vouch for you, you probably won’t get to series. Hell, even Tim and Eric’s big “in” at Turner was “Hey, Bob Odenkirk vouches for these guys!” and that was BEFORE Breaking Bad.

You nailed it when you mentioned the money. It’s Korgoth. Member Korgoth? Member how everyone liked it but it never aired? It never aired because the budget would have been equivalent to 1/3 of the entire Adult Swim budget, and that was with Aaron Springer on board, (Spongebob’s head storyboarder and one of the key writers) and Genndy Tartovoskty as a timing director. This project began crowdfunding in 2014. It will probably need another year to gather funds, and then probably a year at most to come up with another final product (At least initially character designs are done so that’s less of an issue). So the only way to get a consistent product is have a network pick it up. And while S&P isn’t a big deal for on demand channels, Netflix is gonna take one look at this, at the budget, at the songs, and ask one simple question - “Uh yeah, why would we spend all this money on this show when we can get three seasons of an adult cartoon from a popular comedian with connections at Hollywood instead? You’re not Bill Burr, you’re not John Mulaney, you’re some weirdo Tumblr spawn that gets into arguments with furries on Twitter. And we have better things to spend our money on. Unless you can slash the budget by 40% and are willing to cede creative control to our executives, we’re going to pass.”

Think of how many confused people saw this while heading to the Masvidal/Diaz fight.

Fresh from Patreon and looking for someone to option the series is a show about a princess in hell trying to rehabilitate demons and being mocked as a complete idiot. Oh, and there’s singing because that’s popular (no it isn’t). The animation is beautiful but there’s about 10 reasons I can think of no one will ever option this to series. Give it a watch and tell me if you agree or disagree.

They keep getting new JoJo seasons to keep them off Netflix. Of course they’re gonna renew DB.

Prime Video at this point is just a bonus for people who want free shipping on Amazon stuff. And I admittedly expect Apple TV to throw their lot in with another company for a 1-2, because they can’t succeed on their own.

Same.

You know they tossed the idea around.

Half feel like he has a point, the other half are going “OK Boomer.” I think he has a point, but it was phrased rather awkwardly.

If anyone was gonna no-sell it, it was gonna be the Hulkster brother.

Yeah, during a night promoting the new Rick and Morty season. It’s like everyone is trying to piss off Jim Cornette at once (and Omega is apparently friends with Undertale’s creator). Edit -

MHA is appearing in more stuff lately.

1999, so you’re on the nose. Big cast for a Netflix movie admittedly. Lot of recognizable talent.

I feel like this mentality is a remnant of the bad old days on ASA, before there was anime on every single streaming channel, a ton of it for free or nestled nicely next to Stranger Things or The Handmaid’s Tale. There were only X number of slots, and odds are good DeMarco in his infinite wisdom was probably not going to pick the show you and your friends liked, for whatever reason, and there were plenty (rates, age, DeMarco’s confessed dislike of fanservice elements). So everyone naturally felt left out and lashed out the best way they knew how to on a forum. Call the show dumb and compare its fans to barely sapient pond scum that are contributing to the dumbing of society. The thing is, we don’t really need to do that anymore. So what Fire Force isn’t your bag? (I like it but I’ve admittedly fallen behind). There’s only what...two dozen shows being simulcast this season? You’re no longer at the whim of Toonami/Adult Swim as the supreme arbiters of what does and doesn’t get shown to the masses. It helps if like gen:Lock you’re behind paywalls most people are uninterested in, but for the most part, they don’t control what people can and cannot watch, save some annoying dub exclusives with Viz and Aniplex. But it’s so ingrained in how we operate that our approach hasn’t really changed, despite the plenty of content we have.

https://www.cbr.com/south-park-streaming-rights-hbo-max/ HBO Max is apparently also going down to South Park, which is the closest we’ll ever get to having South Park on Adult Swim.

You make one snarky comment and everyone wants a Bloodsport.

If it’s anything like HBO Go, you’re probably looking at next day delivery. Morty will air 9-10pm Sunday, it will be up 1am EST Monday.

Let’s not and say we did.

https://www.indiewire.com/2019/10/hbo-max-free-att-1202184958/ HBO MAX, as some of you know, is going to be WarnerMedia’s big super service, combining HBO, Rooster Teeth, Adult Swim/Toonami, and Crunchyroll into the Megazord of streaming. (The individual services will still be available separately). Giving people who subscribe to HBO but would be uninterested in Toonami or Crunchyroll HBO MAX would dramatically increase the reach of their offerings.

Anyone catch this on Netflix? Not only is the first major appearance of Eddie Murphy in anything since forever, it gives a similar vibe to Ed Wood or The Disaster Artist, people with big dreams and small talent making something big despite common sense arguing otherwise.

I maintain this was about the ceiling of the franchise given that they gave it a whole week instead of a one night showing. Broly got that and made a ton of money, so why this was their follow up I do not get. It would have made more sense as a one night Fathom release.
