DragonSinger Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 This really isn't good. Pray for whatever's in the pipeline under this company because except for Batman/Joker or Harry Potter, it ain't safe. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently Blue Beetle, despite being completed, and starting the Latino kid from Cobra Kai fresh off of well…Cobra Kai, is next to be canned. Warner is apparently going to axe it after viewing a first print. At this point just give Keaton a shit ton of money and have him play old Bruce in Batman Beyond. It’s what they should have done with him in the first place. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viperxmns Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 this kind of thing is insane to me, like is the cost of releasing it greater than the movie itself, like put it on youtube or something idk I am a layman when it comes to this stuff but the idea of just shelving a finished movie forever is wild 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matrixman124 Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 (edited) This is actually a BS narrative. It's solely for a tax break. And they are trying to say it's bad so this doesn't look as bad as it does. Edited August 3, 2022 by matrixman124 Embedded link 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blatch Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 If that's not enough, Warners has also removed several HBO Max original movies from the service, and more series/shows are on the chopping block, presumably also for tax cuts. This is appalling and a bit bewildering. Canning Batgirl was bad enough (and how often does a movie get cancelled deep into production nowadays?), but getting rid of original streaming content just reeks of capitalist excess. I figured we would see this happen eventually, but I wasn't expecting it to happen to content that had premiered just a couple years earlier. It's enough to make me wonder what might happen to the [adult swim]/Crunchyroll originals. Maybe they're gonna write off Fena and it won't be allowed to air on Toonami again? I suppose it wouldn't be a huge loss, and we've seen this happen before (ThunderCats (2011)/Sym-Bionic Titan/Beware the Batman), but I still wouldn't approve of it. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PokeNirvash Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 (edited) Considering how even the optimists are acting like Zaslav is going to run mad with power over all this, I think I'm just gonna steer clear of Twitter tomorrow. Quote Maybe they're gonna write off Fena and it won't be allowed to air on Toonami again? We've been through this before. Cartoon Network tried that crap with IGPX back in 2006, but instead of going to the government, the ownership of the show went back to Production I.G because international co-pros are different, and [as] bought it back in 2013 for re-air, no issue. On the extreme offchance that Fena does get written off, Demarco could just wait a few years 'til the heat dies down and buy it back. If he's willing, of course.

You just reminded me of that. That's going to make me cry. I'm sorry, but you found a guy that nailed a role Bruce Lee made FOR HIMSELF, and not only can you not get him a decent Hollywood film, you're going to cancel the thing that made me care about him in the first place.

I want to believe that, but at the same time I've been around long enough to remember "A WWE competitor on Turner networks gets killed after the new owners take over" happening once, so.

Hey, I wasn't trying to be alarmist. It sucks, but the only stake I have in all this is [as], and by extension Toonami. Our end of the pool has been surprisingly fee of dooming, which I attribute to anime being cheap and available in... decent quantity. And I can't see them canceling Primal, as it's rated well and has credibility via awards behind it.

Regardless, I expect it to turn up a lost media search 7 or so years from now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Destroying the footage would mean destroying the evidence of labor they want that precious tax write off for. Unwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
