Jman Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 It's kind of funny to see that Dexter is being dumped just as Cartoon Network/Adult Swim was going all in on promoting Genndy as one of their great auteurs. Meanwhile, Zaslav found something he wants to spend money on. This seems to fit a continuing pattern of Zaslav de-emphasizing animation in favor of sports and reality program (even if the sports are fake).

OwlChemist81 Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 Come on, Zaslav, put on an AEW program before Toonami! You know you wanna... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toonamiguy321 Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 I assumed those shows are being removed because they are migrating over to Max when it launches. It’s just they are communicating poorly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasqueradeOverture Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 (edited) ^ I thought HBO Max would just transform its existing app to Max? Otherwise, expect a bunch of confused subscribers to bail.

Seight Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 I swear I did not wish for that second thing on a magic monkey's paw. Spoiler And everyone's thinking "the program removals, right?" but I actually mean "part of this plan involves one show with The Elite and friends and the other with CM Punk and friends, and rarely if ever the twain shall meet."

[classic swim] Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 HBO Max in fairness was already janky as fuck and had their own cartoons regularly leave and come back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I still won't watch it. Sick of the shitty booking and shitty video game matches with no ring psychology. Plus Tony Conman and his fan base are toxic. I dropped all AEW content, including wrestling dirt sheet and podcast coverage a few months ago. Removed another stresser that way. Not a joke.
