BLUE BALLS, BAT NIPS, and WONDER TITS -SPOILERS

[Anderson]

After having some time to process the 4:30 presentation, I'm so fucking glad I didn't put money into WBD.

It's going to have a decent first month next year and then eat shit hard. You don't lose money betting on dumb people to watch dumb things.

You lose money by limiting access, limiting content and then expecting people to stream things they choose to get on another venue.

It's complete arrogance and ignorance towards your core audiences in the hopes of converting an outside audience that doesn't give a fuck about your existence in the first place.

Also, DC's 10 year plan? DC (in general) and planning go together like a plugged in radio and a bathtub.

Can easily imagine them pulling the plug on that Penguin show, and that's a good thing.

Takes away from the anticipation/specialness of The Batman sequel when we get it by July 2025 especially if Ferrell returns for that. Doubt Reeves will cry over such spilt milk since he's already been paid for his time, they won't fuck with his trilogy and nobody particularly asked for a Penguin limited series in the first place.

Superman is obivously going to be rebooted from the ground-up a la The Batman.

Everyone has their own hot takes on the situation and Twitter has been full of them.

But, all of this makes no sense from a business perspective. You're taking streaming outlets that outright failed (CNN) coupling them with ones that are barely breaking even (Magnolia, Discovery) and then liquidating chunks of the business that made money (HBO, Max Originals, WB) and hoping that it returns funds back to the parent company?

That's fucking crazy.

[Matt]

I know, it's bonkers. It's like you get gangrene in the leg so you amputate the leg, keep it, and throw out the body.

[Martin]

I’m sad cause I loved the Cavill Superman, but beside that, fuck WB so hard.

[Abraham Smashington]

If they remove FBOY Island Lesley will go postal. Here's hoping we keep Peacekeeper, Harley Quinn, Our Flag Means Death and anything else I'm currently forgetting. I still want an "organic" SAVE BATGIRL shit to go live. I really was excited to see Brendan Fraser play a badguy dammit.

[Anderson]

If Cavill is ever Superman again, I'll eat my own ass.

Honestly, don't be shocked if Cavill ends up over at Marvel.

[Martin]

Playing what? I’m curious what he would end up as.

[Abraham Smashington]

I mean....

[Matt]

Cavill would make a great Colossus too, although that's not a 'lead' character.

Honestly, I could also see them making Cavill into Wolverine, height be damned.

[Abraham Smashington]

I was on board with the fan casting of Taron Edgerton or however you spell his name, as Wolvie. He fucking OWNED in Black Bird and has the physique to back it up. And leave Colossus a fully CG character like he is in Deadpool. He's perfect. Shit if they want Cavill as a mutant make him Sabertooth.

Fairly sure we talked about it here.

Cavill has been done with Superman ever since he refused to do that Shazam cameo.

He agreed to appear. Then the day came, he didn't show up and forced them to use Zachary Levi's stand-in. All because he thought he should have gotten paid movie star money. Over a 1 minute cameo.

Compare that to how Gadot, Affleck, Momoa, even that psychopath Miller agreed to little bit appearances here and there. They were being team players.

Cavill wants to get paid Tobey Maguire money when his movies did Andrew Garfield business.

[Abraham Smashington]

Man, I love Cavill and Garfield. They both got the short end of the stick.

[Martin]

Yep. Same.

I though the Spider reboots were retarded. They were, but No way home fixed that and showed me he was the best Parker.

[Abraham Smashington]

I've been saying since day one that Garfield was the best Parker. Dude outacts both of the other ones and its just a shame he had lame scripts. Id love of he'd pop in again at some point.
