I like how execs at Warner resent WarnerMedia for not doing more to shelter them from Snyder Cut fans. Motherfucker, you're the executives. You run the company!

I’m glad the bots happened because I thought the Snyder Cut was good. Maybe helps that the Joss Whedon version sucked complete rear end, but still, I enjoyed the rerelease.

that article definitely read like a hit piece on Snyder, and then once it dragged in ray fisher and both absolved wb of his accusations and downplayed whedon being outed as a huge piece of poo poo, i knew it was. i don't know how much of snyder being a jerk in that is true, but i really can't trust any of it cuz as far as i know this could've basically been written by some exec with a vendetta

Unless some new bomb is about to drop about Miller I don’t see the connection. No one’s talks about Miller in a few weeks so there’s no conversation to distract from. If the article made a point to tie Miller to Snyder or something than maybe it would be some kind of attempt to blame him for the mess they’re in now. But it doesn’t seem to do that?

The article is clearly written by someone who hates Snyder and Snyderbros, but come on, enough with the weird conspiracy talk. Maybe whoever leaked this had an axe to grind, but as a corporation Warner isn't releasing this to get at Snyder somehow for no reason, if anything Warner sat on this report for over a year to protect the Snyder cut's image and enhance their profits. It's obvious why you don't want people to start thinking ZSJL is something only bots wanted when you're trying to sell HBO MAX subs.

I just can't believe people (on either side) are still getting riled up about the Snyder cut even now. Like whoa what a smoking gun, people who wanted a thing to happen were willing to create some Twitter bots to try to influence it further. We're not talking about election fraud here, move on.

The more Snyder moves away from DC the more the fan movement will dissipate naturally anyway. The cult* of personality around him is due in part to his attachment to Superman/Batman. Nolan had a similar thing, albeit pre twitter so not quite as extreme, but that has faded away as Nolan has moved on from Batman. The same I reckon will be true of Snyder. *Using as a turn of phrase, not saying it's a literal cult before anyone gets upset.

Seriously. The movie came out for however many people wanted it. The people who wanted it the most loved it. Snyder's got a bunch of projects. Whedon's career is tanked and he's been exposed as an abuser. What's left to say here? How much so many people on both sides feel this is some kind of war or something is just like... really?

Classifying Bucky "Winter Soldier" Barnes as a cameo in the movie "Captain American: the Winter Soldier" seems disingenuous. I'm surprised the special character agreements exist at all, I thought creators who made characters for companies didn't have a leg to stand on. Glad to hear it's a little better than that at least

Marvel used to not pay a thing. DC has always had a royalty system, although they are also notorious for finding ways to classify characters in ways that save them money. Creators used to call it out a lot, so Marvel kind of got publicly shamed into finally doing it. Jim Starlin famously made more money for KGBeast appearing in BvS than Thanos in the MCU, while Len Wein made more from Lucius Fox than Wolverine.

I can see it being a big mess, especially with all the cameo and ensemble films they do, but there definitely needs to be a better solution than the Mouse getting 90% of the money and tossing a few hundred bucks at the creators.

They basically already announced this when the merger went through and Warner was so heavily in debt that the new CEO said they are cancelling all new HBOMax content and focusing exclusively on Superman, Batman, and "in-house brand name" movies and video games until the company is out of debt.

FlamingLiberal posted:I hadn’t heard that Here's a few stories from back in April. The new CEO promised to find $3 billion in cost savings following the merger and cut most new scripted content. The New Warner/Discovery company is so heavily leveraged that they are cancelling basically everything and praying that a new vertically integrated DCCU with merch and video game tie-ins puts the company back on their feet. They cancelled most new HBOMax series to direct resources to the new DC HBOMax tie-ins and they cancelled ALL scripted TV programs at TBS and TNT. They also killed CNN+ after it was on-air for less than a week (to be fair, I have no idea what the business plan was for CNN+ or who would pay for a streaming service with mostly pre-recorded news segments). https://twitter.com/Variety/status/1519044895817707520 quote:TNT and TBS are pausing their scripted game under new parent company Warner Bros. Discovery, which CEO David Zaslav has promised will find $3 billion in cost savings across the new company in the post-merger era, Variety has learned exclusively. quote:The WarnerMedia-run cable channels is no longer developing new scripted content, three sources close to the matter tell Variety. According to one insider, Warner Bros. Discovery leadership is currently evaluating the strategy for all of the so-called “TNets” — including truTV, which are run by Brett Weitz — and will have a better idea of the role each will play within the new regime moving forward. quote:During Discovery’s Q1 investor call on Tuesday, CFO Gunnar Wiedenfels said WarnerMedia assets profit projection for 2022 is $500 million lower than Discovery expected, and Discovery’s better-than-expected results help offset that for WBD. The new CEO also said they going all in on IPs that they already owned and creating a vertically integrated company to produce video games and other tie-ins for those IP simultaneously. quote:Zaslav has pledged to find $3 billion in synergies in the newly merged company, a signal of how important cost cutting will be to Warners’ new owners. Mining DC’s library of characters could help control spending as Warner Bros. Discovery owns the underlying intellectual property, insiders say. quote:David Zaslav, the new CEO of Warner Bros. Discovery, believes Superman is being wasted by not being a larger part of DC's future film slate. quote:Zaslav has been toying with the idea of overhauling DC Entertainment following the $43 billion merger between Discovery and WarnerMedia. according to reports from Variety. He believes that "several top-shelf characters such as Superman have been left to languish and need to be revitalized." quote:Superman has not received a new solo film since 2013's Man of Steel, in which he was played by Henry Cavill. There have been talks of a sequel since the first film's release, but nothing has materialized or made it past initial discussions. quote:Cavill has not appeared as Superman since the theatrical and Snyder cuts of Justice League. Stand-in actors were used for Superman's brief cameos in 2019's Shazam! and the season 1 finale of Peacemaker. https://www.cbr.com/warner-bros-discovery-ceo-believes-superman-wasted-dc/ quote:The new owners of all things Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman are exploring an overhaul of DC Entertainment, multiple sources close to the situation told Variety. quote:It’s been less than a week since Discovery closed its $43 billion deal for WarnerMedia, joining one of the largest producers of reality programming with one of the most venerable entertainment brands under the new moniker of Warner Bros. Discovery. David Zaslav, the CEO of the combined companies, and top leadership have been toying with the idea of turning DC into its own solidified content vertical, the sources said. quote:Before the merger closed, Zaslav vetted candidates with experience in creating and nurturing blockbuster intellectual property with a goal of potentially finding someone to serve as a creative and strategic czar similar to what Marvel has in Kevin Feige. One of those candidates included Emma Watts, a former top film executive at 20th Century Studios and Paramount, but it does not appear that Watts will take the job. One insider suggested that Zaslav was less interested in finding a creative guru and more eager to hire someone who had the type of business background needed to keep all the different factions at DC working more harmoniously. https://variety.com/2022/film/news/dc-warner-bros-discovery-zaslav-hbo-max-1235232185/ Leon Trotsky 2012 fucked around with this message at 18:54 on Jul 20, 2022 |
