I feel like at this point they're demonstrably acting against the interests of their shareholders out of pettiness.

IBroughttheFunk posted:Why? Seriously, just why? What's the purpose? Maybe they're concerned that accepting it would affect future prices for streaming rights? Maybe they were hoping that if they held out someone would eventually offer $70 million? But since everyone already knows the movie isn't going to see the light of day otherwise it's kind of a unique situation anyway so I'm not sure it really makes sense. Also even if the amount of money they would save by writing it off is only equal to the profit from selling it off, I still think they should sell it so they don't gently caress over all the people who spent a ton of time working on it. Edit: Also, even if the movie didn't directly make money, it would probably lead to increased interest in future loony toons movies/shows and merchandise. It's weird because if it was Disney/Marvel that would probably be enough motivation to ensure as many people saw it as possible even if they were actually going to lose money that way. mystes fucked around with this message at 17:05 on Feb 9, 2024 |

Not to mention this kind of screwball antics is making directors and production teams reconsider doing any work for WB, because if they're doing this to one of their flagship IPs - what's to stop them from loving over other projects?

There's a little tinfoil hatted part of my brain that thinks that maybe they're more afraid that if it does well it makes them look even stupider than if they canned it, so they've decided to settle on just looking the usual amount of stupid.

I just hope that there's some type of producers style thing that can gently caress them over, like if the movie gets leaked in it's entirety it'll count as being released so instead of a tax break they have to pay ALL the taxes on it AS WELL as losing any residuals they'd have got from tickets and other sales. They need to get hurt from the bottom line.

Since they're being so publicly indignant about it, I would be seriously surprised if an employee doesn't copy the whole thing, store it for a few years, then leak it. After the treatment Pantheon S1 got, a few of us got spooked and I know personal copies of both seasons exist. We have to protect the loving YEARS we invest into these projects.

Somebody pass an art preservation law so if you want to write a movie off you may do so, but you must also make it available in the public domain.

Martman posted:Amazon seems to be burying it, afaik I don't have any legit ways to watch it at the moment Yeah, I just checked and neither season is available on Prime it seems (I had to resort to piracy to see it myself). Which sucks because it was a great show Infinity Train is also in a similar boat (though in that case I believe at least the first season got a DVD release) But yeah, as mentioned above I feel like if a company writes off a movie or show they should also immediately forfeit the rights back to the original creators or make it available in the public domain. Just chucking something into the garbage where nobody can (legally) view it anymore is stupid. Larryb fucked around with this message at 23:10 on Feb 9, 2024 |

Robindaybird posted:Didn't someone had to resort to piracy to get a copy of the show that he was the showrunner of? A lot of show creators had to do that. I recall IanJQ having to do that for OK KO and Owen Dennis basically told everyone to pirate Infinity Train since that was the only way to watch it as it was even being removed from people's Amazon lists despite buying it. The DVDs of Infinity Train went to insane prices too. Actually Owen Dennis was, understandably, VERY pissed about it and did an interview about how lovely it was. I don't think anyone but WBD's higher ups knew they were going to memory hole a bunch of shows so it caught everyone else off guard at the same time. In other show news (based on a movie) there's a 6 episode series based entirely around Knuckles coming to Paramount+. Idris Elba is voicing him again as well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1kETt59yn6A

Larryb posted:What happened to Pantheon? I only watched the series for the first time fairly recently So it started as a 2 season order, produced by AMC and developed at Titmouse. Story and design rolled off in Q1 21, S1 premiered Q3 21, S2 was fully completed in Q4 21. But by the time S1 dropped, the head at AMC had swapped and as is customary, she buried the poo poo out of the previous head's babies. There was zero advertisement, episodes were released out of order, and then weeks after S2 finished production AMC switched heads again and S1 disappeared completely from streaming with no warning. Like, folks were mid-watch and suddenly couldn't watch the next episode. When we had our little wrap party in... April 22, I think? You could only watch S1 and only through pirating. We were told AMC was at least shopping it. Then S1 suddenly showed up on Amazon and Apple about 6 months later. S2 showed up randomly last year only in Australia? I think? S2 has never been officially released Stateside. But also it's all been taken down now, so  . To be honest, I lost track of what the hell was going on last year. They don't tell us anything, we just stumble across it.But also on behalf of my crew, please pirate Pantheon! We were all really proud of it and just want it to be seen.

Scavengers Reign was awesome. I don't know much about animation generally, but I would really like to hear of any recommendations that folks have that are similar. I really liked the weirdness of it and the style of animation as well.

I just finished Hazbin Hotel and holy cow it took off like a rocket starting in episode 5. I wasn't really vibing with it at first but after watching the whole season I'm seriously impressed. I think many of the songs were absolutely top notch, like 10/10 wouldn't feel out of place in a broadway musical. The animation was a bit janky sometimes but I'd chalk that up to learning pains and I'm really excited to see what they do next. I got curious about who wrote the songs and they're credited to Sam Haft and Andrew Underberg. Apparently Sam Haft got his start doing remixes of My Little Pony songs and stuck with it and now 10 years later he's writing bangers. Kind of a neat bit of trivia. I also recently watched This World Can't Tear Me Down, an Italian show which is a sequel to Tear Along The Dotted Line. It's an extremely powerful and heartfelt attempt to tackle modern anti immigration and pro fascist sentiment, particularly as it appears in Italy, and it comes with a lot of nuance. Well worth checking out at only 6 episodes. Das Boo posted:But also on behalf of my crew, please pirate Pantheon! We were all really proud of it and just want it to be seen. You guys did great work, definitely one of the best shows I've seen in the last year along with Scavengers Reign, Hazbin Hotel, and Bluey.

Sam Haft also does the songs for Helluva Boss, which aren't quite on the same level, although the two he did for the Mammon episode are pretty top notch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UfwJL5hd3CQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s9HyDRpJrsw It should also be noted that a lot of (all?) of the score for Hazbin Hotel is done by Gooseworx, the person behind The Digital Circus edit: Also if you're interested, there's a thread for Hazbin Hotel/Helluva Boss: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=4036125

Some other cases don't help, yeah. Captain N also comes to mind.

I'm sure the Rock's overjoyed though. Actually the live-action remake has been canceled: The former pro wrestler turned blockbuster-maker was producing the previously announced live-action adaptation of Moana through his Seven Bucks banner. However, that project has been dropped from its June 27, 2025 release date and apparently is not even in production. Disney and Seven Bucks did not offer additional comment.

But yeah, you can't blame Nintendo after seeing Captain N, the Zelda cartoon, the CD-i games and the movie - kinda of like the urban legend of Miyazaki sending Disney a sword with the words "no cuts" emblazoned on it when Princess Mononoke was being dubbed given how badly Nausicaa was butchered into "Warriors of the Wind"

My favorite story of that movie is a quote from Dennis Hopper: "My six-year-old son at the time – he's now 18 – he said, 'Dad I think you're probably a pretty good actor, but why did you play that terrible guy King Koopa in Super Mario Bros.?' And I said, 'Well Henry, I did that so you could have shoes,' and he said, 'Dad, I don't need shoes that badly.'"

A few good callbacks to the games and to the movie. It’s unfortunate that it’s paramount+ going to be a while before I see it….or the pirate’s life for me.
