I'M SO SAD ABOUT NEW GODS.

I love Kirby's Fourth World and Ava co-wrote the script with Tom King whose work I really enjoy. UGH

DC/WB ARE TARGETTING ME!!!

[fauxkaren]

like, who do i need to talk to in order to get some quality Big Barda content? I'M MAD

[bttrsondaughter]

DC is such a mess. the fact that they say 'New Gods' was in part cancelled bc of darkseid's apperance in ZSJL is just going to add to fans persecution complex

[earthboundd]

WB remains the worst decision makers when it comes to DC. New Gods would've been amazing, but I guess it's more profitable to reboot Batman to the 100th time (and this is coming from a Batman fan).

You didn't lie, sis. I've been tired of what they've been doing to Batman and the DCU for a decade now.

All these Batman and Superman movies and not even those characters and their story have been done justice.

Both Superman and Batman have a great roster of supporting characters and we haven’t even touched the surface

And don’t get me started on bales Batman voice

Shit is pathetic

Omg. I was so excited about The Trench. That segment was scary af and I wanted to know more about those creatures!

[pseudonygma]

James Wan has extensive experience doing horror movies too. It sucks that two POC film-makers get shafted like this especially since there aren't many in Hollywood to begin with.

[richyrich909]

Seriously! And then you get shit show movies that suck and barely turn a profit by straight white men all the damn time. It’s annoying. I’m so bummed about this. 😞

This is some straight up bullshiz

Why does James Gunn get to come into The Suicide Squad and automatically gets his own show with Pacemaker? TSS hasnt proven to be another hit like SS was, Pacemaker hasnt proven to be the breakout character, John Cena hasnt done anything to prove he's a good actor....(I know its the make whiteness of it all but still)

I'm surprised they havent outright cancelled Amazons.

[xfindyourlove]

but do the other directors have a horribly beautiful mind like james gunn?

[aristobrit]

Gunn gets to do what he wants because he made money for the studio with Guardians of the Galaxy.

DuVernay doesn't get to do what she wants because she lost money on A Wrinkle in Time.

Studios are only concerned about possible profits. If they think someone can earn more money, they get to go forward. If they think they won't be able to make a profit, they get their project canceled. It's a business.

[a_files06]

Explain Wanns project getting canceled then.
