Nobody... all that footage was :wow: The Last of Us got a huge budget.. sheesh
They removed some shyt Lena Dunham show, some kids shows no one in here was watching, and a few random flicks that are take it or leave it. Everything that was watchable is not only still there but was renewed and is on its way in the next calendar year :dead:

Yeah they even announced new seasons of Doom Patrol and Titans Lol. There were "rumors" that they were done too. i don't really watch either at the moment but just an observation of how much was wrong from the reports

far from it



#SonyGang we out here. Discovery and HBO heavily invested in the last of us series if they let it anchor the commercial for their original series :wow:


I hope it is something special bc he need more video game adaptations that are actually high level

Video shows that Zaslav is sticking to his words: pumping money into Scripted originals and letting them operate freely

50 pages of doom and gloom and the next year or 2 of content is top tier still. Who’s fukking with that lineup of shows? And that’s just shows

People were being skeptical of that discounted promo rate they just launched. This ad quelled those fears since at least 55% were billed as Max Originals. Only thing i didn't see there was another season for Love Life but unfortunately it doesn't seem like a real popular show

They just secured their subscriber count and maybe added a few more.

That’s an easy way to write down debt :manny: people who haven’t watched Sesame Street in 30 years are mad the 1981 season isn’t available? People who had years to watch Seth Rogans American pickle upset because that and like 5 other movies aren’t an option now when they never would have watched the shyt anyways? :dead:

Look some of the non popular they spent loads in star pay and no one watched is an easy decision to wipe off.

But a lot of their animated titles are really popular online with dedicated fanbases. Hell some of the staff is saying they had a fully produced season in the can waiting for a release date. That is coming from them saying they have no desire to focus on kids and family entertainment content. Animation is really expensive

Same with the reality show division. They claim Max was spending up to 2milly an episode when they produce all of their discovery shyt for 500k per. That's why they chopped that shyt down

"Family" entertainment is now strictly watching some holiday themed baking competition or people shopping for houses.

Sesame street needs to be preserved, HBO should have never purchased it. That would have been a no Brainer purchase for Disney tbh

This the first streamer to totally erase content too. Terms of the write down is that it can't be available on any iteration except if it's been paid for (like buying episodes on amazon)

I'm not giving McKinsey consultants a lick of credit. fukk them and anybody who love em lol
