WB has been having a terrible year so I only expect that to continue.

The thing there is those adults have nostalgia for the movies and that particular cast. They buy up merchandise with those versions of the character and from what I've seen so far, don't care about any potential new stuff unless it's with that same cast. Star Wars had this problem with the sequels.

At the same time, we've already seen this plot before so is there really?

In Lanterns, the main guy didn't even get to the surfing part.

There's really no cultural impact from that game. People moved on pretty quickly.

My bet is people will dip part way through season one, similar to what happened with Rings of Power.

All their movies have been terrible bombs this year. They have nothing.

Notable in that it takes them at least a year to film and then another 7+ months to finish everything else. The gap between seasons isn't going to save it because everyone already knows this story.

Erren @erren.bsky.social · 06/10/2026
It's a miracle those movies ended up as they did and this was before the current industry and economic environment. Trying to do that again with 3x as much footage and the limits of child actors is an impossible task.

Erren @erren.bsky.social · 06/10/2026
Yeah, I've heard from people in the industry that they've been having problems with it. Even from a base logistics standpoint, it's not going to survive.

A very small minority of purists who still clutch their pearls over the lack of Peeves in the movies, I guess. But they're not enough to sustain an expensive TV project.

Erren @erren.bsky.social · 06/10/2026
Will the kids care though is the real question. Doesn't seem like that's a big enough factor when they need a huge swath of audience to sustain something like this. Even the kid-centric Percy Jackson show fell off pretty hard despite starting off strong.

Erren @erren.bsky.social · 06/10/2026
Even if it's average, people aren't patient enough to wait two years between seasons for something readily available. There's no hook to keep them going because the story is already known. Not to mention, nearly every show declines after a first season these days, there's so many other options.

Erren @erren.bsky.social · 06/10/2026
That and the complete film series is on the same platform. Anyone curious will more than likely watch those and move on quickly.

We only need to look at what's currently happening to the equally expensive and misguided Xbox mergers to see what will play out. In this case they've dumped a bunch of studios and staff.

A picture of Titanic sinking instead might be too on the nose.

Erren @erren.bsky.social · 06/10/2026
Yeah but they're also fickle and will move on quickly. Which isn't healthy for an expensive show.

They flooded the market too much and people don't care. And the collectors that do don't care about the show stuff because they like the movies.

That and Paramount has $77bn in debt.

Not only that but it was a terrible copy of their own Mad Max. It didn't work.

Erren @erren.bsky.social · 04/10/2026
Yes and it looks boring with worse lighting and casting than the original. Paramount will inevitably cancel it due to costs.

They want to reenact the sinking of the Titanic.

Several weeks ago, Phil Tippett's legendary animation studio in Berkeley, CA closed. An anonymous hero noticed a folder of CDs. This turned out to be hundreds of unseen hi-res images and videos from Star Wars, Robocop, Jurassic Park, etc. ~90 isos for you to browse: archive.org/details/tipp...
A casual Star Wars alien fella at the cantina, in a sun faded, reddish photo. Someone will be mad at me for not knowing who this is. Phil, a balding Caucasian man, poses a model of the garthok, an antagonist from the Coneheads movie.Phil, a balding caucasian man, points at some CG on a CRT computer monitor, as a younger man looks on. The screen shows a model of a dinosaur attacking a jeep, while there's an actual physical model of that event in the foreground for reference.an isolated shot of a star wars vehicle. Sorry, I don't know star wars lol

It's incredibly misogynistic so probably. Also Warner Bros isn't even hiding their bot activity these days.

Okay I looked it up and it's also incredibly misogynistic. They're tagging it with a term that's demeaning towards women.

Apropos of nothing, here's the callout I wrote for Eurogamer about the glaring lack of female voices in the games media. I wrote this in *2018*. Things did seem to get better for a while but now we're backsliding again and the reasons for it haven't changed. www.eurogamer.net/why-the-game...

It looks like a boring remake of the original with worse lighting and more superfluous content.
