The same WBD insiders who told us James Gunn was fired over Man of Tomorrow‘s final cut say incoming DC Studios boss Jeremy Latcham’s “involvement as a Christian means no more R like Peacemaker and Lanterns, though he wouldn’t discount a DC R-rated flick in the vein of the Odyssey.”

    I mean not really? Ellison’s aim is to make WB/HBO into The Dailywire so yeah, this makes unfortunate sense.

    Look forward to the next Superman movie to adapt Superman Smashes the Klan and taking it a very different direction.

      So they want to take a service with 120 million subscribers and make it more like one with a million, the rich are definitely smart and in touch.

          I see the propaganda and the ratings that followed.

          I’m this close to dropping my HBO and using a VPN to access Crave for my gay hockey drama programming.

          Sounds like a great way to invoke an investor lawsuit. I expect a lot more of that come next year, even.

        Same bull shit with Twitter.

        These jokers make these hyper conservative services that fail, and assume they just did not get traction. So the strategy becomes to buy one with an existing user base, and convert it to be hyper conservative.

        But then get all shocked face when it collapses too. Because the problem isn’t getting traction, it’s that conservative media is shit.
