Discovery, which closed its $43 billion merger with WarnerMedia last week, is “toying with the idea of turning DC into its own solidified content vertical.”

The problem with Cyborg getting elevated to JL status has always been that it wasn’t because he was interesting enough, it was because he was the only Black superhero in the DC lineup that Geoff Johns would let them use for anything. Jon Stewart, Jo Mullein, or Rocket would all be more interesting, but two of them are…

I mean, just on the bare merits of writing, acting directing, etc., I can see how someone would grade it as above average at best.

The character is just so boring. He’s also the weak link in Doom Patrol. I guess you could lean into the body horror and PTSD aspects, but there’s not much to wring out of him. More suited to action figures than drama. Cyborg would be a fun retro video game, I bet.

If your solidified content vertical lasts more than six hours, consult a medical professional.

It’s DC. They’ll probably hire Joss Whedon.

It should be, if they’re actually serious about this.

Or Peacemaker or the animated Harley Quinn show.

But where’s the paradigm shift?!?!

I’m surprised it wasn’t referred to as a synergistic solidified content vertical.

It’s going to be James Gunn, isn’t it?

Dear WB/DC/Discovery: Do not fuck with Doom Patrol...or Stargirl.

Not as important as MORE DOOM PATROL

If it were made public, then you truly couldn’t regulate hate speech or covid misinformation. Now when twitter bans them, it’s a private company making a decision based on its terms of service and not - despite what right-wingers and weirdos like Musk say - a free speech violation. But if the government ran it, it…

On one hand I get the temptation, but on the other hand the thought of social media as state media is absolutely terrifying

I read this in Norm Macdonald’s voice.

You guys, I’m starting to think the guy might be a tad bit narcissistic maybe.
