The rule of thumb is 3x the production budget for the studio to break even, because not only did they outlay the production budget (X dollars), marketing for tentpoles is usually about the same as the production cost. You might think, well, then they only need to make 2x to cover it... but the studio doesn’t get all…

My favorite adaptation of the Suicide Squad remains “Task Force X”, the episode from the Justice League cartoon.  It’s just a lean, quickly-paced, lower-stakes (well, lower than either film version, anyway) supervillain heist that wraps up in a half-hour.  I wish they would’ve spun off a show from that episode.

There’s Doom Patrol, though...

Calling the animated Harley Quinn a spin-off of Suicide Squad (or Birds of Prey) feels like a huge stretch.

I’ve said it my entire life. Fuck y’all.

I don’t understand why WB (under any ownership) doesn’t put the people behind the DCAU in charge. Why the hell not? At least they have a vision.

When is Netflix going to settle its beef with Olyphant and I for canceling Santa Clarita Diet? Assholes. 

This is why someone like Bruce Timm would be a better fit. He’s had some missteps in some of the animated films, but the dude has been involved with some of the best DC properties since the 90s. He knows his shit.

Can you MRM snowflake more? Men fucking “hulk out” in their everyday lives constantly, often with deadly results. Society (and media as reflection of that) lionizes and teaches that men are dominant, need to be protectors and warriors, not take shit, and that consequently violence can be an answer to their feelings of…

caricature Sexist Male Colleague

so in which reality/society men are allowed to “hulk out” in their everyday lives?

Or, hear me out. It’s showing what women go through at work and in life?

Lol

I should know better than to treat this comment as a good-faith argument about Bruce vs Jen’s abilities, even though it’s been a tired talking point for a month now since the first preview came out. But it should be stated at least once in the thread that this isn’t what the show actually depicted.

Imagine someone in charge of fucking Warner Brothers saying animation doesn’t matter(which is basically what this preso said). It’s not quite a hypothetical new Disney CEO saying “Fuck Mickey Mouse” but it’s close.  

I guess I shouldn’t be surprised since the critics and the Discourse didn’t seem to pay much attention to them, but in Netflix originals that have wrapped*, I’d give hearty endorsements to F Is For Family and Santa Clarita Diet.

You think the trans community, just out of the blue, targeted Dave for no reason? You would think a black man would be more sensitive to bigotry and would be less likely to do it to others.

Laws have recently been put in place to deny trans people rights.

Transphobic can also mean hating trans people.
