Shameik Moore returns to voice Miles, alongside Hailee Steinfeld as Stacy/Spider-Gwen, Jake Johnson as Peter B. Parker, Luna Lauren Velez as Rio Morales, and Brian Tyree Henry as Jefferson Davis. Greta Lee and Oscar Issac have also returned for the sequel.

I’m gonna watch this on my cell phone in about three months and then decide if it’s a good movie. 

I remember the general sentiment around the original Avatar being awe at the technology and the world itself while complete indifference at the characters and story, so I’m a bit bummed to learn it focuses on the same heroes and villains instead of being an entirely new story within the Avatar universe.

If this is your bag then by all means enjoy yourself. I personally have no interest in seeing a piece of especially dumb seventies van art turned into a 2 1/2 movie 

I see more people shitting on Zaslav than HBO Max and lamenting how it’s going to lose everything that made it good. It’s the service I find I want to watch the most things on, for about the same reasons as you. :(

Zaslav was head of Discovery prior to the merger, right?  He’s the one that transformed it from high brow education stuff to cheap-as-dirty-reality-trash.  He’s a one trick pony trying the same method on HBO?  Maybe?

Was Zaslav brought on to just destroy everything from the inside? He started by canceling everything that was in progress or unrealeased and now he’s removing things that were already done.  Who’s going to sign up for a streaming service that doesn’t have anything on it?

It’s like if the head of Disney literally collected the six Infinity Stones and used them to wipe out half of all Marvel movies as a tax write-off.

I don’t even know what they get out of killing HBO Max.  HBO is still a pretty prestigious brand-name, much more so than Discovery, which used to be high brow educational stuff and has now become lowest-common denominator reality trash.  But if you kill off HBO’s streaming stuff, what do you do with it?  Just sit on

At least Roku saved Chad season 2.

It could have been worse -- a decade ago she almost played Mary Jane in the infamous Broadway flop “Spiderman: Turn off the Dark” according to the tell-all book “The Song of Spiderman”.

All they’ll have to do is get a billion people to subscribe to Max for three years each; how hard can that be with the 90-Day-verse as their prime offering?

“Check your app, pal, because you’re watching Fuck City, now streaming on HBO Max!”

She really needs that sweet sweet Yankovic bump

Oh I get it now, Gob Bluth is in charge of HBO!

Is this a case of “saving the company” or more of a “cut ALL the expenses so I can claim to have increased profits for a massive bonus before I jump ship on the drained husk of the once thriving company” situation?

This is entirely about not having to pay residuals or broadcast rights fees.
WB got loaded up with WAY too much debt between its AT&T tenure and what Zaslav had to borrow to pull off the merger. Add in the popping of the streaming growth bubble and there’s pretty much no possible way for WB Discovery to grow it’s way

This is totally bonkers and alarming.  Moreso than Batgirl ever was. Like taking True Blood or something off because the show trailed off in the end.  Insanity.

Zaslav’s strategy seems to be the equivalent of “why don’t they make the whole plane out of the black box?” That’s a hacky punchline and so is he.
