And of course they cancel it on a brutal (but wonderfully crafted) cliffhanger.

I’m saying don’t all your eggs in one basket, which is why I named multiple examples of shows that AS cancelled even though they were popular.

I think Multiverse’s biggest problem was that it had a woman in it who was portrayed as a hysterical mommy-monster incapable of sound judgement because she missed her babies, which was a really simplistic, frustrating portrayal given how much depth she’d been given in Wandavision.

Financially, it did well, sure. Creatively, Strange was a disappointment, with all the potential of a multiverse wasted by showing us a couple of dull worlds that seem like reskinned variants of the main MCU, the potential of introducing Mr. Fantastic and Professor X wasted by killing them off instantly (and having…

“This is an attempt to do Scooby Doo as if they were being made now.”

Listen, fellow Squanch Games employees: I know this looks bad. Sure, our CEO grooms teenage girls and sure, he hit his girlfriend and sure, he also freaking imprisoned her.

Good thing they have other great adult swim shows to fall back on like Tuca and Bertie- oh wait they just cancelled that one. But hey, there’s always evergreen classic The Venture Bro-wait, they cancelled that, too. But look at all the great shows they have in developme- oh wait, they have nothing because WB’s new CEO…

If the only artist you know is the Rick and Morty guy then I don’t think you’re really qualified to be talking about art.

You vastly overestimate the intelligence and situational awareness of the typical high-ranked executive.

So the payoff for suffering through multiple seasons of them being toxic assholes to each other, is that we will eventually get to see them as friends. The same dynamic that they’ve already had for hundreds of episodes of classic TV.

Two and a half voices, really. Here they are:

Yeah, this is indeed an “absolute landmine” for this very specific, tiny subsection of people who live rent-free in your head and whom you’ve never encountered in real life. Checkmate, atheists!

“League? League of Legends? Ew gross.”

The first Mario + Rabbids came out during a relative dry spell for Switch titles. Mario Odyssey was still months away, and Breath of the Wild had been out for six months. Rabbids filled that release gap nicely for Nintendo fans.

This whole thing comes off as so desperate. Like the creators hate the source material and want to twist it into something cool and modern just so they don’t feel ashamed to be working on it. Which is stupid because Scooby Doo has been consistently popular for 50 years now. Not only does it not need to be trendy, I’d…

There have been lesbian jokes and speculation about Velma for decades, both from fans and from the show writers themselves, so making the subtext explicit is barely really a change at this point.
