The HBO Max/Discovery Griefing Thread - look how they massacred my boys

[Scarlett Johansson]

Putting this here because the shitshow is upon us. Discovery is deal with HBO Max.

It started with Batgirl getting cancelled but that's not the end.

Expect some (possibly shocking) news regarding these shows:
• Gossip Girl
• Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin
• Hacks
• The Sex Lives of College Girls
• And Just Like That
• Peacemaker
• Our Flag Means Death
• Minx
• Rap Sh!t
• Doom Patrol
• Titans
• Harley Quinn

Warner Bros. merging with Discovery was a bad idea to begin with. Now they're just self-immolating.

For video games there's a lot of gloom and doom over their recent Multiversus smash clone being (potentially) cancelled now that Season 1's content drop got delayed, either it is unaffected or cancellations could be for everything

 

[Tor Lugosi]

the only good thing on that list is... maybe Doom Patrol? i feel like that show's been living on borrowed time already

 

[Blacklight]

Titans? You mean that show with the tranny looking Starfire knock off? That's still being made?

….fuck, I hadn’t considered that.

Oh it only gets worse when you think of CN/Adult Swim properties, with stuff like the Venture Bros movie that's now in the crossfires of a retarded company

Well, the game is safe, at least.

Good, would be way too retarded to cancel any of it with its reception

I was about to say, HBO has a long list of ongoing shows, but almost all of it's shit. Succession and Righteous Gemstones are great, but rounding out the top three would be hard.

That and Hacks although that's only because of Jean Smart.

Anyway i expect a lot of tard rage on Twitter.

Edit: its happening

Oh fuck, please let Smiling Friends be safe.

 

[I'm Not Racist Anymore]

I really can't see how they wouldn't just dump Batgirl, a 90 million dollar movie on one of the streaming sites, It has to cost almost nothing to put an ad on Youtube/Twitter saying its coming out on HBOMax. Leaving a basically finished film unreleased is such an unheard thing that I feel like this will happen within like the next 2 years.

Also there's apparently some Scooby Doo movie that is finished which is facing the same thing.

 

[woowie queen]

the minor silver lining in all of this merger mess is that tcm was left alone, like if the channel lives in its own bubble. for the rest, that's a literal mess on the warner side. the discovery side seems to be left alone, though (not you can do much when all it goes on this channels is reality tv stuff).

 

[MooseGump]

Oh fuck, please let Smiling Friends be safe.

Zach is gonna unleash his rat army if they decide to fuck with it, they better just leave AS alone in general

 

[Chocolate Wombat]

So...I should probably go ahead and buy The Wire on Amazon just to be safe?

You should always own a physical version of something you really like or enjoy.

• Gossip Girl
• Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin
• Hacks
• The Sex Lives of College Girls
• And Just Like That
• Peacemaker
• Our Flag Means Death
• Minx
• Rap Sh!t
• Doom Patrol
• Titans
• Harley Quinn

If these get cancelled, nothing of value is lost.

Supposedly, the test screenings were so poor that they're concerned it would cause irrevocable harm to the DC movie brand were it released. Which, considering the reputation the brand already has, suggests it was pretty astonishingly bad.
