I just read a rant on Tumblr about how Netflix series inevitably get cancelled before they can reach a satisfactory conclusion.
Now I see #SellTheSnyderverseToNetflix is trending on Twitter!
Does anyone remember when Fox was new and first started?
Things like 21 Jump Street would probably not have survived on the other major networks. Certainly Married With Children would not have made it. No one would have green lit the Tracey Ullman show, which ended up setting the stage for The Simpsons. They gave a lot of shows early on a chance to make it. They held onto X Files while it was in that Friday night death zone and then it got steam to be their big Sunday night hit. Then with some time, they started cancelling shows left and right. And we lost Firefly. Had Freaks and Geeks aired on Fox instead, maybe it would have made it. A lot of what we lose is also about timing.
Right now is just a bad time for being a TV show hoping to get renewed. Economy is not great. Lots of bombs were made and got lots of people fired. There has never been more antagonism between show runners and their audiences. The push for original programming for every network has reached a saturation point. There is a legitimate pushback against aggressive wokeness and identity politics infused in entertainment.
What's going on with the DCEU is part of a larger situation across the entire industry.
Right now, there is both too much original content and too little at the same time. So much original content means fringe licenses actually have a chance. Cowboy BeBop is one case. That kind of show doesn't get made back in the old TV era. However the trade off is a show like that has to compete against a tidal wave of other programs competing for viewers attention. And so it's easier to die off too. The spread also thins out the practical production talent. You have stupid people in charge of Rings Of Power because what's left? I mean the most talented people are likely locked into other running projects.
I believe James Gunn can make this work. Just focus on letting the audience have a fun time. It's no surprise Wonder Woman 1984 failed. It was Patty Jenkins using the film as a free personal therapy session to grind every personal axe she has against everyone she hated in her personal life.
Sucks Cavill has to be collateral damage, but it's a problem where the blame is spread out. Amber Heard, Whedon, the Cyborg guy, Affleck and his drinking, Ezra Miller kidnapping people, incomprehensible woke messes like Birds Of Prey and WW84, it's a long list. Even if Will Smith comes back at some point, even he created some toxic baggage that won't go away.
Sometimes healthy flesh needs to get cut out to excise the cancer. In this case, it's probably Cavill. That's unfortunate.
These people got their shot. And for the most part, they blew it. That's on them. We see it in sports all the time. If your team can't win, they churn out the roster until they find players who can help them win. And sometimes a few players who are pretty useful get the boot too unfairly. But it's how it works.
and robs the world of experiencing Superman flying with CGI first!
