What went wrong, bros?
I thought that Scoob and the Hanna-Barbera cinematic universe had the potential to be as big as Marvel, but now it's dead.

Tax write-off if they cancel in-production pre-merger projects. Company has released a statement saying this about Batgirl.
Should they be allowed to do that without releasing it? How can it be deemed a "loss" without even giving it a chance?
Yes?
How exactly do they determine that then? It's their choice not to release it.
It was never going to be as big as Marvel, but that's not why it was cut.
WB is desperate to save as much money as it can on their excess spending on the Flash shit, so they're cutting whatever they can. Batgirl and the Scoob special came first, and there will likely be more.
The real tragic bit is that the Scoob special was 95% done and was testing great with its target audience. All that hard work, shelved forever.
but hey TRANS RIGHTS!
I'm trans so hell yeah, trans rights.
Also, unrelated, Ezra's an butthole.
When's the suicide?
Not happening. I feel more alive than ever.
In two years then?
Gross
How tight is Ezra´s butthole?
It's funny because batgirl's chopping spared us of alyssa yeoh
>HB-verse
No, they'd just poz all the remaining good animated characters left.
They already did that with trans Jellystone characters.
Seems like Discovery sees that streaming numbers don't recoup on the expenses of production.
If you're going to make a DC or HB project it should go in theaters or on cable.
Scooby-Doo has been the exact same thing for 60 years.
How it managed to last as long as it has is a mystery in itself.
they keep reinventing it duh. mystery incorporated was the only series i consider actually good though. every otyer iteration is just the same shit with a different coat of paint
Don't talk bad about A Puro Named Scooby Doo
if you actually thought that you need to go back to school, I'm not sure how someone can be that stupid and still functional in human society
the cancelation had nothing to do with the movie's quality or franchise potential. the new CEO hates the idea of releasing expensive movies direct-to-HBO Max, felt they weren't gonna turn a profit on it, so he made them write it off for tax purposes so they can recoup some costs. if it had been greenlit for theatrical release from the start, they would still be putting it out
>CEO has two brain cells to rub together
How is he bad guy again?
i could have sworn that people did not like AT&T gutting WB's legacy, pulling everything from theaters and dumping onto HBOMax in order to pump up their streaming service.
Now it seems like the new CEO is ripping the band-aid off and course correcting and thats also a bad thing?
In terms of animation, it seems like there's a course correction with Sam Register overseeing WB Animation, CN Studios and Hanna Barbera Europe.
The Gremlins cartoon is actually happening for cable.
They just greenlit the PPG and Fosters revival under the new Discovery CEO -- and thats also for cable.
Looney tunes, Scooby Doo and Tom&Jerry are all getting pre-school shows - again all for cable.
Streaming is such a bad idea. People only really to use it for rewatches and on-demand.
It should be service for re-watching comfy classics and catching recent episodes of shows... not for the future of your superhero cinematic universe.
AT&T gutted WB so they could sell HBOMax as a package bundle with their internet service packages.
But Discovery's whole empire is in cable TV.
As much as it sucks to cancel all this stuff, it makes sense that they want to restore HBO's prestige legacy and get back into the business of having blockbuster theatrical movies.
>Streaming is such a bad idea. People only really to use it for rewatches and on-demand.
they should like use their service to put the shows up like a day or two after its first broadcast airing on tv.
Why would I buy cable TV when I can stream whatever I want
The HB verse as such already was dead. This sequel was going to drop all of the crossover aspect and focus on a standalone Scooby gang only plot.
Scooby Doo hasn't been good in ages.
Because of WB. Having real monsters and actual interesting plots was what got people interested in Scooby-doo again, and this shit didn't only happen once, but it happened multiple times.
Still, WB continues to spit in the faces of the people who did that, thinking anyone actually wants the same old, same old shit but this time with out of place guest stars and capeshit for no reason.
>Because of WB
No because Scooby Doo was bad from the beginning.
You are a tasteless homosexual.
Sneed
wow
This is the first year without any kind of new Scooby Doo movie since 1999
good. wb franchises having a deluge of shit content is one of the problems the new guy is trying to fix.
It kept me entertained during the 2010-2020 drought so it served its purpose well. At least before they started with the whole "Lol ghosts aren't real" bullshit.
I'm a comics writer trying to get a Scooby comic idea off the ground and I know I literally probably won't be able to because it deals with actual paranormal shit and not "WUBBA LUBBA GHOSTS AREN'T REAL MORTY"
there was someone trying to pitch a Ghoul Camp spin off focused on school hijinx.
He'd regularly comision e-girl porn of the mummy girl thos
I thought Scoob!'s kid Daph was the cutest version of the character so I was looking forward to seeing more of her. Oh, well.
If Genndy gets cucked again I'm gonna LOSE it.
Are they going to sell it to the US government like Mega XLR?
Cartoons are doomed.
>had the potential to be as big as Marvel
Frick no, that stupid idea was terrible.
Were Dastardly and Muttley gonna be in it? Because if not, nothing of value has been lost.
>What went wrong, bros?
fairly standard merger bs. Someone new steps in with control of everything, says "THERE'S GONNA BE SOME CHANGES AROUND HERE" and just starts canceling any productions approved by their predecessor and firing anyone they think is unimportant.
Generally I like Warner Brothers new Not Releasing Shitty Movies strategy.
dickychads are going to get Zaz for canning her movie
Yeesh and they call US groomers
I don't get this tax write off crap.
>Oh Mr Taxman we spent 70 mil on some crap then decided to dump it, so we won't pay tax on our billion dollar profit
Scoob was a movie that was literally an attempt at speedrunning a cinematic universe masquerading as a Scooby movie, frick it, I'm glad it failed.
Say what you will about MCU, but they at the very least in the beginning got their shit down right in making people care about the original characters before trying to shove multiphase crossover teaser shit in everyone's face.
what does discovery have against scripted shows?
Money pit for streaming services.
They don't make money. Its far easier and cheaper to make trashy reality TV. You just need a camera and people. Done.
>trashy reality
>just a camera and people
most people watch YouTube-vloggers and TikTok for that kinda shit nowadays. I look forward to WarnerBrosDiscovery learning that the hard way.
Yeah, what a great dunk, except no one is watching WB/Max shit anyways, which is why they are so far in debt.
Is the Black Velma show also cancelled?
I hope it gets shitcanned for my sanity
>A harmless throwback to A Pup Named Scooby Doo gets canceled but the show featuring Mandy's self-insert, no-Scooby, Black and autistic Shaggy, Sexist Fred and closeted lesbian Daphne gets to live.
>Black and autistic Shaggy
And a handsome quarterback too apparently. Let's hope it's fake
I can live with a quarterback Shaggy if done right.
Is this the end of people attempting shared universes now? Has any shared universe except Marvel even been a success? Not even a huge success just a general success? Star Wars I GUESS?
Somewhat surprised that a sequel even got greenlit. The previous movie grossed $27 million on a $90 million budget, which doesn't even account for shit like marketing.
Apparently it did pretty damn good in digital. It was like the third most rented movie during Covid in the States. Making a sequel with half the budget around the best part of the movie (the flashback) exclusively for streaming was a sound idea
>this cancelled
>Zatanna movie cancelled too probably
Paul Dini deserved better
Dini was writting the Zee movie?
>I thought that Scoob and the Hanna-Barbera cinematic universe had the potential to be as big as Marvel
This fricking board, man.
The son of one of the directors set up a Change.org page

>they canned the A Pup Named Scooby Doo homage movie
Fricking hell, I actually wanted to see that. A Pup Named was easily one of the best incarnations of the franchise.
