>reportedly
90% of that budget went to Klaus Schwab and WEF
Kit Harrington got to be in a movie with Sarah Gadon!
renown Queen of Spades Sarah Gadon?
Her used panties don't even smell great.
This show is SO bad. I just assumed it was some rando slop and moved on. They really dropped 250mil?! The entire premise of the show is moronic lmao
I'm really trying to think back on where the frick that money went. Sure they "traveled" all over the world but you can go anywhere with a green screen. Seriously what the frick Amazon, show me the invoices
It’s a lot to do with writing.
Producers pick the script, not the director in something this high budget. And the producers often don’t have any idea what good writing is. They sit around a table and check if it makes them laugh once, or ticks all their boxes for what makes a “good” story. But they have no real critical ability or artistic eye. So they green light godawful scripts they think are good that are from the nephew of one of the producers.
The script for operation fortune was so noticeably shit though. It's like it was a first draft or there was a conscious effort to put no effort in
Yeah it was pretty bad. Felt like a definite COVID impacted film.
This plus they have no history of making films or tv. They march in, think they know everything, and start barking orders.
They were making multiple shows.
When are the investigations gonna start about where the frick all this is money disappears to in low production value shows? It’s so obvious this shit is money laundering at this point.
Never crossed my mind, but I guess anything's possible.
It's just money laundering. That movie with Jason statham was honestly the strangest piece of shit I've ever watched, so much was spent on it but the script was the most low effort trash
What the frick happened with the Russo brothers? Aside from Extraction everything they touch is a major flop or bomb.
because they're not good. at all. they make awful, low effort movies. infinity war and endgame worked because of the studio's intervention and them being given dozens of characters with established backstories (and, frankly, those movies arent great, but they had hype behind em). they don't do well when it comes to being genuinely creative.
I mean it’s not like Endgame was good either
>What the frick happened with the Russo brothers?
They are directors for hire who need producer guidance
Was there ANY indication they could actually make good films? They went from TV to big screen TV (Marvel, and there films all looked terrible). When they try to make anything that isn't just director for hire hack work, they suck.
Marvel movies are made at the producer level, directors are nothing more than trained monkeys who are told what to do.
No one asked about marvel. Your bot broken or what?
why dont they just give away the money instead of making shit nobody watches?
You make something that looks expensive but is actually cheap, you then inflate the costs by X million then you inflate the profits. You have now turned bad money into good money
I watched Jack Ryan and instead of the "next episode" prompt, it tried to redirect me to Citadel.
Spoiler alert: whites hate gay male leads and non-white costars.
Go woke, go broke.
I literally only watched this because of that fine as frick pajeeta tho
and you are the only gay who watched it
Based critical drinker fan. Did you catch the quarterings new video
>gay male leads
wtf? I thought at least this could be comfy colonizing kino
he's not gay, he impregnates two of his coworkers
are they men?
no
Jack Ryan good or goy slop?
It's better than most shit being made these days. Krasinski is an odd choice for a lead role in a military spy show.
It's good slop (first season anyway - 2 and 3 were a tad flat). It's Michael Bay does Tom Clancy, so you know exactly what you're getting.
My mom and step-father like it so it's a coin flip. Never watched it myself.
easy. stop casting pajeets.
Robb Stark's actor is super gay.
Does Pedro Pascal count? He's doing alright.
So I watched half the first episode. It was so monumentally awful that I suspected we were getting meta-shenanigans - like they are IN a bad spy tv show, Black Mirror style.
Can any anons who watched the whole thing confirm?
How do they even make money off of it?
They don't. Amazon drops billions on content which is just there as a bonus for it's customers signing up to it's subscription package delivery service. Kind of nuts when you think about it.
it's = it is
its = adjective indicating possession
IT'S a bonus for ITS customers
you fricking moron
They don’t need to. Amazon makes all their money from you know, the actual business of delivering shit
This Amazon streaming platform operates at a huge loss on the assumption it will one day be profitable. Hence the insane spending of billions of dollars on flops like Rings of Power
Works the same with other huge companies like Apple. Not sure what the quality of Apple Plus movies and shows is but there’s zero chance they’re making a profit from their streaming platform because barely anyone uses it, and the only people I know who use it, use it because they have a years worth free from buying a new phone or iPad.
Apple also hopes to gradually build up a subscriber base. And their base company is so rich they can afford to spend billions on tv shows and films and just hope they’re good
Both Amazon and Apple essentially have loss leaders with content in a desire to keep you on their platforms. Their movies are free drinks at a casino
To be fair the biggest expense of RoP was building the studio. That's a capital investment. I would be willing to guess that there was some other internal spending that they think is worth it. This is Econ 101. Not a bad thing
You'd think so, but apparently Jeff Bezos just really "wanted" LOTR and the head of Amazon studios wanted a HBO killer. Turns out DEI killed it, but oh well.
That’s not true. They literally spent a billion dollars on just the rights to the characters and story. Not the Lord of the rings story mind you. Just the silmarilliom lol
The best part of Rings of Power is that Peter Jackson offered to help them develop it and they basically told him to frick off believing they could do it better.
From a business sense it makes sense because they can’t ever get the rights to Jackson’s movies. So having Jackson do them would be kind of handcuffing them to a property they don’t have and can’t recreate.
Amazon doesn't make money delivering things, that doesn't make profit
they make money on web services
Amazon makes money from merch. They have reported on this, how certain merch sales go up when shows are running. When they own the IP they make even more money.
Why are they trying to push Richard Madden? Dude has zero charisma
Probably the cheapest B-lister they could get so they could pocket the rest
Amazon should take a break from making streaming shows or at the least not spend so much money on them.
That's apparently what's going on now, they're having "internal talks" about it.
Imagine the kino they could have licensed for that 250 mil. Or just take the Blumhouse model (they already have a deal with him). They could have made 50 Purges, Insidiouses, Saws etc with that. Even if they take say 100, assign it to horror/thrillers - that's 20 films, then produce a couple of mid budget action films (Gyllenhaals The Covenent cost 50 mil), make two of those and then use the remainder for female orientated comedy (you could knock out 2-3 low-mid budgeters) for the remainder. These already the sorts of kinos that top streaming anyway.
>Imagine the kino they could have licensed for that 250 mil.
This. Surely it can't cost more than a couple million a year for, say, the Arnold Schwarzenegger film library. Yes they won't actually own it, but they don't need to.
Poor Richard Madden. Good Scottish lad
How exactly are these losses calculated? Does anybody pay amazon prime for prime video?
I occasionally get free trial offers.
Not really. The movies and shows are, as stated, free concerts and drinks in Las Vegas. It's something to keep you mail ordering through the Amazon middle man.
I do. It has a huge catalog of low budget old shit and television shows nobody has ever heard of before that I can't get enough of. Like literally I look for the title cards that look like it was made by an African C average Cinemaphile student.
I have Amazon prime just because it makes deliveries cheaper
There’s a handful of good shows and movies on there. Like House. And Justified That aren’t anywhere else for me conveniently
You could have 10 seasons of Invader Zim with that dough, what a fricking waste!
Everything Richard Madden is in flops because he's openly bisexual, so all the coomer women who would ordinarily be his fanbase flee from his films in disgust because no women have any respect for bisexual men.
I think it's hilarious Amazon invested so much money in this and Rings of Power assuming they'd be hits and both shows flopped massively.
Cinderella and Bodyguard were successful.
Never even heard about it
Momoa stars in a blockbuster film every 3 months.
Amazon prime is already the worst streaming service. Hardly anything worth watching and when you do find something it's got ads or you have to pay 5$ to rent it. It's stupid. Tubi has a better selection by far.
What about Pascal?
Is this actually worth watching. Richard madden is actually good compared to like kit and emilia
it's bizarre and bad but a bit entertaining
it has a funny high concept story that I like but the scene to scene writing is literally bottom tier trash
the action is moronic shit, the CGI is horrible and unnecessary, there's few locations but the show pretends there's a lot
I like Madden, pajeeta is a pajeeta but she speaks proper English and is able to act
it seems it should have been on the cheap side but isn't
it's gunning hard for the pajeet audience with the idiotic cartoon action James Bond on steroids that is poorly done
4 episodes in
The curse of being in a good franchise
I can't picture him as nothing else but the stark that died in season 2
Who the hell does Amazon have running their movie/tv department? They are hopeless. They keep producing and/or purchasing crap and they are spending absolutely insane amounts on it.
As an Indian, I reufse to watch this prostitute who married a white man.
All of your women are married to white men.
The first 2 episodes were ok after that it got dumber and dumber and dont even get me startet on the CGI
They were shit actors who managed to get their golden ticket but they had no decent foundation as a higher class actor with range. As soon as GoT ended you saw them in every shlock series like Star Wars or marvel because of they still were still in the spotlight, but they don’t have what it takes to keep getting varied roles.
Priyanka Chopra could have done that role 15 years ago, now it's ridiculous, she's too old.
Missandei is about to play the lead in Coppola's new project Megalopolis.
I saw her outside the Groucho a few years ago. She was scowling like a sour-faced b***h.
Because they're British. It's the same thing as rhe Harry Potter kids. They were wildly successful, but that doesn't matter if you don't live in Hollywood and you have a British accent. You're not with an agent getting you the right auditions and you can't play American roles.
Also game of thrones fricking sucked ans everyone involved with it bar Mr bean should be dragged through the streets by wild zebra
we call them "meme actors" for a reason
It was a moronic show and I doubt it has anything to do with Richard Madden on account of him doing pretty good in Bodyguard.
It's the same fricking issue as The Gray Man, there's no reason to care if the action is all whacky stunts, terrible CGI and terrible choreography, everyone's an insufferable quipster and "super secret spy stuff" boiling down to
>walk into the building of this insanely secretive shadow government spy agency where I hacked the employee directory and then walk around the halls a bit, wait for someone to leave the super high security lab where the briefcase you want is in, grab the briefcase, brain a random guard who happens to walk into the room and then calmly walk out of the building while the lab guys return, realize shit's missing and then run around yelling instead of triggering a lockdown or alarm or anything.
The show's just complete shit.
already greenlit for season 2. seethe.
Netflix hired one of the Russo brothers to save it.
Yikes. They're making an IP out of this thing. Hindi language spin off and an Italian one, too. They thought they were gonna have some Money Heist style international hit franchise.
> lead actress is 40 and looks 40
> has no chemistry with lead
> older than male lead
She's the lead character, not Madden. It's kind of like an action show made for chicks.
She's a co-lead at best, Madden clearly has more screen time and story.
From the marketing, I thought she was the MC. Madden was the eye candy for chicks.
I thought it was gonna be something like Alias or a Joss Whedon show with a 40 year old Indian chick. She has "amnesia" and then she remembers she's a super spy or something.
