Pretty interesting premise. Never heard of the comic but now I’m looking forward to this based on the plot. Kinda reminds me of when Daredevil became Kingpin of Hell’s Kitchen.

Wow I remember Grendel. The character was pretty popular back in the early 90s. If I remember correctly, Hunter was only the first Grendel and there were several others after him. Cool to see a Dark Horse character getting an adaption.

Next maybe I’ll finally get my “X” series (yeah, right)…

 

[Iceman]

Sounds interesting. Will keep an eye out for this.

Netflix Not Moving Forward With Grendel Series
well….ok.

 

[TheVileOne]

Well if the guy who did Netflix Resident Evil was working on it, that might be a blessing in disguise.

 

[Deck Rickard]

Maybe. But it’s pretty ****ed to just cancel a series after it’s almost finished filming. I hope another streamer picks it up.

It's kinda crazy this stuff is happening lately. Could the series have really been that much of a mis fire? Why not just release it and see how it does?

Seriously. It’s not like Netflix hasn’t released bad content before, lol. But I’m sure this didn’t reach the high standards set by The Gray Man and Adam Sandler Trash Comedy #43.

I mean they released this:



And this:



I would've wanted to give this a couple episodes at least.

Makes me wonder if things are even more dire at Netflix than what's getting rumored.

Wow. I’m glad I didn’t watch either of these shows. WTF?

I assume they got Dua Lipa’s permission for the second one but I can’t believe she would have signed off on that if she saw it lol. She should sue.

 

[TheVileOne]

The Cowboy Bebop live-action show had a lot of forced attempts at being witty and Whedon-speak. Hence why we end up with things like "you are black and you are male!" And Faye Valentine screaming "welcome to the ouch blank blank."

The Dua Lipa thing was about like some form of mind control, but it's still awful in execution.

Why are you posting oscar worthy scenes

I don't know anything about the titular hero, but I hope he has one arm and a dislike for party noise.
