Oh I get it. But I don’t see how you grow that base. I’m definitely canceling my subscription if even half of what’s being speculated on happens.Quality profit margins, my man.
They are going to shrink the fanbase, focus on dude bros, spend less money, and pray their big prestige stuff hits. That is how they plan on making money.
My soul. It hurts. All I can hope for is Harley being part of the Bat Family saves her. Doom Patrol is definitely dead after this season. But I already expected that. Just hope I get to see this one, and they don't get a tax write off for it instead.
I’m pretty confident on that. You can’t pull the wool over people’s eyes for that long. He can make money from reality shows and keep shareholder’s happy on that front but you need fans and regular people onboard for these big productions and the same shareholders will notice when things go wrong on that end. He’s alienating people who see DC films multiple times in cinemas.
As someone who actually does like a few of his movies... let's not manifest this, for all that is cinema.
I don’t really call it a win. Under anyone with a brain there would be no thought of it being at risk in the first place.
Feels like he landed in the wrong industry and is applying what worked in a different one here as he really doesn’t seem to understand some basics. Scripted shows (and films) may have large inherent risk but the industry has been around for a very long time. You don’t last that long if there is an obvious flaw in the model. Reality TV scratches a completely different itch and even if it makes money with less risk, it’s a different source of revenue, not a replacement of what you can get from scripted drama.Zaslav on Scripted Drama: "It's like a kid's soccer game - everyone saw something that worked and started chasing the ball. It's way too expensive."
I cannot comprehend thinking that way about scripted tv - the definitive root of the medium for all of its history. And he's talking about it like its some lame fad.
Someone needs to inform me on the 90 Day Fiance Universe lore so I can understand who the Thanos is.
It's Coltie and Debbie. Or Big Ed. Or Nicole. Or Chantel's mom. There are options, so they can lay it out in sagas like Marvel does.Someone needs to inform me on the 90 Day Fiance Universe lore so I can understand who the Thanos is.
At a time when premium scripted television is praised as much as or more than cinema this idiot wants to come in and act like it's the stuff of wasteful children.Zaslav on Scripted Drama: "It's like a kid's soccer game - everyone saw something that worked and started chasing the ball.

Scripted TV will go the way of the dinosaur any moment now.Zaslav on Scripted Drama: "It's like a kid's soccer game - everyone saw something that worked and started chasing the ball. It's way too expensive."

In the case of HBO, success breeds success. They have a good track record.
Give it time. It's only been 94 years. There's still a chance. Zaslav might be the meteor
