I guess they were slightly more successful than their Captain Marvel boycott. They sure showed their box office influence on that one!:smilingeyes:

You have to actually interact with some of the GA to have any influence over them. Coming up with ridiculous theories within the same small group of people year after year after the vast majority have moved on, doesn't change minds en masse. Most of the GA are not discussing the deep politics of CBMs on forums/reddits for it etc and would never even know if a boycott was happening.

The last real season ends this June, only on The CW!

‘Superman & Lois’: Dylan Walsh & Emmanuelle Chriqui Among 7 Not Returning – Deadline

I mean look, I'm mad about Steel and Natalie, but hey trimming down Lana and her CW family drama is cool.

Flick....

That's....a lot of cuts.

 

[Shinobi Shaw]

That's....a lot of cuts.

Most of them are superfluous, IMO.

Yeah, just mentioned in the S&L threads that John and Nat are the only ones I really wanted saved. Shame for them but hopefully the final season is still worthwhile as a goodbye to Clark, Lois and the boys.

Most of them are superfluous, IMO.

And one in particular was very necessary and overdue!

The entire show is family drama. It's a literal family drama.

 

[Shinobi Shaw]

The entire show is family drama. It's a literal family drama.

I know but the Kent-Lane family drama is the focal point! Lana and her CW teen drama rama is SO unnecessary, give my fast forward finger a break.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Most of them are superfluous, IMO.

This feels like a weird reading of a show that's been working so well this season. The show is built around the entire cast. I love Clark and Lois most, but there is a reason a lot of these names have been there from day one. Lana especially, who's arguably the third or fourth major character on the show.

Like it's really weird to call her superfluous and then act like John Henry isn't. Unless you think the show is just about superpowers, which I think we all know, it isn't.

 

[Spider-Fan]

Most of them are superfluous, IMO.

Admittedly, I haven't seen the 2nd half of season 2 or any of season 3. So I have no idea how prominent anyone is right now

 

[squeekness]

Couldn't they just blur it out if it was so terrifying? Stupid.

 

[squeekness]

I agree. Too many side stories.

No one is more CW then Jordan. Literally no one. Hell, Jon has had multiple CW plotlines, including being on drugs and a girlfriend with a terrible daddy.

The show is a CW show. It has CW storylines. Even Clark and Lois. But what makes it work is the writing and performances. There has been one exception, that pretty much everyone has agreed on.

Yeah, can't imagine they're new to censorship.

Yes the show is definitely hitting it's stride this season, but again it's due largely (IMO) to the efforts of our main Kent-Lane family. I mean really you think if they kept all the Super Family stuff and didn't have Lana and her subplots with her slapping Sarah, her ex-husband sleeping with Chrissy and etc the show would be lacking?

 

[Sithborg]

That's....a lot of cuts.

I don't expect to know how many are actual cuts vs just reductions till the season filming schedule is firmed up. But yeah, its about what I expected when they said they were going to reduce the regular cast, though going all the way up to Chirqui on the Cushing side did kind of surprise me a bit. We will see how many return as guests or recurring.

 

[Iceman]

I don't mind the CW storylines involving the main characters (which includes the boys), but side stories involving Kyle that don't involve the Kents feel like they're wasting my viewing time.

I wanted John and Nat but can understand the decision there. Lana however, is right at the top of the supporting character list so that one was a surprise. Hopefully (as you say) we still see these characters pop up so it seems business as usual, just now hyper-focused on the Kents as things draw to a close.

We are on the same page, friend. I agree.

 

[Sithborg]

Huh. Based Sony?

Still want to see what the subs would have been for Venom 2 for China.

Even briefly touched old school WB Network with Seventh Heaven.

Yes. Because when Lois talks about her battle with cancer, her recovery, and how she got through it, there all there for a reason. The boys storylines are intertwined with the two other kids. There is a reason this is a big scene:



It's an ensemble show, where these characters inform each other's stories. Everyone, from Nat to the general is important. Because we are talking about 40+ min episodes. Walking around a ghost town, where they don't have actual people they communicate with, would be weird as heck after the first three seasons. It's like watching Gilmore Girls and getting rid of everyone but Lorelei and Rory, and being like, "yeah but they are the real attraction". That is never been how good shows built like this work.

This reminds me of the conversation around the new Daredevil show. Where people start suddenly acting like Foggy and Karen were superfluous.

I mean yeah, it's Kyle. We all know Kyle sucks. Even FC knows Kyle sucks.
