I think throwing away a movie thats already been made into the garbage so it never sees the light of day is different then the initial decision to greenlight a movie in the first place. One is destroying art that already exists, the other is preventing a project from being made in the first place.

But yeah honestly the former has always been incorrect lol and Ive never been one to say that! Im an art maximalist. Plus I'm like probably the biggest MCU enjoyer on Hexbear. So...

I agree. And the "throw away a movie to claim the tax write-off" trick only really works when you're a new CEO with a bunch of old media in the hopper. WB can't do this for very long.

I just find it silly to be a fanboi for a movie you're never going to see. If Disney had trashed The Marvels or Quantumanium, this community would have been ecstatic.

I mean, the Hollywood model has been absolutely poisonous for the arts for ages. Losing a courtroom dramady about a cartoon character is ice cubes on the glacier.

I dont think saying a movie being shitcanned is a bad thing is fanboing.

I dont think they would have actually. We were mad about Batgirl iirc. Or I certianly was. And I didnt even think that movie was going to be good.

the main difference is that when you trash a movie that's already complete, you're throwing away thousands upon thousands of labor hours

if a marvel movie got cancelled before production started i'd celebrate, if it got thrown out after it was completed, I'd feel really fuckin bad for all of the VFX artists, actors, and camera/sound folks that spent a chunk of their lives making the movie and now won't get any meaningful accreditation for it to help them move onto better projects than "buddy cop courthouse looney toons dramedy"
