That season is actually pretty damn integral to the rest of the show, lmao. Sorry you didn't like it, but pass the plate over if you don't mind.

Reply to Thoughts on the new series Animal Control? Sounds like half of us are really enjoying it and the other half of viewers are not. Can’t think of any recent shows with this polarizing of opinions of it by ChessQueenCity
I thought it was a solid pilot with some great character development in just a small period of time. Laughed quite a bit, so I hope it only gets better from here.

All the Walking Dead properties suffer from bad writing, slow movement, and cheap production value, and you can try putting the same shit in different cans, but as they showed us in Fear, and Tales ..... until they completely revamp their production teams, and their philosophy to telling stories it's all going to be forgettable garbage.

Hard disagree. The farm with Rick and Shane, the prison, the battle vs the governor and all the way up to Terminus is way better than LoU. It was really good all the way up until they did the whole glen under the dumpster bit. Then the whole reveal of who Negan killed was a joke.

I love season 2.
People routinely complain about any number of seasons but I’ve always looked at it as a patchwork of all the things that go into the drug trade and failed drug war.

She's my favorite part of the show
In comparison, the other storylines are contrived and needlessly drawn out.

Well as the saying goes, you can’t make a Tomlette without cracking a few Gregs.

Shared license in that case. Unless the creator wants to buy back the rights. Creator gets the primary commercial rights, but the public still has derivative rights. Seems like a good middle ground where tax payer money is involved.

I just don't see it happening becouse it would never get approved. Even the Republicans might be turned against it, Comcast would probably be forced to sell almost all of WBD off only to end up with the cable channels minus CNN which they probably don't want. Better chance Comcast buys Netflix or something.

Imagine if Disney decided to scorch earth "their" IPs so a mercenary CEO could get a bigger bonus. SEARS and Toys R Us at least had physical real estate to deal with. All some prick has to decide with IP is that, say, no one gives a shit about Marvel or Starwars anymore.
Pop! Gone. No more comic books, no more Jedis. Anything they get their hands on they burn and throw in the trash.
It's a fucking joke.

I mean if the creators are dead, sure, but the vast majority of these shows being buried and written off for tax purposes are very recent and the creatives are very much alive. They should get the shows back before they enter the public domain.

A lot of things were created by the companies themselves and/or the creators are dead. The reason there should be a public aspect is because it's public money that is back filling the write off. But ya, for things where the rights were bought from individuals or the studios of origin, something should be done to wrap them in.
Saddest fucking thing was the post where the creator of a cartoon found years of work and dozens of episodes just fucking gone all so some bastards could get a discount.

You’re absolutely right, perhaps they’ll just wait and see what happens in the election before making a deal with WBD, only time will tell.

No one really. Especially if Disney leave, Hulu has nothing it would be a service with users but no content.

Yeah I don't see why they would buy Hulu. It's not worth much, they don't own stuff themselves (even Hulu Originals are owned by Disney or Universal). I guess the user base is nice but that can be converted on Disney+

World Beyond, the teen drama/CW styled one ended after two seasons.
Fear I believe is ending this year.
Tales was a miniseries.
So it'll soon just the 3 new spinoffs. Daryl in France, Negan and Maggie in NYC and Rick and Michonne vs the 3 ring settlement (introduced in all the shows so far)
And honestly it's probably a cost saving measure vs keeping these stories and the main show going. Fresh contracts, and the high paying actors all separated now, plus they can run it near year round now if they time it right

> Yeah, I really liked Lincoln’s performance, in particular his interactions with John Bernthal’s character.
That entire opening scene of the series is phenomenal. The pilot was so good, and IMO could even stand alone as a great zombie movie.

It's the one big IP they actually own the TV/Movie rights to and make it all in house.
So it's not too surprising they'll milk it dry.

Yeah, those first few episodes had me hooked. Rick waking up and searching for his family, getting stuck in the tank and having Glenn save his ass, the mall escape, going back for Merle, etc.
So good
