David Zaslav removes Shenmue & Blade Runner from anime streaming, cancels Shenmue season 2, continues to be a piece of shit

AAHHHHHHHHHHGGGGHH I HATE THIS MOTHERFUCKER SO FUCKING MUCH

David Zaslav, the former head of Discovery who is now in charge of the merged Warner Bros. Discovery — and whom I’ve previously ranted about at length — is continuing to do his best to destroy art, make creators’ works inaccessible, end all joy and hope, and basically be a massive fucking sack of severed dicks. 

LET”S RUN DOWN ALL OF HIS CRIMES SO FAR!

Fuck this shitheel.

1) David Zaslav’s tenure at Discovery is widely despised by employees. He insisted on moving operations out of the former HQ in Silver Spring MD — which has been devastating to that town’s economy — to instead focus on LA and New York City, where he prefers to be. He started a big corporate budget centered on purchasing trendy clothing for the C-suite so that they can “look cool.” He’s laid off tons of staff. He has a reputation for being an authoritarian CEO who regularly makes unilateral decisions without bothering to value anyone else’s opinion.

2) Upon taking over Warner Bros Discovery, his first act was to demote or remove all female and black department heads at Warner Bros. He replaced them all with white men from Discovery. He said they needed to focus on “the best person for the job” instead of “forced diversity.” ........ Uh-HUH. Right. Sure.

3) He then shitcanned two movies that were already filmed and nearly complete (and which had already cost $130 million dollars in development/creation, which is now just being thrown in a TOILET) AND were already testing either “good” or “EXTREMELY good” in screenings because he personally didn’t like them (reminder: no one else’s opinion matters) and doesn’t believe movies should be made for streaming, which these were. He wants HBO Max to stop having its own content (and to heavily move towards hosting reality TV-based content like Discovery). This was also supposedly done to get a tax write-off of $10 million by not releasing these films, although every single tax lawyer and IRS agent who’s been interviewed agrees that doesn’t make one lick of sense. 

4) This was all part of his supposed effort to reduce the company’s budget by billions. To that same end, he ended countless deals that allowed HBO Max to host tons of shows, including original works that were exclusive to the service and now exist nowhere, in any form. This was done without warning in most cases. Just loads of movies and animated shows erased from existence because he didn’t want to pay the fraction-of-a-percent licensing fee. Many of the creators - writers, producers, directors, other talent - have been posting in tears to various social media, pleading for whatever copies people have made illegally or for Warner Discovery to provide them with SOME copy of their work, because otherwise IT’S ALL JUST. FUCKING. GONE.

And now, his latest shitty action...

5)  He stopped all funding to Adult Swim (Warner Bros. owns Cartoon Network and Adult Swim) for original anime productions, INCLUDING cutting off their licenses to continue hosting those productions online. This means that the English dubs of SHENMUE: The Animation and Blade Runner: Black Lotus no longer exist online (....legally). More importantly, apparently SHENMUE: The Animation performed well enough that they were intending to fund a second season based on Shenmue III... which is now not going to happen, because Zaslav has stripped away all that funding. 

This is exactly how I feel about David Zaslav. ... OK, not the part about his family dying.

God, and I love Shenmue and adored the anime adaption. I would’ve loved to see more of it. I would’ve loved to see so much of this content that is now gone some day. I heard such wonderful things about Infinity Train. Batgirl was looking killer and Brendan Fraser was particularly getting a lot of praise for how he played one of my favorite lesser-known Batman villains. And it’s all just... gone. People are losing their jobs, losing years of work, and millions of dollars being flushed away... just, what the FUCK.

For some reason, Shenmue got an anime before the most anime non-anime game series ever, the Like a Dragon/Yakuza series, got an anime.

I have only just now found that out.

Plus, I recently discovered a sequel to Kamen Rider W was released to the west, and Kamen Rider W itself is still not available in the west. So that's fun.

That’s a great list I just wanna give some honorable mentions. Yor from Spy x Family is amazing. Desumi from Love after world dominations is the cutest villain you’ve ever seen. Xiuying from Shenmue is still the best sensei. Catwoman from her movie Catwoman Hunted is just wow. Hinatsuru, Makio, and Suma from Demon Slayer be killing it. Ichika, Nino, Miku, Yotsuba, and Itsuki from The Quintessential Quintuplets are the best sisters. Marin Kitagawa from My dress up darling is the best.😍😍😍

Those are some great ones too and oh boy; how could I forget Xiuying?

I guess WBD wanted me to forget.

Speaking of, this also is another reminder that I still need to check out Catwoman: Hunted while HBO Max is still a thing. Hell, I need to go through a lot of that DC Animated catalogue before it's gone.
