Final Space fans of Tumblr! There's a new campaign going on to save the show! One of the projects written off by Zaslav, Coyote vs. ACME, has been saved by being bought by a distributor! The same can be done for Final Space! Series creator Olan Rogers posted that a Netflix exec expressed interest in the show! Every fan who can watch the series on Netflix, let's get that view count up! And spread the tag #FinalSpaceNetflix to let them know we want them to buy the show! We can do it, Fantrexians!

Idk if I ever said this out loud, but I’m from Maryland (well the DMV) and a chunk of my childhood was spent in the suburbs of Maryland. I remember seeing the cicadas episode of COTC for the first time and it felt like I was going back in time to when I was a kid.

Although my childhood was very different from a lot of kids in the show, I think it’s one of the few shows where I feel like I truly see myself in it. Especially as a black girl and I know that if I was still a kid I would still love it as much as I do now.

So yea…seeing this Warner Bros. situation really fuckin hurts to see.

Like idk how else to put it. It’s just heartbreaking. I hate seeing people lose their jobs, their shows, their fuckin work, for some dudes at the top to make a quick buck. It absolutely enrages me and it’s something I’ve ranted and cried about to my sister. And I’ve seen many people around my age and younger say that they might step away from the animation industry for something more stable. And sometimes I wonder myself if I’m going the right path, and if pursuing the animation industry is worth the risk. And y’know what…I do think it’s worth the risk. Art and more specifically animation is quite frankly the love of my life. It’s helped me get through life in so many ways and I just don’t know where the hell I’d be if I didn’t have it. There’s so much love put into these shows and shorts and movies. From writing to concepts and characters, to sound design and effects, like I love it all, and it’s my dream to be a part of it all, no matter how small the role is. My sister told me that moments like this (where corporations try to fuck over craftsmen and they care more about a product than people) never end well for those mfs, especially in art, because artist won’t take that shit sitting down. And I’d like to think she’s right. That we won’t take this shit sitting down, that whether your a causal viewer or someone who wants to make a career in animation, we’re gonna be like “man fuck this shit you gonna respect me” and actually square up with these companies that think they can just throw ppl away and fuck people over. Animation isn’t nothing, creators aren’t nothing. I know it’s a hard fight to go up against but I don’t think it’s impossible to fight, and it’s something I wanna help fight in. I think the animation industry and the workers involved are worth fighting for and I know I’m definitely not alone in this thought.

I don’t know of any of this makin any sense but honestly I just wanted to speak from the heart.

If you’re reading this and you worked on Craig of the Creek or were a part of the creative teams under Warner Bros. or Netflix or whichever big animation studio (miraculously lol but you never know whos reading i guess) and you were laid off, from the bottom of my fuckin heart, thank you and I’m sorry. Y’all put so much hard work and creativity and love and dedication into the shows you worked on and I have so much respect for y’all for doin what you do. Y’all aren’t nothing, y’all aren’t garbage to be tossed away and you shouldn’t be treated as such. And I know y’all have a big and bright future ahead.

Keep supporting animation

Keep watching and loving animation

Keep fighting for animation

I’m just saying it’s kinda suspicious that HBO max deleted a bunch of loved shows of their platform with no warning to the hardworking creators, cast and crew right before launching the GoT spine off and last of us trailer :/

[themousefromfantasyland]

If I worked on a series that was not only canceled but actively erased from all legal ways of streaming by the network, I would download as many episodes as I could and upload them everywhere, Youtube, Vimeo, Facebook, Twitter, Discord, everywhere.

In the case of Infinity Train, for example, if Discovery went as far as deleting all mentions of it on the official Cartoon Network's social media I doubt they have any plans of releasing it somewhere.

And after all the confusion dials down, I doubt they will be able to properly uphold copyright, especially after they went with all the trouble of erasing the series from all platforms, and there's no legal way ex watch.

Another Scooby-Doo title has been killed mid-production by Warner Discovery at HBO Max (unless it's saved by another distributor)

:(

[galactic-murmaider]

As if WBD didn't commit enough crimes!

And look I don't feel like giving the Velma series more attention since there's better uses of my time, but it's not hard to feel like...

Same goes for the CW Gotham Knights show in relation to Batgirl.

Praise be to the Metal Gods

ONE PROBLEM THOUGH

As many have reported despite the main f🎸ing reason many of us bought this boxset is to have a copy of Doomstar Requiem and it’s not there

One would assume it would be on an extra disc (maybe by seeing if they still have the data from the Australian release if they have it) ,but there’s only eight discs (two per season). Doomstar is nowhere in sight?

Well ummm okay maybe they just retroactively put it in the disc for Season 4B since streaming services like MAX and Hulu retroactively treat it as the real Season 4 finale.

Season 4 Episodes?

Not there!

Season 4 extras?

Not there!

Just in case I even skimmed through the disc via the play all feature and the last episode is indeed “Church of the Black Klok” like it’s supposed to followed by the FBI Warning.

Not that I expected them to do that method because the thing is that this boxset is basically just repackaging the previous DVDs…that were mostly still widely available so what the hell was the point? But still even the Aqua Teen Complete Series had the three seasons that weren’t previously on physical.

And more importantly it was advertised on the back of the goddamn box

So this is either willful false advertising or Warner Discovery made a next level oversight in not checking the contents of the DVDs before sending it out. And honestly…I’m kind of tempted to volunteer myself as tribute to contact them to get to the bottom of this. Because again Doomstar Requiem is the main reason most of us bought this set even with an already complete collection, so people kind of have the right to be pissed off at this albeit my email will probably be a lot more diplomatic of course.

So, let me get this straight...

A huge multimedia company just canceled a project based on one of their biggest IPs that was completely finished, had A-list talent, and cost 60-80 million dollars to produce all to get a tax write-off of...30 million dollars. Now, if that isn't a good way to spend your company's money, I don't know what is.

I swear the Good PR Warner Bros will get of David Zaslav is fired will be more than worth it.

[pedanticat]

I swear. every time it seems like animation is FINALLY starting to be treated with more respect, crap like this happens and I hate it SO much! Earlier this year there was the fiasco with Netflix and now it's this nonsense with Warner Bros Discovery!

Even more Adult Swim games are being removed from sale by Warner Bros, as a total wipeout looks increasingly likely | PC Gamer

I'm not a gamer, but this is further WB (and media in general) horseshit. Fuck this company and this industry. This shit should be illegal.
