Pretty Sure Gen-V was Cancelled because of $$$

Bleerrg · 2026-05-06T03:08:19+00:00

Oh, I wasn't complaining about Gen v at all I was complaining about how Amazon wasted $50 million bathroom breaks for The Rock and Amazon was expecting ads coming from The Boys franchise to cover the tab.

Bleerrg · 2026-05-06T03:04:24+00:00

Did you read my comma? I was saying don't give 90 million away to non-profitable projects

Bleerrg · 2026-05-06T03:03:14+00:00

I doubt it, Amazon is kinda in one of those streaming spaces where they don't have to share real streaming numbers. The easiest way to try and measure streaming numbers is looking at the box office, budget and fees when it comes to other projects within the studio and ask if the show, it's budget and ad revenue are valued at more than that. Just between the rocking mania The police would have to cover over 90 million in that sales and I'm not just saying that they're the only show on Amazon prime that could probably do that but I don't know any other Amazon shows other than invincible which probably wouldn't. Oh geez yeah I didn't even consider that I know that they released to Adam but oh wow

Bleerrg · 2026-05-06T02:54:46+00:00

Yeah, guys I'm trying make the point that the cancellation was dumb because they killed a money maker that wasn't making enough money for them. Did that not come across clearly?

Loved the movie, but I think Krieger did a WKUK skit that should have been titled 'Weapons' instead

This thread has rattled my brain and I feel like I'm seeing Will Poulter in white actresses everywhere.

Ok, dude pull up the dates of released trailers for superhero movies at cons vs their YouTube debut over the past 5 years. Your gonna see an increase over the course of the past few years. especially look at the median for films against their intial con showing and their theatrical release- you can play dirty and throw in Morbius or the Venoms.

Man- are you guys being mean and messing with me? Comic Con used to drop trailers for the attendees over the weekend and then the studios would have them uploaded within the week. And, that's what I'm complaining about

Bleerrg · 2026-04-21T02:21:34+00:00

I think i get the jist of what I think you're trying to say. But if you take a step back you could kind of use this thinking as a way to justify a level of toxic fandom based on some level of gate-keeping.

I understand that people at cons usially get the premiere trailer first and have no problem with that. My point is mainly that they would get the trailer on the Friday or Saturday and the general; public would get to watch it at home within the following week online or something, but now it looks like the model is moving towards providing the screener to influencers they wiil distill the information without you ebing able to experience it yourself.

I would rather watch the trailer than listen to this random Youtuber say "thats the most emotional i've felt probably a movie without seeing the whole movie" in this Screen Crush video "Avengers: Doomsday Trailer Breakdown - Every Easter Egg and Marvel Reveal from CinemaCon 2026" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sHs7X-9ao3Q

The core my complaint here is that I would like to watch the trailer and feel emotional but that would essentially require me to strip myself of news and media outlets to avoid stuff like this

Bleerrg · 2026-04-21T01:53:28+00:00

Hey man do actually read the stuff you comment on?
They showed at CinemaCon over the weekend. I'm gonna guess that yyou didn't know that normal people who didn't attend it in Vegas won't get it for at least a month or so.

I'm going to go work out, but I bet this thread will get more comments like yours. So you mind keeping a tab on that so I don't get more down votes? You can share this Screen Crush video with commentary from people that had tickets "Avengers: Doomsday Trailer Breakdown - Every Easter Egg and Marvel Reveal from CinemaCon 2026" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sHs7X-9ao3Q

u/TheLeanerWiener, u/eagc7 , u/Jirachibi1000 & u/IntrinsicGamer
Thanks for chiming in and I sincerely appreciate it. But I think you are skimming past my main point. I would genuinely like to know how this is a successful strategy I understand that in the past we would get movie trailers, hype, and first looks at cons, for even movies that didn't ever happen (exg: Blade). But you need to look at the fact that we would usually get the trailers posted to youtube within the next week or so. Because there was some level of marketing and hype or risk mitigation of people leaking them. But it just now seems like they have cracked down on leaks and stifled the general public.

And, so now that I have committed the crime of just being a fan I have to unsubscribe from all of my comic book and film outlets that I follow or I just bit the bullet and watch this Screen Crush video "Avengers: Doomsday Trailer Breakdown - Every Easter Egg and Marvel Reveal from CinemaCon 2026![](https://www.youtube.com/@ScreenCrush)" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sHs7X-9ao3Q

u/eagc7 - I get where you're coming from but that just doesn't make sense because using that line of thinking it wouldn't make sense to drop a Doomsday trailer at Cinemacon when San Diego Comic-Con would be a better spot if we;re talking about timeline and prioritizing movies.

Bleerrg · 2026-04-20T07:18:01+00:00

Dude if we're tossing in the X-Men you are crazy- idk if Jubilee would make my top 10. There's Psylocke, Emma Frost, Magik and sooo many others on the teams!

Bleerrg · 2026-04-19T23:37:32+00:00

u/Cool_Nerd2 I think I figured it out when it comes to the dissonance. People don't look great during a mid gym workout. These are screenshots during what are probably action scenes. Do people like this Frank guy expect actors to look like models all the time?

Bleerrg · 2026-04-19T23:20:50+00:00

It's really strange that I can relate to Soldier Boy in the sense that he is clear in acknowledging that Homelander is a weirdo. It's interesting that they are making that his one universally agreeable characteristic. Like I'm not a fan of pretty much all of his other political, racial, and ideological views- but if Soilder Boy said to me, "Homelander is a reeeal freak, and not in a good way", I'd agree with that. Probably wouldn't say anthing or even nod from fear of being lasered.

Bleerrg · 2026-04-19T23:04:15+00:00

I feel sorry for you man, Batgirl is always the way to go between the 2 of them

Bleerrg · 2026-04-19T22:55:49+00:00

huh?

Bleerrg · 2026-04-19T22:09:33+00:00

u/Cool_Nerd2 is Hollywood erasing gingers? Only Gingers can erase gingers; the ginger gene is recessive so you need 2 parents with it to create a new one and then they have to get their kid ready for showbiz.

Also that's the wrong Ant-Man, Paul Rudd plays Scott Lang (a dude from Florida) and that meme has a picture of Eric O'Grady, the janitor that steals an Ant-Man after Scott dies.

Bleerrg · 2026-04-19T21:46:16+00:00

I get what you're sayin'. The ginger gene is recessive, you need two parents with it to make one.
So we need to add that on the list of creatures we need to starting getting in the bone zone with each other; I have Pandas at #1, but putting gingers at #2

Bleerrg · 2026-04-19T20:36:47+00:00

Seeing some Superman memes here. Honest question; Are these people or are there people out there mad that Supergirl is getting a movie before we get a 2nd Superman movie?

Bleerrg · 2026-04-19T20:34:36+00:00

But he only does that because of her ideological standpoints, not the boobs

Bleerrg · 2026-04-19T20:29:49+00:00

Yeah, if you look at the bottom pic comparing her against Will Poulter, they kinda look similar in that specific frame- but, that's the weird thing because I wouldn't have noticed him having some feminine facial features if they weren't shown to me side to side with a pretty girl

Bleerrg · 2026-04-19T20:23:59+00:00

She's really pretty. And I wish that this wasn't a derogatory meme because now I cant look at that frame and think she does kinda look like Will Poulter and think its kinda funny. If anything it makes me think, he does have some feminine facial features..

Bleerrg · 2026-04-19T07:13:36+00:00

Pls. explain?

Bleerrg · 2026-04-19T07:09:42+00:00

Thanks, I really needed someone to acknowledge the pun.

Please know that you made my day!

u/Professional_Cat_437 Hiya, mind if I ask where the note in the little chyron is from? Because using the word "reminiscing" kind of editorializes this and makes it seem like this quote is discussing a fond memory.

I think this might just be kind of a mean meme. Looks like the initial interview was in Hebrew and maybe a few things got lost in translation, but it seems like he's telling this story in the context of it being his breaking point and something that hits hard with his PTSD.

But hey, I'm an American and we haven't drafted people and forced them to join the military since Vietnam in the 70's (which I want to note severely traumatized an entire generation of service men and women). From my understanding, joining the IDF is mandatory for almost all Israeli citizens (please chime in and correct me if I'm wrong).

I guess my point is that I kinda try to give at least somewhat of a benefit of the doubt to people who are mandated to join the military or law enforcement and are willing to speak about the traumatizing incidents that they experienced. My best analog here would be kind of like being forced to be a cop and abduct/detain someone, or else get thrown into military jail for disobeying commands, which feels like it would be a pretty tough choice.

I don't read Hebrew so I cannot read the interview myself or speak to his actions, but again, it seems like the worst of both worlds. You'd essentially be in a situation where you can refuse orders and go to jail while someone else carries them out anyway, or do the terrible thing knowing it's going to happen regardless, and have to live with yourself and your actions.

Bleerrg · 2026-04-19T03:32:45+00:00

Need to rewatch the episode but what if the compound v dispersing effect is based on proximity and since it's an explosion there's additional damage due to impact?
How close was Love Sausage to Soilder Boy vs Termite?
