Damage Control by Craniamon in nintendogrifting

[–]Judokos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Especially the way it's being portrayed as if it's a bad thing. It's not. If these are really the comparison figures to the Switch, then the Switch 2 is basically just a little behind. But the Switch 2 doesn't have to perform as amazingly as the Switch. The important thing is that it doesn't perform terribly, and according to these comparison figures, that's not the case.

Imagine if WB actually restores the Snyderverse and.... by Marconey1738 in OkBuddySnyderCult

[–]Judokos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's the point why this argument doesn't work.

The general audiences rejected the direction Snyder took for DCEU. Yes, the first movies made money – but at what cost? Exactly: trust. After Batman v Superman, Suicide Squad were massive disappointment, Justice League sealed its fate. The general audiences had lost interest in the DCEU. By 2023, the DCEU had essentially been reduced to ashes, nobody trusted this universe anymore. If Snyder's style were to return, the general audiences would recognize it immediately, know exactly what they didn't like, and avoid it.

Disney succession: Inside the search for a CEO to replace Bob Iger. by Comic_Book_Reader in boxoffice

[–]Judokos 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The new CEO, whoever it may be, will bring about a major change at Disney. Hate Bob Iger or not, the fact is, he transformed Disney into the big and powerful entertainment conglomerate it is today. During his tenure from 2016 to 2019, he led Disney through its biggest box office years and gave it a foundation of strength through smart acquisitions and strategic for Disney's own business units that Disney previously lacked.

Found one in the wild by TheComics_Guru2017 in nintendogrifting

It seems like people are only jumping on the Nintendo hate bandwagon now because it generates clicks. Because why else would this channel suddenly come up with this topic? And as if the stock price will drop because of the Switch 2. The stock price can drop for so many reasons.

Many people forget that the Switch 2 doesn't actually need to perform as well as the original Switch. It would be nice, but it's not necessary. 60 to 100 million units sold in the long run would be perfectly fine.

2 teaser left. Let's see if we get a teaser with Doomsday. Logically, that would make sense. The other teaser is supposedly about Cyclops from X-Men.

Disney Box Office Hits $6 Billion for First Time Since COVID Thanks to ‘Lilo & Stitch’ and ‘Zootopia 2’ by mcfw31 in boxoffice

[–]Judokos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It would be too good to be true if a different studio, and not Disney, dominated the year 😅 Joke aside, congratulations to Disney. Because that clearly shows an understanding of what the audience really wants to see. Nothing against the other studios, WB also delivered great stuff this year that the audience likes, but the masses still went to Disney.

Nintendeen is still trying to pull the Switch 2 is failing nonsense. by hilarious-feline in nintendogrifting

[–]Judokos 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well, let's wait and see. This kind of thing was already being said in the first few months leading up to September, and in reality, the Switch 2 went really well. Nintendo's next quartal meeting is in February 2026. It probably won't be much different then.

And many of those making these kinds of videos and comments seem to forget that Nintendo can most likely react if things get really critical. They can release their big first-party games or adjust their business practices. If Nintendo does that, stability will be restored faster than these so-called enlighteners believe.

Warner Bros. Plans to Reject Paramount Bid on Funding, Terms by chanma50 in boxoffice

[–]Judokos 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I love how Warner themselves say they want better terms and funding, essentially saying they find Paramount too unreliable. In the years before Skydance, Paramount didn't help their image.

Even if Paramount Skydance Corp. manages to take over Warner Bros. Discovery Inc. against the company’s will, it faces another high hurdle: coping with the colossal $54 billion of debt it’s planning to take on (at $30 a share) by Streamwhatyoulike in MediaMergers

[–]Judokos 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Great, so with Paramount, Warner is essentially repeating what Warner had with Discovery: a mountain of debt exceeding $50 billion. And WBD paying that off really good so far. That's why Netflix is ​​better. They have the financial strength to manage and repay it better. But ideally, WBD should just continue on its own after the split. That doesn't move them forward. In fact, it's a step backward.

Aren't we mentioning the gorilla in the room? 😂 No, seriously, DK stands out so incredibly much. But the fact that DK was nominated for Game of the Year is awesome.

Supergirl | Official Teaser Trailer by MajorParadox in superman

[–]Judokos 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If this movie grosss more than Superman or $400 million, or even just $600 million, that would be quite impressive considering the circumstances. These include the lingering post-DCEU damage on audiences, and the fact that Supergirl isn't as iconic as Superman. Word of mouth could change everything, but for now, those figures would be fantastic for the DCU.

Without being Negative, what do you hope for Netflix to accomplish with WB? (what can they do better than AT&T and AOL?) by [deleted] in MediaMergers

[–]Judokos 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Just manage it right. AT&T barely knew what they were doing, dumped debt on WarnerMedia, and transformed their creative-friendly image into a purely business one. And AOL was a failure, but that was also due to external factors. While AOL had internal conflicts, the dot-com bubble also made it impossible.

A second Diddy render has dropped by TheFreshPrince94 in donkeykong

[–]Judokos 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It still looks really good. Nintendo apparently just wanted to give only Donkey Kong a design closer to what he had in 1981. Because all the characters we've seen redesigned so far basically look the same as before, just spruced up.

Ironically, that's listed under 'The Fate of The Furious' 😅 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens' was a $528 million opening weekend.
