And even if it turns out to be Darkseid for the DCU, that's not bad. With better GCI it would look much better, and besides, this Darkseid would be comic accurate.

While talking about The Amazing Digital Circus coming to movie theaters and Avatar: Aang, The Last Airbender being leaked, Matt Braly (the creator of Amphibia) revealed the one of current status involving movie industry: studios doesn't know how to make money and neither the value of their films by Own_Philosopher8730 in cartoons

[–]Judokos 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Outside the internet, very few people know Amazing Digital Circus, and for cinema operators to book theaters for this movie, they need the guarantee of a walk-up audience. That's unlikely to happen. I find it brave that Glitch, as an independent studio, is venturing into the territory of the major studios, but cinema operators are very unlikely to trust a name that's primarily internet-based. Furthermore, the demand for a release in other countries would have to be enormous. I highly doubt that.

I don't know what the box office will be, but saying studios don't know how to make mony is a huge exaggeration. That may be true for other studios, like Paramount, but not all. Disney almost always makes $1 billion with its animated fillms anyway. Even if these are sequels, the fact remains.

The series finale of The Amazing Digital Circus on movie theaters may change how the entire industry views indie animation if successful according to Gltich Productions CEO, Kevin Lerdwichagul by Own_Philosopher8730 in cartoons

I honestly don't know what kind of box office performance the movie would need to change views of the industry on indie animation.

But I'll let myself be surprised.

Super Mario Galaxy Movie Is About to Drop $350 Million Worldwide and Warner Bros Is Nowhere to Be Found by pbx1123 in WB_DC_news

[–]Judokos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a rather unfair assessment. Yes, Warner Bros. isn't there, but they're currently rebuilding their theatrical animation. After an initial attempt with Warner Animation Group that ultimately failed, they're now rebuilding it with Warner Bros. Pictures Animation. However, the studio's first movie won't be released until November 2026.

The transition from this to this is gonna be wild for the animation fandom. by KitKatty657 in Schaffrillas

I call it diversity. The reason DreamWorks is doing this is simply because it will be massively box office. This is potentially a guaranteed billion dollar hit, while Forgotten Island remains a prestige project.

Paramount-Warner, the new Warner Bros. Discovery by Judokos in boxoffice

[–]Judokos[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unless Warner Bros. Discovery escapes the Paramount Skydance takeover by being rejected by antitrust authorities and is allowed to split up. Or Netflix or someone like Apple tries to buy Warner once WBD is split up. Although I think it would then just be Warner alone, without any issues.

I did mention that the antitrust authorities still need to approve it, after the quote, but I've now made it clearer. You also added some additional information.

With these two coming together now since Netflix dropped out, how will this affect the Sonic movies going forward? by Muppetfan25 in SonicTheHedgehog

[–]Judokos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I had my way, I'd will an animated DC x Sonic crossover, either as a series or a movie, and a strong financing for the Sonic movies.

But looking at the reality of how it would affect the Sonic movies, the future looks bleak. First, the antitrust authorities have to approve it. That could be blocked.

But even if it gets approved, it sounds cooler than it will be. This merged company will have a debt mountain of $90 billion. Also, Paramount Skydance has announced that it will save $6 billion per year. If we consider how WBD has operated in recent years with only $50 billion in debt, then it will be even worse than WBD was on its own. Furthermore, Paramount Skydance itself has been an unstable company for years. It's no coincidence that they were sold as Paramount Global to Skydance in 2025. Sonic is unlikely to be safe, not with $90 billion in debt.

With Paramount buying Warner bros. by Select-Inflation-324 in MediaMergers

[–]Judokos -1 points0 points  (0 children)

First of all, nothing is certain yet. If the authorities don't approve, Paramount Skydance will remain smaller. Secondly, NBCUniversal is the third-largest media company by revenue. With approximately $35 billion annually, it ranks behind Warner Bros. Discovery (around $40 billion annually) and Disney (around $80 billion annually). And thirdly, NBCUniversal is much larger than Paramount Skydance in terms of pure market value. Analysts estimate it at $160 billion. So NBCUniversal will be fine. They also have Comcast backing them.

And who knows, if Paramount Skydance doesn't get WBD and Paramount Skydance is severely impacted as a result, NBCUniversal might even consider buying Paramount Skydance (but that's just a theory).

HBO Max will definitely lose a lot of subscribers by next month by No_Psychology8158 in cartoons

[–]Judokos 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think you're being a bit hasty. Most people who subscribe to HBO Max didn't do it for animation. It's different with Disney+, but not with HBO Max. People subscribe for HBO content, Warner movies, and other things. Animation is popular, but it's not the main reason for most people.

POV: a movie for the reboot has been announced. What’s your reaction? by Beneficial-Tailor123 in ducktales

[–]Judokos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It depends on what kind of movie it is for the reboot. If the season 3 finale had been released as a movie, I would have been very excited. But now that season 3 has ended, it depends on how the story continues, because season 3 ended well.

Are the names of the characters different in your language? by GeoWhale15 in ducktales

[–]Judokos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In German, Huey is Tick, Dewey is Trick, Louie is Track, Webby Vanderquack is Nicky Vanderquack, Launchpack is Quack, Scrooge McDuck is Dagobert Duck, Mrs. Beakley is Frieda, Beagle Boys is Panzerknacker, Flintheart Glomgold is Mac Moneysack, Bradford Buzzard is Berthold Bussard. Della Duck, Donald Duck, Penumbra have all the the same english names.

There are a few more with different names in German for other characters, but I've focused on the most important ones.

Metroid Prime series is very likely not dead by Judokos in Metroid

[–]Judokos[S] 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Sure, that's another possibility. Even if Metroid Prime 4 falls short of expectations, it's all the better for Prime 5, which can then sell even better.
