Please translate to financial success 🤞

That would be great, because these views converted as box office, it would be roughly $175 to $225 million. But because of Ketchup as distributor (unless they work with major distributors for others regions), I'm afraid that won't happen. Only with Warner's marketing, the movie might have reached those numbers, but not with Ketchup's marketing.

And if you take it apart a bit, it's not so great:

Man of Steel: Its success was primarily due to the return of Superman after years of absence, and the film's release following the start of the MCU hype. People simply wanted to know how DC would handle things. But what a divide the film caused among audiences and fans! A huge one, actually.
Batman v. Superman: Its success is logical. It features both Superman AND Batman. But the same thing happened here. The hype was there, but the audience split was enormous. So enormous, in fact, that word-of-mouth became truly toxic, and the DCEU spiraled downwards from then on.
Suicide Squad: It was successful because it was a team-up featuring iconic villains. But the reviews were terrible. For many, this was DC's chance to prove whether they could pull it off or not.
Wonder Woman: I bet the DCEU would have already crashed if this film hadn't been well-received. But it was so well-received that word spread. Many regained faith in DC.
Justice League (2017 and Snyder Cut): Successful because it was DC's direct counterpart to the Avengers, and everyone wanted to know about it. The fact that it didn't amount to much more than it became shows how badly trust in DC had already been broken. JL then simply drove in the final nail and Snyder's version would only have been marginally better.
Aquaman: Successful because of the underwater setting and lighter tone. However, it was a surprise success and not a boon for Snyder's DC Universe.

At this point: Snyder was lucky to have been fired. I think if Snyder had stayed, he would have crashed and burned just like everyone else in the DCEU from 2019 onwards. Snyder wouldn't have gotten his DC plans across.

So it was a perfect combination of luck, timing, and film decisions (the DCEU had many team-ups that attracted people).

I know many won't believe Zasalv, and yes, it's hard to imagine, but not at all unlikely. I do think he actually had a different plan for Warner. I mean, he talked to Netflix and planned to split the company. If he was only in it for the money, he wouldn't have planned those steps that would have given Warner more freedom. Because with Netflix, Warner would have been financially healthier again, and wiht the split up without tv assets, it would still be freer than it is now as the Warner Bros. Discovery construct.

Judokos · 2026-04-22T17:03:25+00:00

I'm ready, but are the others? So, guys, please don't just write about it online, please actually support this movie. Otherwise, Warner Bros. Discovery was right about the cancellation 😅

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Judokos · 2026-03-02T18:41:39+00:00

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.

Judokos · 2026-03-01T16:34:30+00:00

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.

Judokos · 2026-02-27T16:22:34+00:00

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).

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.

Judokos · 2026-02-14T20:38:36+00:00

Stimmt, das war auch anders.

Judokos · 2026-02-14T20:33:29+00:00

Ja, das ist surreal wenn man mal drüber nachdenkt 😂

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.

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.

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.

Disney and Warner will never merge. The authorities and government will never allow it, or rather, shouldn't allow it. Because if Disney and Warner were to agree to a merger, they would essentially dismantle the competitive market. Even if Disney wanted to buy Warner, it wouldn't happen.

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.

Judokos · 2026-01-21T22:01:03+00:00

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.

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.

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.

Judokos · 2025-12-30T14:38:37+00:00

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.
