I bet we could've easily had a second season of Scavenger's Reign without all this nonsense.

sarcasmorator.bsky.social•18 days ago

Just round it down to "animation losses" and that's already more than enough to be an incredible waste

andhewolf.bsky.social•18 days ago

could have funded 100 seasons of "taxi cab confessions" with just the background color change fees alone.

hurbcherpley.bsky.social•18 days ago

They could've made Scavenger's Reign season 2, that's for sure.

bridgealidget.bsky.social•18 days ago

4 more seasons of Carnivale with as much original cast as possible, Twin Peaks style/

thatkid.bsky.social•18 days ago

Probably like 7. Maybe even 8.

fresh12.bsky.social•18 days ago

The two episodes of House of the Dragon season two that were chopped off?

ericplais.bsky.social•18 days ago

this was almost as dumb as Twitter rebranding to X

A small nations annual income.

They couldve afforded to market The Day The Earth Blew Up better, instead of forcing Ketchup to do it with the little amount of money they had

truther-dare.bsky.social•18 days ago

Imagine what Nathan Fielder could do with all that money?

rjharris816.bsky.social•18 days ago

It’s a floor wax and a dessert topping you cow

windupangelwings.bsky.social•18 days ago

the rest of infinity train, probably twice

Mr. Show: the Next Generation

thespoony.bsky.social•18 days ago

I want to say that at least it kept some designers employed but I’m pretty sure they’ve embraced AI for that kind of thing.

elove.bsky.social•18 days ago

324 shows

firewordsparkler.bsky.social•18 days ago

the cancellation of Our Flag Means Death in the middle of the merger process was awful

prolezone.bsky.social•18 days ago

Mid 8 figures eaaaasy

pushpins.bsky.social•18 days ago

They should have given the money to Nathan Fielder

tomleykis.bsky.social•18 days ago

How else would we get such premium programming as "Dr. Pimple Popper?"

dhaise.bsky.social•18 days ago

In the beginning, I was fine with some (stuff like auto-greenlighting 70m for a wonder twins movie needed to stop) big changes. But this mothballing stuff for the write offs while shuttering old content is gross. Warrior could have had a fourth season!

haydnpuff.bsky.social•18 days ago

Between 50-90 seasons of Deadwood

emmaapple.bsky.social•17 days ago

Maybe they could have actually done a good ending for Winning Time

huckstergon.bsky.social•18 days ago

Stealing Mindhunter from Netflix.
The Wire reboot.
Dune: Prophecy, but not made by and for people with traumatic brain injuries.

mikepipper.bsky.social•18 days ago

Could have another season of Scavenger's Reign by now.

kiddocut.bsky.social•18 days ago

Doom patrol could of had a full final season instead of being cut in half and rushed 😞

kiddocut.bsky.social•18 days ago

(No hate on the ending we *did* get, they stuck an impossible landing, but I still think there was a lot of lose threads)

hesster56.bsky.social•18 days ago

Probably could have afforded to release Batgirl.

dhaise.bsky.social•18 days ago

or that Coyote vs ACME

angryoldgeek.bsky.social•18 days ago

I came here to say this.

lonestartallboi.bsky.social•18 days ago

Turning Righteous Gemstones into a 24 episode season and giving it ten more seasons.

Approximately 100 Raised By Wolveses

boozencomics.bsky.social•18 days ago

At least 5 entire Cartoon Networks

munocard.bsky.social•18 days ago

They could afford to bring back Venture Bros for sure

janeofvictory.bsky.social•18 days ago

Ah, the New Coke lives.

markpopham.bsky.social•18 days ago

they made people DOWNLOAD A NEW APP!!!!

unforgivable

A documentary that isn't true crime

zerazukin.bsky.social•18 days ago

They finished a Batman animated feature via WB and released it on amazn prime in stead

They decided to cancel scavengers reign and then sent their first season off to Netflix where it's still only available to watch in north America
