I'm looking forward to it. I hope it doesn't suck, because then you're going to have a bunch of analyst dipshits and WB execs acting like they were right to put it on the shelf.

It’s another pumped out semi life action slop from WB. Not making it at all would have been better. Idk what people are actually expecting from it getting released now.

Probably will do exactly what you said and will just make those executive shithead giggle.

I mean, if you work on something, even if it's shit, you still want to share it with the world. The idea that the movie is complete and they just weren't going to release it is understandably upsetting for the people who made it. The actors, the writers, the animators, that one elevated extra who can apply for a SAG card because they got a line in the movie, seeing it on screens is a big deal for those people.

I'm giving it the benefit of doubt.

But with this sale it's already made them more money than shelving it would have

If anything it should tell execs "hey guys we can sell our garbage for a profit"

So we get the tax breaks paid back right?
