Good thing they’re raising prices again!

    They ruined my favorite show on Netflix by taking out Henry Cavil. So when they stopped account sharing I decided to not get an account and just stick with Hulu.

    Might get rid of all the TV’s out of the house anyway. Screw em all.

        That is a grey area for me, mostly because of the statements made by the showrunners after his departure. When someone leaves a project they love dearly and promoted heavily and personally drove from the fan side of things, it makes me wonder whether it was an actual leaving or if they paid him handsomely to say he’s leaving and to not badmouth the show in XYZ words or format.

          That is possible, but that’s also the type of person that would be most likely to leave a project because of creative differences.

          Plus saying the writers were butchering the story isn’t exactly a way for him to exit without making the show look bad. For hardcore fans, that’s a sign that it might be better to just skip it or wait for reviews or pirate it specifically to avoid giving the makers money.

            I mean, Hollywood is also built this way. People who shit on their productions have a harder time finding work. It’s pretty difficult to find someone who overtly shits on a project, especially one that’s come out in the last decade.

      It’s the second time Henry Cavil has been perfectly cast for what was supposed to be a long running role and he didn’t stick around. You’ve got to wonder if these people just don’t understand what they have. And with Superman they literally just didn’t offer the role again when they decided to reboot the movies (yet again).

          …close second 😉

          Them ditching Cavill is a fucking shame. Of course, probably never really writing him a good movie is the bigger shame.
