So we've been talking about this in a couple of forums where we sort of were staring at the landscape and sort of saying, hey, kind of looks like they're taking everything off the board that's not already done, namely Vision Quest and Born Again Season 3.
Then there was sort of this report of like, well, they're holding two spots for specials next year, individual characters, which still may be true.
Then there was a report that said, no, there's actually still multiple projects in development.

It's too hard.
They don't want to figure it out.

at that possible connection because they again they just didn't know how to do it they didn't do it right brian let's just call it what it is

You can have connectedness, but you can't realistically expect a non comic book fan or viewer to watch 15 things before they have to watch this other thing you want them to pay for.
I looked at that list.
I was like, ain't nobody got time for this, Brian.
And that perception is powerful, right? Because people look at that list, their eyes glaze over and they're like, what else can I watch? Yeah.
