Reply to comment by acewavelink in ‘Our Flag Means Death’ Season 2 Wraps Filming by MarvelsGrantMan136

When Discovery purchased WB it was with the clause they wouldn't know the amount of debt they owed. Turns out it was a lot, so they’ve been cancelling all these shows and deleting properties as a way to make this quarter look like they cut a ton of debt off.

While I understand that aspect of it, and weirdly cancelling Batgirl thinking they will recoup more money now by not releasing it and having a write-off. Its shit like Minx wrapped filmed its second season, just to have it cancelled right after. Its the out of nowhere cancelations months after the buyout, after spending all that money on it, that is a bit puzzling and turning this into a joke.

As an animator I am simply horrified by the amount of man hours that were removed from the culture. millions, if not billions of hours of work from thousands of people just... gone... shows that were already FINISHED were removed from the app for no reason except it somehow affects their bottom line.

I'm no highly educated businessman, but this seems kinda obvious though.
