Swamp Thing | Full Trailer | DC Universe | The Ultimate Membership

I feel certain in saying that, with Netflix loss of the Disney/Marvel material, Netflix would be happy to negotiate with DC … it would be a Win / Win …

The continued fragmentation of the Streaming Market is not a sustainable model, IMO … although Disney / Marvel will succeed, the other, smaller start ups are going to have a rough go …

I also work in film. If it’s a really elaborate set up like say STAR TREK you’re finding/signing a massive 10 year deal on a super studio and really settling in… SWAMP THING? I’m sorry @agentpoyo one can move a swamp/studio BETWEEN seasons of production. Don’t forget how much green screen/CGI is involved with modern production techniques… We’re not moving FRAGGLE ROCK and all the Muppets back in 1984 anymore… I do agree with your wife though, the paperwork, permits, locations, etc would be a nightmare absolutely… It could not be done mid production, but def during wrap between seasons…

I’m obviously reading too far into this, it does seem to simply be a budget issue… Strange turn of events as a consumer, I felt they had a winner here… Obviously they do not. Thanks for all your knowledge/info great discussion guys… :+1:

Well, sure, anything can move. They probably looked at the overall costs and realized it’s not worth moving, so it’s just easier to shutdown.

Maybe they plan to bring back later. Who knows until it happens…

Agreed. There was no need to move it because there was no intention of producing a second season. Shorten your first season from 13 to 10 episodes, cut your losses and run… :100: correct @agentpoyo

I hope it gets revisited at a later time as well but I’m not confident we will see that happen… Time will tell. Such a beautiful misunderstood character, too bad… Be well bud. Thx everybody…

Surprisingly I hadn’t even watched the trailer until I saw the canceled news, came here, posted and then watched the trailer. I don’t watch much TV but I was onboard… it does suck it was canceled before it even started. Stupid North Carolina… oh wait, that’s my home state… Stupid North Carolina legislature… :stuck_out_tongue:

I’m located in Toronto Canada and the film industry has been a blessing to me… I’m not sure what the provincial film grants are exactly but I can say first hand the amount of money generated from a film production is unreal. The spinoff from hotels, restaurants, permits, city exposure, flights, etc is truly immeasurable. The amount of employment generated is well worth the price of admission of the grant IMO… I’m sure your wife has more knowledge in these areas, as I’m not an accountant or politician… I have never been to NORTH CAROLINA but I’ve heard excellent things about your beautiful state. One day… :v:

Oh, North Carolina is the motherland but I’m now in Texas. :slight_smile:

Awesome. I’ve been to Texas several times when I used to drill on oil rigs a lifetime ago… Had a great time every visit… “All my exes live in Texas…” :notes:

Odd… Just saw a commercial for Swamp Thing on AMC…

AMC? Does that mean it’s already been leased outside of the DC streaming service? That is odd. This could be more along the lines of what @Uncle_Willie was commenting earlier… The plot thickens… :thinking:

AMC would be a good fit … I still think DC needs to sit down at the table with Netflix …

Not for AMC but on AMC. It was a commercial that was promoting the streaming show for DC Universe that’s on Roku, etc.

Probably an already paid for ad they just haven’t removed yet. It just find it odd I haven’t seen any commercials for it until after I’ve read the news that it’s canceled.

Yeah, if they make better looking shows like Swamp Thing, could be successful. For the strange shows that don’t fit on the CW (like Swamp Thing), Netflix could expand their viewer base for their characters.

Oh gotcha, I misunderstood… :+1:

Heh, sorry, I guess one could read that wrong in how I said it. I guess it’s like those Memorial Day sales that are aired days after Memoral Day is already over. They paid for the slots, might as well let them continue to air. :slight_smile:

No worries man. Makes sense, it’s all good publicity/exposure for the series either way. Even all this chatter is good for the character I suppose…

Yeah, I enjoyed pretty much all the MCU material on Netflix, which was produced without the constraints of Network TV … Punisher, Jessica Jones, etc … I was sad when Disney pulled the plug … I’d love to see a Netflix treatment of ::

100 Bullets / Brian Azzarello / Eduardo Risso
Transmetropolitan / Warren Ellis / Darick Robertson
The Invisibles / Grant Morrison
Y: The Last Man / Brian K. Vaughan / Pia Guerra

and most especially Fables / Bill Willingham

I could name more, but these are my top five … :vulcan_salute:

I don’t understand why it costs so much to make Swampthing. They could of made it in my back yard for free I would even write it for free.
