Zack Snyder's Justice League

[tjmackey]

Which is why when the head of WB says that the SynderVerse is dead, it's not their call anymore. If AT&T can see money in the SynderVerse, you can bet they will invest in it.

I honestly don't know why people are saying "It's just a conspiracy theory" when it's just an old business way of trying to get residual income.

Is this in support of the idea that WB conspired to moderately sabotage some 3rd party streaming viewership numbers of SNYDERCUT to get out of the SNYDERVERSE business?

In the context of the craven human pettiness of corporate infighting and regime changes, it's not COMPLETELY out of the question.  But it just doesn't pass my personal smell test yet.

And this is despite the fact that I have no problem believing modern Hollywood would amplify such regular instances of human greed and ego-stroking.   This is, after all, a world in which a mega-success like the LOTR trilogy apparently made no profit to the point that Jackson had to sue New Line to get paid what he was due.

But some subtle-to-moderate massaging of some viewership numbers feels so insignificant in the context of AT&T going:

"OOOOOH!!!  WE'RE GOING TO DUMP OUR 2021 SLATE ONTO OUR NEW STREAMING PLATFORM WITHOUT AN UPCHARGE!!! 

OOOOH, WE'LL HASH THE DETAILS OUT WITH THE VARIOUS FINANCIAL STAKEHOLDERS OF EACH PRODUCTION LATER!  WE'RE SURE THEY'LL BE TOTALLY COOL WITH IT. 

OOOOOOH, CHRISTOPHER NOLAN IS GIVING US THE STINK EYE!!!"
