WARNER BROS WONT SELL! Zaslav Rumored To Set Up New DCU Movie Plan To Help Sell The Company! (nope)
Rumors are flying again (yes again) David Zaslav wants to sell Warner Brothers Discovery, even though it makes zero financial sense. A recent claim says the plan is to now not do a connected universe because that would allegedly be more attractive to future buyers. But of course, this is the element that's made Marvel successful for so many years, so how can this be possible. I explain why to me, it makes no sense.
Variety calls Marvel Phase 4 "pointless" and tries to make excuses for Marvel, and THEDIRECT reports Marvel is aware they making changes to deal with the negative reception to Phase 4. Will they ever give up on being woke, or will they cut back massively to deal with fake "superhero fatigue"?

PANIC AS WOKE MEDIA CALLS MCU PHASE 4 "POINTLESS"! Marvel Forced To Make Changes To Phases 5&6!
Marvel Studios could be making some massive changes to their Phase 5 and Phase 6 lineups after the negative reception to some of the content in Phase 4.
There's no denying that this first new Phase of MCU content post-Avengers: Endgame was mixed. While projects like Black Panther: Wakanda Forever and Spider-Man: No Way Home were widely praised, movies such as Eternals and Thor: Love and Thunder missed the mark for many.
Many feel that this is due to Marvel Studios and Disney focusing on quantity over quality, especially when it comes to utilizing Disney+ as a storytelling tool. Nearly all of those new MCU shows had reactions ranging all over the place, with She-Hulk: Attorney at Law and The Falcon and the Winter Soldier taking the brunt of the negativity.
Now, following the lukewarm reception to Phase 4, and the firing of former Disney CEO Bob Chapek, Marvel Studios is looking to make some changes.
MCU Multiverse Saga Shuffle on the Way?
MCU Phase 5 and 6 Slates
Marvel
A new report from The Cosmic Circus sources revealed how Marvel Studios might be facing some big changes after Bob Iger's return as CEO at Disney and the negative feedback Phase 4 has received from fans & critics.
Many believe the last two years of Marvel content have been lukewarm and that the studio is prioritizing quantity over quality.
According to Cosmic Circus and the outlet's sources, Marvel themselves have picked up on those worries about the overall approach for Phase 4. So now, "as a preventative measure to assure quality control," both Marvel and Disney are "re-evaluating the future releases" of Phase 5 and beyond that are not already in production.
Their sources say that Marvel Studios is hoping to hammer in a quality-over-quantity take on its future projects to avoid the issues it faced with Phase 4.
They note that one move behind considered by Marvel and Disney is to "develop a sort of creative oversite" on the MCU's future releases in order to "establish more quality control moving forward."
The Cosmic Circus also reiterated how they heard that Special Presentations are gaining more traction behind the scenes as a medium to deliver more potential projects moving forward.
It's worth noting that even with any changes, Phase 5 is likely to contain a similar amount of releases to Phase 4, assuming nothing already announced is outright canceled.
The important thing is that fans shouldn't expect Marvel Studios to start increasing its output even more than the studio is currently doing.
What Will Change for Phases 5 and 6?
After hearing that news, there's likely one question running through the mind: what changes should be expected?
As Cosmic Circus pointed out, any outright cancelations of Disney+ series or theatrical movies are unlikely. Shifts in format are more probable, such as the rumor of Nova shifting from series to Special Presentation or Armor Wars going from show to movie.
Looking ahead into 2024, only two series are known: Agatha: Coven of Chaos and Daredevil: Born Again. Charlie Cox's show even has 18 episodes, meaning that it will run for a good chunk of the year.
Past that, the only two projects that seem to still be in the works as shows are Vision Quest and Wonder Man. Currently, it isn't known if they'd be a part of Phase 5 or Phase 6.
It's hard to pinpoint if this will lead to fewer shows overall or just fewer new IPs. For example, while there might not be as many newly introduced series, there will be more space for Marvel to explore second seasons for characters such as Ms. Marvel or Moon Knight.
With how much content Marvel Studios has access to, some might not be able to help but feel that the MCU won't be able to build everything it needs to in time for Avengers: Secret Wars.
Whatever happens, this is a good move for Marvel Studios. Phase 4 was a mixed bag for many, and a re-evaluation like this should help assure fans that the company cares about the final products it pushes out the door.
The next MCU project, Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, is set to hit theaters on February 17, 2023.

Warner Bros. Discovery to Shut Down Pipeline Programs for Writers, Directors
https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/warner-bros-writers-directors-pipeline-programs-shut-down-1235239387/
WOKE Diversity Program SHUTDOWN At WARNER BROS DISCOVERY! Programs for Writers, Directors Ended!
Warner Bros. Discovery will be shutting down its long-running writers’ and directors’ television workshops at the end of the current 2022-23 season, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.
While they were not specifically diversity programs exclusively for participants from historically excluded backgrounds, the Warner Bros. Television Workshop was regarded as an important pipeline of opportunity for such artists looking to break into the business. The writers’ workshop had been in existence for more than 40 years, with more recent notable alumni including Akela Cooper (Luke Cage, Blumhouse’s upcoming M3GAN), Zak Schwartz (Wu-Tang: An American Saga, TNT’s Snowpiercer) and LaToya Morgan (The Walking Dead, Into the Badlands). Alumni of the directors’ workshop include Jude Weng (Only Murders in the Building, Finding ‘Ohana), Jaffar Mahmood (Reboot, Young Sheldon) and Regina King.

More Layoffs Coming Tuesday at Warner Bros. Discovery
Last month, WBD restructured its diversity, equity and inclusion group, with senior vice president Karen Horne, who formerly oversaw pipeline programs under WarnerMedia, promoted to oversee DEI for the North America region. In her place, Grace Anne Moss was appointed to oversee pipeline programs at the vp level.
The company also is shuttering Stage 13, its shortform digital content studio, with existing projects in the works to be absorbed into Warner Bros. Television, which has been overseeing Stage 13 development and programming since 2020. Stage 13 was founded in 2017 as part of the then-Warner Bros. Digital Networks division and has produced such series as Netflix’s Special, created by and starring Ryan O’Connell about his experiences as a young gay man with cerebral palsy, and The CW/Netflix’s anthology Two Sentence Horror Stories, which was created by Vera Miao and served as a showcase for directors from a diverse range of backgrounds.
The decision to shutter Stage 13 and the WBTV writers’ and directors’ workshops are part of a larger round of layoffs taking place today at the Channing Dungey-led Warner Bros. TV Group. Additional layoffs are expected to come as part of Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav’s larger effort to find an estimated $3 billion in cost savings from the newly merged company. Casey Bloys’ HBO and HBO Max division went through a similar round of layoffs in August. Staff cuts are expected to come at other WBD divisions as Zaslav and his top lieutenants look to eliminate staff redundancies and right-size its various divisions. As part of the larger effort, HBO Max and Discovery+ will be merged next year as execs continue to debate a new name for the service.

Top professor CACELLED by woke STUDENTS is launching a war on woke by founding a 'faculty for common sense' at a rival institution. Professor Eric Kaufmann, 53, formerly head of Politics at Birkbeck, University of London is creating a Centre for Heterodox Social Science as a beacon of academic free speech at the University of Buckingham. He hopes it will become a globally recognized center for research into today's culture wars, examining woke attitudes to controversial subjects such as trans rights and critical race theory.
Those teachers who do can face civil claims in superior court and can potentially have their credentials revoked.

Bob Iger’s heralded return to the Disney C-suite last year hasn’t produced the rosy results investors hoped for, and the array of setbacks he’s faced has left the 72-year-old executive “overwhelmed and exhausted,” even privately questioning why he returned, Bloomberg reported Tuesday. Bob Iger may NOT fight off Nelson Peltz, it would be a great opportunity for him to retire, he knows what he is doing is not working and will not work anytime soon if ever.
Disney’s stock is now down more than 9% since Iger took back the CEO title from Bob Chapek in November and activist investor Nelson Peltz is once again rattling the cage and pushing for a seat on the company’s board. But the challenges at the House of Mouse go beyond the potential for a renewed proxy fight with a cantankerous investor. The company was in “worse shape than Iger realized” when he came back.

Target LOST over $4 billion today in stock value as their sales continue to COLLAPSE one year AFTER the boycott! Target is set to limit the sale of LGBTQ-themed merchandise for Pride Month after the retailer faced backlash a year ago.
Ahead of its Pride product release in June - a practice it has followed since 2013 - Target will reduce the number of stores selling the merchandise, and stop offering Pride-themed children's clothes.
The adult-only options come a year after calls to boycott the brand over its collection, including 'tuck-friendly' swimsuits and children's T-shirts with the slogan: 'Trans People Will Always Exist!'
This week, Target said it was only releasing LGBTQ products around half of its 2,000 stores nationwide, 'based on historical sales performance', reports Bloomberg.

A Target spokesperson told CNN that despite dialing down its LGBTQ-themed merchandise, the company is 'committed to supporting' Pride Month.
'Most importantly, we want to create a welcoming and supportive environment for our LGBTQIA+ team members, which reflects our culture of care for the over 400,000 people who work at Target,' the spokesperson added.
When it was faced with backlash a year ago, the outrage grew to the point that several stores received bomb threats if they didn't pull the clothing line, and the company's share price tanked by over $10 billion.
Calendars reading 'Queer All Year' were also among the products, with others including rainbow covered children's clothes and adult bodysuits.
Target CEO Brian Cornell pulled the merchandise from stores just days before Pride Month began amid the controversy, and defended the move by noting the bomb threats and hostility directed at his employees.

There’s no doubt more to the story of Batgirl getting canceled and while we may never know everything, YouTube character, and news breaker Diktor Van Doomcock says he was told the real reason why the film was shelved.

In one of his latest videos, Doomcock reveals his sources told him Batgirl was terminated due to more than a tax writeoff and Warner Discovery CEO David Zaslav is at war on wokeness.
First, Doomcock shared info sent his way that he assumed, but couldn’t verify, originated on Reddit. It was actually posted on 4chan and, previously covered by us, the intel encompassed Zaslav’s rumored plan to reboot the DCEU.
Long story short, which we’ve already gone over, he wants DC content reserved for big-budget blockbusters that will fill the void of Marvel once the brand predictably falls out of favor.
This phase — or new frontier, if you will, and with a pun intended — is supposed to kick off with Black Adam who, according to YouTuber ComicBookCast 2, could be on on track to become the DCEU’s answer to Thanos.
Next, Doomcock shared a rumor — one that allegedly came from his “Hollywood spies” — that he’s told Warner Bros. did not want to get out.

The source claimed WarnerMedia — even before the merger with Discovery — has been at war against the woke movies they’ve been stuck with, contrary to popular opinion. So far, contracts in place have stymied their efforts and will continue to for a bit so expect some things to slip through the cracks.
There is a glimmer of hope, however, as the effort to suspend “politically divisive content” — that is to say “propaganda” regardless of “gender, religion, and ethnicity alone” — led to the shutdown of CNN+. Allegedly, AT&T and Discovery wanted to vaporize the news network itself but could only get so far.
Zaslav and Discovery are aware of the damage propaganda and divisive content does to business and beloved brands, having witnessed what Disney did to Star Wars and Marvel.

This is where Batgirl figures in; Doomcock’s spy contacted him again to say they heard the same story from two different sources, which was the film had a problematic ending pushed by “wokies.”
Similar to Superman’s death off-screen and supplanting in The Flash, Michael Keaton’s Batman was going to be killed off and replaced by Leslie Grace’s Latina superhero.
This spy added the death was handled so badly that it would have made Disney’s treatment of Luke Skywalker in The Last Jedi and beyond “look like a hero’s death.”

“When I heard this news,” Doomcock commented, “my mind was f—king blown…the sheer hostile woke madness of it damn near made my head explode.”
The host added Zaslav would rather bury “that woke s—t” deep in the vault than face the outrage that could result from killing Keaton’s iconic Batman and replacing him with Grace’s Batgirl.

Doomcock urges everyone to take these rumors with heaps of salt until they’re corroborated but he believes they are indications of things some at Warner Bros. want to keep under wraps, and that they are signs his side is winning the war for pop culture.
