Skydance really is trying to be shittiest ever company... wild to say that Ellison is making Zaslav look like a decent CEO....
Skydance is carrying $87 billion in debt and betting on AI to slash costs.
CEO David Ellison expects AI to make production faster and cheaper across every department. Meanwhile, layoffs and restructuring are already underway.

If only we both had more time on our hands we'd do some movie reviews and debates...
As I know for this year we would do something along the lines of:
Godzilla Minus Zero vs The Odyssey!

Best movie i have seen this year.

I completely understand the not enough Godzilla critiques, but for me personally it was such a beautiful film.
Gonna make a review on my @YouTube channel

Lacked Pop Culture Impact = “We didn’t like the obvious Israel and Palestine stuff”
Frankly even if they did believe that the DCU’s box office was lukewarm (they only have 1 out of 3 flops in less than 2 years), surely they’d have to know that this initiative didn’t exist in a vacuum. The DCU is literally coming off the heels of the failed DCEU whose last 7 movies struggled to even make over 200M or breakeven. 615M isn’t the most explosive number and it’s certainly possible that they expected Superman to make more, but the entire DC brand was in a state of rehabilitation and needed to earn the trust of audiences back overtime. That is just the nature of working with what the general public believed to be a failed franchise.
It would’ve made a lot more sense to place judgement AFTER Man of Tomorrow. By then they would have 6 projects under their belt and a better overall slate to look back on and determine how successful they were in their tenure and if their efforts paid off in Man of Tomorrow which was meant to be the big event film and culmination of all those stories.
If Ellison believes that shooting Man of Tomorrow in the foot with horrible PR and casting doubt on the entire DCU is going to somehow make it more profitable, he’s more of a complete idiot than I thought.

One of the reasons Skydance replaced James Gunn and Peter Safran as the heads of DC Studios had to do with box office.
• ‘Supergirl’ was a massive bomb this year.
• ‘Superman’s $618M box office was not impressive to Skydance either, as the film lacked “pop culture impact” in ttps://t.co/IA1b9D4HPa)

It sucks that James Gunn and Peter Safran are out at DC Studios, but I'm starting to think David Ellison may have picked the WORST possible guy to replace them.
Jeremy Latcham is being sold as a former Marvel executive and Kevin Feige protégé. And that's true! He worked on IRON DIANS OF THE GALAXY, and more. He's got the résumé. But there are two things about this hiring that really concern me.
First, I think Ellison wants DC to become Marvel 2.0, and FAST. Warner Bros. has been chasing Marvel's success ever since BATMAN V SUPERMAN was announced in 2013, and I suspect Gunn's slower, less interconnected approach wasn't delivering the results Skydance wanted. Bringing in someone who helped build the original MCU certainly suggests they're looking to accelerate things.
But the second issue is even more interesting. Latcham has become heavily involved in faith-and-values entertainment through Wonder Project and has openly championed uplifting stories rooted in redemption, family, and traditional values. Now, there's nothing inherently wrong with that, but is that really the direction DC Studios needs to go?
DC's biggest theatrical successes outside the broader superhero boom have largely come from darker Batman stories. And now we're potentially looking at a studio that could lean even harder into the whole hope, kindness, and inspirational messaging that Gunn was already pushing. I don't know how well that's going to play with audiences, especially if it comes at the expense of the darker material DC has historically done so well.
This is Skydance's DCU, not Angel Studios' DCU. And I genuinely worry that Latcham is being brought in to fast-track a more Marvel-like, family-friendly version of DC that audiences haven't necessarily asked for.
Part of me also wonders whether he's being positioned to oversee an inevitable reboot once MAN OF TOMORROW and Gunn's remaining projects are finished. If that happens and the new direction fails, Latcham gets to take the heat for another corporate attempt to reinvent DC.
I hope I'm wrong about all of this, but I really don't like where I think this is heading.

This is indeed the single best X-Men comic recommendation one can make.
Iman Vellani recommends ‘GOD LOVES, MAN KILLS’ as the X-Men comic to read
“It’s the purest distillation of what these characters represent, written by Chris Claremont.
Reverend William Stryker, and he’s built his entire religious and political following around the hatred of alled the Purifiers are acting on his behalf to kill the mutants they see. Stryker’s speaking for God, but he’s preaching hatred and murder. It’s so dark and explores how a lot of people’s beliefs are often more dangerous than the people themselves.”
