It’s not just a money thing. Batman and Superman are getting thrashed by Marvel’s D-list characters. Game of Thrones Season 8 was so bad, it risked ruining a franchise that’s in the same top tier category as Star Wars, Harry Potter, and Lord of the Rings. Speaking of, the Fantastic Beasts series is similarly a massive screw up. To be fair, JK Rowling deserves most of the blame not just Warner Bros. And when was the last time you saw anything related to Bugs Bunny, once the most famous cartoon character (Mario is/was similarly bigger than Mickey Mouse at one point). It’s crazy how the greatest franchises in American history have been fumbled. Not some of the greatest, the greatest.
