“cottagecore postapocalyptic bear fantasy”

This is a weird way to describe a pretty conventional couple who live together in a house.

It's so bad, It's an easy hate watch.

It’s shot in Australia….

This is an unpopular opinion here, but IMO it's "The Winds of Winter" from Game of Thrones.

There are many shows I like more overall, but when it comes to an individual episode they don't get much better.

Everyone reacts to art differently, that's all.

Also, most of the best shows ever are above characters who either exist in a morally gray area or who are outright bad people. Walter White started out somewhat morally gray and became an egomaniacal sociopath. Vic Mackey was a bad person who had some good qualities.

Tony Soprano, Omar Little (and most of the other characters from The Wire), Admiral Adama, Jaime Lannister…there’s a long list of TV characters who are or become protagonists that do morally questionable and sometimes awful things, and the vast majority of us are capable of understanding that they are not solely good people.

People don’t “want to learn more” about him, they want to see modern versions of their favorite characters on the big screen, and the DCEU simply wasn’t a cohesive adaption.

Unfortunately I think you're giving the western world a little too much credit too.

I always liked Max from Happy Endings. Gay best friend but a sloppy loser

The lang family is what ruined it for me.

Yes, on HBO. Three episodes in so far

Looking at who produces it which includes an Israeli company I wonder if it gets subsidies by the Israeli government for home grown production.

That may make it cheap enough to use as filler.

Because lets be honest all network shows are filler when not airing the NFL.

There’s a The Last of Us tv show?

Bots and a huge advertising budget

"The Body" (Buffy The Vampire Slayer)

"Ozymandias" (Breaking Bad)

"Walking Distance" (The Twilight Zone)

"The Visitor" (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine)

It's really hard to say at this point. Historically, DC has had a ton of things in various stages of development that never went anywhere, but that was all under entirely different leadership. If these projects are successful, I don't think we have to worry about execution. If they struggle out the gate, who knows?

But, I'm guessing most of these things will be in production around the same time, so I'm doubting there will be many changes within the first slate.

my mum, she pulled a very grossed out face when i told her what this episode was about

Well its a post apocalyptic world, they literally have to find a working car battery.

Sadly, the majority of people on earth. In the west it’s still more divisive than it should be. In many other places it’s not even up for debate; gay equals bad.

Outside the western world? Billions of people unfortunately....

I never played the game because I hate "escort missions."

TLOU seemed like Escort Mission the game. I haven't watched the show because I never played the game and generally hate zombie movies/shows.

But the way you described Ellie makes perfect sense to me, since most escort missions (in games) are annoying af.

>“One of our strategies is to take our diamond characters — which is Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman — and we use them to prop up other characters that people don’t know,” explained Gunn.

From the sounds of it, this is a little intentional. They're using "Chapter One" to introduce lesser-known characters, and then presumably they'll be able to bring more characters that have not been done to death to the forefront.

But really, between Creature Commandos, The Authority, Booster Gold, and Waller, I'd say they're already doing a decent job at not focusing entirely on the most known characters. Plus, James Gunn indicating they're exploring all of DC's imprints certainly opens the door for some interesting things in the future.

Only the Lanterns series. Mystery starts there
