Disney bought both Star Wars and Marvel combined for roughly this… Unless WWE has the patent on some cancer drug, this is a wild overvaluation.

I would have been interested if they hadn't already announced cancellation.

Kinda sad that the process has been figured out

It's a decent steampunk/fantasy concept; basically, "the Fae" - beings that are mythological in our reality, like fauns and faeries - are living creatures in this world, but there's a lot of prejudice against them from the human majority. Intrigue and some action ensues when a bunch of Fae refugees end up living in Carnival Row, a slum district in a majority-human city.

The problem is that the two protagonists (a faerie radical played by Cara Delivingne and a human cop played by Orlando Bloom) are kind of boring. The glimpses of life in Carnival Row often suggest events and characters who are more interesting than the leads, which gets frustrating.

Production design is good, though.

Never heard of it

You still have to be nominated and have some credibility but, yeah pretty much anyone in Hollywood can get one.

It’s a massive and illogical leap to go from 3.2bn people watched at least some of the Premier League (so certainly not even a whole game and no guarantee it was a Man Utd game at that), and then deduce from that the majority of those people know about Man Utd, let alone support it financially (through ticket or merchandise purchases etc), which is what accrues such big value to these brands.

Moreover, albeit according to WWE themselves, their programming reaches over 1.2bn people a year worldwide.

> According to WWE's own statistics, its programming reaches over 1.2 billion homes globally in over 28 languages.

are you Ice-Ts PR team? lmao what is this

Came into the comments to say this - hell, I'm pretty sure I\anyone could buy a star if you offered enough!

Same reason Foxnews gets better ratings, conservatives have less options so their audience don't get split like more liberal leaning programing.

I think it's already stolen the zombie apocalypse crown from The Walking Dead. TWD has been terrible for the most part after the first season. It's had some fun moments, but overall the quality has been pretty low and the production values unimpressive. The Last of Us has more visual variety in single episodes than TWD did over full seasons, and is telling a better, tighter, more artistic story about a similar setting. It's more comparable to McCarthy's The Road than to The Walking Dead.

This is the right take here.

I read it's up to $50k to be "honored".

I"m not really sure what your argument is here. OP made the comparison, not me. The numbers aren't lying. The BB wiki page shows the number of viewers for each episode. I watched it from the beginning as it aired and it was not a popular show at that time though it did receive a lot of critical acclaim.

It doesn't take much to be better than The Walking Dead. That show was hot garbage for most of its run. I stopped watching after five or six seasons, and I loved and read all the comics.

too early to say if it will or won’t. Also this is a much bigger deal than westworld s1

The whole Judgment Night soundtrack is worth checking out.

The God of War series is basically defined by the giant set-piece fights with the gods, which is why I'm very dubious about it working on TV.

I'll be nice and round up to 10 billion.

I don’t think it will. I like the show but Breaking Bad is really about as good as TV gets. Also it only looks like this will be a 2 season show, so it won’t be on very long. One season of TV that isn’t even done yet makes it hard to judge though.
