    I stongly feel there should be a rule for streaming platforms to make a satisfying season finale every time, because of the extremely high risk of cancellation every time they make something.

      Should be a contractual obligation that if a show is optioned for additional seasons and Netflix cancels it, there are at the very least on the hook for a movie to tie up any outstanding plot points.

      Not only to give the fans of the show closure, but potential new audience the confidence that the content available on their platform will likely have a satisfying narrative arc.

    I don’t watch shows on Netflix any more until they come to a conclusion. They cancel shit so often that I can’t know that whatever I choose to watch on there will wrap up and come to a satisfying end or not.

      I wonder if this is a cyclic issue.

      People start waiting to watch shows due to cancellations, Netflix sees viewership is down and cancels show early, more people start waiting for new shows.

    I didn’t think it was that good anyway, but it boggles belief that they spent that much on one season of anything. 200 million is a ludicrous amount of money, and they just flushed it and went “oops lol, anyway, here’s wonderwall”.

    I watched the whole thing. I’ve certainly seen worse from bigger studios.

    If Jupiter’s Legacy had gotten a second season, I would’ve watched it.

    I came to the conclusion that Netflix doesn’t understand marketing. The hit shows they had seem to be lucky finds and they think they can reproduce that by dumping money into a show and telling no one about it. Like fanboys will just watch whatever Daddy Netflix gives them.

    Cowboy Bebop is a perfect example. They market it to die hard anime fans and no one else. Those fans hate it and it gets cancelled. The show wasn’t that bad and people like my dad would have loved it, had he ever heard about it.

      Hard agree on the live action Cowboy Bebop. It was pretty good, all in all.

      Honestly they nailed Jet so hard, it was fantastic. Just his whole vibe captured perfectly.

      The original stuff was pretty good. It faltered hardest when it tried to recreate shots one for one from the anime.

      Well, it faltered the hardest with Ed in the final scene. Not a good lasting impression.

      My dad actually really liked the cowboy bebop live action show, I think he said he even watched some of the abime after, which is pretty crazy as I don’t think he’s ever watched anime intentionally on his own before.

      Make a show with Legacy in the title

      It has absolutely no impact

      It’s like poetry it rhymes.

      I literally watched it and still didn’t remember it until you said that name. Still couldn’t tell you a damn thing about it.

        Of course you can, it’s about superheroes, you can see it in the costumes.

        Nothing besides that though. I also watched it and am drawing a blank. I think there was a scene with a boat for some reason?

        So yeah, canceling it made perfect sense.

    I hope they didn’t use that image in any of the marketing. It just looks like geriatric super heroes. Why would I want to watch that?

      If it’s a comedy, I see the potential for hilarity. Geriatric superheroes mentoring the next generation of heroes could be a good comedy drama.

    And yet people still pay for the shit. Because… social peer pressure? Addiction?

    All I read is how people can’t afford shit, streaming is expensive, the content sucks, I can’t steal passwords anymore; yet people keep paying for this shit and their subscribership keeps increasing.

    People need to vote with their wallets.

    That show sucked ass. I got through the first episode. I’m sure it worked better as a comic book. The villain was like, killing the superheroes left and right and then one of the heroes finally killed the villain (who had escaped prison or something) and then the papa hero got all pissy because “We don’t kill!” Just really stupid stuff

      Googled just to see, it’s a Mark Millar comic didn’t need to read any further, it was an edgy take at superheroes, how rare from him
