Please use spoiler tags whenever commenting a spoiler in a non-spoiler thread. Most of the Lemmy clients don't support this but we want to get into the habit as clients will be supporting in the future.

To be fair, Roadrunner and John Cena sounds like a garbage movie idea. I doubt anyone has missed anything of substance.
Imagine you're an aspiring movie director. You've worked for 10 years to get your first big break. Sure it's just a shitty road runner movie for kids, but it's being financed by a major studio for global release. You do casting, shoot the movie, edit it and do ADR, start promoting it, and then the studio cancels it at the last minute just so some Hollywood exec can pump the WB stock price a couple of points and collect a slightly bigger bonus.
Now this is just a fictitious spin I put on this, but the point still stands. Artists are getting screwed over by 1 percenters. Film studios are axing the one thing they're supposed to do - make movies. This situation is a part of the same problem of Hollywood pursuing corporate profits at the expense of anything else, which also led to the WGA/SAG strikes.
