their heavyhanded political message

I'll be honest, if the show is trying to make a point I have no idea what that is yet. But I haven't seen any of the marketing.
At worst it's maybe designed vague enough that you can project what you want on it. Which is kinda lame but could be a good or a bad thing depending whether it eventually sacks up. I have low expectations.

Admittedly, I was basing that statement more on the marketing without seeing the final product.
I've read an article that was talking a lot about how the male character is whiny, and how "privilege" shapes the plot structure and so on.

IWC (PBUH) mentioned that the show is making woman look terrible and incompetent, but with feminist productions, you just never know what they think it is they are doing and how you are supposed to feel about it.
Just think of Holdo from Star Wars: The Last Jedi, who is an unlikeable stupid fucking twat, incompetent to the highest degree and her terrible actions result in a more than justified mutiny by on of the main characters, yet the audience is supposed to side with her and condemn Poe for his actions.

Y could (up to this point) be about how everyone would freak out in such a situation and just check out these poor womyn UWU and how they struggle with the "Well, actually, it's good that men are finally gone - now we can rebuild the world in our divine, life-giving image. I am WOMAN hear me ROAR!".
Maybe the feminazi marketing lied about how the show is being handled and there is no feminazi agenda in it after all... thing is: I'll never know firsthand and I don't care. Any product marketed on this feminazi and SJW bullshit is something I simply won't waste time on. I won't be lectured by Hollywood pedophiles about morals. I won't be lectured by Hollywood trust fund kids about privilege. Market your product on that foundation and watch me just shrug and move on without it.

I'm sympathetic to your Disney PTSD bro but that is dumb.

I mean yeah you're gonna be right nine hundred and ninety nine times out of a thousand but one day a show actually will market itself to those people just to take a shit on their faces. Let's enjoy the glimmer of hope that it'll be this one while we can, it's the only way to enjoy tv right now.

You have a point, but when a show actually markets itself as SJW-stool eventually just to troll that pack of morons intentionally, and it turns out to be neat, I can change my attitude towards that show if and when it happens.
As for enjoying TV (or Netflix), I can always just ... not waste any time with any new stuff. There's a hundred years worth of entertainment available that I can watch and rewatch without touching any of these terrible new shows with their terrible new ideologies.

lol, who gives a shit? I lose out on jack shit by choosing to more or less completely ignore all Western media from the last 5 years or so. If something actually turns out to be good and not total shit, I’ll hear about it and can always choose to watch it later if I so desire.

Choosing to watch something on the off chance that it might own the libtards is your brain on culture wars and consoomerism.

 

[Kramer on the phone]

the marketing definitely fucked it. that and apparently piss poor word of mouth, admittedly the one superfan in this thread admits to the shows quality dropping between episodes. the show would always be considered misogynist just based on it being a post-apocalyptic show but with all women. This is literally the poster boy for the Galbrush Paradox and is playing out exactly how people said it would 5 years ago, hell this is probably why its taken over a decade for it to finally get made. its not like the women in power are any worse or more emotional than the men on any other post-apocalyptic show.

Another factor is like everyone said, too many shows now too. a shitload of people only discover some 100 episode drama or sitcom once it gets pushed by netflix years later. hell there are a lot of shows i just realized either A. didn't exist and have been on for over half a decade or b. i enjoyed but didn't realize they put out way more seasons of. and that doesnt mean much to any of you but for me it was a shock, a decade ago i was usually pretty good on knowing all tv shows, i've probably watched more shitty fox tv shows that get canceled in 4 episodes than any other person my age. but now that networks aren't limited to a timeslot they're going full sperg on content.

Yeah that wasn't really what I was saying and is actually closer to the opposite since I was sarcastically disagreeing with someone that takes the extreme view, but gratz on deciding you're winning somehow by denying yourself something through the mere magic of garbled hypocrisy and buzzwords.

Consooming media ain’t the end-all-be-all of life. If I miss out on something “good” because the dumbass corpo that made it chose to advertise it as something that it’s not, so fucking what? It’s a fucking TV show lol, it’s not gonna change my life.

 

[wtfNeedSignUp]

Two things from reading what's been talked about:
1. Wouldn't a trans woman be more like a guy in a prison becoming a "bitch for the other inmates"? I'm not really sure about the mentality behind this phenomenon but I guess women can do it just as men can.
2. The important thing to remember about women is that they have zero qualms against treating other women as worse than wife beaters as long as they represent what they dislike.

Yes dude you are super proud of your watching habits but it's how that relates (or doesn't) to the context of my post that you're aggressively oblivious to.

Also the irony of your logic but I'm getting the sense trying to walk that one through would be pretty ambitious.

Cancelled.

Was it killed by woke marketing, competition, lack of interest, corporate shenanigans, or confusion with the recent Fox comedy The Last Man On Earth? Or was it just not any good?

yes!

Hulu shows apparently are dead man walking shows, this and the orville got fucked, the budget showed they were expecting another Handmaiden's tale and instead got way worse ratings.

It was such a product of its time too but instead of just plowing through like The Boys basically did; they changed a lot of stuff. it focused less on "the last man" and more on what the world would be like without men.

LOL, this show was in development hell for the longest time and gets cancelled barely in it's first season. I haven't watched this show, but I knew it wouldn't last with the amount of articles talking about how it handles the "trans issues" and nothing about the actual plot of the show. I imagine the upcoming Halo show that got moved to Paramount+ from Showtime will suffer a similar fate by this time next year.

What happened with The Orville? As far as I now covid delayed the third season but it should be coming next year.

Hulu is definitely having trouble finding an identity now that Disney has majority ownership. Most of Disney's attention is being put into Disney+ that I think they might just end up merging the two at some point.

Batwoman got three seasons and counting, and this show is already cancelled after 7 episodes.

It is kind of amazing that this show is literally about how every man on Earth except one died off, and it still wasn't woke enough without a bunch of tranny shit.

It's sad because I legit enjoyed the comics, but I had to drop the show 3 episodes in.

The writers basically went out of their way to make the story about "proud capable strong women" instead of showing the actual apocalypse the world goes through. One of the whole points of the comic is that women are just as prone to be as corruptible, selfish, and evil as men. (If not actually more catty.) The cinematography also was sterile and without any sort of energy drawing the viewer in.

Also, they made Yorrick a total fuck up and fool. Completely missing that he could call bullshit out. (The TV writers would never have been able to handle him calling out the Amazon leader for her blantent sexism later on.) Everything changed to making him the idiot and the women hyper-capable.

And this isn't even taking into account 99% of the promotion for the show was just talking about trans issues or listing off social justice 101 checklist points instead of the actual fucking story.

The showrunner's statement was all virtue signalling about how diverse the production was, and said nothing about the show itself.

I’ll admit I know almost nothing about the comic, but the way they describe the show sounds like the exact opposite of what was supposed to be going on with the story.

how are trannies in the tv series? Are they considered women or dead with the rest of the men?

Batwoman is a CW show, getting 3 seasons and counting despite being complete and utter shit is pretty par for the course.
