James Gunn and Peter Safran's short-lived era spearheading DC Studios was less than super, writes Variety's @OwenGleiberman:
"When you look at who Ellison has chosen to replace Gunn and Safran, there's a clear directive there: Jeremy Latcham is a Marvel veteran who, by his own description, now leans toward a faith-based vision, one that's wholesomely heroic and upbeat.
In other words, say goodbye to any vestige of the James Gunn "edge." But if the Gunn edge had truly won an audience, we might be having a different conversation. Taken together, his moves and decisions gave him a (barely) passing grade."

casting black people as the natives of westeros and then have them get cursed and turn into the inhumane children of the forest was insane and thank god it got canceled. it would have buried the asoiaf franchise for good 😭
I’ve fallen down the rabbit hole of that failed $35M Game Of Thrones prequel series pilot called Bloodmoon
It was so bad that it got locked in the HBO vault (GRRM hasn’t even seen it) and now the channel no longer orders pilots at all because of the fiasco
