My thought process: "Oh, I liked the campy 80's Swamp Thing movie, and this looks interesting. Only on DC Universe? Hmm... let's see... $8 a month? Yeah... nope."

There has to be a streaming video market contraction. It's insane to think people are going to sign up for a ton of individual hyper-focused channels. I guess if you're super into DC this might seem like a great deal, but it completely loses them any casual or only mildly-curious viewers.

I don't think this has anything to do with the Swamp Thing movie, but more the Alan Moore and forward era.

But yeah, Doom Patrol is the only other one that I'd really want to see there as Titans doesn't look worth while. This was a case, much like Stargate Universe, where partnering with an existing service would have made more sense. Perhaps with Disney pulling all the Marvel stuff to Disney+, and assuming DC Universe doesn't make enough, perhaps they'll partner with Netflix or something.

DC going to Netflix would be a reaaaaally smart move on their part. Have a couple decent shows, tie them into some movies that aren't fucking awful, and people might actually give a crap about their universe.

Yeah no thanks. Looks dumb. I watched the original Swamp Thing when I was a kid, and, like, wasn't he, like, a good guy who helped solve crimes or whatever but was misunderstood by most everyone but the few he let know he exists? Here, he's basically out to kill everyone? It looks campy, but it's trying to be serious? I'm totally confused. AND to top it off, they want to charge me to join yet another fucking streaming service just to watch this questionable-as-all-fuck nonsense? Fuck this shit. That's a meganope from me.
