This seems consistent with a recent Corbett
report

  … maybe someone around one of those pitch tables listening to yet one more superhero against superhero, superhero against nature, or superhero against superhero self had an epiphany of sorts . The possible epiphany … that they can’t make movies from comic books forever? Oh, sorry, apologies to anyone offended …. it should have read [“graphic novels” forever?]

    The possible high octane speculation concern here is that they can use book rights like corporations use patent rights. Buy the rights then memory-hole whatever you want to censor.

      That’s my thought too.

      The Rockefellers did that w/a book about them that spoke truth to their ill use of power. The authors worked years on it and jumped through all kinds of hoops to get a great investigative journalistic work out to the public at large.
      Unfortunately, their publishers, then sold the rights to the Rockefellers. Undoubtedly making lots of money for the publisher; who also, probably had a offer he couldn’t refuse
      The Rockefellers then who privished the authors book. The word to describe it was & is privish: to publish a book only to have its distribution fully and intentionally cancelled.

    What? Aren’t Ay Eyes supposed to be writing masterpieces, composing amazing symphonies and producing blockbusters? Or has that project been a flop….

  Those “hollywood” types are becoming very annoying. It is becoming harder and harder to watch series and movies without retching. It has become that uncomfortable. In some instances I gave up watching what once were beloved series. I simply can’t stand to see some actors / actrices anymore. And now they are screwing with my reading!
