I have HBO Max because when it first started I thought HBO was top notch in entertainment and thought it would be that way going forward. I no longer have such illusions. I will say they have a good back catalog and once I watch the older shows and movies I'll cancel since every new show is pretty much what you would expect in our current time.

I am currently watching Batman Beyond and I haven't seen it all the way through but was able to catch an episode here and there when it first came out. Cyberguy64 mentioned on one of my previous posts that Batman Beyond is a great example of introducing a new character while respecting the character from the past.

I'll never understand how companies like Disney can be so clueless as to why there was backlash to Last Jedi. They could've made even more money by respecting Luke while also making Rey the main character (with good writing of course). I also think a better job could've been done with Finn, but I lost sympathy for him once he started joining in the "I am so oppressed" crowd during the summer of love. Another recent example is the Wheel of Time. I have seen book readers getting attacked for criticizing the show. If that moron showrunner wants to write his own show, then he should write his own show.

But I am really enjoying Batman Beyond. I almost forgot what it looked like to respect a character from the past while building up the current lead.
