Everyone who did great work has kinda been forced out and i bet you the investors are stagnating characters intentionally for film rights.

Thanks for posting. Look forward to hanging with Dinesh again. Really looking forward to hearing about his new ventures after the Bloodshot movie.

I bet it isn't. Look at the tweet again, he doesn't say anything that isn't public knowledge. He just puts several pieces of the puzzle in order.

DMG have a major movie in production with a big studio and a big star and they aren't involved (How long until we eventually see a token photo of Dan Mintz with Vin Diesel like the photo of him and Robert Downey Jr which they clearly also had nothing to do with exception getting it approved for theaters in China?) I think that says a lot. They obviously aren't good at the Hollywood game. They probably are doing the best they can, it's just not very good. This tweet and the Eric heisserer tweet in response really show how much this is just Acclaim all over again

So disappointing to see. I guess we should be grateful for the years we had and hope for the best going forward.

That's basically what I said to Dinesh on Twitter. ~6 years is actually quite a while in comic book time, and it's definitely something to be proud of.

Personally, while I obviously want more, I'm extremely happy that I just spent 4 years buying 1-3 Valiant comics a week and almost never being disappointed. That's something I can't really say about any comic series or publisher.
