DMG Entertainment Acquires Valiant

[The Chosen 1]

I'm disappointed that Dinesh won't be at Valiant to see his vision hit the big screen.
BUT, this is what we've all wanted, to see Valiant on the big screen, and it's happening.
I follow Valiant, and am excited for the future. I havent had the interaction of lot of you did with Dinesh, so i dont have the same emotional feeling about whats happened.
When Valiant was revied, i'm sure hardly any of you came on board because of Dinesh, because none of you would have known him.
Not many new readers coming on board would have know who Dinesh was, so he become part of the story for most of us after they found Valiant.
Lastly, and im going to sound like a prick here, when DMG bought up to 57%, what did anyone expect the inevitable outcome to be? It was naive and amateurish to think that a massive company like DMG weren't going to call on the contract terms.
These terms were in the contract, so for Dinesh and the Curneo's to be 'blindsided' is surprising. Maybe they were hopeful of a different oucome, but DMG owned the majority of the company and there were conditions included in the contract that allowed them to purchase the company in specific circumstances, as disclosed in the contract. Maybe they shouldn't have allowed DMG to purchase a majority share if they really wanted to retain control of Valiant.

When DMG invested, they did not get a majority share. Valiant had multiple investors, so DMG would have needed help to get to 57%. It doesn't sound like they got to 57% with help from Cuneo or Dinesh.

This mystery seems to be about as difficult as realizing the other guy from the beginning of every Scooby Doo episode is the one behind the mask at the end.

And unfortunately, he got away with it too...

If only there was some clue which Valiant investor would choose to switch sides and help DMG take over specifically to make Valiant movies for China...

DOCTOR MIRAGE is gonna be a CW show, can't imagine it's gonna be anything other than just another CW show. Not really for me. I'd rather have more comics.

I don't know, granted the CW shows are generally geared a little younger, they have been fairly well done...Riverdale, Green Arrow, Flash are very watchable IMO

I watched the first two episodes of Black Lightning and was very impressed. It does NOT seem like a stereotypical CW show at all. Fingers crossed for Doctor Mirage.

Hmm... Some excellent sleuthing here, young man!

Not me! I could not care less about multi-media tie-ins. Just want the comics please!

I found the Kothari connection to Jackie Chan before I found the DMG connection to Jackie Chan. I wonder if Jackie Chan is Hong Kong's version of the Kevin Bacon connections game.

Six degrees of Jackie Chan

[lorddunlow]

Oddly enough, the board wouldn't allow me to quote 6 degrees of nested quotes... I had to remove one of the nested quotes.

Sorry guys too easy. Not Jason.

Well, then I don't know.

I bet it was Fred. No one is that nice... He's a little too nice...

My bet... It was Peter...

Gavin and Dino didn't want it, Peter said... Times up boys!

Setting aside the issue that DMG did not initially acquire majority share, but acquired another share recently...

I'm not sure why everyone is so optimistic that the movies and tv shows are now full steam ahead. DMG is a production company, No? Couldn't (or shouldn't) they have been starting to produce these projects for some time now? Did they decide to gold brick until they managed to kick Dinesh to the curb?

What experience does DMG actually Have? Looper, Iron Man 3, and Point Break? They honestly think they're ready to step into a shared cinematic universe? Also, I believe the cinematic universe is attached to Sony, so...awesome track record with franchises over there!

As far as certain projects that were already rumored, are we not concerned that Dinesh's departure might affect those, the Q&W show for instance? How is Mintz going to steer the ship if he doesn't understand the characters (assumption)?

Also, I have to dispute that newer fans don't know Dino. I met him at a con not too long after becoming a valiant fan. He was at most of the cons meeting every potential fan. He answered everyone's tweets. Dinesh was (arguably remains) the face of Valiant. I'm not saying that someone else definitely can't lead Valiant, but we shouldn't minimize his role at the heart and soul, and creative mastermind of the company.

But maybe (?) we'll get a movie? More, if they can make a good one?
