I don’t know if the company that sold off K-Pop Demon Hunters to Netflix due to thinking it wouldn’t do well should be judging if something is commercial enough to produce. As a huge Amphibia fan, I’m devastated by this news, the story sounds incredibly promising and unique. At the very least they could have gave it a chance and gambled with Netflix again instead of canceling it… 🙁

Heartbroken over this, not gonna lie. Matt Braly is one of my biggest inspirations ever and seeing him go through all this is a sad reminder of what the industry does to creatives.

Devastating. That premise makes me emotionally stoked already.

Sony is unbelievably stupid. How do you not learn from the mistake of selling off _KPop Demon Hunters_?
They didn’t think that would be profitable, and here we are with it being the biggest animated sensation since freaking Frozen. You’d think they’d give more original animated movies a chance after that.

This is the company that saw Kpop Demon Hunters on a lineup and thought the musical about one of the biggest music genres on the planet right now wasnt even worth a minimal dollar investment. Not even the music rights. So forgive me if I don’t trust their judgement on what is and isn’t commercially appealing.

Watch as some other studio takes over and it becomes a hit. That is usually how it goes with Sony. One day they’ll learn, I have faith.

Awful news, and just after their last sold project backfired spectacularly. Really hoping it can live again elsewhere, ideally someone who believes in theaters.
Hey, Josh & Dana – this might solve Disney’s current boy IP troubles. Just saying.

Netflix takes out the wallet
