>seeing modern reviews of people calling it problematic and terrible.
Did those reviews not say what they found problematic and terrible or something?
>if anything it’s representative of minorities etc?
I have no problem with Friends I just finished rewatching it recently, but this has to be trolling.

My whole point is that there doesn't need to narrative reason for nonwhite people to exist. If the only reason you're critical of the race of the characters in ROP is because "historical lore" then I think you need to reconsider your perspective.

>Yes. For the same reason why I would need a reason for White, Latino or Asian people to exist in Wakanda before they went international.
Yeah because a completely fictional land is the same as a fictional country in the real world and they need to follow the same thought process for the race of the inhabitants.
There is no reason a elf needs to be white.

And I'm saying that your second part is wrong. It means the same in any context.

Diverse means having actors from different ethnic and cultural backgrounds. That's it.

Most movies don't have undefined endings. Only big movie franchise normally do that.

What's going to fill that hour? As a Survivor fan I was really happy with the first two weeks and longer episodes for The Real Love Boat premiered. Always seemed like a weird show to put between Survivor and The Amazing Race.

Reply to comment by lightsongtheold in Peacock’s ‘Girls5eva’ Renewed for Season 3 — at Netflix by SanderSo47
Since they also get to stream the first two seasons I think it makes sense for them. They get a live action comedy that people already seem to like and they can put it right in front of an audience they know will like it.

It will and it's because people have Netflix. People aren't signing up for Peacock even if this show or others interested them.

Shows that are set in space have been done on a budget because the setting for a show in space doesn't need to be more than a set of a ship with some windows with space comped onto it.
Those shows don't have a character interacting with space regularly. And even if you took space out of it entirely like the Green Lantern movie did, the CGI required to make action scenes with the character high quality requires a budget.

Budget matters depending on the genre of show. If you tried to reduce the budget of HotD it would make the show significantly worse.
The budget of a sitcom or straight drama program probably doesn't matter that much, but for a show of this nature is changes the quality dramatically.

The budget getting reduced is a huge red flag. Green Lantern will flop of they try to make it a CW show.

Yeah I was going to say, a lot of people's first introduction to Green Lantern is John Stewart and he's always been my favorite of the big 3

>kinda becoming the very thing they swore to destroy with the different tiers, predatory policies, normalization of binging short seasons, and even being seen as show killers (where a show gets moved for last season before ending) etc. etc. etc.
I don't remember streaming promising to not do any of those things.

I mean Hulu with ads is for pay and really successful. But it doesn't really make sense for almost anyone to downgrade. The ad service is to drawn in new people and to make more off those people.
