This shit is why I pirate. I hoard all the shows that are orphaned, canceled, and otherwise let out to pasture that I can find (and are not canceled because they are trash).
I love being a minor archive, a datapoint for some rare stuff so it never dies. But it’s so very sad that others are deprived of things because some rich fuck wants more money…
I recently thought to add dinosaurs (Jim Henson) to my collection, haven’t seen that shit since I was a toddler myself.
Welcome to my world lol. 30TB of every tv show, film, album, comedy special, book, comic, and video game (until we hit the PS3/360 era cause I'm not made of money for storage lol). As long as I've ever enjoyed it, I got it.
Yet another amazing business move from Warner Bros. Discovery. Do the streaming platforms just want people to go back to pirating stuff?
Max’s fuckery which led to losing ANY legal means to stream animated shows like Infinity Train is what led me to start pirating in the first place. It’s an insult to the creators and the audience.
I started many a decade ago myself (well...2 lol) but I fully agree. I'm a long time Doctor Who fan, I know well the pains of deleted media. Have had to long ensure that anything I want access to is in my possession one way or another.
It's not even really specific to Halloween, it's more just autumn-themed (a bit wintry in EP10), so it is somewhat less likely that everybody is going to watch it all at the same time (if that even matters, also I'd imagine it takes less bandwidth than the same duration of live-action content).
Assuming content is balanced on different servers, you'd think a highly-acclaimed (for young and old) seasonal (rather than holiday) 10-episode animation series would be the absolute pinnacle of content to have on a subscription service. Evergreen content. Well, that is if it actually made sense beyond short-term money.
Final Space was another show that I only heard about after it was cancelled. I wonder if this one would be as good.
This one is far, far better.
It’s a small one off 10 episodes show with no filler and a charming story, featuring Elijah Wood.
If you only ever watch one animated series in your life , you’d not be disappointed if it was this one.
Final Space was fun and all, but this is more like art than simple comedy.
