This turn is like the third season of basically any drama, but especially DEADWOOD, when the SnyderVerse-stans and the anti-Snyderites have to confront an existential threat against them both. Will they unite???

One of the main things that burnt me out on working in Hollywood is this exact thing -working on something for months at a time and then the project is getting killed for reasons outside of your control. Sure everyone gets paid but what do you have to show for it at the end? Really feel for the creatives involved!
