Same shit happened with that movie she was doing at Sony.

I'm finding it hard to believe that Batgirl's bat-grapple can hold down Supergirl, or that a low-tier mutant can physically match her. Did she get fucked with a kryptonite dildo?

Lauren Faust is taking over DC Super Hero Girls, a doll line that came out last year. She's rebooting it, replacing the creative teams, ditching most of the cast, and scrapping the toyline to replace all the designs.

It's going to air on CN in place of Justice League Action.

is the chubby supergirl gonne be voiced by tara?

whatabouta peej costume?

As good as Lauren Faust is, we do need to ask the question: does Lauren Faust know enough about DC to make an entire show about its characters, while being entertaining and funny?

>>92851696
>It's going to air on CN in place of Justice League Action.

So, in an early Saturday morning timeslot with no re-runs ever?

>>92852555
Almost certainly. And that's the best case scenario. DC Superhero Girls is a franchise focused entirely on girls, so if they keep with that idea CN is likely to air it even less due to limited demographics- there are no shows on CN that are "girly."

If they decide to change up the franchise and make it more gender neutral they are apt to lose the girls that already buy things in the line, and since the toys are dolls they aren't going to get boys buying merch anyway.

The most likely thing they'll do is scrap the franchise and lose the entire base, remake Super Best Friends with a different name, make the toys MLP vinyl figures instead of dolls, and pray it still has sales. There is almost no positive outcome for this.

>>92851930
She's not doing it alone, ya nimrod. They hire writers for this kinda stuff, you know? Besides there's Johns as CCO.

>>92851696
>Replacing all the designs

Thank god, here's hoping that Faust will go with her classic SBFF shorts design for the show. I say her Harley Quinn and loved it.

>>92851696
Source? I'm hype
More porn of THICCgirl is what I've wanted for ages

>>92852680
You may not like the series designs but they're made to sell dolls. Do you really think Super Best Friends dolls will sell?

All their completely different bodytypes make them basically impossible to make into a traditional doll line. It's just not how the toy industry works- dolls are designed for parts reuse.

>>92852751
>variety makes it impossible to make a toyline
Granted, I know nothing about how the toy industry works, but that sounds like retarded bullshit. So it's probably 100% true if life has taught me anything.

You are wrong. Have you ever heard of a "buck?" A buck is a base body that is pre-engineered, then has sculpting on top of it. Its why all Masters of the Universe figures have the same bodies, or why Marvel Legends have about 4 different bodytypes overall. Re-egineering a new body for every figure is expensive, which is why you only see it on lines where its absolutely necessary.

With dolls, the problem is exacerbated for a few reasons, mainly that dolls are meant to share clothes and have increased cost per unit from rooted hair and fabric clothes (also remember that almost every doll has to be dressed by human hands.) Every doll shares a body to make that possible. Additionally, cutting a new steel mold for a part is extremely expensive and drives up prices, especially if you have to cut a brand new mold for every character. Then you also have cost per unit calculations regarding plastic quantities; fat Supergirl will have a lot more plastic than skinny Batgirl, and tall scrawny Donna could go either way. This also influences shipping costs- a shipment with 4 Supergirls would cost more than a shipment with 2 Batgirls and 2 Supergirls.

This in turn influences the unit price, which for US retailers is a no go. You can't make multiple products in a line different prices unless you make it a totally different product type; this is why you have a standard MSRP for products like action figures, and why lines like Marvel Legends have to make bigger than average characters Build-a-Figures- no store would stock a single toy that costs 5-10 dollars more than everything else in the line.

The entire toy industry is a balancing act and made for modularity, which is why if there is a Lauren Faust style toyline won't be dolls.

>>92853177
Thanks, /biz/! Seriously though, that explains a lot. Like, basically everything about Transformers, undoubtedly an entirely different flavor of clusterfuck.

>>92850307
YEAH GURRRL POWER! FUCK TRUMP! I'm just playin'

>>92854032
I know you are, beside the clip taken is from a short where Supergirl is pulling off a tantrum because she can't fight crime due o her being grounded.

>>92853299

Yeah Transformers are a very different animal because nearly every single toy needs new engineering. It cuts into things like paint significantly.

It also offers a good example of price point issues: Prime Breakdown was between the price point of a Voyager and a Leader, and since they couldn't release him under a standard price in the US we didn't get him.

>>92852615
I feel like CN is going to shill it hardcore.
They want the girl demographic. That was the sole reason that they rebooted NuPPG. Yeah it was shit but they wanted them to buy merchandise. DC Superhero Girls is a very popular brand. CN loves that Teen Titans GO money so there's no way they will give Superhero Girls a shit timeslot.

>>92850375
Sony pulled that shit with every Animation Director they brought in. Van Orman being the most recent to have his project pulled and be put some existing property.

>>92854219
I wish I had your confidence but I have zero faith in this.

>>92851696
>It's going to air on CN in place of Justice League Action.
Based Faust. Worth it for that alone.

Thanks for the info guy, thats some tasty knowledge and will make a fine edition to my gray matter

Yeah, I think people forget CN pushed the hell out of PPG when it was coming out, they showed episodes every day, then it bombed. This has a high chance of success and will get the same push I think.

Oh my. I'm liking the designs.

>>92854277
I hate Sony so much. For so many reasons.

Justice League Action is great though.

>>92856317
You realize Super Best Friends is a show from years ago right?

>>92857229
There's no reason the designs shouldn't be making a comeback.

>>92857304
Because they can't be made into the same kind of toys? In a show entirely based around selling toys that is a huge issue. They'd basically be killing the franchise and starting over.

>>92851930
>As good as Lauren Faust is
She really isn't, she's decent at concepts and world building but when given complete control over the writing it can get pretty bad, it's another George Lucas thing.

>>92857373
Why? Because some anon on 4chan said they can't make a toyline out of these designs? Are you serious?

>>92857411
George Lucas didn't do """worldbuilding""" for shit, almost everything in Star Wars was developed by the special effects people.

Also quit using that word, it makes you sound like a retard.

>>92857851
Have you not seen the dolls? There is zero way to fit the SBF designs into the same line.

>>92851696
That's kinda a dick move, but I get that she's trying to do an "I told you so" since CN didn't initially pick up her show for the sole fact they already had a girls show in the form of Steven Universe.

>>92851696
Is it really a good idea to put the fate of one of their more promising spinoff brands in the hands of CN?

>>92850293
Oh my God, you could grind your meat on those things...

>>92858889
The fact that she's doing it at an "I told you so" is retarded because the brand is already successful. She's just stepping in to adapt it to TV, but in the process changing everything that made it successful.

>>92858942
I'd wager WB wanted it since they weren't making as much money off Mattel's web series. They probably thought they could step in and get CN to leech some more cash out out of the franchise by snatching the cartoon out of Mattel's hands.

We all know how much CN hates DC though so its likely to last a year tops and kill the franchise.

>>92859102
>She's just stepping in to adapt it to TV, but in the process changing everything that made it successful.

Good. It's generic shit in the first place. Marketable generic shit, but still generic shit.

Let it all burn. Better to have a memorable short run series than long-running dreck.

>>92859102
I son'r rhink tou unswearns, ahw qnts to prove that HER ideas are successful. And they are, but she probably feels like she doesn't get enough recognition for them since she wasn't asked to work on the PPG reboot and she was pretty much kicked off the MLP reboot after the first season despite heading the show and making it super successful in the first place.

>>92850479
That's Donna. Donna doesn't get thick until she gets the black costume.
