I don't look for Aquaman 2 to flop sadly, the majority of fans rarely back up these boycott campaigns with an actual boycott. And even if it does flop at the box office, WB will publicly hide it by claiming that views on HBO Max made up for the poor box office, just like they did with Wonder Woman 1984. Considering the mountain of evidence in Johnny's favor, it would be utterly shocking to me if he loses in April. But, at the same time, this case is in Fairfax County, one of the furthest left counties in Virginia and in the US as a whole, so I could see the judge being so scared of being attacked by the far left nutjobs in his own county if he sides with Johnny that he will give the case to Amber in spite of everything against her. I have very little faith in the sanctity of the US justice system, ever since my mother lost her medical malpractice case against the surgeon who cut through the wrong duct during a routine gallbladder removal surgery, nearly killing her. The veil over my eyes was lifted during that case, we listened to our lawyer when he recommended that we should let a judge decide because a jury would be unlikely to side with a victim in a medical malpractice case, we watched the surgeon lie under oath about telling my family he made a mistake, we watched the judge sleep through half the case and then rule in the Surgeon's favor, we watched our lawyer go out to dinner with the Hospital's legal team after losing our case. The hospital very clearly paid off both our lawyer and the judge. |
WB won't have any simultaneous HBO Max-theatrical releases in 2022, it's for their 2021 slate only, so they won't have HBO Max views to fall back on, but yeah, I won't be seeing Aqua Man 2 in theaters because I refuse to support WB for rewarding and enabling her for what she's done while firing JD, the actual victim. And I've gone out of my way to avoid buying EA, Activision and Konami's games (what few they actually still make, anymore, which are rubbish, anyway), so believe me, I stick to my (boycott) guns (oh, how I wish all these "EA/Acti are evil!11!" folks would put their money where their mouth is). If I care to watch it, I'll watch a bootlegged version on the internet so they don't get my money like I did Black Christmas 2019 (I watched it for free online just because I was dying to know how bad it was out of morbid curiosity, and holy shit was it awful).
As for the Virginia case, I wouldn't worry too much about pandering. I get the skepticism (look at all the provable crimes she's committed and gotten away with), but my guess is that this judge is NOT similarly going to bat for the most hated person in the world who has a mountain of evidence against her and continually looking worse with every new bit of info and who she'd already struck a nerve by wasting the court's time in trying to get the case thrown out based on the faulty UK verdict which even American judges, including herself, have said JD did NOT get a fair trial. She had all the cards in the UK case because of all the well-documented ties she had with the judge and she herself wasn't an actual party to, here, she'll have no recourse. It's a she BTW.
