Filming with Jackie Chan for Snafu took a lot of out of him also. He became depressed and his physique took a major hit. Tough to come back from that at 45 years old.

jesus christ snafu is 5yr old movie
Why Did It Take John Cena and Jackie Chan’s ‘Hidden Strike’ So Long to Get Released?
For a long time, the recent Netflix film was sort of like John Cena: you couldn't see it.

Oh wow I figured it was a matter of a year or two. Crazy.

Damn 7 month gap on this thread only to find out we got another 3 year gap on next season.
What's up with Jewywood these days and taking years to release 8 episode seasons where we used to get 20+ episodes twice a year up until the past decade?
Less new shows too.
Oh well, least we got Strange New Worlds coming in June I think it is.

Those 24 episode seasons had a ton of filler and repetition. I don't think we need to go back to those.

spoilers, its still all filler bullshit. there are maybe 3 episodes of actual content in an 8 episode season. at least a 24 episode season you get filler and you get to know the characters.

Not just the best out of DC but this show is the best superhero live action product since 2019 Endgame/The Boys S1. Hard to believe they need three years to make it fit into the Gunnverse.
At least Gunn didn't totally shitcan the whole show though, I guess.

The only show that needed 24 episodes was... 24, and it was great because the filler was Jack Bauer killing pedo's, torturing terrorists and breaking the law.

Thanks guys, now I'm bummed! I saw how long we'd have to wait until I got to see Agent McHottie again so I looked her up on IMDB, and there isn't anything at all listed for upcoming work for her.
Might as well trigger myself twice now, with Lance Reddick being gone forever too

Easily doable with 13 episode seasons. Do you really feel robbed by breaking bad, better call Saul, mad men, six feet under, the wire, sopranos, oz etc?
And, keep in mind, those 20+ seasons were mostly broadcast network shows so that's like 40 minutes of actual show. And plenty of them would have a crisis of the week that didn't really add much to the characters.
24 episodes for 24 didn't mean much more character depth, just more silly twists that often undetermined characters. Or prison break season one where they extended the show and killed all buildup and tension. Lost that just added more pointless meandering and masturbatory tangents.
I think the long seasons were really only nice with comedies.

13 episodes is a good compromise, 6 or 8 episodes really is too short. i just remember becoming attached to certain characters over a long season.

It really depends on the show.
Shows like X-Files, House, Dexter, etc. work great with more episodes since the _____ of the week are what the shows are all about while the overarching story is just there to add flavor and give the writers different things to work with.
