One thing that isn't talked about at all is how Doc is probably a massive cheater or at least rule bender. He is canonically friends with two of the biggest rule makers of all time that being Smokey Yunick (Smokey) and Junior Jhonson (Junior). The likely hood that none of their scheming or rule bending rubbed off on him has to be zero. We know he is willing to fake concern with Lighitng to win says enough. Doc is willing and able to mess around with things to make it for his advantage. You better believe that he is busting open the 95 and taking a looksee on what he can improve. For the rest of the crew, he is going to mess around with their equipment to make sure they have the advantage. I'm not saying that piston officials started to sweat when the heard that Doc was Lighting's full time crew chief, but the best rookie in decades just got a close friend of both Smokey and Junior. That sounds like a dangerous combination.

I guarantee new rules were made just because Doc was messing around with something.

So I'm seeing a bunch of posts around these days suspiciously trying to tie shows being cancelled to the recent rise in piracy due to the uptick in streaming costs.

So I thought I'd remind everyone if the time Olan Rogers was forced to pirate the third season of Final Space because Warner Brothers had cancelled and memory holed it as a tax write off. A show HE CREATED.

That was back in 2022, before the hikes, before the mass wave of streaming sub losses. Don't let people fool you, it's not piracy that's killing your favorite shows. It's corps doing the same bullshit they always do.

Inside Job didn’t just get canceled.

It had its first season split in two, a tactic animators said was used for Cuphead to let them pay staff less. Then, the show was renewed for a real second season.

And then the show was canceled before that second season anyway.

Final Space didn’t just get canceled on the most depressing cliffhanger ever. It was removed from all platforms before becoming a tax write-off, essentially meaning the only ways of really watching the show is through DVD or pirating.

The Owl House wasn’t just given a shortened third season. Disney, a company already known for a, let’s say, complicated relationship with its LGBT+ history, took a show created by a bisexual woman, filled with beloved LGBT+ characters, some of which were teenagers just like the audience, and told said creator to destroy her shows pacing so she could finish her story in just 3 45 minute specials.

Hey, hot take, but if a company decides they no longer want to distribute a piece of media they own the rights to, then they should be legally required to sign the rights back over to the creator.

They shouldn't be allowed to just sit on the IP for the rest of time, especially if they have no intention of ever releasing it again.
