And of course there's Batgirl - the studio spent $90M on it. Meaning, massive businesses do that all the time. When something fails to perform, sometimes it is better to just accept your losses and move on, rather than spend even more in trying to resuscitate it. This is not to say that Rings of Power will get to that point. But it is unclear just how popular it is, and whether or not it will be able to sustain or grow that popularity. At the least we can say that it is not--yet--the smashing success that Amazon hoped it would be.</blockquote>
