The Daily Wire has been going through huge financial struggles which have resulted in many layoffs. However, most didn’t know what happened behind the scenes. The former CEO and co-founder of the company Jeremy Boreign recently revealed the issues with their movie and TV production as a hedge fund looking to buy or partner with the Daily Wire has said it lost $50 million dollars making a anti-woke Game of Thrones.

    It’s just another King Arthur adaption? Really? When I read anti-woke, I was imagining Teutonic knights slaughtering infidels in the Holy Land or something. No wonder even their own chud viewers didn’t want to watch that.

      There was a Robin Hood adaptation like a decade ago where the first half of the flick was basically just the Global War on Terror but with trebuchet-launched precision airstrikes and longbows instead of assault rifles.

        Oh, you weren’t kidding. It’s just straight-up an American Iraq war movie, but with medieval aesthetics. And I do mean aesthetics, because the crossbows are actually assault rifles, with magazines and gun sounds, and the rest is also just military equipment turned medieval. Who thought having adult men running around and pretending their bows are guns was a good idea? It just looks so damn goofy

        Edit: After that scene, they completely change the movie to The Mask of Zorro pretty much. Really bizarre movie
